It’s Monday night. The week has only just started and you’re feeling defeated already.
Why?
Because even though you did all of your planning for this week, and decided exactly what you were going to work on, Monday morning came along and ruined it all.
We’ve all seen those articles about how creative people are special. Probably when we were scrolling social media, procrastinating on some task for our business that we know we need to do, but don’t know how to start.
They’re clickbait for creatives. And they make us feel good. We feel special – like we have some superpower that only a few are blessed with.
But we probably should also feel a little patronised and undervalued too.
There are many reasons why so many of us fail to stick to the goals that we set ourselves.
But a really big one is that quite often, we set goals based on what we want to happen, as opposed to what we’re going to do.
And you might be thinking, isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?
Running your own business is a very different experience than working for someone else.
In this post, I’ll share some habits you can develop that not only set you up for success, but will help you to gradually step into the role of a business owner and let go of some of the old ways of working that won’t serve you now.
In January it can seem like the whole world is setting goals and feeling super productive. But if you’re a maker, January can actually be a really difficult time to set new goals and make changes in yourlife and business.
