Are your hormones screwing with your business?

Let’s face it, as an entrepreneur you have to motivate yourself.

There is no boss looking over your shoulder making sure that you do the work to keep busy and be productive.

In a world where far too many people suffer the syndrome of ‘lack of self motivation’ (which is in my opinion due in part to being programmed by the educational system and the workforce) – basically because we have been forced from an early age to do shit we don’t really feel like doing – day in and day out) – we’ve never learned how to be self motivated (because we really haven’t had to be).

Once you decide that the path of a conventional career is not for you and choose the entrepreneurial path instead, you might notice how difficult it can be to stay focused and get shit done.

This is especially noticeable when you choose to work from home – with all of it’s distractions.

And if ALL that isn’t hard enough, we women have more than the usual entrepreneurial challenges to deal with.

The impact of menstruation on our work is not often spoken of.

Let’s face it, when you have a job, you may not like how you feel working on the days that you bleed (and if your hormonal havoc is really bad, your productivity might start waning significantly 1-2 weeks leading up to your period), BUT as long as you show up and do the job, you’re A ok, even if you feel a little slow, tired or emotional.

There is always ibuprofen for the pain and the fact that you are low vibe for few days doesn’t really have much of an affect on your regular paycheque.

An entrepreneur on the other hand can’t afford the luxury of pushing through in a low vibe state, because being in a low vibe is NOT client attractive – and having major lulls in productivity over the month can mean there are no leads being generated or money coming in.

There is no quick fix for that.

If you have hormonal havoc, your ability to be successful in your business is definitely suffering.

You may even think that you are defective in some way or just don’t have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

But I am here to tell you that your habits and behaviours are not you.

They may be deeply ingrained, but they aren’t intrinsic to you.

Your physiology affects your personality traits. 

When you have hormonal havoc here are just some of the inefficient ways you might find yourself doing business (or not taking yourself and your business seriously)…..

1) Hate networking (small talk is not for the moody!)
2) You want clients – but not really (because what if you are not in the mood anymore when their session is scheduled?!).
3) You too often have to cancel your sessions because of tension headaches, brain fog and period pain.
4) You are unfocused, busy doing a lot of shit, but not getting much of value accomplished.
5) You are too sensitive or insecure to be able to handle being visible on social media (paranoia).
6) If someone questions, criticizes or offers even constructive feedback about what you ‘share’, you get angry or have to cry.
7) You are afraid to take on too much, because you are always worried that you’ll run out of energy or crash.
8) ‘Overwhelm’ is your middle name and you are afraid to take on new clients because you don’t trust your self to be able to stay on top of the work.
9) You’ve got magical thinking….you wish that you could just sit back and facilitate your work without having to sell – or wish someone would ‘discover you’, wave a magic wand and make you an overnight success.
10) You’ve got resistance to everything you once felt like doing and regret having put all that stuff on your calendar (because now it feels like a chore and an obligation).
11) Don’t want to be seen in photos or on video because you feel puffy bloated and fat.
12) Your clients annoy you when they struggle, because it triggers your own ‘stuff’

These are not personality traits, they are ‘inharmonious’ feelings generated by ‘inharmonious hormones’ and ‘inharmonious habits’.

If your hormones are ‘out of balance, so is your business.

How could it be any other way?

Our world is a reflection of how we feel inside.

We have to look deeper into the inner workings of our lives to address the root cause of our struggles in business.

There is no point learning more marketing tactics when the root cause of your struggles are hormonal.

A hormonal person can’t bring even the best of plans to fruition.

But it is not really about balancing your hormones.

It is about harmonizing your life.

When you harmonize your life – body, mind, heart and soul – you get back in flow and harmony with yourself.

And your business becomes a reflection of that!
