I&#8217;ve had to reschedule with clients, podcast guests, podcast interviews (so grateful for the grace and understanding of each of these ladies!) and have overall been absent on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always one to want to share lessons, I thought long and hard about what I could possibly share with you about this experience that would actually be meaningful to you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>I could talk about the power of delegating\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;because with just a few messages and Voxers, I was able to give my team what they needed to make sure Biz Women Rock was still moving while I was tending to my daughter. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>I could talk about how vital great systems are to run a successful business\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;because oh my goodness, is a hospital a ripe case study for old school and new school systems! Some that are high tech and mitigate errors (an ankle bracelet that had a barcode and QR code that they would scan anytime they took her blood pressure, did a test or conducted an exam like an MRI). And some that are really old and probably have a reason for still being used, but to the trained eye of an on-demand consumer, are obviously in need of updating (we seriously have to wait for the Doc to tell us test results in person? How about immediate communication via an online video conferencing platform so we can get results asap instead of waiting until she&#8217;s here again tomorrow?). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>I could talk about the power of niching\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;because coming to a children&#8217;s hospital instead of a general ER and hospital made such a huge difference! They specialize and therefore our experience was so much richer than it would have been otherwise. They had a play room where we spent a ton of time, an awesome red wagon that Sedona loooooved riding in, a playground we could go to in the courtyard and most importantly, doctors, nurses and care staff who deal with babies and kids all day every day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>I could talk about the power of FOCUS\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;because there ain\u2019t nothing like a health emergency that will make you massively shift your priorities in a millisecond. \u00a0All of a sudden, I knew exactly what the most important actions were, knew exactly how I needed to spend my time, knew exactly what I needed to do to and did it. \u00a0No hesitation. \u00a0No drama. \u00a0Just action. \u00a0(By the way, if FOCUS is something you need in your biz right now, check out the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/mastermind\"><b>Make It Happen Mastermind HERE<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">

<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I&#8217;m not going to talk about any of those practicalities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>I&#8217;m going to share with you about the EMOTIONAL JOURNEY of the past few days. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because all the achievements, to-do\u2019s, goals, systems and strategies in business happen on top of this thing called your <\/span><b>EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(\u201c<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the capability of individuals to recognize their own and other people&#8217;s emotions, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and\/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one&#8217;s goal(s)\u201d according to Wikipedia)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it hit me at 4am this morning, as I was was holding back tears as my daughter cried while they took blood from her one&#8230;last&#8230;time&#8230;that this entire journey of entrepreneurship forces us to uplevel our Emotional Intelligence BIG TIME. \u00a0That, just like a medical emergency, it puts situations in our face that will test us and that we <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to deal with. \u00a0And we\u2019ll either fail to rise to that test (ex: lose my shit with the girl who kept coming in and waking my daughter up to take her temp and blood pressure!) or we succeed with flying colors and oftentimes surprise ourselves by how mature we actually handle things (ex: not letting myself get overly fearful and worked up about anything I was speculating could be wrong with her). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the point is that we face so many situations that call our emotional intelligence into play and it\u2019s VITAL that we honor this and take the time to work on it and not just the practical strategies of business. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So many times during my 1on1 strategy sessions with clients, <\/span><b>emotional stuff will come up that requires attention in order for forward progress to be made. \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/304-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">week\u2019s podcast episode<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a perfect example of this&#8230;I featured Biz Women Rock member, Allie Weitzel during a Live Coaching session and while we were working on her time management strategies, it became apparent that she was beating herself up and having a lot of negative emotions around the fact that she had just gone through a major blow in her business and was having trouble recovering quickly. \u00a0It showed up in the practicalities of her not being able to get everything done she needed to get done, but the root of it was this negative emotion that was keeping her frozen and unproductive. \u00a0And if this emotion wouldn\u2019t have been dealt with, then no amount of strategizing could fix things!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>WHAT EMOTIONS ARE UNDERNEATH YOUR ACTIONS (OR INACTIONS) RIGHT NOW?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a brief exercise, I\u2019m sharing with you a quick list of the common emotions that so often come up in business and that definitely came up for me in the hospital. \u00a0My hope is that you\u2019ll take a look through them and ask yourself if you\u2019re feeling any of them right now. \u00a0And, if you are, take some time to journal about it&#8230;perhaps you\u2019ll uncover why you\u2019re having that emotion and can deal with it head-on. \u00a0And, when you do, I promise you, you\u2019ll be surprised by how quickly things snap back into place in your business!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>FEAR:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By far the most common &#8211; and often hidden &#8211; emotion in business! \u00a0Fear can look like\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I won\u2019t make the money I need to make<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll look stupid trying to sell my products\/service<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I\u2019m not as good as \u201cshe\u201d is<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I\u2019m not good enough<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll fail<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid my clients won\u2019t be satisfied<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll make that painful mistake again<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tricky thing about fear is that it often isn\u2019t obvious to us until we really do some digging. \u00a0Some triggers to know if fear is really what is underneath everything could be\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You keep putting off launching something (and have perfectly good excuses as to why)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You refuse to hire help even though you desperately need it<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are stop and go with your marketing because you want to do it \u201cperfectly\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are not doing something you know you need to do in your biz (creating a funnel, investing in a program, coaching or a mastermind, growing into a new market, etc)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are \u201cin a rut\u201d and can\u2019t get out<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re nodding your head at any of these, take some time to write in your journal about it and see where fear may be the root of what\u2019s holding you back in your biz!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>ANGER:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially if you\u2019re someone like me who really enjoys being positive and friendly, it may feel strange to be really ANGRY. \u00a0Which means that you may not want to identify it if it\u2019s there. \u00a0A few weeks ago, I kept blowing up at my husband (poor guy). \u00a0Yelling at him for the tiniest little things and even silently judging and cursing at him if he wasn\u2019t doing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exactly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what I would want him to do. \u00a0I was also getting SO frustrated so easily with everything I was attempting to do in my biz. \u00a0If I couldn\u2019t get an email out as fast as I wanted, I would blow up. \u00a0If I didn\u2019t have my entire program fill up <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the moment<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I started marketing, I was livid. \u00a0If I didn\u2019t get everything done I really wanted to, I was filled with anger. \u00a0I was ridiculously uncomfortable with this anger and I finally realized it was stunting everything for me. \u00a0So, I went to my journal and just started writing \u201cI\u2019m angry because\u2026\u201d and wrote 8 pages of all the things that pissed me off. \u00a0This process allowed me a safe space to BE ANGRY and have it be okay. \u00a0It also took the sting out of all those things because I was able to get it out of me. \u00a0And, ultimately, it helped give me clarity on what was actually going on (there <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">were <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 or 3 things I actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> legitimately angry about) and it gave me an opportunity to deal with them. \u00a0And because of this exercise, I stopped yelling at my hubs and gave him a giant apology ;). \u00a0(Have I mentioned he\u2019s a big fan of me journaling? lol!). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, is there something you\u2019re angry about? \u00a0Take a good look at it and spend some time letting yourself be angry. \u00a0Watch how doing that allows everything else to move right back into its groove. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERWHELM:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, so this isn\u2019t a legitimate \u201cfeeling,\u201d but it is something that so many biz women feel very often that can negatively impact our growth, so I believe it\u2019s worth noting. \u00a0Overwhelm comes when there\u2019s too much in front of us. \u00a0Too much opportunity. \u00a0Too much to do. \u00a0Too much responsibility. \u00a0Too much information. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It freezes us. \u00a0It stops us. \u00a0And generally speaking, it spirals us down into feeling isolated, depressed and disheartened. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And our business suffers big time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had to work really hard at staying out of overwhelm while we were in the hospital. \u00a0Every time they ran a test, new results would come back that would take us in a different direction with a new set of possible reasons we were here in the first place. \u00a0My mind quickly wanted to skip ahead into the possible diagnoses, which would flood my mind with statistics, solutions and causes that would immediately got my heart beating fast while worry and stress took over. \u00a0It was too much and I had to quickly reel myself back into the moment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed, here are a few hacks to get out of it fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Talk to someone.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Download what\u2019s going on in your mind onto a trusted friend, colleague or family member. \u00a0The act of talking it out will help you make sense of everything and deflate the feeling of pressure from your thoughts. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Journal.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Write down what you\u2019re feeling and why you\u2019re overwhelmed. \u00a0It will give you that same sense of relief as talking to someone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Write down your #1 priority<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0Ask yourself what is the ONE THING that is most important for you to do and write it down. \u00a0Nothing else. \u00a0And then go to work getting that one thing done. \u00a0That\u2019s it. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Write a brain dump of the to-do\u2019s in your head.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0I\u2019m not a huge advocate of a giant \u201cto-do list,\u201d but sometimes, getting all those thoughts or ideas or action items down on paper helps you feel like you\u2019ve gotten ahold of them and it\u2019s a great starting point for you to then prioritize your activities. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be present and focus on the next best step.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Stop thinking about the big picture and be present in the moment. \u00a0Just focus on the next thing you need to think about. \u00a0That\u2019s it. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>JOY:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding my baby girl when we walked into our house for the first time in 4 days so I could put her in her own bed for a restful nap&#8230;that was pure joy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the first person to commit to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/mastermind\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make It Happen Mastermind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and squealing in delight because I knew it was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exactly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what she has been craving to help her achieve her goals&#8230;that was incredibly joyful! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helping a client during a strategy session create a business model that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">made perfect sense<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for everything she\u2019s been building&#8230;total joy! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting on a Facebook Live and talking back and forth with you&#8230;pure joy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We feel JOY a LOT. \u00a0Yet, as a direct contrast to these other emotions, we tend to let the feeling come up and then quickly move on, not giving joy the full amount of attention it deserves. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing to understand about the emotion of JOY is that it is the fountain of youth for your business! \u00a0It keeps you young and vibrant and excited about your mission. \u00a0The more you feel it, the more refreshed energy you bring to your tasks, the more positivity you bring to your day, the more creativity and inspiration surround you! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, your job is to recognize joy, accentuate it and create MORE of it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How have you felt joy in your business lately? \u00a0My guess is that if you make a list of all the moments of joy, you\u2019ll be surprised by how many things you write down. \u00a0It may be a great way to get into a place of gratitude that will fuel your business into the stratosphere!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no escaping the emotions that are the foundation of our entire business workings. \u00a0And if we try&#8230;if we try to ignore fear or anger or overwhelm or joy and just work on strategy, then we\u2019ve done ourselves and our business a giant disservice. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s only when we understand that this entire business journey is one with our emotional and personal development that we can start to really make some massive moves towards our visions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PS: The above post was written the day we got home from the hospital. \u00a0I\u2019m happy to share that my daughter is doing GREAT and playing around like the energetic toddler she is! \u00a0Thank you SO MUCH for your thoughts and prayers and good energies sent our way! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPS: If hearing about the <\/span><a
