Sharing My Purpose

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending a local group of business owners in a neighboring town at the invite of my friend, Lily. While I wasn’t sure what to expect I am so thankful for the opportunity to speak and share my purpose with others.

In sharing with a young lawyer how he could build a bigger practice without sacrificing quality and take his upcoming honeymoon without packing the laptop, I shared my purpose of growing without putting your life on hold.

In speaking with a wealth manager who has built a successful business but is mired in the day-to-day operations how systems could free up his time, I shared my goal for making quantum leaps without burnout.

During this event, each member had the chance to introduce their guests so we could continue to network and get to know each other in the space and time provided.

After speaking to the room giving a 30 second “elevator pitch” about the work I do in my business, I was immediately approached by the owner of a fitness business. She shared that since opening her business a year ago she hasn’t taken much time off but – great news – has just found out she’s pregnant.

With twins.

So, ready or not, time off is coming! In speaking with her I was most connected to why I get out there and share my purpose and the purpose for my business. It’s about balance. I want to work with this woman so she can relax and enjoy her pregnancy without stress and worry, knowing that when it’s time she’ll be back in her business and there won’t be messes to clean up.

She’ll have enough of that at home with twins!

It’s almost palpable, the stress I can see in an entrepreneur who has a lot riding on this campaign, this business and these clients. Everyone I choose to work with feels a deep connection to the work they do, knowing that their skills and talents are improving lives. It’s an incredible honor to help hold that business and ensure that there are other capable hands holding up your purpose.

One person can’t do it all alone. You might feel burnout, you might end up sick, you might be pregnant! Whatever the path your life takes, knowing that you have the support you deserve in your business can help you move forward in faith, knowing that all is well.

The lawyer I met tonight won’t know that on his upcoming trip, but he’ll be thinking about it for the next one.

The wealth manager may not have that free time yet but this week he’ll be envisioning how his business can grow with the right support.

And the fitness coach has a short timeline for establishing the systems that will serve her business, not just when she’s out for maternity leave, but for years and years to come.

I firmly belief that it’s my purpose to share that there is a better way to do business, I am here to help you build your systems and grow your business in balance.

If you know your purpose and why you are an entrepreneur, I’d love to show you how to accomplish those goals.

What’s your motivation for building systems?
