Manage Your Energy – Eliminate Liabilities
You don’t want to “balance” your energy, you need to manage your energy. If you want to feel and perform your best ALL THE TIME, your goal should be to have all assets and NO liabilities.
When you live full of assets, it helps your tangible asset count go up as well. I explain this concept in my book, “Yes! Energy: The Equation to Do Less, Make More.”
There are many resources that can support, and impediments that can detract from, extreme optimism and energy. The resources that detract from it tend to drain you. You will literally FEEL tired, slow, worn down, unable to focus.
How many times have you actually been able to maintain your productivity like that?
Not many, I’m sure. Or, if you have, you become more mistake-prone, less detail oriented. You “are out of whack” as my friends from the South would say. Notice these in your life and don’t just decrease them, ELIMINATE them!
Energy & Attitude Liabilities
- Fear
- Hopelessness
- Pessimism
- Negativity
- Isolation
- Ignorance
- Perfectionism
- Comparing and despairing
- Gossip
- Judgment
- Confused contexts
- Hero complexes—“I can do it all . . .”
- Rescue compulsions—“. . . and save you, too”
These energy and attitude liabilities have NO PLACE in your life. NONE! They won’t help your mindset. They won’t help you make money. So get rid of them!
Eliminating them from your life will bring about a new, more positive, you – filled with Yes! Energy and ready to jump on any money-making opportunity that comes your way. It’s time to be EXCITED about your business. So kick the crap to the curb.
You deserve it.
Find Your Shining Example
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it’s also the best way to discover best practices for your industry and get your business off to a strong start. One way you can do this is through modeling. When you model a business, you find a business that is similar yours and look at what they are doing from an operational, financial, and marketing perspective. You then take what you learned from that and develop your own version. Modeling isn’t copying, far from it. It’s taking what is proven to deliver results and making it your own.
To find a business to model, start with the companies you know and admire. Become an avid consumer of their communications. Go to their Web sites. Subscribe to their newsletters. Add their company names to your Google Reader and Google search function. What you are doing is paying attention to how they do business. What is their voice? What products and services do they offer? What promotions do they run? Pay attention and pick up the parts that will work for you. Don’t just pick one. Choose several and watch them closely. Make it part of your daily education and inspiration.
Modeling works to your advantage because you aren’t reinventing the wheel with your business. You are allowing yourself to become more aware of the competition you have, understand what companies you want to be like, and fill the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Finding a business to model that inspires you is a good way to get there. Then YOU become the owner of a business that inspires someone else!
