Entrepreneur Survey 2008 Results Show The Importance of Self Care for Business Success.

Happy New Year! And, by the way, Happy Chinese New Year - this week marks the first week of the Year of the hard working Ox. From what I have read on the Chinese Zodiac calendar, we are in for a year of turbulence and all signs point to paying extra attention to our health. Interestingly, that is also what our enSpire Entrepreneur survey results show too.

Of over 60 respondents to our Survey Monkey survey last month, ALL respondents unanimously agreed on the importance of taking care of themselves and its direct relationship on how this impacts their business, yet many admit to time, family, motivation and money being obstacles to activating this belief.

Remember, without a healthy YOU, your business does not function. Here are some great comments from our survey that I hope will make you reconsider your commitment to your personal health this year.

"If we feel strong, focused and motivated, this will translate into how we run our businesses."

"One must put on their oxygen mask first before helping others to put on theirs."

"Excellence is directly proportional to one's mental, physical and emotional state."

enSpire Coaching is affiliated with a number of health practitioners for your body and your your spirit - personal trainers, online training programs, spiritual guides, meditation experts, holistic nutrition practitioners, etc. Contact us for referrals to some great champions of self care.

Personal Reflection

When one door closes, another one opens....I am such a believer now. I had always heard that this is true and intuitively, have know and experienced this on a small scale but it has hit me like a ton of bricks this month!  BANG! Having let go of a number of relationships that were draining and negative in my life, the universe has opened up multiple doors and opportunities for me within which I can serve and learn.  I have learned that "creating space" really attracts new adventures. The stars are aligning to manifest my dream of bringing coaching to the masses of entrepreneurs at a higher, more physical level. So when the ducks are as aligned as the stars, I will happily and joyfully share my newest adventure. Stay tuned!
