I have heard this message a few times in the past month. Do you know what it is like to heard something over and over again, without actually listening to it?
I have suffered from “put myself last” syndrome…. This condition manifests itself in many ways. In my personal life it means putting my family before myself, ensuring they have what they need before I worry about what I need. I know I am not alone, most mothers can sympathize with the symptoms of this condition. We are told over and over again that we need to look after ourselves in order to be the best moms for our children. Even during the airplane safety instructions they tell us to put the oxygen mask over our own faces first before assisting others!
As a business owner, the trend continued. I put my client’s needs before my own as well. Their businesses got all the attention and planning and I put off implementing the same strategies that I recommended to my clients.
Can relate to this condition? Are you a coach, service provider, or business owner who provides information and guidance to your clients? Perhaps you have helped your clients make huge breakthroughs in their businesses and then wondered why you aren’t taking your own advice.
You aren’t alone! This condition affects many entrepreneurs. You have amazing gifts to share and the first client that you need to serve is YOU! Take all the tools you have and use them as a plan to lay out your own success. By becoming your best client, your prospective clients will see what you are capable of before they even start reading your recommendations.
Having a coach is important. I have been working with a coach for my business, and I can tell you that having someone to bounce ideas off of and to be accountable has allowed me to make a difference in the way I do business. She has been helping me to implement and complete projects that I have pushed to the bottom of my to do list for far too long.
Working as an entrepreneur doesn’t mean that you have to work alone. There are mastermind groups, training, networking and coaching available to you. If you have been sitting on the fence wondering how you can possibly get it all done, now is the time!
