“If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm.”
~ Frank Lane

Overtired and Overwhelmed…

A couple of weeks ago, I was diligently working on a new project. Although I started the day with lots of energy and enthusiasm, I was at a point where I began to feel tired and overwhelmed. When I started my own business, I promised myself that I would not let my inspiration turn into “the work that had to be done.” Remembering this promise, I saved my document, cleaned up my desk and decided to take a break.

STORMS were raging everywhere…

On this particular day, it was raining heavily outside. Because the weather in South Florida is normally sunny and beautiful, I was a bit annoyed that I couldn’t take a walk to clear my head and shift my attitude. So, I decided to switch on the television and
find a distraction. That was a HUGE MISTAKE! Channel after channel, I found programs AND advertisements focusing on the terrible state of the economy, personal stories of despair, and the bad times still to come. Not only was there a rainstorm outside keeping me inside, but there was also a “doom and gloom” storm all around me holding me hostage. I suddenly felt even more tired and overwhelmed.

Where is the LIGHTHOUSE?

Small business owners and professionals are often asked by clients, “How are things going?” Time and time again I hear responses that focus solely on the negatives. These types of responses are actually giving power to the STORM and creating additional fear and uncertainty around us. Why not be a LIGHTHOUSE? Why not focus on what is positive and the hope that the future brings? Just like the rainstorm outside, I know the current economic challenges will eventually pass. As a lighthouse, I can help others to see this more clearly as the storms rage around them.

Are you seeking out other LIGHTHOUSES?

Would you like to join forces with a Business Coach and other small business owners and professionals interested in harnessing the power of positive thinking and creating BUSINESS SUCCESS in today’s economic reality? Could you benefit from being part of a group focused on discovering the business opportunities that exist TODAY?  If the answer is YES, the Power of Positive Business Coaching Group is your answer.

Take care,
