In a few weeks I’ll be thirty-one. That’s super young. But another year is never guaranteed. As an online business owner – and as a human – I’m ready to grow and exceed my original expectations.
Instead of waiting for the “right time,” each day I’m shifting my mindset in seven key ways. (Some are nerdier and more spiritual than others!)
- Forceful Productivity → Restful Productivity
- Audience Targeting → Keyword Targeting
- Low Online Visibility → High Online Visibility
- Last-Minute Panic Marketing → Sustainable Content Marketing
- Guesswork → Intention
- Victimhood → Leadership
- Fast Track to Burnout → Proper Pacing
Let’s take a quick look at each of these seven mindset shifts for online business owners.
Forceful Productivity → Restful Productivity
Whether I’m creating a “me time” block in my Google Calendar or aligning my projects with my menstrual cycle, I get more done by continually tuning into the messages my body is sending me.
Audience Targeting → Keyword Targeting
By studying the questions, needs, and language of my ideal audience, I get to save money on ads while growing in my expertise and creating a more intimate connection with my clients.
Low Online Visibility → High Online Visibility
I am only as hidden as I want to be. When it’s time to create more content on a wider variety of social platforms, I do so without the need for perfection.
Last-Minute Panic Marketing → Sustainable Content Marketing
Urgent action can be wise, but panic blurs my vision of the long-term goal. I reflect this in the way I manage my energy and plan my content ahead of time.
Guesswork → Intention
“If I wake up 7 different days, maybe one day I’ll complete my project.” OR “For the next 7 days I’m going to dedicate 1 hour to finishing this project.” The latter is spoken by someone who’s resourceful and relentless.
Victimhood → Leadership
Misfortune, pain, trauma…they’ve all been a part of my life. I can either own them or let them own me.
Fast Track to Burnout → Proper Pacing
Think about it – every athletic competition requires stretching, training, building, and sacrifice. And it also requires rest, recovery, reflection, and pacing.
I haven’t learned any of this by myself. Grateful for those who have supported me throughout my life.
