‘You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with’

Have you ever wondered why you do what you do every day?
· Make your clients happy
· Make more money
· Build to sell
· Buy another house
· Go on a beautiful holiday
· Buy nice cars, clothes, furniture, things….
And then what, what happens once you’ve all ticked those boxes?
Goals like these make sense to us and drive us ‘just enough’ to do what we need to do to achieve them; but these goals we strive for everyday trick us into feeling like we have purpose and meaning in our life. Sadly, as each year ticks by we seem to feel less and less fulfilled and sometimes even stuck.
So, what’s that niggling feeling of “There’s got to be more to life and business than this” or “I know I have more to give than this”
Imagine finding something you were so passionate about achieving that you would move mountains to achieve it. Something so exciting and magnetising that nothing at all in this world would stop you.
Not self-doubt
Not lack of skills (sales, people, leadership)
Not exhaustion
Not fear
Not perfectionism
Not lack of time
Something so compelling that all the excuses, fears and doubts would be ‘figureoutable’ (Marie Forleo - Everything is figureoutable)
This is how powerful it can be to be clear on your ‘WHY’ and why I spend so much time throughout my program ‘The Entrepreneurial Bookkeeper’ on unearthing it.
Your ‘PURPOSE’ or ‘WHY’ can get buried deep under all the ‘stuff’ we chase and we end up feeling empty, not passionate about our days and end up photo copying year after year after year doing the same thing and not even expecting a different result. We know how it’s going to look next year; it’ll be just a little busier than this year with less time off right.
The way you put your days, weeks and years together is up to you. I mean that; it’s a choice and you get to decide, your business is not ‘happening to you’ you make a decision of what it will look like, and it can be exciting, passion driven and fun if you know your ‘WHY’ Everything is figureoutable; and I know that because other Bookkeepers and Accountants are doing what you want to do in your business right now and if they can do it so can you.
