You Don’t Need to Work That Hard ??

Hope you've had a great week!

We’re definitely into the darker and drearier time of the year now, aren’t we?

It’s been a bit of a shock to the system with it going dark at 5pm. There’s a definite shorter feeling to the day. ??

Although it's my least favourite time of year, when we put the clocks back I always do remind myself that it's only 8 weeks or so until the nights start getting lighter again! (Actually only 6 now!).

It soon passes. ???

A lot of people say that they find it harder to get stuff done in this 'hibernation' time and lose a bit of mojo and momentum.

And one of the questions that often shows up in my 121 and group calls is about how to be more proactive rather than waiting for work to magically appear.

Just how?do you get going when you feel like snuggling under a blanket with a hot mug of tea and Netflix rather than getting on with your business? ??

The easiest thing to do is to find out what works and then do more of it! It's amazing how many times I hear: 'I don't do any marketing, it's all word of mouth' But I always say you must have done something to make that happen.

Work doesn't just magically appear! ? Find out what it is. Maybe it was one of your blog posts? ?? A talk that you gave at an event? ?? Or the fact that you're the go-to person in your niche and a lot of people know what you do! ?? It's always something.

But if you don't find out what it is, you can waste a lot of time, money and energy doing things that you might not need to do in the first place.

Which is why it can sometimes feel like a struggle. ?? So in these dark days of autumn/winter why not make it easy on yourself?

Find out what works, do more of it and I promise you'll have a lot more fun! And as ever, let me know your thoughts by replying back to this email. I'd love to hear from you...

Have a fabulous week!
