Your Metaphorical Skin

“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.” – Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States (1933-1945), diplomat, and activist

Have you ever thought of your skin as a boundary? It may sound weird, but it’s an example we can all understand. Our skin protects everything inside it, and we don’t question whether that’s good or bad.

Other personal boundaries are a different story. Gaining confidence, saying ‘no’ with kindness, and speaking your mind without apology are great places to start creating your metaphorical skin to protect your emotional well-being.?

Just like your actual skin, these boundaries don’t make you a ‘good person’ or a ‘bad person’ – they protect…

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

What boundaries are you missing that would protect your time, energy, and well-being?

Here’s the Twist . . .

To truly focus on what’s important, we need to remove distractions. Constant interruptions rob us of this focus, which means we need better boundaries.

Effective (and consistent) boundaries are an important part of meaningful communication. These boundaries allow the focus and clear thinking that helps us say what we mean and mean what we say.

This effective communication provides a firm foundation for all the other work I do with my clients – whether it’s building a pricing model, making daily operations run smoothly, improving business development and sales, entering new markets or planning your exit.

Some of these ideas may surprise you:

• Have you fallen into the trap of thinking you need to work harder to make more money?
• When do you communicate assertively the best? What stops you in your tracks and keeps you silent?
• What will it take for you to stop apologizing for every little thing?

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

In my experience, women don't retire; they transition into a new stage of purpose and impact. Whether you are 40 or 60, the idea of retirement may not appeal to you. Just because you can retire doesn’t mean you’ll want to.

Are you ready to protect your well-being so you can focus on what’s most important?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.?
