Not taking things for granted

Aug 17, 2021 3:21 pm

Hey there !


I'm back from sunny Croatia where I had a lovely time! Not even the stomach bug I caught on the first day could dampen my enthusiasm. I don't think I realised how much I needed this holiday until I was actually there and quite frankly I feel like I could use some more time off.


I used to travel every couple of months and I took for granted the effect it had on my mental health and overall wellbeing. What I also took for granted was the hassle-free way of moving around before the pandemic - no tests, no forms to fill in, no extra precautions. Just pack and go.


This realisation made me reflect on the things I take for granted in my business. Having a laptop, internet connection, the ability to make my own schedule and work from anywhere, being my own boss, choosing the clients I work with and so much more.


If these things (the first two at least) were taken from me with no ability to replace them, I would have no online business. Since I'm not at the beginning of my coaching business journey anymore, I don't think about these things very often. I have goals and aspirations that stretch beyond my current situation and what I have now is a given.


However, there was a time when what I have now was on my vision board. I never want to forget those times. They keep me grounded and grateful.


What are you taking for granted in your business, ? Goals and aspirations are important, but acknowledging your progress so far is what will give you the motivation to strive for more.


Until next time, stay aware and keep humble.

Alisa
