Stress Relief Blog

Some entrepreneurs and solo preneurs are successful in business not knowing what is your gift and consequently unhappy with themselves. This experience can cost you a bundle emotionally and financially.

Cecil: I think being the business is an extremely bad thing. If you own your own business, you work in a business or have a business that deserves your attention, the challenge here is if you become the business, then all you’re doing is you are working and making money.

What needs to happen is the business needs to run itself whether you are an entrepreneur, you own the business, or anything you do in the context of the business.

It is really important that you understand this because from a health perspective, you cannot go 24/7.

Let’s assume you get called away from your business. Do you have structures in place to look after the business? This is where the business can actually fold because you are all there is to it.

I believe all of us have all been born with a special gift. The really important business we should be in is the business of finding out what is unique about us, what we are good at. When we find out what we’re good at, we should focus on that.

There are a lot of things we don’t particularly want to do. For me, I don’t like to do bank reconciliation. I just don’t want to do it. I know it’s important, but I don’t want to do it. I hire someone to do it.

You need to take a break for yourself.

The whole business that we should be in is the business of finding out what is unique about us, our products and our services. Find out what that is and focus on it.

Whatever other services you need, you can bring the experts in.

That way, you have a stronger foundation. You are providing the uniqueness of your business to your clients and you’re hiring the other people to support you.

Then you have a phenomenal business, which you can take off and leave whenever you choose to.

The whole concept here is that stress causes you to be the business.

No. You don’t need to be the business.

Now that you understand that knowing what is your gift is one of the secret to health and happiness there is not only hope but a define course of action you can take to start to move beyond any question or concerns once and for all. Just imagine how much more energy, clarity and fun you can have in life.

Now I would suggest you get started by taking action and following the suggestions I outlined in heart of the article.

We appreciate you feedback. Comment below and tell what you think. Peace

In all my years I have helped entrepreneurs and solopreneurs find what is your gift in life? I have seen it all. Every “secret”. Every trick. Every new idea which is really a spin on what has been around for years.

When you discover your gift or passion you will stop spinning your wheels buying each flavour of the month and start focusing on what is your gift and start having fun again.

We don’t have to do these things, but because we don’t know what we want for ourselves and we’re not happy with ourselves, we think we’re supposed to be like somebody else.

Who that somebody else is, I don’t really know.

Imagine for a moment what your life would be like when you are serving your customers and they keep coming back for more because of your unique services.

We seem to get so caught up in the, “I want to be like Harry or Jane.”

I say, “How about you?”

I believe, personally, that we have been put here on this earth with phenomenal gifts.

Each of our gifts is unique.

This would be a much better place if we shared that gift with the world.

However, I lost myself because of my desire to make a lot of money.

I suffered from excruciating back pain and was divorced and bankrupt.

You see I did not know how to listen to the subtle message that the universe was suggesting to me.

When I woke up and realized I was in denial and sought the appropriate help my life turned around and I discovered my passion.

As a result I am no longer in pain and focused on ONLY making money. I can stop and smell the roses.

My gift is to teach Empty Your Cup® relaxation, meditation and heal your chronic symptoms. That’s my gift. Fortunately for me, I know what it is.

The other important lesson for me was that I did not know how to ask for help because to me to satisfy others rather than myself seem so easy. I was also too hard on myself which created all kinds of health problems.

If we would take the time to accept ourselves, we would learn more about ourselves and become more confident with whatever we have. Whatever we have, we ought to share with the world and make the world a better place.

Now you may agree with me that it would great to share what is your gift, but as creatures of habit we tend to easily slip back into old patterns of behaviour. Just remember that if you always live in the past then there is no future.

In my over 14 years of facilitating entrepreneurs and solopreneurs I am amazed at how many of them spend time helping others hoping somehow that they would find inner peace and happiness.

Wayne: Stress causes you to hate yourself.

Cecil: It does. I can use myself as an example. I am originally from Barbados. When I was much younger, my mom told me not to go outside and play. I decided to play in the house.

We were playing in the house and I was holding on to the rafters in the house. I fell and hit my lip on the bottom of the bed and it split my lip. I had to go to the hospital five days that week and they looked after me.

I had this whole myth that my lips were large. I had these big lips. My lips weren’t large. I just had this whole concept because of the experience I had. I went through life with this concept that my lips were large.

I was in sales and I was in the public. I was doing all these things and I had this idea in the back of my head that my lips were large. I didn’t hate myself, I hated my lips, but I blamed myself.

That created havoc in my life.

What’s fascinating is if you think about it, there is a whole industry that does facials. They do all kinds of body enhancements.

Let me go back to the situation with my lips. Where I solved mine was, at some point in time, I had a girlfriend who kissed my lips.

When she kissed my lips, I realized that my lips were beautiful. That’s how I learned my lesson. That was important for me.

Simply follow the story above to determine how you can feel like yourself without hating yourself. Now here’s my challenge to you: Think of three ways in which you can feel like yourself naturally?
