the business of YOU
This morning, as I was walking out of the gym, I had a thought cross my mind that I wanted to explore further in today’s Note.
Today was my first morning working out with my friend, who is now also my trainer, Franqlin. I’ve been working out sporadically at home and still doing yoga when the summer mornings allow it; I wouldn’t say I’ve lost my discipline, but I’m not getting the physical workouts I want in, and I know it’s because working out alone by my Self is not the way for me.
I need to be around other people.
I need to be chasing someone else.
I need accountability to ensure I don’t justify missing a workout for more rest.
I showed Franqlin an old picture of where I want to take my body, and as I thought about this picture, I made the connection that not only am I a business owner when it comes to Santiago and PRST, but I’m also the owner of another important business…my SELF.
Stay with me.
The business of our Self has the same important components as a traditional business:
We need sound finances–personal finances and plan.
We need a good culture–our internal dialogue.
We need memorable marketing–our physical appearance.
We need strong branding–our reputation.
We need a wide network–our connections.
We need a service to provide–our unique gifts and talents.
We are all businesses.
Yet for many of us, our finances, internal dialogue, and physical appearance/health are not in order, and our unique gifts and talents are untapped.
If you were running a business, my guess is that you would spend a considerable amount of energy (and money) ensuring these were as good as they could be.
But when it comes to our Self, we let it slide.
We can change that.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
