Don’t you just love it when realizations pour in to confirm that what you’re doing is right on track?? Today presented me with such an epiphany, not once but three times….

In this Business Personal Development post I want to share three things with you that I learned while  being away from my business today.

A good friend of mine gave me the gift of book keeping software and a course to go with it as a Christmas gift. I’ve avoided doing anything with this till now but since the course expires at the end of the month I thought it would be ungrateful of me not to at least do the one day business book keeping program.

Today was it!!

I always wake up excited, in anticipation of spending another new day helping others and growing my business. This morning was no exception although I knew I would be doing something very different for the day.

As I made my way across the busy early morning city I was as usual  full of the joys of life.

I soon became aware that I was pretty much alone with my joy!

I had joined the ranks of what seemed like thousands of faceless worker ants all heading in a trance like state to wherever they had to be. There were no smiles, heads were down and everyone was in a frenzied rush to get to wherever they were going. How horrible.

I realized I had forgotten how stressful it is to be a part of the job force routine. Immediately I was reminded of how blessed I am not to have to earn my living in this way. How fortunate I am to be able to work from home, never have to push and jostle my way though crowds twice a day and then spend the time in between doing something I don’t enjoy.

Lesson no 1 reminded me to be very grateful for the amazing opportunity I have to be doing what I do. The alternative is not an option.

At the course, everybody had to introduce themselves and say what they did for living. Out of ten people I was the only business owner. Come the first tea break and suddenly I had eight very eager people surround me, wanting to know more about what I did. As I spoke to them I was reminded  not only of the fact that there are so many people desperate to escape their circumstances but that we hold the key to help many of these to live empowered lives.

Lesson no 2 was being reminded that I personally can and do make a difference to many people’s lives. Knowing what I do, it is my responsibility to share this so that those who are ready can take the step.This is why I am where I am.

By the end of the day I had learned a great deal about business accounting  that I didn’t know but more importantly I learned that I don’t want to be spending any time on doing my businesses books either, not because this is unimportant but because there are others who do love accounting and they will do it for me while I attend to what I love.

Lesson 3 was the realization that I really love what I do. I missed being away from my business today. It’s where I belong.

So what about you? Do you love your business despite the hard times? Do you miss it when you’re not doing it?

Do you understand that you are where you are because you have responded to a calling to empower yourself so that you can help others do the same? It’s an awesome responsibility and one that we should revere and love with all our hearts. If you don’t could it be that you are meant to be doing something else?

My goal? Helping you achieve yours!
