Ep#42 The Do-What-You-Love Myth

👉Listen To The Episode Here👈

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

This is one of those calendar quote cards that should be burned along with crocs. 🤣 I’m sorry but adults have no business wearing crocs and we should also stop believing that if we love what we do things will always be easy.

Here’s the thing.

I LOVE being a coach.

I love working with my clients and helping them transform their relationship with time, their relationship with themselves, and how they manage their emotions. How all of this ripples out to their children.

I LOVE coaching. I love it so much that I would do it for free all day long every day.

It is my calling. It is at the core of who I am and I cannot imagine NOT doing it.

BUT…it doesn’t mean that there isn’t work involved in running this business. I serve my clients at the highest level.

And it also doesn’t mean that there aren’t days where I feel like just staying in bed. Or even selling everything and living on an island with my family…

This cliche of do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life is a thought error. And if you believe it it will hurt your business and cause you to think that you’re not doing it right.

Being an entrepreneur, and being a business owner is work. And someone has to actually do it.

There will be days when the work feels effortless and when it is excruciatingly hard.

There will be days when you love your business. And there will be days where you despise it.

The work lies in loving your business unconditionally. Believing in WHY you are doing this and continuously bringing yourself back to that why.

You’re not meant to love it all the time. YOU ARE A HUMAN! We’re not built to only feel the good. There are cycles in any business just like we have seasons in nature.

The key is to understand that just because it’s winter and things look dead. It doesn’t mean they are.

So stop putting the pressure of If I don’t love it all the time then I should maybe not be in this business…because then you’ll never actually get to the point of building a business that makes the kind of impact you dream of.
