Focus on Amour Propre-/ˌämo͝or ˈprôpr(ə)/
(French, literally “self-love”). It means love – “amour” and self – “propre“.
SO, I think this young man was running from a spider under his bed and decided to sleep on top of the door. Someone shared this with me and I took one look at it and could relate.
Not to the spider, but in an entrepreneurial way to the end of the year being so full of chaos that I might as well sleep on top of the door cause the bed is definitely not going to see much of me!!
Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? DON’T YOU DARE LIE!!!! LOL!
Let’s dwell on this for a hot second. Bosses, Leaders, MIC/WIC (Man and Woman in charge!!!) Have you ever just felt as if your head was going to pop off your body if one more wonky thing happened, one more person called in, one more person asked you if you had a minute, or one more dang bill showed up?!?
Leadership + long-term stress = A very uncomfortable situation for all involved. The decision-making process is affected by the presence of stress. Now, before you just go off and talk about how diamonds are created from intense pressure and how they are so unscratchable and hard, please know that hardness does not mean indestructible! Just take a look-see…
SO… before you talk about how great you are under stress and how your production levels soar, JUST STOP, and take a great big ole breath.
DO you really think that in the absence of bushels of stress, you are ineffective? IDK about you, but a bushel of stress vs. a bushel of beans, Imma take the beans, add some smoked turkey tails, cook up some cornbread, and have me a nice bowl of comfort food!
Seriously yall, I know that there is more to do’s that will not get done on a daily. SO?…It IS WHAT IT IS!!!! You can only be in one place (even if you skype, loom, or zoom room yourself to 100 more places) at a time.
You can only multi-task successfully until you don’t, and hopefully, the mistake you make does not cost you your business. You can only physically do so much before your body submits to exhaustion, and hopefully, the heart attack you have won’t kill you. You can only neglect your family so much before they don’t even count on you anymore, and hopefully, you realize that actions do speak louder than words…
Look, I just want everyone’s heads to stay firmly planted on their necks as we all race to the finish line of 2019. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
CHEERS!
