Picture this: You are a new business owner. You are filled with excitement at the idea that you are going to be your own boss and call the shots. You have so many creative thoughts that you are ready to put into action. Your customers are great and they pay you well. You are making more money & experiencing more freedom.

Life is beautiful~

Well, that was your first few years in business and now it is year 4 or 5 or even more and you have hit the wall. The ideas are not there like they used to be and you are overwhelmed with all the work that you have to do to keep up with demand.

Life is not so great~

You are in a business rut my friend. That is the bad news. But the good news is that you can climb out of that hole and get back to living the good business owner life. Check out some tips below to see how:

Go back to the basics - Revisit “your why” which is the reason you began your business journey in the first place. If you are looking for more insight into “your why” check out this TED Talk here by Simon Sinek.

Maybe it is time to rebrand your business - If your brand is outdated or just needs a little bit of sprucing up then this could be just the thing to get you reinvigorated. Check out this article to learn how to do it.

Take a vacation - You might just need a break to collect your thoughts, rediscover yourself and chill out.

How to Stay Motivated When Building Your Business

Do you sometimes feel like a hamster on a wheel that never stops? Like you are working towards your goals for getting your business off the ground but your not getting anywhere? I can sure relate to both of these feelings. And when I feel like I am hitting a brick wall I go back to square one to regroup: My "Why".

Simon Sinek describes your why as, "The purpose, cause, or belief that inspires you to do what you do".

It sounds simple but in the rush of everyday life, this idea can get lost. I would encourage you to write down a one-sentence statement that describes why you are interested in being a health & wellness entrepreneur.

Make it bold and personal.

On the days when you feel like you are spinning your wheels take it out and meditate on it. Or put your statement on a piece of paper and tape it to your bathroom mirror. The point is to stay motivated and energized toward making your business a success. Take a listen to the TED Talk Simon did describing this "why" idea in greater detail.

What is your "why"? Tell me in the comments below.
