Publisher Description
Remember when you used to love your business?
In some ways, you still do. But it can also feel like a trap. No matter what you try, your business can't run without you and it doesn't scale. It can be frustrating. Overwhelming. Exhausting. But you can't just walk away. You're committed to what you've created, have clients and staff you care about, and you don't want to work for someone else.
Debbie King knows what it's like to feel trapped by a business you used to love. She felt that way for years before she made two fundamental shifts: she changed the way she thought about her business and the way she ran it.
In Loving Your Business, Debbie shows you how to rethink your relationship with your business and reclaim your life. Instead of taking everything from you, your business can give you what you really want: more time, a sense of purpose, and ultimately, complete financial freedom.
Learn how to leverage your brain and manage your mind so that you turn your company into a scalable asset that can run without you. That's a business you'll love owning (and other people will too). In fact, that's a business you can even sell when you're ready.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"You must fall in love with your business again, if you want to grow it," writes leadership coach King in this mostly helpful collection of tricks for burnt-out business owners. Rethinking one's relationship with one's business, she posits, requires reevaluating one's relationship with oneself. The author's process for doing so involves lots of self-help tasks, among them doing "daily thought downloads" or jotting down one's thoughts first thing in the morning, writing down what's creating career-related feelings of discontent ("I'm tired of worrying about money," or "I can't count on my employees"), and cutting back on overworking/overmanaging by putting tasks into "three buckets": "things you don't like to do and aren't good at doing," "things you're good at but someone else could do," and "things you're great at and no one else can do." While King's tools are straightforward, there are times when the strategies feel oversimplified and don't take fully into account external factors: she suggests that the only thing standing between potential and performance, for example, is "thoughts, feelings, and actions." But on balance, there's enough actionable advice to justify the price of admission. Business owners feeling near the end of their rope may want to take a look. (Self-published)
