EPISODE 108 – Fun, value & money: Find what feels good

Set an intention that you’ll find what feels good in your business this year, and do more of that.

There’s a ton of things we HAVE to do, like crunching the numbers, doing our taxes and generally being a responsible business owner.

But if that doesn’t light your fire – I confess its a bit of a snore fest for me too! – make sure you’re finding what DOES feel good to offset that.

Let this quick tip episode be the nudge you need to prioritise the good stuff all year long.

TRANSCRIPT

Hey there, and welcome back to the Fun Business Fun Money podcast! I’m your host, Deirdre Amies.
 
Got a quick one for you today, as all of these ones that come out on Thursdays my time are always intended to be. They don’t always turn out quick in terms of time, but its always something quick to implement, to understand or help you shift your perspective about something.
 
Thats different to the episodes that come out on Tuesdays my time, which are generally longer and more in depth coaching type episodes. 
 
 

A new habit for a new year

For the past couple of years I’ve kicked off the new year with 30 days of yoga. I follow Yoga with Adriene on YouTube and I make the commitment to do each day’s new yoga practice. 
 
Its become a great habit to get into, and I’m very proud to say I even managed to continue it on for an entire 12 months through 2021.
 
Its such a great way to move your body, stretch out those tight muscles when you’re otherwise tied to your laptop.
 
That’s often me, I get a creative streak and all the words are flowing, I’m mapping out courses, recording, talking to clients, doing stuff on social media, all the things.
 
If it wasn’t for my Apple Watch tapping my wrist and reminding me to get up and move around every hour, I wouldn’t stand up all that often!
 
 

Love a creative streak? Tell me about it!

That’s what its like for me when I’m in the flow. How about you? Do you get those creative streaks as well? I’d love to hear about it!
 
Send me a DM, I’m @funbusinesfunmoney, all one word, on Facebook and Instagram. And I’m Deirdre Amies over on LinkedIn, lets get connected!
 
 

Find what feels good

What I wanted to share with you today was inspired by the Yoga with Adriene’s catchphrase, “Find what feels good”.
 
Set an intention that you’ll find what feels good in your business this year, and do more of that.
 
There’s a ton of things we HAVE to do, like crunching the numbers, doing our taxes and generally being a responsible business owner.
 
But if that doesn’t light your fire – I confess its a bit of a snore fest for me too! – make sure you’re finding what DOES feel good to offset that.
 
 

What do you LOVE doing so much that you could get lost in it for hours?

 
That’s your zone of genius. If you’re familiar with Gay Hendricks’ book The Big Leap you’ll know exactly what that is, but in a nutshell its something you’re highly skilled at, you can do it with your eyes closed and it makes you super happy when you ARE doing it.
 

Thats something worth spending more time and energy on in 2024. 

 
That thing may not always be something that makes you money… but it COULD be!
 
Find that sweet spot where you’re doing what you love, its super fun. You’re making money doing it, and hopefully its profitable as well. And you’re also adding value for yourself and your clients.
 
For me thats writing, and talking to people. I love helping people solve their challenges around business and money using simple systems, making sense of all the messy stuff and adding a dash of personality and fun to it all. 
 
What is that thing for you? Find what feels good in your business, and do more of that.
