The True Bottom Line
In Michael Port's book "Beyond Booked Solid", he talks about boosting your income
, streamlining processes, and up-leveling your business. But one statement he made summed it up perfectly. "The real bottom line is your life." Everything you do in your life is done in support of that. How you show up, how much you enjoy, and the relationships you have.
While this isn't news to my way of thinking, what struck me about it was how effortlessly it flowed into the conversation of what is clearly a business book. I have read many of his books and attended his speaking engagements. He lives what he preaches and has a wildly successful business yet he never seems harried, stressed, or out of alignment. He shares what he knows in a relaxed and joyful manner.
I always LOVE to see successful folks who truly "get it". We live a multi-faceted life and the real bottom line is how much we give, receive, and enjoy the journey. Whenever I hit speed bumps in my business it always pays dividends to take a step back and look thoughtfully at the bottom line. Sure I look at the financial bottom line...I am a big fan of cash flow and have a BS in accounting. I could stare at and count my beans all day long (thankfully I don't!). Yet I know whether business is going well or going slowly, how I feel rarely has anything to do with dollars, cents, clients, or life conditions. It has to do with how well I am doing with being and living in a way that aligns with who I am and what I most desire -- my ability to feel fulfilled, at peace, and joyful are at my disposal with the flick of a choice. If I'm on track with my relationship with myself and my choices - life is always good (even during the rough patches). If I'm not, life can be great on the inside, but it doesn't matter.
Now is the perfect time to re-assess those dreams, goals, and plans you were so excited about on New Years Day. Are you on track? How are you feeling right now? How are you doing with respect to the real bottom line? Feeling good about it or not so much?
I invite you to take a few moments and truly ask yourself these questions. I am right beside you supporting you...right now as we connect.
