It’s hard to deny that the changing circumstances can compel you to throw yourself into your business to ensure it survives, even at the expense of your well-being.

Coping with a very high amount of pressure by opting for quick solutions like medication, caffeine, nicotine or sugar to get the job done only works short-term. Consider the long-term impact of these substances on your body and mind.

It takes a LOT of work to develop the ability to respond to challenges and unpleasant situations from a place that’s aligned to your well-being.

Quick fixes may work for a while, but they lead to more feelings of dissatisfaction in the long run if the root cause of the problem isn’t addressed.

When the job becomes your life, work problems can feel larger than they are. As a result, you’re averse to spending time doing anything that’s not connected to your job.

In such cases, it’s all too inconceivable to look through the monotony and drudgery that has engulfed all areas of life and start to create goals that are more suited to your needs.

It takes courage to prioritise yourself over the thing that sustains you. Yet that’s the only way to introduce positivity into your life quickly.

Given all the responsibility you already have, making time for your most important goals without a systemised plan is almost impossible.

Building a life of purpose outside of work is a process. It’s not easy to manage by yourself.

Without support and guidance, taking the initial steps needed to identify where the disconnect or gap is and then taking actionable steps to move forward might be overwhelming.

Most coaches can open up ways to quickly mitigate the trepidation that comes with a poor work-life balance and give you the motivation to make a change initially…

…However, the key is to delve into the habitual states in the mind, brain and body that stop you from turning your obstacles into triumphs.

Relying on cookie-cutter solutions will not guarantee your long-term happiness. You need and deserve a bespoke solution.

To begin with, we’ll focus on bringing you to a state of self-discovery through a gap analysis. I’ll be using a question-intensive style to help you identify what areas need attention in your professional life and unearth the blueprint to move forward.

That gap analysis will then be interlinked to our first section where the focus will fall on what’s happening within your body and mind. We’ll be identifying the internal triggers that precede certain behaviours to cultivate an internal awareness of why you’re doing what you do and exploring that using your value and belief systems. This stage ties back to the beliefs that were identified in the gap analysis to focus on your thinking and giving yourself time to relax.

In our second section, we look at why you need to change and why having goals that give life direction matter. This phase will focus on thinking about your legacy and how you’re going to make the experience you have on this planet for a limited amount of time matter. Looking at refining certain aspects, we explore why language matters so it’s clear how what you say to yourself, what you say to others and how what others say about you influences how you think, feel and react. By asking why you’re needed and what you need, you get to answer an important question seriously – what are you waiting for?

This section is about recognising the power of self and answering fundamental questions such as what can you offer? Who you can become? And how does the ideal you look? This serves to help us identify who needs you, and equally, who you need to meet your inner needs and desires. Then, we identify your empowering motivation and how to tap into that potential by creating a blueprint for change.

Finally, in our last section, we look at implementation and commitment to your future self through practical problem-solving. It’ll be beneficial for us to reverse engineer any outstanding problems to a state of solution by identifying the steps that need to be taken to get there and who in your circle of influence can help. Sharing your own skills and those of others around you will be the key to making meaningful strides in the right direction.
