5 Reasons Why Self-Care Matters When it Comes to Business Success

Too focused on what’s ahead and what you need to achieve and forgotten about yourself? We need to stop thinking of self-care as a luxury when it is actually a necessity. Remember that you are your greatest asset and if you want success in your career, then you need to make caring for yourself a priority.
Greater self-awareness and attention to your body will translate into awareness into the work that you do. People will gravitate towards you because you will feel great each day and the success will soon follow.
Here are five reasons why self-care matters when it comes to your professional success:
1. You will build self-trust
Self-care will help you have more faith in yourself and what you are doing. This is because taking control of your personal care means taking responsibility for your life. You aren’t waiting for another person to do it for you and you’re giving yourself what you require to feel the best you can. Start by addressing what it is you need to feel good.
The best part about establishing self-trust is that this will benefit everyone around you and create a positive work environment. Yes, the one you always dreamed of having while you were in your previous, toxic workplace.
“Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
2. You will avoid burnout
Stress related disorders, heart attacks and hair falling out. If you’re working 60 hours a week, going to back to back meetings and answering tons of emails then you’re going to burnout.
When you are so motivated about work and what you are doing, it can often feel difficult to take time away from projects. Failing to take time out for yourself will put you at risk of burning out. This can take you months to recover from and ultimately set you back in what you are trying to achieve.
3. You will adopt an abundance mindset
If you are thinking mentally outward, then there is always the feeling that you don’t have enough. Some people feel that success is in the future and in this moment you never have enough.
The truth is that you have more than enough because you are following your dreams and taking brave risks. Self-care will give you the downtime you deserve to think about your goals and also celebrate your wins along the way.
Taking the time to do things you love will make you feel abundance. It will also inspire you with new ideas that will propel the next phases of your business and career.
“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” – Wayne Dyer
4. You will learn that self-care is free (and save money)
Going to bed early is free. Giving yourself 10 minutes of meditation in the morning is also free. Self-care doesn’t have to be getting an expensive massage. Even making yourself a nutritious meal or walking to work in the morning will help save you money.
Just a little bit of self-care can save you a lot financially. For example, if you exercise or meditate then you will be more mentally focused. This will then help you avoid costly mistakes and also awkward situations with clients.
Also, modelling self-care behaviour to your employees will become cost-savings for long-term medical expenses for you and your staff.
5. You will give off positive energy
When you’re at your best and really thriving you become an amazing salesperson. If you take good care of yourself then you will give off positive energy that is attractive to potential clients and partners.
People will want to work with you because you are thriving and calm. People don’t like working with those who are overly stressed or organised and hesitant to associate with negative energy. If you’re radiating success, then your employees, potential clients and vendors will also feel the same.
Start taking better care of yourself today with new habits
Here are a few tips to help you start incorporating self-care into your daily routine. Self-care begins with forming tiny habits. You need to find a trigger which is the right time in your schedule. For example, if you want to practice deep breathing then your trigger might be moments in the day when you are feeling anxious (before an important meeting or while you are stuck in traffic).
Start by incorporating the following into your day to day routine:
- Remember you are your most important resource.
- Create healthy goals and boundaries.
- Start practicing yoga.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat often.
- Stretch throughout the day.
- Get a good night’s sleep. Try to get eight hours a night.
- Pamper yourself. Get a pedicure, massage or take yourself to a spa.
- Practice regular meditation or journaling to organise your mind.
- Have healthy boundaries and know when to say no.

How Your Beliefs Can Supercharge or Sabotage Your Success
Your life is dictated by beliefs and biases that drive your thinking, behaviors, and decisions

Pause for a moment and ponder two pandemic-era beliefs: First, closing schools will control the spread of a serious virus. Second, the consequences of such school closures—particularly social interruption and the prevention of immunity—are worse than becoming sick with the virus. (more…)

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.
I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.
I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.
As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.
I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.
Everything legal must come through the matrix
I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.
The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.
Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.
The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.
Every matrix has an incubation process
While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.
In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.
What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.
However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.
Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time
When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.
The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?
First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.
In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.
For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.
For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.
Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.
You must manifest your greatness
As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.
I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.
Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.
When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
