115: #115 How To Choose Your 'Hard'

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2025/01/23

Why are some habits easier to change than others? When I decided to quit smoking and drinking, it was a doddle but committing to daily physical exercise? Not so much... It got me thinking about how everybody has their strengths and their weaknesses and so maybe the way to navigate our daily challenges - whether in our personal or business lives - is about knowing where your strengths/weaknesses lie. Once we have that self-awareness, we can then set realistic and manageable goals that align with

114: #114 Why Your 'Why' Matters So Much

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2025/01/16

The 'why' to your business matters. It's a huge driver and motivator, especially when things are more challenging. The 'why' serves as your solid foundation that supports you through every season in your entrepreneurial career - so that you don't drive yourself crazy with questioning the business or yourself! Once you work out what your 'why' is everything else becomes more manageable. It's easier to say no to things that don't align and yes to the stuff that does - and what could be more

Happiness is what makes the world a better place and the world wants more of your happiness, more of your joy, and more of you spreading your light and love. So, when it comes to balancing your work/life routine, it's important to set the boundaries and structures to ensure your wellbeing and happiness is the focus.

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2025/01/02

Dreaming big is fun, right? People tell us to 'dream big' - and I'm not going to say you shouldn't - but have you truly considered the 'why' behind it? Establishing goals should start with: "what it is that I really, really want and why?", and then break that down. Get to the heart of why you want to achieve it, and if you can’t answer why, it’s probably not the right goal for you. Remember, when it comes to setting goals for yourself, it's important to recognise where you are now, because

Social media can be a powerful tool for your business growth, but it’s so important to understand the "why" behind your online presence.

Imagine if you never said no to anything... I don't know about you, but I'd be utterly exhausted! Yet, it's all too easy to berate ourselves and feel guilty when it comes to sticking to boundaries. You owe it to yourself and to anybody that you want to spend time with to have boundaries and to say no when something doesn't work for you - and we need to realise that it's okay to change our minds! Because every time you say no to something it has an incredible positive impact it has on your diary,

It's easy to fall into the trap of needing to be 'perfect'. We compare ourselves, we push ourselves, we lose ourselves all in the pursuit to prove... what exactly? The truth is: we are never, ever going to achieve perfection in anything that we do.Perfectionism stunts you because you put measures, barriers, and blocks in place that just don't need to exist.

When I think back on my first five years in business, I remember so many times where I felt unbelievably overwhelmed. While entrepreneurship can be rewarding, it can also be a pretty lonely experience; especially when juggling all the pressure and stress by yourself.

Social media has this annoyingly loud voice that tries to convince us that we should chase after external markers like wealth and social media followers to define success; but why?! What about our own personal fulfillment and happiness; does that not matter? Or how about financial freedom or the luxury of time to live your life how YOU want to.
