Forced to Shut Down my Business- WHY?
What the f*!#@ is this?
When I received a cease and desist notice for my business in April I was in shock, denial, state of disbelief and felt numb!
Wait, what? I had to re-read what I had just received like 100 times! So many questions rolled through my mind. BUT, at the same timeI was secretly relieved. Not relieved that I received a legal notice, but relieved that I was forced to take a pause.
Why would I be relieved that I was forced to stop my business? To be honest, I was burnt out! I did EVERYTHING you shouldn’t do, but you think you should, in running your own business. I was working way too much, 7 days a week, even when on vacation, with a newborn and a toddler, saying yes to everything and everyone, spreading myself way too thin!!!!
I lost control of myself, my family, and my business. I was letting my business run me and it was sucking the joy out of everything in life.
I felt stuck, overwhelmed, everything was spinning out of control, and I felt like I was becoming depressed (again). I know depression all too well and I did not want to go back down that road! I gave myself 2 weeks to do NOTHING! After those two weeks new emotions started to arise (more on that later). I gave myself some grace and picked myself back up. I knew the ONE thing that made me feel good was working out (I’m not just saying this because it’s my business), it really does make me feel on top of the freakin’ world!!! So, I got right back into my routine and once I did, I knew this is where I needed to be!
I say this in my live workouts all the time, “When life gets tough, give yourself some grace and then pick right back up where you left off. That’s consistency, that’s #beastmode!” Here I am LIVING my OWN WORDS! Living them in my workouts, in my business and in my life!
