Meet Jane, My Reminder Friend

It’s Monday again, and I’ll admit it’s been a tough one. I’m super tired from my husband being sick, and my motivation just isn’t there. I feel like most of the morning was spent in a haze, not sure why I’m doing what I’m doing. I had no focus on my direction, and that can be frustrating for a self-employed individual.

Have you ever been there? I’m sure you have at least once. It can be tough to figure out what the next step is, and where to draw motivation from.

My motivation happened to come in the form of a reminder why I started AK Lean Virtual Assistance. I wanted to help business owners and entrepreneurs find their way out of frustrating administrative work, and help them to be able to work ON their business, not in it.

I created this video last week to be posted on social media. I scheduled to post it, and it posted on Facebook and Twitter. What did I do then… I promptly filed it away and forgot about it.

While I was checking Facebook for customer comments, I stumbled across it again. Seeing as I had zero motivation to do anything today, I let it play. I’ll tell you - that was a minute well spent!

It reminded me that my goals and aspirations are bigger than me. It reminded me that, as a business owner, you’ll have moments where you don’t want to continue or just can’t find the motivation to do anything that day.

And you know what, it’s ok! It’s ok to have those kinds of days. If you didn’t have “no motivation” days, then you wouldn’t know what it feels like when you have super hustle days. You need the slow to balance out the fast, just like you need the bad to know what the good feels like.

So, without further hesitation… Meet Jane, my Motivational Monday!
