Saturday was a right off.
Having worked with dogged determination and unwavering energy over the past 6 weeks I'd finally run down my energy resources so I hit the bottom and struggled getting up.
I own the belief that emanates from my core to start SHE Business, it's a belief that drives relentless energy, provides leadership for my team and has me step out of my comfort zone every single day but on Friday I tripped!
I had a meltdown over the SHE Business logo and website. I found myself caught between striving for the truest representation of my vision for the brand and a tacit acceptance of mediocre. This dilemma, of course is not a problem in itself, it is the scourge of other ugly ramifications that are so draining. As a 'start up' I work to tight deadlines and on tight budgets so with 2 such visual business pillars looking 'weak' I just wanted to run away.
So on Saturday I took the day off (the first in a few months) and looked at my options; I was exhausted and ; wanted an easy life. I played with the picture of me as a corporate maverick, a lady of leisure, a part-timer; they all looked enticing compared to dealing with my business problems. I read the newspapers, moved from sofa to bed, watched TV and generally moped around. I let the belief go, the leadership fall away and provided space for my energy and enthusiasm to return.
On Sunday I woke with fresh eyes, what had looked like such a huge problem on Friday & Saturday suddenly looked like an uncomfortable glitch requiring my leadership, belief and energy to resolve.
So here I am on Monday itching for my team to make it to the office, for my suppliers to answer my calls and I'm reminded what a crazy, roller coaster ride, business is. Most days I'm loving the ride of my life but there will always be the few when I want to jump off.
Exhaustion can do that to you.
