My good friend Alicia Dunams joined me yesterday for a special Stress Busting Spring Cleaning Session for her biz.

I wasn’t planning to offer this as a product, I was simply going to shoot a video and have it be an example of organizing your business.

And then Alicia showed up with a lot of stress on her plate and we dove into a clean up session.

When we were finished, she pointed out that people can’t do this work without the help of a coach or mentor because they are in the thick of it and they can’t see outside of the fog.  When business owners are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, they need to take a step back and look at their business and life as a whole to see where the gaps are.

In this video, you will see me going through this process with Alicia and what ended up coming of it (after an hour and a half of teaching and coaching) was clarity about her vision and the action  steps that she should be taking on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to move her business forward.

There are all sorts of distractions out there (social media being a big one) that can take business owners away from the systems in their businesses and add to the stress of not being on track.  If you are one of those entrepreneurs who is feeling out of whack and off track… give me a ring (415.614.0192) or send me an email. I’d love to help you get sorted out!  I am only going to offer this service to 25 business owners over the next month, so if you know that this is something that you need, hop on it!

However, if you want to go ahead and see if you can sort this stuff out by yourself first, have at it!

Start by creating a list of your top 5 values, personal goals and family goals.

Then, write down the three identifying factors of your ideal client, their biggest pain, your solution and all of the business systems that will help you provide the best service to your clients.  When you are done, look at all of the systems and your vision and goals and make sure that they are in alignment and that they are all fully functioning.  Look for areas where you are having trouble and see if there are ways that you can provide better service, more follow up, greater team management or more support for your vision.

When we take the time to look at our ultimate vision and see how our business and choices either compliment each other or distract us from our purpose, we can make adjustments that will help us stay on target to living our dreams. Without having a clear idea of the big picture, our stress will overwhelm us.  But when we have clarity of purpose, we can enjoy our work, help others and manifest the vision that lies within.

Are you looking for exposure for your business and validation for your efforts? I want to show the world all of the wonderful things we mompreneurs are doing while we raise our children. By creating a documentary that exposes the reality of the mompreneur, my goal is to elevate all of our businesses and potentially inspire millions of dreamers to take action!

By building momentum with a Twitter campaign, we can bring the focus to our supportive and powerful community. Follow me @MamaBritt to get started, then spread the word to all of your other mompreneur friends. The more moms we get involved, the more our voices and businesses will be heard. I am taking screen shots of many of the tweets to be included in the film, so tweet away, girls!

Once you have tweeted about the project, make sure to send me your reels so you can be considered for the film (and at the very least included in the credits)!
