Fatigue is robbing founders, especially founders of color from the opportunity to build long-standing, legacy businesses. And two large contributing factors to that fatigue is building a personal brand as a marketing strategy and lack of capital to build a team and scale a company. To ignore the impact that these two things are having on the mental health of founders is ignorant at best and negligent at worst. This episode is bringing to light a conversation that has been had many times in private and should be had in public so that the entrepreniral ecosystem can support founders properly.   Original Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs1Mxqku5hl/ Connect: @emmeliedelacruz info@onedaycmo.com

When we outsource marketing, it's often to hand over daily execution and get some things off our plates. You want to grow your business, and have tried hiring social media managers and virtual assistants. But you aren’t seeing the results you anticipated. You’re disappointed by their performance, and they're doing things you never intended for them to do, or worst of all, they're not doing anything at all. What could possibly be going on? Well. I'm here to explain why and what to do about it.

“To surrender is to stop resisting an enemy or opponent and to submit to authority.  To surrender is to let go, not to be out of control. To surrender is to let things happen for you and not to you.”   There’s always a reason why things are happening. That’s why you need to learn to surrender. The more anxious that you get,  it is harder to hold and experience all of life's goodness.  If you're constantly in a state of lack, if you're constantly in a state of chaos, you will never feel peace.   If you're constantly in a state of burnout, and you keep on trying to calculate and plan and strategize all of the little moves in your life, then every single decision will always come with a very heavyweight. I encourage you to stop trying to direct your life and instead follow a series of perfectly fortunate events. I want to leave these three things that you can think about as you start to accept and go with the flow and surrender to the things that are happening for you and not to you. The first thing is for you to really find peace for yourself, to slow down, to quiet your mind, to understand what you really want and why you really want those things.  And then to see how serendipitous life is and see how life starts to kind of leave you little breadcrumbs to get you to your final destination. The next thing I want you to consider is how you can live in the present moment. So live moment to moment and day today. Instead of constantly living in the future or living in the past. By trying to control the present, by avoiding the past and constantly thinking about the future, you don't actually get to participate in it. You don't actually get to enjoy it. You don't actually get to be present because you’re constantly living in another reality. You’re constantly living in another state of time. The only time that we have, the only time that we can live, is the present. And you rob yourself of the opportunity when you choose to live in the future or the past. The last thing to do in terms of surrender is to stop trying to constantly protect yourself and instead consider saying yes. When we are constantly in a state of chaos and when we're constantly in a state of protecting ourselves, we end up shutting things, people, and opportunities that are assigned to us. What if you said yes? What would happen if you said yes? What kind of life would you live? I hope that this episode resonates with you. That you are able to live in the present moment. That you're able to say yes more. That you're able to really understand what is happening for you and not to you and choose to live a life that feels good because you deserve it.

Our guest and my good friend, Fallon Rice Scott left Corporate America and her job as a CPA for a Fortune 100 company and pivoted to direct sales and network marketing. After rising to the top of her company within 2 years, she then pivoted to creating her own agency.   A  CPA. A visionary. An advocate of freedom and sustainability.    She embraced uncertainty and vulnerability to survive and be on top of her game.

We dive into the changes she had to make mentally and spiritually in order to navigate the shame that can be associated with debt, the MLM industry, and then transitioning to traditional entrepreneurship.    “God knows where you need to be. God knows what you need before you need it. God burst so much purpose out of pain it pushed me to this super uncomfortable place that he was able to use.

When was the last time that you were truly happy? When was the last time that you felt like you could breathe? When was the last time that you felt at peace?

Every single business is not going to be staffed the same. Not every marketing strategy is one size fits all. Oftentimes you get so worked up about who you need to hire, but you don't actually spend time thinking about what it is that you need to get done.  Have you made space to come face to face with the gap that exists in your business?  What do you need to outsource and delegate?  What’s your workflow?  You believe that you need more bandwidth, more people, and more time to scale. You are operating from a place of chaos and what I want for you is to operate from a place of clarity. I hope this episode does that for you.    *Shameless Plug:  I would love for you to join me in my Promoted To CEO coaching program.

What is it that is stopping you from being able to delegate an outsource? Is that the documentation? Is it not having KPIs? Or is it you not actually being clear on your vision, because you haven't been able to slow down to actually think? If delegating your marketing, outsourcing content creation, social media, emails, ads, all of those things don't allow you to operate as a CEO, then his episode is for you. Move forward into 2022 without being stressed, without being overworked or being confused, and most importantly, without wasting our money on the wrong hires or ineffective boards.

Isolation will have you thinking that you could do anything. The biggest breakthroughs in life are through isolation because it gives you time to get clear on what it is that you want, what is your desire, and really set a plan. Be tenacious to figure out what can work for you. When you truly start to look at yourself, work on yourself, and identify the things that are stopping you from becoming the person that you wanted to be, then every little thing will start to shift and be aligned with who truly you are. Create that self-awareness to heal so that you can show up in your full truth and light. Know that everything is a constant work in progress. There’s no such thing as perfection just like how life in social media conceives. When we constantly mature, become intentional to what we want and what we do, things will eventually unfold. Take the courage to take the action to do things. Listen to Ada Rojas, a successful soul-led serial entrepreneur who broke the barriers of having no formal training or coaching in entrepreneurship.

How to plan for the new year in a way that feels intentional, and how to develop a system to make better decisions. Decisions that are based on what you want out of a situation and not just because of the situation that you are in. Designing a life that you’re proud of, a life that aligns with your values.  When you're aligned, you attract the life you've always wanted by becoming the person that you've always needed to be. Ask yourself. What do you want your life to look like? What do you actually want to be experiencing emotionally? What do you want to be feeling like day to day? How do you want to wake up? How do you want to go to bed? What do you want work to feel like? What do you want relationships to feel like?

You’re not burnt out, you’re unfulfilled.  If you are feeling burnt out, there is probably a mismatch between your work environment, your desires, and your expectations. This can be as an employee or an entrepreneur.  Your burnout is rooted in resistance because you’re holding on to things that you don’t want to carry and might not be consciously aware of it. You’re doing things that drain your energy and you’re not prioritizing what you want. You’re exhausted because you’re fighting yourself everyday and projecting that onto other things. In this episode, we are going to dive into 5 factors that contribute to burnout and help you assess where you are.    CONNECT WITH US Social Media: Instagram.com/SanityandSuccess  Social Media: Instagram.com/EmmelieDeLaCruz Share the episode using: #SanityandSuccess   APPLY TO WORK WITH EMMELIE OneDayCMO.com/services
