Signs that you need an interview with your own HR.
Creating and running a business can be an exhilarating and rewarding journey, but it can also be overwhelming and demanding. As an aspiring entrepreneur, you feel a pull to pour your heart and soul into this exciting new adventure! You feel prepared to put in long hours and without even really realizing it, bit by bit you are sacrificing your personal time and your self-care to create and grow your business and make your dream come true.
I know the story! As a highly sensitive, and creative person, my eagerness and passion turned into exhaustion and demotivation. And I didn’t know who to turn to. The end of the story is; I went back to being employed, and then the process began anew.
Having strong highly sensitive traits combined with strong Aries characteristics, I always knew that I was much better suited for solopreneurship. The question for me was how do I continuously optimize myself for my business, and stay mentally and physically healthy in the process.
My solution was to do the work on myself, for myself. The first thing was getting to know me better and understand me in my present situation and time and space in my life. This included some deep dives into challenging territories of the past to come out at the other end with more understanding of the areas of myself I wanted to work on.
Here are some questions I asked myself on the topic of „How do I use myself in my business?“
As solopreneurs, we are a one-person show with different roles.
So, suppose you were in an Organisation and went to your HR department with the topic of you feeling overworked and underpaid; how would you like HR to support you? As a solopreneur, you can, and should do the same thing. You (the CEO) make an appointment with yourself (HR department) and bring to the table the topics in relation to "self-use" that would be helpful for you.
For example, are you working from home or remote and begin checking e-mails in bed and then find yourself still in your office at your computer after midnight?
With access to your phone and computer anywhere and everywhere in your home, what ideas could you come up with, to stop working in your office from 7 am to after midnight each day?
„HR“ could ask you:
What would you like to be different?
What could this look like?
What would be your first step(s)?
Challenges like these are the kind of conversations that we talk about in our coaching sessions at Creative Space. Our aim with Solution-Focused Coaching is to support you in finding your personal way and your own tailor-made solution that fits you, and the person you are, and brings you to where and how you want to be. And we stick around to support you in the process of actually creating this desired change.
