Business is a Marathon
“People love the idea [of online business], the initial first steps, the dream, and the plan. Then, you have a hard day and you don’t want to spend an extra two hours [writing a blog post] and yet this is the work that is essential to have a successful business.”
Preparing for a marathon is all fun and games but as soon as you have to start training when you aren’t motivated, it can feel like a tedious chore.
In this episode of And She Spoke, we compare launching an online business to running a marathon to help you prepare for success!
Tune in and learn about all the different phases of running a marathon, how that relates to business, and why preparing and staying disciplined is imperative.
We break down what causes women to feel overwhelmed and why you need to maintain perspective in the work that you do.
We even discuss how you can reframe your mindset to create the reality you want for yourself before delving into the most important aspects of creating a sustainable business.
Finally, we encourage you to reach for your dreams through entrepreneurship.
Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:
Online business as non-linear and why it can be difficult to see it as a whole.
Preparing for the process rather than imagining the end result.
Why investment in your online business is necessary.
