ELEVATE Your Small Business with Libby Knight

Many different obstacles can get in the way of our personal productivity. We can overcome many of these challenges by finding techniques to solve the problem, and don’t need to look back. But there are some obstacles that are not so easy to overcome. Like a chronic illness.

Today I’m talking to Sarah Berthon. Sarah is a business and chronic illness mentor. Why? Because Sarah herself suffers from a number of chronic health conditions. So she understands first hand that those living and working with a chronic illness have additional challenges. She’s dedicated herself to supporting businesses where chronic illness has an impact.

Self-care is more important than ever for those living with chronic illness. And So today’s conversation is all about the importance of selfcare for business owners.
You'll find lots of useful advice in this episode that applies not only to business owners with a chronic illness but will help us all to show self compassion as we build our own beautiful business.

When we start our entrepreneurial adventure, we have a clear vision of what we want to do. Of how we see our future business. We’re driven and full of optimism and purpose. It’s a new and exciting chapter.

There is a lot to build and plan and through those initial years of business ownership we can become overwhelmed and procrastinate. We may lose focus and direction as we try to navigate the ups and downs. It’s not unusual and completely understandable, building and growing a business is not always straight forward. It’s no wonder that that initial clarity can change into a loss of direction and uncertainty.

So how do we regain clarity so that we can get back on track and see our business thrive?
That’s what we’re talking about today, and my special guest Nic Pendregaust is here to help us unravel this complex issue. Nic is a qualified hypnotherapist and counsellor with an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Together we explore why we sometimes veer off course and lose focus on our big vision, how to recognise the signs, like perfectionism and comparisonitis, and what we can do to help ourselves to get back on track.

She has spent her time as a journalist telling other people’s stories and now she teaches soul-led entrepreneurs how to use aligned content marketing to promote their business. Her soul’s calling is to help people connect back to nature and themselves to share their innate wisdom with the world.

Who doesn’t get imposter syndrome?
Most of us do. And that’s ok.
But wouldn’t it be great to manage it when it shows up? To have ways of redirecting our attention and change that self-deprecating inner monologue.
To bring the anxiety down so that we can overcome and succeed in spite of it.
To stop it from putting the brakes on our productivity,
In this episode I'm speaking with Celia Griver, who uses cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnosis and mindfulness, to helps her clients by making it as easy as possible for them to achieve their goals. Imposter Syndrome is a common issue for many of the people she see's and so Celia shares a wealth of insightful advice on how to recognise and address our own Imposter Syndrome when it rears it's ugly head.

Stress, anxiety, sleepless nights. All factors that can affect our productivity.
So are you ready to feel empowered by embracing ways to care for yourself? Holistic therapies could be the answer. In this episode of the Productivity for Profit Podcast I talk to Sarah Howard, Aromatherapy, massage and EFT practitioner specialising in techniques to relieve stress.
Join us as we explore how you can use complementary therapies to maintain a sense of wellbeing. Taking time for yourself is not purely a luxury, it can be the difference between being happily productive or being overwhelmed, stressed and procrastinating.
During the podcast Sarah takes us through a beautiful breathing exercise and visualisation. To return to this practice at any time I have provided the recording here:
