Deciding for the Win!

“We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.” – Mitch Albom, best-selling author, journalist, and screenwriter

High achievers want results. We want proof we did the thing “right,” the best, or first. We are often competitive and disciplined, but we also tend to complicate things and put undue pressure on ourselves.

You pride yourself on solving problems in your business on your own. It feels like you’re being self-sufficient and independent, but you don’t know what you don’t know. How do you know you’re not making a terrible mistake?

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

Think back to your most important business decision – whether it was deciding to do something or deciding not to do the thing. What did you feel in that moment and what do you feel about your decision today? Any regrets?

Here’s the Twist . . .

I can’t say I have no regrets, but I can say that every decision – good or bad – led me to who and where I am today. I imagine you would say something similar.

That’s the watchword of the business owner: experimentation. Sometimes we get it ‘right’ and sometimes, we don’t. But being equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to make that good decision gives you a tremendous advantage.

• What is your biggest struggle with delegating to your staff?
• What is the best mistake you ever made? How did that ‘mistake’ alter your path forward?
• How would you handle an offer for your company if it showed up today?

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

In my experience, women don't retire; they transition into a new stage of purpose and impact. Whether you are 40 or 60, the idea of retirement may not appeal to you. Just because you can retire doesn’t mean you’ll want to.

Are you ready to heal from your perceived failures and move boldly forward?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.
