What do you do to stay positive and enthusiastic in tough times? How do you keep your enthusiasm alive when you’re not hitting your business goals as quickly as you’d like to?

For example, what happens to your mood when you’ve lost your biggest client or even when trying all the new marketing strategies, and nothing seems to be sticking?

Running a business can be challenging. This episode focuses on staying positive in tough times and keeping your business enthusiasm alive.

We share practical strategies to help you stay inspired and motivated, regardless of obstacles.

Mindset and Attitude: Cultivating Positivity
A positive mindset and attitude are powerful tools for staying motivated during tough times. Practising gratitude, reframing negative thoughts, and surrounding yourself with positive influences can help you maintain a positive outlook, find creative solutions to challenges, and inspire others around you.

Self-Care and Stress Management: Nurturing Yourself
Prioritising self-care and finding healthy ways to cope with stress is essential for managing the challenges of running a business. Investing in yourself, your network, and your education, as well as establishing personal routines and morning rituals for self-mastery, can help you stay balanced, focused, and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.

Adaptability and Resilience: Embracing Change
Learning from setbacks and staying flexible in the face of change are crucial skills for any business owner. You can innovate and improve your business by staying adaptable and resilient, ensuring it thrives even during tough times.

Connection and Support: Building a Strong Network
Building connections with other business owners and finding support is essential to maintaining enthusiasm for your business. Seeking out a mentor, joining a peer accountability group, and connecting through networking events and brainstorming sessions can help you stay motivated, inspired, and supported.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
