TOP BUSINESS TIPS FOR WOMEN CEO’S TO KEEP THEIR SANITY

My  top business tips for women CEO’s to keep their sanity

1. There is no such thing as Work/Life Balance so stop clicking your heels Dorothy! Pick the things that are most important to you and build your business around the life you want to live. So instead of seeking balance, work towards alignment. That requires you to do some deep soul searching work of being radically honest with yourself and setting boundaries. If you are truly living your passion you will have no need for work life balance because you will be able to align everything in your life. But that means you have to choose!

2. Always think about scaling your business. Women are starting businesses more then ever before, especially Black women, but a large amount never move to a point where they produce payroll/hire employees. Whether you want to eventually sell your business or keep it in your family for generations build it as if you were going to sell it. Simply put, make sure you are putting proper processes in place from day 1 to scale.

3. Pick the price you are willing to pay for success, and if it ever gets more expensive then the price you set Get Out! I heard that quote from Dave Chapelle and it was life changing. If the sacrifice of losing friends, or losing money and sleep to follow your dream becomes too big that it threatens your health that’s when you know its time to get out. Figure out that line that you are not willing to cross to achieve YOUR version of success.

4. Delegate more! In order to grow more strategically this is a must! Yes, stop holding on to everything and know when you need help, ask for it and most importantly RECEIVE it when it's being offered. 

5. Focus not so much on building a big company (at least at the moment) but building a great company that focuses on your people, the community and of course profits. For women entrepreneurs adding Self, is equally important. We need to be a little more selfish (For our sanity).
