There are so many reasons why individuals choose to leave the comfort of a cushy corporate job to start something of their own. Often times, especially as women, we choose the ‘Ladypreneur’ lifestyle to find more fulfilling work, follow our true passions, and create a life that has a ton more flexibility.
We seek to create something with meaning, exploring entrepreneurship as a way to build a happier life. While many individuals do find it more fulfilling to run their own business, there are also several challenges. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to really reach your goals of success and carve out that life you desire.
During the growth stages of your business there can be a lot of disappointment and it requires constant hard work to take you to that next level, and then the next. Thankfully there are several ways you can ensure that the hard work and time dedication doesn’t have detrimental effects on your personal relationships or your own joy.
Here are 3 Secrets to Being a Happy Ladypreneur:
1. Create Your Ideal Environment
Stepping out into entrepreneurship opens up one amazing opportunity: You’re the boss! This is your chance to forge your own career, including your rules, your hours, and your ideal work environment. So take care to construct an environment that’s going to work best for you to create the perfect work-life balance.
Remember, it is the little things that make the biggest difference in our lives. Don’t be afraid to explore new work environments, productivity tactics, and schedules. This is the best way to figure out what is the perfect environment that not only allows you to fill your ‘joy cup’ but also empowers you to be the best at what you do!
2. Take Care of Yourself
When working with clients and influencing the lives of others, it is so critical to remember to take care of yourself first. If your life is in shambles, it is near impossible to help anyone else at the same time. It is important to ensure that you are physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy and fulfilled.
Self-care can take on several forms, and again it is up to you to find what really works! Be sure to take time out of your work schedule to take a class, do some exercise, visit with friends, and really pamper yourself. This ensures that you are in the best shape to up your overall work performance and attack the day with the utmost enthusiasm.

3. Accept and Grow from Failures
Failures are merely part of the journey towards success. Yes, when failure comes knocking it really sucks and it often feels like there is nothing that can make it better in that moment. But just remember, it is your choice what you do next! The key is to shift your focus from the negative aspect of failure, and move past and onto the opportunity that arises next.
Failure presents us with the key opportunity to learn and grow. When you experience failure, no matter how big or how small, you can either choose to dwell on your mistakes and let it consume you with negativity. Or you can choose to move beyond the mishap, learn from it, and improve for next time.
I hope that this ‘sparked’ some ideas in your journey towards success.
