If You're Ready to Be Your Own Boss, Start Treating Yourself Like One
Hey it’s Deep.
Every week I send you tactics and inspiration to get you off your ass and into the thing you know must be done to transform your life.
This week, let’s talk about your personal standards.
Have you ever noticed how you jump through hoops for your boss, but drag your feet on your own stuff?
Here's a mind-bending idea: What if you treated yourself like your own boss?
Sounds simple, but the results can be game-changing.
Think about it:
When your boss asks for something, what happens?
• You prioritize it
• You meet deadlines
• You produce quality work
• You communicate clearly
• You show up on time
• You don't make excuses
Now, flip the script. How do you treat yourself when you're calling the shots?
For many of us, it's a different story.
Distraction hijacks focus. Procrastination creeps in. Deadlines slip. Quality suffers.
Here's the truth: To succeed as your own boss, you need to treat yourself with the same respect and commitment you give to your employer.
This shift in mindset isn't just about productivity – it's about reclaiming your power and potential.
When you treat yourself like you treat your boss, you'll notice a surge in self-confidence and motivation.
You'll start accomplishing goals you once thought were out of reach. Your work quality will skyrocket, and so will your satisfaction.
You'll feel more in control of your life and career, less stressed, and more fulfilled.
This self-respect ripples out, positively impacting your relationships and overall well-being.
By valuing your own time and efforts, you send a powerful message to yourself and others: your dreams and goals matter.
And when you truly believe that, there's no limit to what you can achieve.
Now, let's put this into action. Try this exercise:
1. Write down how you'd act if your dream boss asked you to complete your current goals.
2. Now, act exactly that way - but for yourself.
This mindset shift is powerful.
It's about:
• Respecting your own time and energy
• Holding yourself accountable
• Valuing your own vision as much as you would someone else's
• Treating your commitments to yourself as non-negotiable
Remember, the most important employee you'll ever manage is yourself.
If you want something to help you take action, follow these steps for this week:
1. Identify one area where you're not treating yourself like a valued boss
2. Implement a change in that area today
3. Track the difference in your productivity and satisfaction
