Creating a sense of urgency in an online business often refers to ad copy and creating a sense of urgency for people to make a buying decision. However, today's episode is a mindset Monday episode and we are talking about the mindset of a sense of urgency that some of us lack while others have it on overdrive. Wether you struggle to show up consistently for your business or you feel overwhelmed and over-driven to the point where it is creating imbalance in your life, this episode will help give you strategies you can apply today to start feeling more peaceful.

For listeners who struggle with getting motivated to work on their business I suggest focusing on showing up consistently for a period of 15 days (to start). Offer yourself a reward for being consistent and work towards just being accountable to yourself. Take the pressure off of getting things done and stop focusing on what you haven't done yet which ultimately deflates your motivation levels even more. Instead make a goal to simply show up and work for a dedicated period of time. Make your focus on one project and work on that until your time goal is reached. After a period of 2 weeks set a new goal and possibly increase the hours you'll show up for (if you have them.)

For listeners who have the opposite problems and feel overwhelmed by the sense of urgency they have to work on their business I can relate! This was me for most of my life, especially after losing both of my parents at a young age. I felt like I lived with the grim reaper looking over my shoulder ready to cut my time short any day. Later the sense of urgency came from needing financial stability. In the end, after creating more time and more money, I realized I was still driven by this unrelenting sense of urgency. That is when I discovered the root cause is an addiction to being busy and to feeling a need to complete things.

I learned to switch my focus to the joy of creating and I encourage you to do the same. Part of building a business is the fun of creation and implementing strategies to help it grow. When we damper ourselves with the heaviness of "needing" to get things done, it certainly takes all the fun out of it and puts us in a position to make decisions from a place of panic instead of a creative positive space. To you, my over eager beavers, I say, slow down and reflect on all that you have already done. Take time to be proud of yourself and enjoy each item you build as you work. Practice being present in your business rather than focusing so much on the future and all that is still to be done.

Let's face it, once you get all this done, you'll only find more to do. It's your nature. Instead focus on and congratulate yourself for your consistency and for diligently working towards your goals.
