Episode 174. Express Tip #87 Are your emotions controlling your business

Being an entrepreneur is hard work, to say the least. Our business is like our baby, and we want to see it grow and thrive. As business owners, we feel an intense and insane amount of emotion day in and day out. There are highs and lows, good days and bad days. Sometimes we feel exhausted and other times we feel excited and giddy. Safe to say, it’s normal if you ever feel confused and full of doubt because this journey is very emotional.

That’s why it is key to understand where your zone of genius is and which are the tasks that will be the best and highest use of your time. This way you can avoid burnout, and instead feel happier and satisfied with your business. 

So today, I would like to show you a tool that I’ve come across during my coaching career. I use it in my business and in my clients’ businesses. It is an objective assessment called the Core Values Index (CVI). The CVI aids in illustrating what satisfies or fulfills you about the work you are doing whether you are more emotional, more visionary, or a doer. It shows you if you’re a worker bee and pragmatic or more process-driven and straightforward. Basically, how you contribute to the world around you. 

It is not a personality test and it only uses positive strategic values in a simple word-choice format. For those whose results identify them as more emotional, here’s what they tend to feel first: doubt, fear, anxiety, happiness. But the two biggest emotions they feel are trust and respect, which are critical because when we do not feel trust in a relationship with someone on our team, with our partner, with a client, we do not open up. Without trust, we do not grow.  

If we do not trust or respect our team, we do not delegate and therefore find ourselves overwhelmed having too much to handle. 

Honestly, it’s plain and simple. Trust and respect are the most powerful feelings that seep into people, leaders, and business owners that are wired more emotionally, according to the Core Values Index. Once you have solid trust and solid respect on your team, that’s when you get to huge, monumental growth points in scaling your business.

I’m talking from experience here. Controlling your emotions, really letting go of things, and trusting your people will make you feel good and safe and will lead your business through the path of growth. 

If you have not taken the Core Value Index, schedule a 20-minute free coaching session with me. You will get a copy of the CVI and I will go through it with you. You’ll learn things about you and the results will push you to work on the tasks that are in your zone of genius.
