Show Notes

What activities ENERGIZE you? Can you think of a few? Great! Now you have the answer to the question: What is self care?

And that’s a really important question for you as a business owner.

Over the last season, the Simply Biz Besties have shared a lot about what it takes to start, run, and grow a business. But the reality is that all of the strategies, tips and tactics we’ve shared up to now are going to be useless if YOU, the very heart and soul of your business, are lying on the couch, completely burnt out.

So in today’s episode, we’re wrapping up this season of Simply Biz Besties by talking about self care for business owners—with the hearty encouragement for you to prioritize self care. It really is a non-negotiable. And if you’re feeling like self care is selfish, then just listen to the show, because we’ll convince you that self care is probably the most selfless thing you can do for your family, your community, and your business.

So in today’s episode, we’re wrapping up this season (well, just about)* of Simply Biz Besties by talking about self care for business owners—with the hearty encouragement for you to prioritize self care. It really is a non-negotiable. And if you’re feeling like self care is selfish, then just listen to the show, because we’ll convince you that self care is probably the most selfless thing you can do for your family, your community, and your business.

Now just in case you’re wondering, self care doesn’t have to be about bubble baths and pedicures—especially if these activities don’t energize you. Because remember, self care is any activity that energizes you. As such, self care activities in your business could include things as seemingly mundane as creating a schedule that honors your natural energy levels, doing a budget, or outsourcing work that falls outside of your Zone of Genius.

We’ll also be sharing each of our own self care routines and how self care has even been embraced by every member of our families—big and small.

So if professional development and being part of a community of biz besties energizes you, tune in—you’ll be practicing self care as you listen!

* Yes, this is our last official episode of this season, but we will be back next week with a reflection episode, where we’ll be sharing what it’s been like to launch and record a co-hosted podcast. There’ll be some practical podcasting tips and also some behind-the-scenes of our successes and challenges along the way.
