Today I’m acknowledging that building your great consulting business is both a personal and professional journey. If you are to succeed in both your business and your personal life you must design your business to support and enhance your personal development.

What I believe. I believe creating a Coveted Consultancy involves both personal and professional development.

Why I believe it. Just like children pick up good and bad behaviors from their parents, businesses pick up good and bad behaviors from their leaders. You, as the leader of the business, must commit to developing better behaviors and habits every day. If you show your business poor behaviors and poor discipline, then your business will reflect poor performance. If you show your business good behaviors and good discipline, then your business will reflect good performance. Which behaviors would you like your business to reflect?

You may already feel like your business has taken over your life. If so, you understand that your professional pursuits have personal consequences. You carry your phone every day. You carry your laptop everywhere you go. You may also carry a tablet, notepad, and calendar on a consistent basis. You carry these items all the time, whether you’re working or not. If this sounds like you, you already recognize that your professional pursuits have crept into your daily personal life.

You started a business because you wanted your life to be different, not just your work to be different. To that end, business goals by themselves will not be satisfactory. If we only talk about your business goals, then we are neglecting the rest of your life… the more significant parts of your life. Your business is supposed to be designed in a way that gives you the most efficient life possible, not the other way around. It is about designing a business that will fuel your life, not about designing your life so that it can fuel your business.

Relevance to you. As a company, we understand that this journey is both personal and professional. In many cases, it’s your own personal beliefs that help you create your best consulting business. We are not afraid of that conversation. We welcome the fact that you have personal beliefs and we welcome the fact that your personal beliefs inform how you choose to run your business.

We support you with business building strategies to help you create the business you desire, but we are not your full time psychologist or counselor. Our focus is not to over analyze you and dig up your deepest, darkest secrets. Our intention is to understand where you might experience a block, whether personal or professional, and to help you relieve that block so that you can continue designing your very best business.

Depending on where you are right now, you might believe that both your personal and professional lives are a mess. We don’t care. If you are willing to fix your situation, then we are willing to help you. Oftentimes the situation feels worse to you than it really is. As we have an honest conversation about your personal and professional situation, we can craft solutions to move you beyond where you are today.

Building your successful business will require your commitment and development as a leader. Considering the total amount of time, commitment, skills and resources required to run your business, it is imperative that you create a healthy division between personal and professional. You need to be able to carry on with your business, while still maintaining a healthy personal life.
