There is always a time in your life, career, or business when you want to make some changes and move to a new level. It has happened to me several times. It is an exciting time but also a challenging one as you may have many ideas about what to do next or no idea in which direction you want to go. Or maybe there are some projects you have been working on for a long time and you can’t let them go.
I’ve been living a travelling/laptop lifestyle for many years now. I have experienced life as an expat, a flexpat and a digital nomad. I’m so grateful and happy that I have this opportunity to travel, stay in different locations like France or Italy and take my business with me.
I feel as I have achieved one of my Big Goals. And now What? This is a question I’ve been asking myself recently.
Deep down I know it’s time for me to move my business to a new level, but I’ve been reflecting on what I want to do next maybe for too long and questioning my potential actions. And I could blame myself for doing that. However, I think this is part of the process.
3 tools are helping me with my change.
- Following my wisdom. It always knows what the best for me is. During the past years, I’ve been listening to my wisdom more, not to the digital world full of distractions and new shiny objects (marketing techniques).
- Enjoying the process and not judging myself. It’s very easy to judge yourself for not taking action, or taking long breaks instead of working on your business. I’m learning more about how to enjoy this process of change and not criticize myself or overthink.
- Thinking about what brings me joy and acting on that. Is it recording a new episode of The Expat Career and Lifestyle podcast, going for a walk, or learning more about Instagram? Doing something that brings me joy is helping me to follow my wisdom, be more creative, work on my well-being and come up with new ideas. It works!
It’s important to be gentle with yourself while making changes in your life, career, or business. It isn’t a competition. You’re creating your future that will impact you and the whole world.
