Be the CEO of Your Life

Think of your life as a business. You are the CEO. As the CEO, you determine the success of your business based on the decisions you make. It is your job to ensure that your business is always growing.

In other words, you are responsible for your own life. Your success is determined by the decisions you make. Your job is to ensure that you, as a person, are always growing and moving towards the next level.

Following along?

Okay, think of the people in your life as clients. Your clients support your business. Without your clients, you would have no business. The good thing is, you pick and choose your clients. If a client interferes with the success of your business, you as the CEO, let that client go.

In other words, you thrive off of the people in your life. Whether it's family, friends, or a significant other. While you can't choose family, you can choose who you allow in your life. And if someone interferes with your personal growth, then you have every right to let them go.

Still following?

Let me break it down.

You are a boss!! That means you don't sit back and let people take control of you. YOU control YOU. This is your business, your money, your time, your work! Nobody else can claim what is yours or tell you what to do. You run this!! So act like it.

People will treat you how you allow them to. No one should be able to come into your life and disrespect you or put you down. The business doesn't shut down or close shop early because one client is being difficult. You set the rules! How people talk to you and how people treat you is up to YOU.

On the other hand, you can't control another person's business just like you can't control another person's life. So don't waste your time thinking you can change people to adjust to your life. Even better, stop thinking people will change for YOU. Anybody that changes for YOU is putting on a show because no one is truly changed until they've done the internal work for themselves. Just like no business will change its direction unless it has been discussed internally with staff.

Got it?

This is something I realized very recently. I kept crying because of how I let other people treat me when in reality, I run this! Would a CEO cry when her clients are disrespecting the business? Hell no! She would say, "Thank you for your time, I can no longer be of service to you. Goodbye."
That's how you have to be in your life! You can't keep asking, "why do they treat me like this?" or "why do I keep crying?" Honey, its you! Take your power back and run your damn business with success on your mind. You have no time to please everybody else.

Understand?

This!

“Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.”

Grow With Me - Welcome

I wish somebody would have told me how hard life gets when you turn 20. I went from saying, "when I grow up..." to "oh sh*t! I am grown up. Now what?" 

I don't know what's next! I'm 20 and I don't know what I want to do with my life. Yes, I'm all over the place. I send people off and make promises I can't keep. My favorite line is "Uhh...I'm not sure, I'll let you know." But so what? The mistake I've made was thinking I had to have all my sh*t together right now. I mean it'd be nice, but how am I going to know what I want if I don't try new things and mess up and change my mind? I've made friends and I've lost friends. I've found love and lost it and found it again. Sometimes you have to go through some sh*t. But that's okay. That's what growing is all about.  

So grow with me! In this blog you will find me figuring it out - friends, love, school, music, and life. It's all here. Come on this journey with me as I figure out exactly what is next. Welcome!
