How to become a Wellpreneur

Creating a Wellpreneur Revolution!
Create a wellpreneur revolution! As a business owner, you are a walking, talking business card for your personal brand or business. It is critical that you recognize that your state of health will eventually either accelerate or hinder your business results. Too often, we get caught up in the momentum of our busy businesses and we put our personal health on the backburner. Over time, we end up doing the best we can to stay on top of things but at the expense of our personal magnetism and energy.  Not only will you be drained but your business profits will eventually drain as well. Your health is your best and most valuable asset. You should be spending your most precious time and money taking care of you. Surround yourself with an expert team that you can rely on for personal care. Your coaches, your mentors, your health practitioners. Build your very own ‘power team’ to help keep you accountable and help keep you at your best.

Your Personal Power Team Checklist:
Business Coach(es)/Mentor(s)
Massage Therapist
Health Practitioner(s)
Nutritional Coach
Great listeners/cheerleaders
Beauty Experts (to help you looking and feeling your best)
Personal Trainer/Yoga Instructor/Pilates Instructor
Healer(s)/Therapist(s)/Spiritual Advisors
Sport Coach (if you’re an athlete)

It’s a big team but you have big ambitions and as an entrepreneur, you are exerting more personal energy, mental power and hours than most. Remember you are a walking, talking business card. If you don’t feel at your best, you won’t reach your true potential.

But Where do I begin? Delegate.

You’re going to have to free up some time to make room for the time and energy required to focus on you.  However, as Robert Kiyosaki says, you didn’t go into business to learn how to be a bookkeeper, so delegate what you can and focus on earning money and taking care of your wellbeing! As an entrepreneur, you first step is to start delegating. In order to make time for your personal health and wellness, you’ll have to give away activities that are extremely time consuming.

Three key ingredients on the road to wealth and wellness:

Your Bookkeeper

Being an excellent money manager is absolutely necessary to build wealth. You may have the skills and the time to do your own books, record all your receipts and evaluate where you spend your money but should you? Imagine the income you could generate if you took this time and spent it engaging in activities you are great at. Let’s take a 6 hour window for example. Say you had a professional build you a spreadsheet, enter your receipts and provide you with a full analysis of your monthly money transactions. During that same period of time, you successfully booked 3 new clients and partnered with 1 new corporate sponsor who is willing to completely fund the launch of your first book. That’s the magic of hiring someone who ‘plays at what you work at’ meaning they do it with more ease & efficiency and much quicker that you ever could. It takes them 2 hours vs your 10 hours for the same activity.

Your HouseCleaner

It is very common for people to say ‘I will get a housecleaner as soon as I can afford it’. The issue with that is that instead of spending time on revenue generating activities, they’ll spend hours and hours per week cleaning their house. To make matter worse, this is a total hamster wheel. Cleaning is never ending and is never complete. I am sometimes criticized for the lack of time I spend on cleaning. My motto is ‘Why spend major time on minor things’ and if it’s not generating revenue, delegate the activity. I suggest finding a housecleaner who is able to work with your budget. Often the two of you can come up with a compromise that works for both of you. If you have less money each week to spend on cleaning, perhaps they could come even for an hour to tidy up and through in a load of laundry for you.

Make a list of the cleaning activities that are most important for you. I suggest the ones that are regular activities.

-Folding Laundry
-Changing Bed Sheets
-Vacuuming & Washing Floors
-Dishes
-Bathrooms/Kitchen Cleaning

Next, you can interview some housecleaners in your area. Have your list ready and see if the two of you can come up with a price per hour to take care of these activities on a weekly basis. Even if they don’t clean your entire house, you can delegate some of the ‘time-stealers’ that have to be done regularly.

Your Virtual Assistant

No, you are not dreaming! You can afford a virtual assistant. There is a booming business in the area of personal assistants that can work from their home. What’s even more appealing is that you can search online for an assistant by location, skillset, price, etc.

Hiring a Million Dollar Financial Advisor

This step is very important. Most people will hire someone to take care of their money that is in the same financial situation than they are (or worse). First and foremost, it is important to be an excellent money manager yourself. If you are struggling with where your money goes or just spend until the cash runs out, even the best financial advisor cannot be with you daily to help you with money in- money out. You must become an excellent money manager if you aren’t already. This means tracking where every dollar goes and what transactions take place each day for personal and business.

When it comes to your finances, you should have your very own ‘wealth’ team. This includes your bookkeeper, you wealth coach and your financial advisor. When it comes to a financial advisor, I would recommend someone who is already a millionaire. It’s also important to hire an advisor who is educated and familiar with creating multiple streams of income (not just investing mutual funds and creating RRSP accounts). You want to hire an expert and that means hiring someone who can help you invest in different ways. Interview your financial advisor! Do they have experience with real estate, business start-ups, and passive income streams? Do they have multiple streams of income themselves? What products do they represent? Do they only promote mutual funds? What types of returns can you expect from the different products they work with?

How do you find these advisors? Ask around. Ask wealthy people for referrals! Email someone in business you admire and ask them who they use. Ask around and you will stumble upon a handful of names.  Many of these experts may have financial criteria but they would certainly, at the very least, be open to meeting with you and perhaps offering you a great referral!
