After spending over 10 years in a corporate environment, I didn’t recognize the true importance of my personal state of health until I became an entrepreneur! Health has always been very important to me but in the chaos of a corporate sales environment, you don’t really take much time or have much time to reflect on how you feel and how healthy you are.

Behold, Entrepreneurship. If that doesn’t wake you up to your state of health…nothing will. Not only are you more busy but your entire business is dependant on you (at least for the first few years). You become very aware that if you’re overtired,sick,low energy or malnourished, you don’t flourish! You simply cannot attract amazing results if you look and feel like s____.

It took me a good year to gain control of my state of health and fully accept that I am a walking/talking business card. If optimal health is one of your core values, you are quite aware when you’re not in harmony with it. It’s not about balance, we all know that there are weeks when you are working on a great project or excited to work through the night (that’s entrepreneurship!). It’s about being aware when you have to spend a little more TLC on yourself instead of your business. You come first. Without your health, money means nothing. You cannot give your best to others if YOU don’t come fist. Here are 10 tips to help you attract more business while focusing on your health:

1) Make the time to exercise daily (it releases stress and makes you feel great)
2) Take a top multivitamin (it will increase your energy and release that outer beauty)
3) Consider a 3-5 day retreat if you know you’re running on empty!
4) Observe how you feel at your next meeting or networking event (are you radiant and energetic?)
5) Pilates and Yoga are great to improve your Posture (it will show in your business results!!)
6) Mentor Someone. By teaching others how to succeed, you’ll learn from your own words!
7) Write down 25 things you’re grateful for right now!
8)Clarify your 1 year vision. Where are you going to be one year from now?
9) Build your Success Entourage (your therapist,trainer,coach,mentor,nutritionist). They’ll keep you accountable
10) Stop taking your health for granted! Take control today! Ask for help to get started…
