🌿 Personal Development & Wellness as a Founder
  
    You are the engine of your business. Your energy, mindset, and capacity directly affect your income, client results, and longevity. This module teaches you how to invest in yourself — not just for wellness, but as a business-growth strategy.
  
  
    🧠 Step 1: Embrace the Identity Shift
    Goal: Acknowledge that growing a business requires growing you — mentally, emotionally, and habitually.
    
      - From practitioner → to CEO
 
      - From helper → to leader
 
      - From busy → to intentional
 
      - From working for income → to building with vision
 
    
    Prompt: “What version of me is capable of building the business I say I want?”
    Write 5 qualities of that version — now reverse engineer them.
   
  
    🛑 Step 2: Recognize Founder-Specific Burnout
    Goal: Learn the warning signs before they cost you clients, creativity, or clarity.
    
      - Dreading sessions with great clients
 
      - Constantly tinkering with systems instead of selling
 
      - Feeling like growth = more exhaustion
 
      - Losing creative energy or spark
 
      - Avoiding visibility even when you know it helps
 
    
    Note: Founder fatigue isn’t solved with a nap — it’s solved with a reset plan.
   
  
    🔄 Step 3: Create Your Personal Reset System
    Goal: Design a lightweight system you can revisit quarterly to recharge and realign.
    A. Mind Reset
    
      - Ask: “What beliefs are no longer serving me at this level?”
 
      - Reframe: “If I trusted myself more, I would…”
 
    
    B. Body Reset
    
      - Audit: sleep, movement, screen time, nutrition
 
      - Add 1 ritual: walk, sauna, greens, cold plunge, journaling
 
    
    C. Business Reset
    
      - Review: What drains vs. energizes?
 
      - Clear clutter — digital, mental, schedule
 
      - Set calendar reminder: “Quarterly Reset Review – You’re the Asset”
 
    
   
  
    🧘 Step 4: Design a Founder Wellness Practice
    Goal: Build habits that protect your energy and sharpen your leadership.
    Try this 5-Element Practice:
    
      
        
          | Area | 
          Daily Action | 
        
      
      
        
          | 🌞 Sunlight | 
          10–20 min outside before screens | 
        
        
          | 🧃 Nourishment | 
          Protein + water within 1 hour of waking | 
        
        
          | 🧠 Mindset | 
          3-min “what matters today” voice note | 
        
        
          | 🚶♀️ Movement | 
          Move every 90 mins (stretch, walk, etc.) | 
        
        
          | 🤍 Connection | 
          Send 1 message of gratitude or encouragement | 
        
      
    
    These aren't just personal — they directly improve focus, emotional resilience, and sales presence.
   
  
    📚 Step 5: Commit to Growth Beyond Business
    Goal: Fuel your confidence and capacity through non-business wins.
    
      - Take a skill class (public speaking, improv, breathwork)
 
      - Join a mastermind or peer circle
 
      - Do one thing per quarter that scares you in a good way
 
      - Travel solo — even for a weekend
 
    
    Growth outside your business unlocks growth inside it.
   
  
    🔁 Step 6: Build the "You" Schedule
    Goal: Prioritize yourself on your calendar like a VIP client.
    
      - CEO Day: Half-day/week for strategy or creative work
 
      - Solo Time: 1 hr per week unplugged — just for being
 
      - No-Call Blocks: 1–2 mornings weekly with zero meetings
 
      - Monthly Off-Day: A Friday blocked for nature, spa, or rest
 
    
    Reminder: Protecting your energy isn’t a luxury — it’s leadership.
