Protecting the Golden Goose!
Oct 19, 2021Hey There!
Are You the Breadwinner in Your Family?
I absolutely love listening to podcasts and one of my favorites is by my money mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas! She is funny, has a fabulous Australian accent, and really hits home with her message!
Recently she was talking about being the Golden Goose in her business and it got me thinking! How many women business owners are the primary breadwinners in their families, and do they even realize the importance of that?
I have been in this situation, so I wanted to share what I learned from it and what you should and should not do to protect the Golden Goose!
Each week, I empower you with training tips and a free resource to give you more ideas on how to grow your business while living this one life we were given!

This Freebie is going to give you 7 Daily Habits Highly Successful Entrepreneurs Practice to Grow Their Businesses without Exhaustion & Burnout!
If you are the primary breadwinner, then I can almost guarantee you feel a weight on your shoulders all the time! A weight to produce, keep the income coming in, all while keeping the family dynamics together!
I get it, I have been there! There have been many different seasons in my life where I was the one making $12/hour out of college, to when I started my first business and was up to my ears in debt, to making multiple six figures a year, and to now where things are finally more balanced in my life!
The problem was, no matter where I was in my career journey, I always felt I had to work hard, and self-care came second. The ironic thing was, when I owned my franchise, I would preach to my team about caring for the caregiver (I was in a senior home care franchise) but was not caring for the main caregiver, ME!
In the beginning, I was commuting an hour to and from the office, providing care to clients when needed, and also doing all the other things needed, like marketing, billing, payroll, etc.
I was exhausted I think for 3 years straight!
After I hit my breaking point around year 3, I started listening to my body and mind, and treating myself to massages and little vacations just to find some balance!
But really those did not solve the problem, because what I really needed, as Denise DT says so eloquently, I needed to protect the Golden Goose, which was me!
I want you to look deep into your personal and professional life, if you “broke” today, what would happen? Would everything you built fall apart? Would your family and team know what to do? Or have you set everything up for success and things would go over that bump and keep chugging?
If you are like most of the women entrepreneurs I work with, then things would fall apart for either a short time or altogether! Which is so scary!
So, I want to share with you a couple ideas to help you today in protecting your Golden Goose!
- What self-care do you do and how often do you do it? Do an honest self-assessment! If the answer is none, something has got to change ASAP! I have been doing yoga for 10-30 minutes daily for the past 60 days and I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel mentally and physically! What can you start doing today for 10-30 minutes? Grab the freebie and check out Steps 4 and 5 for ideas!
- What can you do to protect yourself more? This could be from the onslaught of emails, customer complaints, or family issues. Can you hire a VA to handle emails? Could someone else on your team be trained to handle customer concerns? Could your significant other help with some items on your to-do list?
Simple shifts could alleviate some of the stress and fatigue you are facing daily, which in turn is causing the Golden Goose to not perform at her best! It’s time to own that you are the money maker and YOU need some help!
Don’t be ashamed for this shift, it’s time to stand up and own, that you have built and are building a legacy business and in order to grow, you need to care for yourself and your business better!
Summary
In summary, you are the Golden Goose and you, your family, and your team need to work in sync to protect it with everything they got! Take some time to brainstorm what you could do to better take care of yourself and ask for help! This is not a sign of weakness, but more a sign that you are growing and working on your business and not in it! Congratulations!
