Have you ever felt like your life has become one big, repetitive loop?

If you’ve ever felt like this, trust me—you’re not alone. I think all of us have been through this at one point or another.

When I first started my business five years ago, it was everything to me. It fueled my soul and gave me a sense of purpose. I lived and breathed its potential every single day. But somewhere along the way, things started to shift.

So, what happens when that passion for your business starts to fade?

Maybe your sales took a dip. Maybe life got in the way—family, kids, real life behind the scenes. Or maybe you just needed a break from trying to be Superwoman all the time.

Here’s the truth: I’m not the same person I was when I started my business—and that’s okay. Neither are you.

When I look back at when I started on this journey, I see someone who was young, hopeful, and maybe even a little bit naive(which was honestly a good thing). Since then, I’ve seen major highs and some serious lows, celebrated incredible wins, and had months where I’ve questioned whether it was even worth it.

Entrepreneurship is messy, but it’s also incredibly beautiful.

What I’ve come to realize is that growth is part of the process. We learn and we evolve.

With that growth comes the chance to reignite a passion that may have been buried under all of life’s responsibilities.

After joining The Awakening Academy and listening to other female entrepreneurs talk about their struggles, I realized I wasn’t alone. The more I talked about my thoughts, the more human the entrepreneurship journey felt. The voice in the back of my head that used to tell me that I was made for more, was finally back in action. It was empowering.

This program was the start of a whole new era for my business.

From there, I decided it was time to reignite that flame and dive head first into the one thing that made me an entrepreneur to begin with. I started putting all of my effort into my business again (behind the scenes) for a full year, to prove that I could stay consistent with myself. As you can imagine, it lit me up inside, just like it did all those years ago.

I realized that sometimes we hide behind our businesses due to paralyzing perfectionism, procrastination, and the fear of showing our true selves to the world.

We are a collective of messy, beautiful humans with an undeniable passion to make an impact—even if our vision gets a little blurry sometimes.

The fire we had when we first started? It’s still there. We just need to find it again.

For me, reigniting that passion started with a cup of coffee and a journal. Sounds simple, I know, but it works. Before the chaos of each day set in, I would set aside 25 minutes to reconnect with my business. I would ask myself questions like:

• Why did I start this business?
• Who did I want to help?
• Am I still passionate about what I’m doing and who I’m serving?
• Do I want to add any new skills or services?
• Is my audience still aligned with my goals, or do I need to pivot?

These reflections helped me resurface the passion that had always been there, one question at a time.

Here are some other things that helped me along this year-long journey...

Methods to Reignite Your Passion for Your Business

1. Find hobbies that bring you joy.

Joy in your personal life spills over into your business. When you’re doing things that make you feel alive, that energy carries into everything else that you do.

2. Surround yourself with like-minded people.

Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” And it’s true. When you’re not around business-minded people, it’s easy to lose that entrepreneurial spark. Find your tribe—whether at networking events, co-working spaces, or even at your favorite café.  Make sure those people are fueling your passion, not draining it.

3. Don’t be afraid to pivot.

Our ideas are not carved into stone. Our businesses evolve just like we do. If something isn’t working or doesn’t feel right anymore, don’t be afraid to switch things up. You’re allowed to change, adjust your goals, or alter your services.

4. Work ON your business, not just in it.

Set aside time every week to focus on growth. It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day tasks, but real progress happens when you dedicate time to plan, strategize, and grow. I kept hearing everyone talk about this, but didn’t understand it until I tried it for myself. Test it out and you will be amazed how much you can get done.

5. Move your body every morning.

It sounds cliché, but movement really does set the tone for your day. I personally love walking meditations when my mind feels cluttered or upbeat music when I’m feeling energized. Sometimes, I’ll listen to a motivational podcast (like The Legacy Creator) for that extra push. It helps clear my head.

6. Give yourself grace.

This one took me almost a year to master, but it’s the best advice I’ve ever received and let me tell you, it is life-changing. Stop criticizing yourself so harshly. It’s okay to take time to realign with your business and your goals. It’s okay to slow down when you need to. Without grace, we have nothing.

So, take a deep breath. There is no need to race to the finish line because no such line exists in business.

Remember that version of you who set out to change the world?

She’s still there, and she’s already on her way.
