Loving Your Business: Rethink Your Relationship with Your Company and Make it Work for You
Remember when you used to love your business?
In some ways, you still do. But it can also feel like a trap. No matter what you try, your business can't run without you and it doesn't scale. It can be frustrating. Overwhelming. Exhausting. But you can't just walk away. You're committed to what you've created, have clients and staff you care about, and you don't want to work for someone else.
Debbie King knows what it's like to feel trapped by a business you used to love. She felt that way for years before she made two fundamental shifts: she changed the way she thought about her business and the way she ran it.
In Loving Your Business, Debbie shows you how to rethink your relationship with your business and reclaim your life. Instead of taking everything from you, your business can give you what you really want: more time, a sense of purpose, and ultimately, complete financial freedom.
Learn how to leverage your brain and manage your mind so that you turn your company into a scalable asset that can run without you. That's a business you'll love owning (and other people will too). In fact, that's a business you can even sell when you're ready.

Debbie King is a successful entrepreneur with significant experience building scalable, solution-based businesses. Loving Your Business is King's solution to the elephant in the room of business ownership: what happens you no longer really like your business? Not only is Loving Your Business an exceptionally well-written book full of actionable advice for business owners, but it addresses the power of thoughts and feelings as tools to propel an idea to success in a sustainable - and even enjoyable - way. I found myself taking copious notes, and look forward to posting a few of the included diagrams on my desk as a reminder of how I want to conduct future projects. This is a book I'll be returning to and passing along to friends. I highly recommend it.

April 14, 2021Too many business owners feel trapped by their business because they take on too much responsibility and get locked into negative thinking. Take a step back. Negative emotions don’t come from what happens but how you react to what happens, so keep your thoughts solution-oriented. Treat your business as an asset; if it’s generating consistent revenue and not dependent on any one person, both you and your business will be better off.
Actionable advice:
Learn to delegate by making a list of the tasks that only you can do.
Your talent and drive helped build your business, but past a point, it can actually hold it back. As you scale up, it’s critical that you delegate tasks. Write out the things you’re good at, and divide them into two groups: things someone else could do, and things only you can do. Spend your time focusing on the second group, and structure your organization so that other smart and talented people can handle the first group.

The best book I didn’t know I needed!
While it was the title that drew me in, it was the content that kept me turning each page! Every part of this book helped me become clearer on how to transform my business into a valuable asset rather than the energy drain it has become. Love it!
