Banging your head against a wall? 5 reasons to invest in a day for yourself

Is 2015 your year to rediscover your true passions and start that business you’ve always imagined yourself running? Or to kick some of those goals you set when you first started out?

If you’re feeling uninspired in your career, but need that extra push to take the plunge into entrepreneurship, attending a day of inspirational hit after inspirational hit, like “Run the World” could set you on the path to happiness and success.

Here are 5 reasons why putting aside a day to invest in yourself will make it all worthwhile:

1. Learning

It can be too easy to get caught up in a career where your education and development plateaus, and you find yourself performing the same tasks every day. Everyone needs to be challenged to attain a sense of accomplishment, and starting your own business venture will no doubt push you to your limits.

The speakers at Run The World will be providing valuable advice and practical tips for getting your business off the ground and how to achieve that elusive work-life balance we all dream of.

2. Connecting

Starting your own business can be an isolating pursuit, so it’s nice to know there are other women out there facing similar problems and hurdles to you.

Knowing you’re not alone, and that there is a community to support and guide you through the complicated process that is entrepreneurship can be the difference between failure (what a dirty word!) and success.

Female entrepreneurs are a rare and ambitious group, who share similar interests and goals. Who knows? You could meet your future best friend at Run The World.

3. Inspiration

When you’ve been stuck in the corporate sphere, typified by grey open plan spaces and fluorescent lighting, inspiration can be as difficult to come by as a vegan in a steakhouse.

Hearing from our 11 influential female entrepreneurs will motivate you to break the mould and become the best version of your entrepreneurial self.

You’ll leave Run The World with the knowledge that you have the power to make a difference and lead your own business venture. A little bit of confidence goes a long way!

4. Empowerment

Empowerment is the extension of inspiration, and that’s what you really need to take on the mammoth task of running your own business.

What we’re hearing from many women with entrepreneurial goals is that a fear of failure is the main thing holding them back from taking the plunge into their own business venture.

Being empowered to see failure as a learning curve, and not a stain on your character is what will build your resilience, and will be the ultimate sign of your success. As Winston Churchill once said, ‘Success consists of going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.’ So, never relinquish your enthusiasm!

5. Rediscover your passion

Money is a very attractive incentive, but as we all know, it doesn’t buy happiness. All 11 of our speakers have pursued their business dreams in fields they are extremely passionate about, and that is a huge part of why they have grown so successful.

When was the last time you asked yourself to summarise your passions? If the life path you’re currently following doesn’t match your passions, it could be time to consider changing gears. Life’s too short to be making your CEO richer and pushing your own interests aside.

Being passionate about your business is the most lucrative asset you can have. Never let anyone steal your drive!

To invest in a day of life-affirming messages to encourage and enable you to pursue your business dreams, register for the Run The World Conference. The event will be held at QUT in Brisbane on May 16.
