Do you run a business and have a chronic illness? Friends, if you run your own business, you know this line of work is NOT for the faint of heart. The Instagram highlights reel that makes it look easy... is a lie. It’s a lot of work, a whole lot of tough decisions, and let’s face it, sometimes, it ain’t pretty!

But what if you’re also grappling with a chronic illness… can you juggle that and run a successful business at the same time? My guest today says YES!

Nikita Williams simplifies how to run a business with a chronic illness...

… and not kill yourself along the way.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to define ‘chronic illness/chronic pain’ to help determine if this topic affects you

• Should you tell your clients about your chronic illness?

• Nikita’s 3-step process to helping you thrive through chronic illness as a business owner

1. Accept it and own it
2. Create systems that work for you
3. Take care of yourself, daily

• Why it’s important to accept and acknowledge your chronic illness, instead of compartmentalizing it
• What part your mindset plays, when it comes to healing from what ails you

If you’re not sure how much you should open up about your chronic illness—to your clients, your co-workers, your VA and/or your vendors—I hope you find valuable insight in today’s episode.

You are not alone, no matter if it’s an unexpected cancer diagnosis, or endometriosis, or chronic fatigue. The key is to build a support team, both at home and in the workplace, to help you make the conscious decision to keep going.
