subject: How To Create Freedom In Your Business And Life [print this page] Let's face it it's down right exhausting trying to hold it all together. Pretending like you've got it going on when the reality is, you could fall apart at any time. Dressing the part, acting the part, even preparing for the part can be a job in and of itself.
When you are building a business and you want to be taken seriously and appear to know what you are doing, yet you are struggling with everyday obstacles that are very real for you, and feeling like a fraud, what's a girl to do?
I know what I did. I just faked it. I pretended everything was fine and dandy and I successfully created the illusion that I "had it all together". The problem was, on an energetic level I was beating myself down. It was exhausting to keep up the faade. Playing the role of successful business owner and then being the scared woman wondering where her next client was coming from.
When I learned how to successfully create a business and life without all this drama, I was liberated to bring forth all my authentic brilliance, which aligned me to attract an abundance of amazing clients, meaningful relationships and wise mentors who have helped me to fill my bucket with good fortune.
I want to share with you how I did that.
But I need to say that you may not believe me at first. I challenge you to challenge your beliefs and the way you've been doing things, and check in with yourself. On a deep level, go inside and ask how what you are doing now is working for you?
I don't want you to change what you're doing and do what I did, unless of course it makes sense to you. I want you to learn how to challenge the way things are done and if they don't feel right to you, find something different that does.
For way too long I stayed in the box of "how things are done" and "this is how it works" and I struggled to make my business grow. Now I do things differently, and I am blissfully happy with the trajectory of my business and my life.
I want that for you too!
Here's what I did . . .
Your Personal Development Assignment
1. Get clear about what isn't working ~ sit down with your journal and start writing. Make a list of everything that feels out of alignment with who you are and what you want for your business. Then write down what about that FEELS wrong. (For me I was told not to limit myself to only working with women. Guess what? I only want to work with women! I felt constricted, bullied and controlled. I was unconfident and unmotivated to network and my message was messy.)
2. Have a conversation with your Inner Wisdom ~ grab that journal again and with two different colored pens start a conversation with your Inner Wisdom and ask her for some guidance. Ask for the next best step that will take you closer to your goal. You DO have the answers inside you. You MUST believe that though. (During a conversation like this I realized that marketing to men was completely out of alignment with what I wanted for my biz.)
3. Acknowledge that what you have been doing isn't working and be OK with that! Forgive yourself for being seduced by information overload and decide to create something new that works for you. (As soon as I declared I only work with women, my confidence skyrocketed and my message became crystal clear.)
4. Who cares what "they" think! ~ I'll let the late great Dr Seuss sum this one up, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
5. Get a mentor who can help show you the way ~ find someone who is a few steps ahead of you who can shorten your learning curve and provide you with practical tools that will help you achieve your goals in your authentic, heart centered way. Make sure she follows her heart too so she can be a model for you as you grow.
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned on this journey of fulfilling my purpose and sharing my blessing is that I must follow my heart. Traditional business tactics don't jive for me. My mind just doesn't work that way. And just because an expert says, "this is the way it is because this is how I did it" doesn't mean it's what works best for MY business.
Start using your heart more when you make decisions about your business and your life. You know what's best for you. Question the experts and consider that you need not look further than your own heart to find the next best step to move you forward.
When you do this watch as the shackles fall away, and you bust out of that box like a party girl out of a cake! You will be liberated to create the most authentic, delicious, fun, profitable, business you can imagine.
