Are you sabotaging your dream by needing to ‘get it right*’?
Hello Beautiful Friend,
Is your need to ‘get it right*’ sabotaging your dream of true independence happening?
Earlier this week I shared that I am claiming my real value:
I am resourcing women in business to realize their dream of helping others by coaching or consulting, to enjoy life & make a healthy income WITHOUT feeling judged, compromised or isolated.
Now, I am not new to the womens’ business world, in fact, you may know I am a seasoned contributor.
After working at Board level in corporate life, which sucked life out of me, I’ve worked independently building up my practice over 10 years, had a daughter & created 3 profitable businesses in that time. It’s a space I thrive in.
What is more, I have helped a lot of people, especially women, who have felt undervalued and under-appreciated in their work, to translate that heavy overwhelm into lightness, ease, freedom and most importantly, the prosperity of their own independent lifestyle & business.
Now I have been aware of this but I haven’t really owned all of it. Especially the money part.
I’ve overlooked it – saying to myself I’m not a millionaire, who’s going to listen to me? I’m not the ‘right’* (*code for ‘perfect’) person to help.
I’ve pretended not to know I live a prosperous life as I know it: I trust in supply. As I receive more, I give more.
Many millionaires are not prosperous, are they the best teachers?
And many wealth creation experts are more akin to silver tongued ‘get rich quick’ slippery sales people who will tell you to buy their magic formula whilst grasping your credit card and then leave you to work it out on your own anyway.
This is so exploitative, and totally destroys an individual’s confidence where they are taking genuine risks. I deeply appreciate this, and that’s why I know I can help make the leap in to true independence even simpler and easier for those who want it.
Because being willing to strike out on your own is a risk. It’s consistently about risking, trying new, different things as you lean in to it more and more, learning to trust and appreciate yourself as you ‘get it right*’ and ‘wrong’ one step at a time, smiling along the way.
You’ll get it a lot wrong before you ‘get it right*,’ (and then of course you’ll become an ‘overnight success’
).
Essential Learning:
Your business isn’t about DEFINITION, isn’t about ‘getting it right’.
You don’t arrive, in 6 months, 6 figures, end of story. It’s a pathway. You keep moving, expanding, magnifying as you follow it.
You learn to be comfortable with experimenting, willing to make ‘mistakes,’ see blind spots. You learn to value the expertise of those who can genuinely help you handle them.
You grow in courage & humour
to keep getting out of your own way and owning those parts of you that keep coming to light, knowing they are VALUABLE, showing you the way to realizing the freedom of the lifestyle you yearn for.
Yes. Celebrate. Smile. Not ‘getting it right’ is a good, good thing.
What experiences of not ‘getting it right’ are you having?
What impact is this having?
I am listening with a smile & an open heart for you.
