What Your Business Is Missing Starts With You

I love coaching people on their businesses:

Helping them get clear on what they want, expanding and growing their business offerings, ultimately creating abundance and prosperity.

While we eventually work together on all of those things, clients often come to me when they are ready to take their business to the next level but have become stuck along the way. They know their industry, their network, their numbers, and yet they can’t seem to move the needle. What starts out as a business focused conversation, starts to unveil other aspects of their lives that are disrupted, unsettled, or in some cases, in total chaos. It’s in the deeper discussions that we start to uncover what is inhibiting them from making progress towards the business outcomes above - a lack of alignment.

This is where you might start thinking that before you can get your business in order, you have to get your life in order, right? Wrong.

Before you can get your business in order, you need to get your soul, your Self, in alignment.

You need to be integrated in who you are; to bring all parts of yourself together to show up fully in all aspects of your life - and that includes your business. This deeper level of knowing yourself allows you to be aligned to your purpose and clears the path forward. It leads you to do the good work you are meant to do.

We’re all out here trying to balance everything: work, life, home, relationships, health & wellness - we’re so busy juggling all the balls afraid that we might drop one, that we’re missing out on what’s right in front of us: the present moment. The gift of right now. Our energy becomes disparate, divided, and scattered when we are constantly chasing after each of these areas of our lives. No wonder we are unable to see new possibilities for our businesses, let alone take action.

When we step away from trying to balance the external, and shift our focus to integrating everything on the inside, the blockers that were keeping us stuck start to disappear.

Stop balancing. Start integrating.

Start noticing how you are showing up - who are you being that has you feeling stuck?

Who are you being that has you feeling overwhelmed and unable to move forward?

It’s in the answers to these questions that we can start to uncover the why behind the stuckness, that we can start to identify the rocks, the bricks, and the boulders that have been building up around us. These blockers have often been formed as a result of expectations, standards, and legacies we have inherited from others. Or the emotions and energy from those around us that we have allowed to permeate our being. The only way forward is to identify and remove them one by one. It’s not personal, they’re just no longer yours to carry.

You keep your frequency where you want to operate.

That is integrity.

That is staying true to who you are. That is what creates momentum towards what you want and keeps you on the upward spiral.

When you’re in alignment, you’re in flow.

Calm and ease quickly follow.

By weaving all aspects of your life together, braiding and stitching along the way, you’re able to move forward. Your life is full of possibility and opportunity. You are in the driver’s seat. You get to choose what’s next and see everything around you, including your business, unfold.
