The Key to Smoothing Out Your Business Cycle – Part 2

If there is ANYONE who has succeeded in your business niche, that means that you can too. You CAN make it work. You CAN succeed.

But you have to be willing to be very uncomfortable. You have to be willing to do what I call Fail Forward Fast. You have to ask for help - a lot. You have to find the people who have the knowledge and skills you need to build a business and to make it successfully, sustainably profitable.

We're going to talk more about numbers in the last part of this series. Today what I want to talk about is the thing that most entrepreneurs LOVE to talk about: your thing.

Y'know, the thing you do that nobody else can do as well as you. The thing that compelled you to start your business in the first place. The thing you love.

Unplug from Culture, Plug into Your Calling

Sometimes it is easier to escape into someone else's life than it is to deal with the reality of our own life. When we are hurting. When we are scared. When we are lost.

There is so much waiting for you. There is beauty and joy and rest. A deep rest so profound that every cell in your body will take a deep breath and slowly exhale in peace.

What If We All Believed That #ImEnough

In what may be the BEST marketing campaign ever, the all-female group, The Mrs have created a magic mirror that shows you WHY you are enough.

By the time the video finished, I was sobbing and smiling and reminded once again that we ALL struggle with not feeling like we are enough.

For some of us, it is a moment to moment battle, while for others it only rears it's ugly head when the going gets really tough.

Regardless of when it shows up, I've seen it enough in my coaching practice - tormenting the amazing women that I work with - to know that it is what we call a root. A core human wound.

The Perils of Being Super-Busy

I believe that there is something truly shifting with the energy this year. We are being called into our power in a deep, deep way. The Divine simply will not tolerate us playing small and hiding any more. Every place that we have been lying to ourselves about our magnificence is being exposed and called out. It can be mighty uncomfortable.

Finding Stillness at the Solstice

Now don't get me wrong: I love my sleep. (And, yes, I do work with clients who have chronic sleep loss issues to get them a good night's sleep.)

But at this time of year my body is so excited to get out of bed and get going that I can't say no.

Coaching from a Spirit-Centred Place

But, right now, I'm heading into Day 6 of the NLP Coach Training and the joy and gratitude and courage and strength and passion of the women I am working with has left me speechless.

The 8-day training is designed to be an intensive. You get 4 Board Designations (coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy®) and that is a gruelling schedule. It's equivalent to 2 years of college... in just over a week.

Sowing Joy and Reaping Peace and Love

This season is sacred to me. I suppose they all are but Fall has always been my favourite. Now that I understand more about the energetics of the seasons - and the graceful way in which they cycle - I find that Fall moves me in quiet and deeply, profoundly, transformational ways.

What To Do When Your 'Stuff' Leaks Out for Everyone to See

When, out of nowhere, the woman just across the table from me was bleeding. Relatively profusely. Needless to say, we stopped my intro while we tended to the blood running down her face. It wasn't a nose bleed, just random blood.

Invite Grace Into Your Morning

This is my favourite time of the day...

sitting quietly in the living room before everyone else wakes up - I am in 'my' spot and only the cats have noticed; I have soaking music playing quietly in the background - it's a new cd I bought yesterday and I love it... and I'm with you...
