Letting go of mainstream to create your unique business
/Self talk. Who's in your head?
Who's really in your head? Perhaps you're no longer bogged down by comparing yourself to others, but when you sit down to speak to your client prospects, your colleagues, perhaps even your spouse, who's in your head? What's the rhetoric in your head when you're about to pitch? Why?
You're not alone
On maternity leave, I committed to being a full-time Mom to my baby girl. I learnt so much from her, about her, about myself, about my lens on the world; things I can't imagine learning anywhere else. What I didn't expect was the loss of self. After all, I speak, write and empower others around self care!
Suddenly, when I tried to visualize my client avatar, the voices and images that kept turning up were the mainstream voices that didn't approve of my approach to business. What kind of MBA walks around spouting "flow, ease and synchronicity" in business?!
Despite having supported dozens of clients over the years in embracing business models unique to them, their clients and energy needs, regardless of society's outlook, I somehow had to do that work on myself again. Somehow fear that baby brain would never give me my business mind back - that the deeper awareness that I'd developed slowing down for motherhood wasn't going to work in business. All lies of course.
Change the conversation
Today, I've turned things around, again. Talking about these thoughts and being allowed to have the conversation out loud, so that I could reframe it, really made a difference. Honestly, it's why the right entrepreneurial community matters.
True community doesn't try to make you one of the herd. It embraces what only you as a sovereign individual can bring to the table. It celebrates what you can create with free will, and believes that you will. It holds space for you to hear, trust and know yourself, without trying to shape or mold you. In life and in business, from spouse to clients, that is community.
Mindful Entrepreneurship for Mindful Affluence™ by Successiory
That is what I offer that you won't find everywhere else. You're not in business, or about to be in business, because you don't know what you're doing. Even if you feel that way sometimes, somewhere within, you know it's not true. With that in mind, is your business really working with the true you, or are you "doing what you're told"? It's fine if what you're told truly resonates with the authentic you. If it doesn't, there is a better way.
Mindful Entrepreneurship for Mindful Affluence™ by Successiory is not a one size fits all. It's just your size. If you believe you create your own reality, alongside Thomas Edison, Warren Buffett, Marie Currie, but you're having a hard time finding like minds, insights and resources to support you on that journey. If you'd like to establish your business on those very principles, welcome.
Mindful Entrepreneurship for Mindful Affluence™ by Successiory is a virtual service offered through strategy consulting packages and mastermind group sessions. I work with you to explore what rejuvenates you (and drains your energy), as we establish pricing, process and schedules for a business that better serves you and your clients.
Whether you've been in business for years or you're a high-level professional transitioning to entrepreneurship, this is meant to empower you to build the right business for you. There's flow work in the creation process, but the ease is in the execution.
In community or on your own
Are you ready? Good bye hamster wheel, Hello blue ocean! If this resonates, let's go. Whether or not you work with me, yourself or someone else, the only work you need to so is on your mind, will, emotions. Take the time to do that self care. I hope this propels you in your own right direction.
