I used to believe that supporting myself in business meant signing up to every webinar, free workbook and challenge I ever saw.
I used to think that I had to constantly strive to be better.
I used to think that learning and gaining qualifications made me a better person.
But if you flip that round, what do you see?
Someone who believes she isn’t enough.
Someone who thinks people won’t like or accept her until she is ‘better’ at things.
Someone who is spending so much time focusing on what she could become, that she’s blind to who she is right now.
Now, I hold my hands up and admit that I’m an eternal student; innately curious and wondering how on Earth I’ll fit in learning Italian, volcanology, astrology, lunar energy, gardening, watercolour painting and travelling to hundreds of different places over the next 50 years!
So I definitely believe in studying, learning and experiencing new things ALL the time.
But that’s not quite the same thing as what I see in the online biz/coaching world (and locally, face to face too).
I see women who are INCREDIBLE at what they do. They’re passionate, knowledgeable, authentic and really, really nice people.
But they’re scared.
Scared to release their ‘baby’ project, course or service into the world in case they get rejected.
Because that’s the thing.
If you put yourself out there, you WILL get rejected.
If you stay small and no one sees you, you’ll never face rejection.
But which one will ultimately give you more satisfaction and joy?
Choosing to put yourself out there will help you to create the impact and income you desire. (Coz let’s face it, we all need to eat, pay the bills AND buy new lip gloss!)
Staying small and hardly ever sharing your offerings will leave you sat at home, frustrated, bored and misaligned with your true purpose.
So, please do me this one favour.
If you’re an amazing woman who’s hiding at home behind her laptop, you NEED to share your gifts with the world TODAY!
Create ONE social media post or an email to your list and tell them this…
- How your service/product is the solution to their current issue/problem/need.
- How it will change their lives/health/financial situation.
- How they will FEEL after using your product/service.
- Who you are and WHY you do what you do.
- The big turning point / lightbulb moment in your life that led you to where you are today.
- AND the MOST IMPORTANT part – tell them WHAT you’re offering, WHERE they can buy/sign up.
- Finish with a sentence that describes how their life might be if they choose NOT to take action.(i.e. they’ll still be stuck in 6 months time at the same crossroads!)
Because, the world needs more amazing, awesome, incredible women, just like you, who can create an impact on other people’s lives through training, coaching, products or services, events, support, inspiration, a splash of colour or a charitable cause.
I can’t wait to watch you shine brilliantly and increase the vibration of our beautiful planet.
With love and light,
