Hard work and strategy won't cut it

When I created my first business about six years ago (working as a coach and consultant in education), I thought all I needed to do was to work hard and have the right strategy.

Put the grind and hustle in by taking proven steps to become 'successful'. Do this, then that, then a bit of this, repeat, repeat, repeat and voila!  

I couldn't have been more wrong.

And I don't say that because I didn't manage to become successful - I actually did bloody well - I say it because I never actually managed to FEEL successful.

I never fully allowed myself to experience the freedom, joy and abundance of the success I'd created. I was forever nervous about whether the clients and money would suddenly dry up, and about whether I truly was good at what I did (hello, imposter syndrome!).

You see, I'd focused on the strategy and the doing the work, but I'd forgotten to focus on the most important part of the puzzle...

My mindset.

(aka truly getting to know myself and the way I was thinking and feeling about it all)

And because I was always looking outside myself for answers rather than doing the inner work, every step I took was like wading through treacle - taking longer and feeling harder than it actually should.

So, when I started my current business a couple of years ago, I purposefully started with the thing I knew would move the needle the most in not only my business but my whole life. 

I choose to work on ME.

And, in doing that, I found a whole new way of BEING.

A way that meant I could take a hell of a lot fewer steps whilst creating a hundred times the impact with each one.

When I stepped into alignment with my SELF, ideas, inspiration and actions started happening with ease - almost as if they were flowing through me in some instances.

At this point, the 'strategy' becomes so much clear and so much simpler, because it is aligned to ME, rather than me fitting myself into someone else's model.

I unleashed something inside myself that I now nurture every day. Some days that's trickier than others, but I always manage to return to it.

And this 'unleashing' is now something I support so many others to do for themselves! Message me to ask me how! x
