How is Distortion Impacting You?

Recently I was in a conversation with a business owner who, because of other businesses who could pay, but were not paying for services they received, to the tune of millions, had driven this person’s business into bankruptcy. When I asked them what they felt would be their options for moving forward, two options were shared, both were to go to work for someone else.

It strikes me that in this situation going to work for someone else is not necessarily a bad thing, it can become a powerful move. But what is the ROI if the decision is based on a subconscious devaluing or marginalizing of ourselves?

In life, all of us are on a journey, where we are halfway up our mountain of creation. In this day-to-day climb, we have expectations that create a gap between where we are on the mountain and where we expect to be.

At times, in our climb we can experience disruptive changes to our expectations, such as bankruptcies, career changes, adding on a side business, or health and financial issues. Often, with this change comes the noise of self-doubt, judgment, and limiting the vision of possibilities.

Where I am, who I am becomes not enough because the expectation does not let me value the fact of who I became and what I learned in my climb to that point of my mountain.

I felt this way in my bankruptcy. I found myself slipping into the subconscious noise of being stuck in a perceived shrinking marketplace of opportunities, and then settling in on work that did not inspire me but met the limitations of my identity at the time.

Under the lens of subconscious noise, our disruptive changes which are designed to serve us can become an adversarial identity that limits us.

In my experience, life’s experiences and what we learn from them can become our greatest assets when used with a clear perspective of the value of what happened. This allows us to get up again, take who we have become, and continue our climb to create the kind of business and life we desire.

If it would serve you to better understand the impact that subconscious noise and habits of thinking impact change in your business and life, please DM me
