Unless you know yourself it is hard to grow yourself?
Unless you give yourself the right permissions to go after what you desire and deserve, you will continue to play small.
Unless you get aligned with your personality and values, you will struggle with how to be authentic and show up to achieve your success goals.
Unless you operate within your zone of genius, doing business will be hard and strenuous.?
The signs that you are not operating with an understanding of these insights and/or within your strengths include:
Self-doubt leading to Imposter Syndrome:?You are plagued constantly with doubting yourself and second-guessing your decisions.?You lack confidence and keep apologising for not aspiring to fulfil your real ambitions.
Self-sabotage causes you to be stuck or give up: You find yourself making excuses, avoiding things, not completing actions, and feeling helpless, yet not knowing why you cannot commit fully and consistently to accomplishing your goals. The overriding feeling you have is being stuck or quietly giving up.?
Shrinking back due to overwhelm:?You find yourself completely withdrawing from situations because you feel overwhelmed by noise, pace of activities and misalignment. The daily struggle and trauma of it gradually erodes your drive and enthusiasm to engage with people and activities.?
Sound familiar, when last did you take time to reflect on these struggles?
Furthermore, have you dived into understanding the real root causes of these struggles or?taken the time to explore them and address them?
I recorded a session on 4 Roadblocks to Success For Introverted Female Entrepreneurs and How to Remove Them Fast as part of a summit recently. Watch it to gain some great insights.
To overcome the barriers and engage effectively to accomplish your business goals it is important to develop Business Agility in alignment with who you are.
Business agility refers to rapid, continuous, and systematic evolutionary adaptation and entrepreneurial innovation directed at gaining and maintaining competitive advantage.
I have always said two things to my clients:
Most Introverts shrink back from the noise and the limelight, get overstimulated by engaging with people and are known to be empaths.

It is important to accept yourself and work on growing and adapting to thrive beautifully in your own way.
2. The secret to your success is within you.?This is vitally important. All the tools and tricks required to succeed in business are on Google, YouTube etc.
However, every trick, strategy and technique requires you to know how to work it in your own way so that you can achieve success.??
For example, marketing yourself.?You will not do this effectively if you are not familiar with your strengths as well as?powerfully craft and portray how you want to be perceived. You cannot do this when you are full of doubt and wishing you were someone else.?Also, the general methodology that you end up choosing has to align with your strengths so that you can have ease to deliver excellence.
Every part of your life is not challenging or broken. Most people never pause to take that deep look at themselves and say “What do I need to do specifically for me to succeed?” Or go out and seek the answer to this question.
When you take the time to do this, you start to build that business agility that you need to thrive in an extroverted world.?
When I started to see that my clients who are very passionate and driven to succeed were finding things challenging, I started to explore ways of helping them pause and do this deep and enlightening work.
This is what led me to create my signature Harness Your Strengths for Business Success for Introverted Female Entrepreneurs. A 6 weeks hybrid coaching and training programme designed to illuminate your understanding of yourself and design your own business success pathway based on these new and empowering insights.?
