Does this sound familiar??
You've achieved success as a female entrepreneur, yet something still feels off - a nagging sense that you're not reaching your full potential.?
If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. In this article, you'll learn how I uncovered the secret to overcoming this invisible barrier.?
In a recent conversation with Ralph Brogden on Rebelpreneur Radio , I had the opportunity to discuss how love can be the driving force behind a thriving business. Yes, you read that right - love in business. It might sound unconventional, but bear with me.
Years ago, I was running a successful copywriting business, helping small businesses improve their online presence. But despite my achievements, I felt like I was hitting a ceiling. Something was missing, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
One morning, I was sitting quietly, meditating on the pressure of keeping my business afloat while my sister was battling cancer. But in that stillness, a quiet voice within me whispered, "Write a book about love." I thought it was absurd. What could love possibly have to do with business? But that whisper stayed with me, and the more I explored it, the clearer it became: love was the missing piece in my life, my work, and my success.
The L.O.V.E. Method: A Framework for Success
L - Let Go and Let God
The first step is about releasing limiting beliefs and expectations. It's about trusting in a higher power - whatever that means to you - and your own inner wisdom. By letting go of the need to control everything, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and reduce stress.
O - Open Your Heart to Receive
Many of us struggle with receiving, whether it's compliments, help, or even money. I shared a story about my sister, a massage therapist, who was hesitant to accept a generous holiday bonus from a client. This resistance to receiving often stems from feelings of unworthiness. By opening our hearts, we allow ourselves to receive the abundance that life offers.
V - Value Your Uniqueness
In a world full of competition, it's easy to fall into the comparison trap. But your unique qualities are what set you apart. Embrace what makes you different and use it to your advantage in your business.
E - Embrace Your Divinity
This final step is about recognizing your inherent worth. We all make mistakes, but that doesn't diminish our value. By embracing our divine nature, we can forgive ourselves, learn from our experiences, and continue to grow.
Relating Self-Love to Your Business
领英推荐
Now, you might be wondering how all of this relates to running a successful business. The truth is, when we operate from a place of self-love and acceptance, it radiates into every aspect of our lives - including our professional endeavors.
When we value ourselves, we're more likely to:
- Charge what we're worth
- Set healthy boundaries
- Attract clients who respect and appreciate us
- Take risks and pursue growth opportunities
- Create a positive work environment for ourselves and our team
Remember, your business is an extension of you. By nurturing a loving relationship with yourself, you're creating a solid foundation for a thriving business.
Applying L.O.V.E. in Your Business
Here are three practical ways to start applying the L.O.V.E. Method in your business today:
Let Go and Let God: Identify one task you feel you’re overly controlling, and delegate it. Notice how it reduces your stress.
Open Your Heart to Receive: Every time someone pays you a compliment this week, simply say 'thank you' without downplaying it.
Value Your Uniqueness: Make a list of the top three qualities that make you stand out from your competitors.
A Journey of Patience and Growth
It's important to note that this isn't an overnight process. As I shared with Ralph, life is a journey, and there will always be new lessons to learn. Be patient with yourself as you navigate this path of self-discovery and business growth.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your business, it might be time to look inward. Are you treating yourself with the same kindness and respect that you offer your clients? Are you valuing your unique gifts and allowing yourself to receive abundance?
I invite you to take a moment today to practice self-love. It could be as simple as writing down three things you appreciate about yourself or taking a few minutes to meditate and connect with your inner wisdom.
Remember, you are worthy of success, abundance, and joy. By embracing love as the foundation of your business, you're not only setting yourself up for greater success but also creating a ripple effect of positivity in the world around you.

2 周LOVE is the driving force in so many areas of our lives but not one many people want to talk about or associate with business. I remember a very smart friend and colleague sharing that she would connect "love" to her work with attorneys. Several colleagues scoffed at the idea. I'm glad you did not push the thought aside. We make a difference with love for God, love for others, and love for ourselves.

3 周Without love, life is dry. The workplace needs it too! Without love we can't forgive. And that's just the start of a list of crucial things that pivot on love. Whether it's self-love, love for others, or love (passion) for our mission - it's fuel for the engine of life!

1 个月Here's another practice to help you let go and let God - breathe! When you're under stress, feeling down, take a few moments to take some deep breaths. Try the 5x5 routine. Breathe in for the count of 5, hold for the count of 5, release for the count of 5 and hold for the count of 5. Repeat that 5 times. You'll find your body immediately relaxes and your mind does too!
