Brave Yes CEO

This month, I’ve been focusing on the importance of investing in your capacity as a CEO and entrepreneur — because in order to be braver, be bolder and do braver work in this world, we must have the capacity for it all.

Without capacity we are left exhausted and floundering. We never set our best intentions forward when we are burned out an exhausted.

Capacity ebbs and flows but at the end of the day, the number ONE capacity stealer that I see over and over in my work is this → a lack of self-worth.

There is no bigger drain on our creativity, our energy, our wellbeing than not believing we are good enough.

It just so happens that I have been coaching, studying and building a body of work around enoughness for years and it’s a huge part of my coaching program.

Listen to this SOULCAST episode now.

I’m a believer in Radical Wellbeing for CEOs, Founders and Entrepreneurs who are doing Brave Work.

Brave Work is often your soul’s work. It’s what you were meant to do.

And, it can also be doing the work you do — just very differently.

Whatever your Brave Work is— maybe it’s just being more visible and taking up more space — or putting yourself at the center of the work you’ve been hiding behind for so long … you have to have the clarity, the capacity and the courage to do it.

That’s the foundation of My Brave Yes Coaching philosophy and model.

But today I want to focus on the capacity piece of my coaching work because so many of you reached out to say YES, CAPACITY. THAT’S WHERE I NEED TO INVEST RIGHT NOW. :)

Your Expansion Is Calling by Shawn Fink

I want to talk about an essential part of my coaching philosophy today — the Catapult Method, which is a fun way of looking at the 3 Cs of Brave Yes CEO coaching and methodology.

Two episodes ago, I talked about the goal of my work with women founders and entrepreneurs is all about the A-Factor — that focuses on alignment, audacious self-worth and authenticity. If you haven’t, check out that episode.

And in the last episode I went deep on my own personal word of the year — untamed — and how I see it playing out in my business this year.

Today I’m going to be a bit more practical and talk about the 3Cs of a Brave Yes CEO. Plus a bonus C for fun.

Clarity

Capacity

Courage

When I began my first business in 2012 — 10 years ago — I definitely didn’t have the 3cs. But over time I learned they were essential and where I eventually began to put 80 percent of my investment and resources.

So let’s dive in.

I’ve been paying close attention to what my body wants me to know about my word of the year — untamed.

In today's SOULCAST episode, part sermon, part podcast, I'm sharing my heart on what it means for me to run my business -- and coach others to do the same -- with an untamed mindset.

Learn what I'm noticing about the business world, what I'm calling in for myself and my clients, and an invitation and challenge for you to take this further.

Bolder Boundaries go beyond the what’s OK and what’s not OK part of your business and are designed to protect your Brave Yes CEO role. As the CEO you know what you need to do today and what you need to grow your business.

And yet the “today stuff” will take over.

Your bolder business boundaries are meant to prevent that or lessen that.

Today's episode will walk you through what bolder boundaries for yourself as the CEO will look like.

Understanding what you want more time, energy and money for is the first piece to the puzzle of setting bolder business boundaries.

These kind of stronger, bolder boundaries will give you the capacity to go after that big dream, goal or vision you have for your CEO life or business.

Now, let’s talk about what’s not working related to those beautiful things you identified as wanting more time, money or energy for.

The life of an entrepreneur, business owner and CEO is not what the movies make of it.

It’s a lot messier than that.

Add to that if you are a mom entrepreneur with a family with chaos and uncertainty popping up all over the place, it can be a strain to move beyond survival mode in your business into thriving mode.

Survival Mode often means a total devotion to the neverending todo list that you have that is often prioritized by urgency.

And yet, it’s all urgent.

What happens under these conditions, though, is that you’re not doing the important work that will take your business ot the next level.

My hope with this challenge is to help you set Bolder Business Boundaries -- so that you are tending to the bigger picture of your business.

This episode is part of a week-long series called The Bolder Business Boundaries Boost. Get on the email list and download the workbook to help you work through this Boundaries Boost. https://shawnfink.com/bolder-boundaries/

As the CEO of your business, you are the Queen Bee of Your Own Boundary Ecosystem.

IF you have any big goals for yourself or new habits you want to start or fun things you want to do that are going to require some energy and resources, you’re going to want to develop some Bolder Business Boundaries.

This is the first of a series of podcasts to help you define the boundaries you need in your business -- and for yourself. Get the FREE workbook and emails that take you a little bit deeper here: https://shawnfink.com/bolder-boundaries/

Running a business shouldn’t feel like you are trapped.

Never.

I help my coaching clients dig out from that feeling of being trapped in their business — or industry — by co-creating a Brave Yes Business Blueprint that gives you a clear vision of how your want to show up as a CEO who is totally aligned with your soul’s goals.

This is essential to bringing your most authentic self into your work — through your marketing sales and offers — and to cultivate audacious self-worth by activating your highest superpowers.

I call this your A-Factor as a Brave Yes CEO.
