Burning Brightly

What if you were spending the same amount of time and energy ON your business as you're currently wasting just wondering and worrying about it?

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and sometimes that first step can seem impossible.

In this episode I'm going to help you put some of those newbie fears to rest (like, "will starting a business cause me to neglect my family?") and walk you through the 3 things you need to decide to get started on your dream. You get to (finally!) decide what you're going to do, why you're starting this business and the truth behind the "how".

We're all familiar with the discomfort of trying something that's new and unfamiliar. For me, the most common uncomfortable emotions that come up as an entrepreneur are insecurity, overwhelm, boredom, frustration and confusion.

When these emotions show up, we can be tempted to think that this means we're doing something wrong or that God is trying to tell us something.

In truth, it just means we're doing something new!

If we can learn to not only allow but welcome these emotions, there's no limit to what we can build and accomplish. Let me teach you how to do this.

If you're human, then you probably know that we spend most of our life just trying to feel good.

The problem with this chronic avoidance of negative emotion is that the hard, bad and scary stuff is actually what makes the good stuff BETTER.

Understanding this concept and embracing the "bad" stuff will ensure you can fully step into the role of entrepreneur and become a shining example of God's light.

Compassion comes easy for us when we see our loved ones struggling or in pain. It requires more effort to tap into compassion for strangers or our enemies. But feeling compassion for ourselves with all our faults? That feels almost impossible!

The truth is, if we're going to go out and do hard things (like sharing our talents with the world) we're gonna need to develop some self-compassion. Why? Because we're going to screw up. We might embarrass ourselves or do something "wrong". We might lose money or gain enemies. We might anger someone or prove our ignorance. And compassion is the answer to it all.

When we put ourselves out into the world, we're committing to showing up for the good, the bad and the ugly. So let's start showing ourselves some big-time love, even if we don't think we deserve it. It will be your biggest secret to success.

Did you know that you can learn to trust yourself just like you would trust someone else? In fact, I highly recommend you DO learn to do this.

As a wannabe entrepreneur, you're going to begin asking yourself to do some really hard, uncomfortable and unfamiliar things. If you don't trust that you'll follow through on your word or that you'll finish a project you've taken on, why would you want to go into business with yourself?

Let's explore this topic more and learn about the 3 ways to develop trust with ourselves.

As a life coach, I've been trained in how to tell the difference between the thoughts that serve us, and those that keep us stuck.

Let me help you decide which one to let drive your life.
