it's here! long awaited part 3 of my 3 day live event series I did little over a year ago in my FB group

I called it Designed for Desires and up until now it was only available to a very limited audience

and because I believe this will help so many humans figure out what they want in life and business, I decided to share the recording of it with all of you!!!

so here comes day 3 - how to find out what you truly desire?

what do you want out of your life? what kind of life do you want? in what way do you desire to live?

I know it can often feel that we live on auto-pilot and that it's meant to be that way... to just take life as is, with all it's hurdles and struggles...

and I'm not saying that the opposite of this means there will never be a struggle at all.. 

that is not what human experience is about and it's a very dangerous thing to expect.. 

there will be bad days, sad feelings, inexplicable things happening AND YET your life can be designed the way you want it to be, you can choose your own struggles AND your own version of beauty, love, experiences you WANT to be part of your experience here on this Earth.

if you almost lost hope that your dreams whether connected to business or not will ever come true you must listen to this episode of On Her Own Terms.

babe you got this! you can figure out what it is you want AND shape your life and business in a way that will fulfil these desires and dreams! 

don't let anyone ever tell you to forget your dreams! go for them, no matter how big and unattainable the seem at the moment

let me know what of the 3 exercises I'm mentioning is your favourite and which one helped you the most!

as this was recorder almost a year ago, you will hear me speak about a call I was offering then that is no longer available

but by all means if you need extra support in figuring out your life, in figuring out what it is that your soul craves to get from this world, what your heart crave to give back to this world, I'm always here for you and we will figure this out!

message me on facebook or instagram and I'll get you settled with another link to book your time with me

love you!

mixing things up a little bit, I'll let you wait (just a little bit ;) ) for the last part of designed for desires series that is currently being edited so you can have the best possible experience from me recording it with the sounds of waves and wind in the background <3

this episode is inspired by an amazing conversation I had this morning and will help you if you feel: 

🚫 stuck

🚫 unable to make decision

🚫 procrastinating everything you would normally do to move forward in your life and business

this is the first thing you need to do when you realise you are spinning in your stories, unable to move!

uncover the stories! what are you making things mean? what will happen if you decide a certain way?

and what if you could trust that no matter what you decide it's gonna work out perfectly for you?

what if you could trust that you could correct any possible mistakes?

listen to this episode if you want to 

💚 understand why you make 'making mistakes' such a big deal and that it's absolutely normal, yet not very beneficial for you 

💚 know the number one thing that always helps me to move past that

💚 learn how to not freak out when your team makes mistakes

💚 find out about Carl Rogerses paradox of change “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.”

💚 AND if you want to hear about exciting news I have for you!

ready? put your running shoes on, grab your cleaning tools, do whatever you normally do when listening to this! 

enjoy! 😘

this episode of on her own terms is one of my favourite recordings of all times!

it is part of a 3 day live event series I did little over a year ago in my FB group

I called it Designed for Desires and up until now it was only available to a very limited audience

and because I believe this will help so many humans figure out what they want in life and business, I decided to share the recording of it with all of you!!!

here comes day 2 - creating space 

(if you missed Day 1 of D4D check the previous podcast episode on your favourite podcast platform)

I'm talking about create space in form of physical distance from your usual environment that can come in so many different ways e.g. moving, sabbaticals, retreats

I'm briefly mentioning decluttering that it's one of my most favourite - creating space - practices

and most importantly I'm talking about creating mental space and diving deep into my favourite practices of how I do it such as meditations, yin yoga and many others

creating space for new things to come to us may seem like a very easy and straight forward thing to do 

and it is!

and you also know how easy it is to get entangled in the day to day business and simply life happening to forget this or to even forget that this is something that would help us in designing the life and business we desire 

go have a listen and I'd be most happy if you shared this with your loved ones that like to be busy and productive in their lives <3

also subscribe to be notified when the last part of this mini series comes out to complete the process that will bring you true clarity in what do you want out of your life in the long run

love you!

yay I have exciting news!

this episode of on her own terms is one of my favourite recordings of all times!

it is part of a 3 day live event series I did little over a year ago in my FB group

so here comes day 1 - the releasing ritual

rituals have power, intentions matter and first step to figure out anything new is to say goodbye to the old, that doesn't serve us anymore

what I talk you through in this episode is not a release of physical belongings of yours

we go deeper, it's not for the faint of heart 

this episode will help you dig deep for the parts of your soul that are scared to be looked at, but when you do, kindly and with an open heart, magic happens

the ultimate freedom lies in releasing the versions of YOURSELF that hold you back from becoming the version you actually want to be

are you ready? it's ok if no is your answer lol, don't let that stop you 

this episode starts with a meditation so if that's not your jam, skip directly to where I talk about the power of release, in a minute 12

aaand there is a bonus coming with this! a workbook, you can download here , where I have written down the journaling prompts and steps to create your own releasing ritual if your soul craves to

btw if your mind is not very fond of using woo woo or witchy terminology like 'ritual', just take what feels good from this episode and leave the rest <3 

happy releasing and don't forget to click subscribe at your favourite podcast platform for upcoming parts 2 and 3!

let's talk! | schedule your time with me choosing a calendly time that fits here

can you trust your life is guiding you to your own greatness?

that you are not just guessing, definitely not being lost, in what is happening to you but instead do you believe that what is happening around you is happening for your own good? that you are perhaps ready to untangle this part of your story, learn from it and get to know yourself better?

life started to feel better when I started to think about it this way

whatever is happening now in my life I know that's exactly what I'm ready to look at and if wanted, to change, for better.

it helps me to live life more intentionally

it helps me to built my businesses more intentionally

it helps me be clear on what is the next step for me in my self discovery journey

it always starts with a feeling that one would put on the negative scale

usually it's a frustration, or an overwhelm, about what I'm dealing with and then I know in what area I need to seek change in

it's exactly the area that get's me frustrated and overwhelmed

for example, I recorded this episode few months ago, not really sure about how this will fit a plan but I went with an intuition

I talk about how I like to be supported and all the strange feelings coming up with it because i rarely meet a person who 

wants to be supported as much as I do and 

it's willing to admit it to themselves, let alone to public 😅

I talk about how I wanted to rejoin a mastermind I was a part of from before but I didn't feel that I have the budget for the next round, as well as, I wanted help with my social media but felt like my need for both of these instances is not justified

and I did it anyway. I rejoined the mastermind. and i did get a virtual assistant. it both served me a great deal in the following months (uploading this episode with about 3 months delay) but I couldn't have known this at that time.

I did it because 

1. I know that, what is currently coming up for me is something that I get to look at and unlock a new level of it, solve for myself

2. I know better than not to follow my desires

my desires, your desires, are sacred

and there is no greater instance above you telling you what you can or can not to, if you are being honest to yourself

especially if we are talking about building your own business

nobody is telling you what you can or can't do

you are the boss. quite literally. you are the only one to grant yourself the permission to go for what you want.

there is no one else to report to.

and only you know how often you are stopping yourself from getting what you want

because it's not the right time

because you 'don't deserve this' (level of support, this kindness, this amazing life)

because .... fill in what goes through your own mind.

if this sounds like you, I invite you to use these journal prompts (answer these questions) if you are wanting to understand yourself better and by doing so unlock a greater potential in you to help you skyrocket in your business.

'What do I keep complaining about for months.'

'What am I not allowing myself to have/to get.'

'What it is that I'm putting off for when I'll be earning more money, have more time on my hands.'

I guarantee you that even though your excuses now are your money situation or your time situation, things might not change as easily as you think just when you get the money, or the time.

So how about you started to look at the real reasons why you are not allowing yourself to have what you want?

i know it's scary. But you can do things scared <3

this episode came to be from a facebook live I did in my FB group when I was traveling in Europe

I talk about my 3 step process that I eventually developed for myself to accomplish everything 

from creating a life where I feel the most free ever

where I can travel for a month with a very light work schedule so I have the time to enjoy seeing my friends some of which I haven't seen for years

where I feel supported and taken care of

where I know whatever comes in my life and business I will figure it out

where I am capable of building my business further which wasn't the case always, 

there was a point in my life where I wouldn't show up much for anything and I just kept myself miserable in that way and I definitely wasn't in a place to bring any business to life, let alone enjoy the f*ck out of it as I do now 💋

where I live in a paradise that is sooo so so nurturing and beautiful and has everything I ever wanted and more

I needed to figure out a way that would work for me and I'm proud to say I did figure it out!

and now I use this for everything I do! 

whether it's a life thing or a business thing that I'm focusing on at any given moment:

1. I check my BELIEFS - are they supportive in what I want to accomplish? without supportive and empowering believes there is no will in me to action, on anything, even if my life depended on it

2. CLARITY through ACTION - I'm an over-thinker and when I'm dependant on my brain to get to any conclusion it's not happening

it's not that I'm not smart, I am actually quite smart in figuring things out, but there has to be a moment where I actually go and do stuff so I can feel into whether I liked it or not, whether I want to keep doing it or not

it's through action that I gain clarity on the thing I'm doing, if I left it for my cute logical brain it would be weighting all my options for forever (yes I'm libra, go figure 😁)

3. DESIRES are like my compass, they give meaning to everything I do and they are a motivating factor that I want to keep hanging in front of my nose and sometimes let me bite of a bit because otherwise life would suck and if I'm only gonna be rewarded at the end I can, you know what, that shit 😂

curious to know how, why and in what way? listen to this episode and be ready to laugh and be surprised and then go ahead and test it out and tweak it for yourself! it works!!!!

let me show you how to implement this in your business because if you are not getting anywhere with it I know there is a problem in one of these 3 areas and I know how to help you to fix it!

let's talk! | https://calendly.com/nikisocratous

in this episode I'm trying to explain a concept that might seem a bit backwards to you

normally you think your life will get better as you achieve more goals, reach more of your dreams 

you think you will feel better once you reach everything you set for yourself to reach 

and I'm here to tell you the opposite is true

I believe each of us have the responsibility to ourselves and to our loved ones to allow more good to come to us, to feel better and by doing so to expand our capacity for even more good to come so even achieving our goals and reaching our dreams becomes faster and easier

by allowing more goodness to flow to you, by allowing more support in your life - before you feel ready for it - you are expanding your capacity to receive more and more goodness in all areas - in your life, in your business, in your family, in your friendships

few practical examples of this would be to hire a virtual assistant BEFORE you are completely overwhelmed in your business because then you might not even have time to train them properly and you may feel like it's not worth your effort to do that, you will feel too busy to do that

maybe you need to get supported in your household to then have more energy and space to show up for your business

perhaps to have help with cleaning few times a month can support you in feeling good in your space so you are energised to 

perhaps to have help with your kids few times a month to have some alone time with your spouse will make your marriage feel like the old times

to allow more support, more feeling good BEFORE you think you are ready or need it will dramatically change your life experience and open the floodgates for more good to come

dare to try? your life and business can only get as good as you will allow it to be!

if you are an entrepreneur and want to allow yourself to have great business but feel like you need a support around that 

schedule the 1 hour Roadmap to Business on Your Own Terms call with me here https://calendly.com/nikisocratous/roadmap-call

so we can look at what is really stopping you and give you tools to change that immediately so that your business feels as great as it was meant to feel from the beginning.

curious how I run my 2 businesses while I'm in Europe for the month?

what kind of support did I get so everything that needs to happen actually happens?

why I always follow my instincts and that I hired my new virtual assistant when I WANTED to hire her, 

not only when I needed her, and how it worked for me in the best way that by the time I actually needed her, she already knew what to do?

why did I book an AirBnb for a month here although I could totally stay at my moms or at one of my friends places?

what do my bedsheets and hangers have to do with running my business on my own terms? :)

listen to this episode if you crave a permission to do things just because you deeply desire to do so, but your mind is giving you all the reasons why you shouldn't and tries to make you believe that doing what you want will be an obstacle to your success.

opposite is truth!!!

in this episode I will demonstrate how your desires always, always, always!! support your best life and business and how following them will allow you to run your business on your own terms instead of the business being the thing that runs you and your life around.

if you need extra support with running your business on your own terms or even help figuring what that would look like for you schedule the 1 hour, free of charge, Roadmap call here https://calendly.com/nikisocratous/roadmap-call 

so that you can gain the clarity you need for your business to start feel worth running!

I'm traveling and so in true fashion of creating business on my own terms todays podcast episode originated as a FB live I recorded live in my Facebook group - Life On Your Own Terms - and I'm repurposing it here so 

more humans can access it, listen to it over and over AND so I get to enjoy my travels and gather more inspiration for future podcast episodes.

What I'm going through in this episode is the 8 key mindset shifts that help me to create the business I always wanted and dreamt of.

They will be beneficial to you whether you are building a brick and mortar business or business that is based on your presence on social media. They are universal for the most part and you will need them if you ever want your business to take off.

Doesn't matter how long ago did you start your business, there is always space for being curious about what is happening in your own mind regarding your business because it is the exact thing that influences your results the most.

Here's the list:

Listen to this episode to get my stance on them, how they helped me in my own business and how these mindset shifts can help you in getting the business that you always dreamt about and can be proud of!

I'm curious to know which one really surprised you? Which one are you pulled towards to really make your own? 

DM me which one it is and I will help you to make sure you really integrate it!

If you feel called to, don't forget to share this episode with someone you really admire for creating business on their own terms <3
