Are you a woman who wants it all? Start by avoiding the Superhuman Paradox - it's holding you back. Beate is the author of Happy Woman Happy World in which she shares what she has uncovered about women in the workplace. Her phrases the superhuman paradox and ego rhythm describe what happens when women aren't content and strive to be more than they are called to be. Beate shared that quite often, women are actually hurting each other versus them being hurt by men. Comparison and competition bring them down. Robyn emphasized that competition is necessary in the marketplace for people to strive to be better. In addition, if you are confident in yourself and your business, you will choose to differentiate yourself to be recognized as the go-to for your soulmate clients. There is enough work to go around and there is no reason to cut others down to try to build yourself up. When we compare ourselves, we then think we have to do more to be better than others. This is where Beate's concept of ego rhythm comes into play. Superhuman paradox The concept of superhuman paradox is that we want to be what someone else is. And you think that you come up short in comparison. But the reality is, that we all have unique gifts and talents. Women specifically have a tendency to feel like they are complete failures because they don't equate to everyone around them. Ego rhythm was created to help women understand that there are waves and seasons for life. As individuals, we have our own rhythms as our lives move through seasons - for example, the way parenting shifts as our children grow. Therefore, we need to focus on the rhythm of each season. In total there are 9 ego rhythms from motherhood, to tragedy, to love and you get to figure out where you are right now and make that rhythm the main focus. Robyn emphasized that the ego rhythm is similar to contentment. The more content we are instead of comparing our lives with others the more we will enjoy it more. Discontent is often stimulated by social media. Despite the fact that most people are only showing highlight reels of their life and business, we get sucked into comparing ourselves with them. Another reason to grow your business without social media. The internet trap of social media Internet marketing is the biggest contributing factor to the superhuman paradox. Instead of looking outward, look inward at what makes you unique and the gifts and talents God has given you and you've been called to use. When you are constantly searching outside, consuming content, you are constantly seeing what you don't have instead of focusing on what you do have. This is the real reason aren't getting results. Social media makes you want things without a plan. The best way to build a business is to create the plan and foundation first. Be clear on the consequences of the path and business model you choose because it will impact your quality of life. Stop creating unnecessary complexity. You can simplify your business and reduce complexity. Instead of always being in masculine energy, striving to be more by doing more, recognize that there is a place for femininity, softer energy, heart-centered energy, and consciousness.   Read the full show notes and access all links.   Schedule a free strategy call to learn the next best steps to grow your business without social media.
