The Treasures Within

For a year now, I knew that I was building the wrong business. I started The Treasures Within because I wanted to help women find their purpose and help them overcome all the limiting beliefs and stories that were holding them back from pursuing it.

And yet, somewhere along the line, I went down the business coaching path. Because it was easier. Because I had no degree in psychology, but plenty of business experience that made me feel qualified to help women with business strategies - even though my heart wasn’t in it.

Yep, I had a massive case of imposter syndrome. 

Can you relate to that? Have you ever shrank your dreams and pursued what seemed easy, logical, or realistic instead of doing the work you’re truly meant to be doing in the world?

In the episode, I talk about how I pivoted my business back to its original mission and why healing those limiting beliefs and stories (hello imposter syndrome!) that tell you you can’t do something is key to business success.

I also share an exciting opportunity to be part of a case study for the Limitless Fempreneur programme. If you’re an ambitious, purpose-driven female entrepreneur stuck in hustle mode and working yourself to burnout without seeing the results you want, and you’re ready to transform your mindset so you can finally reach the big business and income goals that have eluded you up until now, this is your one-off opportunity to do this powerful work at a ridiculous crazy price(when I officially launch this programme next year, the price will likely double!).

I only have 6 spots available for this opportunity and they’ll go fast, so email me at [email protected] with the words “case study” for more details and I’ll get back in touch ASAP.

Life is full of challenges. When faced with one, you can either give up and go back to the safety of your comfort zone… or you can face it and emerge stronger and in a better place than you were before.

It’s your level of resilience that helps you push through life’s challenges and determines how quickly you get back up. So how do you get more resilient?

One of the habits of resilient entrepreneurs is not believing their inner critic and not buying into the negative stories it tells you - they know they’re not true. 

“And then on the negative emotion side of it, what am I making this mean about me? Because nothing really has meaning unless we give it meaning.” - Kimberly Smith

Kimberly Smith is the founder of Encompass Life Coaching, an internationally certified Life, Career, & Business Coach, specializing in mindset, stress management, and resilience. 

Through coaching services, speaking, and writing, Kimberly helps busy women, mothers, and entrepreneurs stop stressing and focus, so they can flourish within their careers, families, businesses, and relationships.

Are you working yourself to burnout, trying to implement all the strategies the gurus tell you you absolutely need in order to be successful, and yet nothing’s working?

You’re not getting more clients. You’re not making more money. You’re not even doing the work you love and that made you start your business in the first place. 

It’s overwhelming. And frustrating.

I found myself in that same place last month. That’s when my coach, Florence Andrews, gave me a challenge that turned things around in just a couple of weeks and lead to me having my biggest month since I started my coaching business.

In this podcast episode, I share exactly what I’ve done to achieve it (spoiler alert: I did the exact opposite of what all the gurus tell you to…).

• How I developed the “you need to work hard to be successful” limiting belief. [01:44]
• What I did when I realised that, despite having all the right strategies, my business wasn’t growing. [03:38]
• The life-changing leadership training I took last summer - and how it transformed everything for me. [05:25]
• Using work to avoid feeling your feelings when you go through a hard time. [08:55]
• The challenge my coach, Florence Andrews, gave me that helped me grow my business. [10:33]
• How I had my biggest month in my coaching business so far. [13:52]

When it comes to business and photography, Saskia Albers believes it’s all about being yourself:

For her branding she aims to capture the people behind the business in an authentic and natural way. Trying to capture their story in a visually striking way.

“It's much harder, I think, to get new clients every time than to, you know, have really lovely clients who like all the services you provide.”

“We never realize actually the biggest gifts that our business is giving us is that it's teaching us to prioritize ourselves. ”

“You're not a separate person, so. Whatever blocks or things that are in your normal life, they will show up in your business.”

“It's unnecessary to limit yourself in that way. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, people say it's good to niche down and things like that, and that can be great. But yeah, if that's not for you, then, then definitely don't do it."
