If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that lack of boundaries impacts business and mission. In this episode, I give you actionable advice that you can use today to step into your power and own what you truly feel, without fear.

Holding boundaries is crucial in life and the lack of them can have a huge impact on your relationships – when you have either low or no boundaries that hugely affects your energy. 

When you fail to hold a boundary with someone, you disrespect yourself.

You disrespect your soul when you need to say something but you don’t say it; you feel an intuitive hit to speak, but when you can’t speak your truth you really feel it in your body.

Start to link your personal boundaries with your business 

If you’re an entrepreneur or business owner who operates without boundaries you’ll find it reflects hugely in your business.

When I had low self-esteem and low confidence it had an impact on my boundaries in my personal relationships. When codependency was active within my relationship my business took a huge dip in revenue – that was in direct relation to the boundaries I didn’t hold.

It would be easy for me to blame the other person, but truth is, I had to look within. I didn’t hold my boundaries because I wasn’t fully healed and I continued to be in a relationship I knew wasn’t right for me due to fear.

Your boundaries in your personal relationships impact your business, and the boundaries you hold in your friendships and with family members have an impact on your business mission.

When I coach clients and I work with people within my super high performance formula, discussions often come up around frustration in business or within relationships, and it often can be linked to the lack of boundaries they held.

Think about all the things you’ve been frustrated with and all the people you’ve blamed. Then ask yourself if you failed to set a boundary early on in the relationship and ask yourself what you should have said that you didn’t.

When you know you should say something but you don’t, and a person continues to cross the line, it will drain you and that will affect your energy. It drags you down, you create resentments and you start to beat yourself up because you know you should have taken an action, but you weren’t strong enough to.

Dial-In Your Boundaries

When you hold a boundary you use your authentic power by stepping into your truth – truth in power is key to holding your boundaries.

When you don’t make your boundaries important you’re subconsciously knocking your own confidence because you’re not speaking up

That seeps into your business and you’ll become less confident with your sales, marketing, and in yourself, leaving you feeling confused.

You start to get confused about something you think is about the business, but it’s because you have other personal things going on in respect of boundaries. That causes you to feel low in energy and have negative thought patterns in your business – most people don’t tie these things together.

When I hold a boundary I look if it’s an isolated incident or a continued behavior over time. If you’re not holding a boundary or issues aren’t addressed the person will continue to chip away at you,

When you’re looking outwards at other people and see a repeated behavior in someone else have the level of consciousness to look at how you repeat your behavior. Respect that they may need to hold boundaries with you.

You’ll better understand why that’s important and you can respect somebody that holds a boundary with you instead of getting frustrated with them.

Is Fear Holding You Back?

Are you not holding a boundary because of a fear?

Are you fed up with slimy sales strategies that don't feel good to you? Would you like to get better at selling yourself so that you can generate more business? In this episode, I talk about conscious selling and sales.

Have you learned sales but it just doesn’t feel right? Do you struggle to discuss your price or program but feel like a used car salesman?

Having a ‘conscious business’ is a term that is becoming more popular. As entrepreneurs and people in business start to grow and evolve personally, becoming a conscious leader is the most aligned way to operate in your business.

In order for you to grow your business, you need to be able to sell your services or your product. Conscious sales means you have meaningful discussions with people so you gain new clients or customers from a place of integrity.

When you are congruent with your business you can sell with confidence.  

Unlearn The Hard Sell

Because of what has been taught, especially in areas of internet marketing, there is critically important unlearning to do. You know whether the strategy you have right now feels right to you and if it feels aligned with you and your values.

As I’ve spiritually evolved as a person, I’ve let go of many of the strategies I used to implement because as my values changed they didn’t feel right to me. 

I was taught a lot about hard closing strategies for sales that I find disgusting now. When it comes to getting more clients and enrolling people using a fear strategy, people only invest because they are scared.

You have clients that don’t get results that are living in a state of fear and it ends up backfiring on you, creating problems. This is caused by the ego – your false self is driven to make so much to make money and hit a financial target that you ignore your principles.

Conscious enrollment means you’re running your business by making decisions based upon your internal voice, that tells you what feels right – if you choose not to listen to that voice, clients become a problem, they don’t get results and customers buy your product or service through manipulation.

You’re in conversations with people who you know you shouldn’t take on as clients, and your integrity is overpowered by your ego. This leads you and your client down a path that won’t turn out well. You should only enroll someone if you can provide the service they need because you want to be able to get results with people. If you don’t get results with people, that will have an impact on your confidence.

Having a conscious business is about doing things differently and about unlearning.

I spend a lot of time helping entrepreneurs listen to their inner guidance system, so they have emotional and intelligent energy around sales.

When you’re aware of how you feel and you know it’s wrong you have to take responsibility for that. It’s very easy to blame the other person for the problems they cause when you should take personal responsibility. This is something you will naturally do as you start to evolve.

Change Your Language and Boost your Confidence

If you have a certain association with sales and closing, and you struggle with confidence in sales conversations, you need to change the association you have with the language you’re using.

I don’t like the word ‘closing’ in sales; no-one wants to be closed by someone. Change your language to help with your confidence and start ‘enrolling’ people in your product. Making a mental switch will make you feel differently when you’re speaking to people.

Changing your language will boost your confidence and that will lead you to better results.

You’re probably okay having conversations with people about what you do because you’re passionate about it,...

With so much happening in the news right now I wanted to put together a short meditation that can act as a reset for you if you are being consumed by the news. Please share this with other business owners who may be going through the same!

There’s a lot of chaos happening in the world right now – I know there are a lot of entrepreneurs running businesses feeling heavy and consumed.

It’s time to reset your mind and body so you can have an amazing day, feel centered, and move forward in your mission.

Once you allow the external, chaotic noise that’s been surrounding you to dissolve, your confused, racing mind can relax. You can focus on bringing yourself back to alignment and give yourself space to feel calm and inner peace.

The feelings of love, hope, compassion, and unity come from within – when you’re calm you feel more connected to other people, their stories, and any pain they have been through.

When you’re leading from a place of empathy, you’re making a positive impact. 

Understand that you can find a place within you even at the most difficult of times and be able to ask better questions and take better actions. When you’re living from a calm compassionate place within you, you’ll make compassionate choices from a perspective that brings people together.

Stay focused no matter what you’re going through and really think about what you choose to see and hear, and how you handle that information.

Have you ever wondered why successful entrepreneurs like Richard Branson and Oprah meditate? In this episode, I'll share with you my journey of mediation and teach you a few of the things I've learned.

Meditation is becoming more popular and it’s becoming less ‘woo-woo’ – the association’s people used to have of someone sitting under a tree with closed eyes are starting to disappear.

Practicing meditation can make a positive impact on the lives of everyone, but if you’re a business owner, entrepreneurs, or leader, you can really use meditation to your advantage.

Lots of entrepreneurs and very successful billionaires are meditating. People like Richard Branson, Ray Dalio, and Oprah Winfrey attribute meditation to part of the reason they are so successful. They commit to spending quiet time with themselves each day becasue they know it helps them operate at their highest level.

Give Yourself Time

When you use the lack of time as an excuse you’re not thinking about your priorities. – it’s important to shift your perspective around meditation and time to create associations about meditation in terms of the impact on your business, your revenue, and your relationships.

One of the biggest blocks that entrepreneurs speak about is time. 

If you don’t have the time you need to look at how efficient you are throughout your day. When you go about your day feeling stressed, with important conversations and decisions to make, you want to do that from a grounded place within you so you feel calm and clear-minded, with sharpness of mind.

When you allow time each morning to meditate you’ll create a peaceful start to your day. You will go to situations feeling sharper and when you’re undertaking a task, you’ll be more efficient.

Tune In To Yourself 

When you have a lot of clutter in your mind, you operate very differently from someone who is calm and clear-minded. Going to meditation is a way to reach a level of consciousness and awareness so you’re operating at a different frequency and can become in tune with yourself.

The typical avenue for meditation is for the relief of stress. You can use meditation as a means to shift yourself to a calmer place, but you can also use it as a tool to reach high performance. 

As you gain a deeper understanding of what meditation can be used for beyond bringing you back from feeling stressed, you will want to engage in it more. Your internal calm energy will open up your creativity, help you to manage your team better, and your personal relationships will improve – this will all have a positive impact on your business.

Have You Started Yet?

You have a timeline for your business – there’s also the timeline of your meditation and how advanced you can go.

It’s important to assess where you already are with your meditations. If you have never meditated before now is a great time to reap its benefits.

If you’ve never meditated, you will learn very quickly that your mind will want to move you out of meditation – that’s because your ego, (your false part of you) will want to sabotage you. Be ready for your mind to tell you that meditation isn’t worth the time and it’s silly.

Be aware of your own mental chatter – your mind will want to take you away. It’s important to concentrate on your breathing and to leave your to-do lists for later.

You could already be using guided meditations, you listen to music or you’re already at the stage where you’re sitting in silence. Think about how frequently you meditate, how consistent you are, how deep you go, and begin to take yourself to your next level of meditation.

There are so many different ways to use meditation. It’s diverse and heart-opening.

In this episode, I wanted to share what made a really big difference for me when I was socially anxious and wanted to start to become more connected to the people around me If you're struggling with social anxiety, check out this episode.

I used to be so afraid to let other people know who I really was because I feared being judged and I didn’t want to receive negativity – I hid, shut my mouth, and I felt suppressed. I would spend a lot of time feeling anxious – I felt very unaligned internally and I knew I had issues I needed to tackle.

I had the self-awareness to notice I wanted to connect with people more, as an entrepreneur and socially, but the stories I was telling myself and my excuses were holding me back.

I knew I was creating a lot of stories in my head around why people didn’t like me. I had a real challenge with even looking people in the eye. Why? Because I didn’t want to see myself. I didn’t like what I saw in myself, and maybe I thought that they would think something about me, and it was the perfect way for me to hide.

I wanted to share my truth of who I am. It’s so important that you are true to who you are. 

Stop Hiding Behind Your Screen

A lot of entrepreneurs spend a lot of time behind their computer. You’re working hard, making money, and growing your business, but if you’re spending a lot of time behind your computer because it’s a way for you to remove yourself from the world you’re living in you’re going feel unfulfilled.

Over time you disconnect from your life more and you allow your business to become your addiction. You get wired in you really lose yourself. You lose your identity because you’re wrapped up in work.

You want to get your message out to the rest of the world, and that’s important. 

It’s amazing to put energy into growing your business. You’re an entrepreneur and you need to work hard to grow and scale, but it’s important to become self-aware around the things that can be holding you back from living a fulfilling life.

It’s easy to hide behind your screen to avoid whatever else is happening in your life but everyone needs connection. Humans thrive on it.

I Removed My Excuses

I had a desire to want to be around people and have great conversations, but there was something inside me that would sabotage that.

I noticed I had two excuses – I was busy or tired: They were perfect statements to stop me from connecting with people even when I got invitations to go to really amazing events that deep down I really wanted to attend.

Once you have self-awareness you can choose to do take action to change your situation.

I decided to call myself out on my destructive patterns. I spoke to my roommate and asked her to challenge me and call me out on my excuses.

A good mentor, coach, or friend will want to challenge you because they know you can be better and evolve. When you give someone permission to do that, you’re helping yourself to grow.

I was called out on my excuses; many times! I started to attend business and social events and I began to connect more entrepreneurs. When you start to connect and build genuine relationships, friendships, and connections you start to connect with amazing people – that’s when incredible things happen. As well as having real conversations I was building friendships and taking my business to another level.

Your business naturally starts to scale, and your business starts to grow. 

It’s Time To Show Up

When I host or attend events, my intention is to connect; conversations unfold that lead to other opportunities I would never think possible. When I stopped making excuses I started meeting other entrepreneurs and new groups of people – you never know what may come from that.

Do you want to get back into a place of flow where things are moving for you?

In this episode, I share with you how to get into aligned action so you can get more done ad be happier.

It’s very important for business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants to take action. But what is aligned action? What does that actually mean? And how do you become more aligned and take more aligned action, so you can put your message out into the world and be happier?

For many entrepreneurs, it’s hard to get into momentum, but if you identify just one thing that’s holding you back, you can begin to get back into what’s called ‘flow.’

Being in flow means you’re in your zone, doing the things you enjoy and things are starting to move for you. You feel energized, driven, and focused so you start to attract things to you more frequently. That’s an important energy for any entrepreneur to be in.

Being Stuck Sucks

It’s painful when you feel stuck. 

When you’re an entrepreneur and you can’t move, but you know you have the capability and you have gifts to offer, but for some reason, things aren’t working out, it’s frustrating for you and your business. You’ll feel blocked  – if you have a major task to complete or a project to work on, it can mean you need to battle through. Working through areas that are alien to you because we’ve not done them before can make you feel lost.

There’s always a breakthrough on the other side of a challenge.

That’s where your evolution takes place – tackling things you haven’t done before. This is when entrepreneurs move into mastery. Think of something in your life that you have mastered. What have you dedicated many hours to and seen results? Mastery is not just about hours put in, it’s about how well you generate results.

The thing you mastered took discipline, it took effort, it also took action. When it comes to aligned action, you’re pursuing activities that align with your values system. They feel light and you look forward to them. When you’re taking action that’s not aligned, it feels heavy and you may find other parts of your life start to fall apart.

Things falling apart can be a good thing, but course-correcting leads you back to where you need to be. 

I’m often course-correcting the entrepreneurs I’m working with. They may have veered off track – that can come from toxicity, distractions, or being around the wrong people. Aligned action is about values, knowing yourself, and being connected to yourself emotionally.

The Steps Of A.C.T.I.O.N.

A is about ALIGNMENT

It’s important not to create too much disruption – sometimes in business, disruption is good when it comes to areas like marketing when you’re trying to disrupt an industry and bring in innovation.

When it comes to action, efficiency is important. 

If you park your car awkwardly, you’re going to get a ticket. Why? Because your car wasn’t in alignment. Are you subconsciously or even consciously parking your own car in a ridiculous fashion causing disruption to other people?

Ensure you are lining things up as much as you can. Know your values, understand yourself, and what is guiding you from within. A lot of pain in life can be caused because you’re using things external to yourself as a driver for motivation instead of what you’re feeling internally.

For much of my life, I lived based upon extrinsic drivers and what other people wanted for me versus looking within. I didn’t know how to look inwardly – I didn’t know how to access myself and I didn’t want to feel because that was scary for me.

When you start to align, you become aware of your intrinsic drivers and begin to use your inner compass as your guiding system. That’s very powerful because it comes from ‘kno...

So one of the habits that I picked up during COVID has been a little too much morning phone usage. So I wanted to find a solution to this.

I never was a person too interested in the news, in fact, I tell my clients not to watch the news, but I recently felt I needed to learn about what was happening in the world because it was having an impact on me. I soon noticed how I was immersing myself in and looking at more news. I was losing myself in my phone watching daily news stories unfold.

As the days went by I found I was especially becoming more active on my phone when I woke in the morning. What had started as a desire to learn about what was happening in the world turned into time idly spent procrastinating on the internet.

I Had To Make A Change…

When I noticed I was spending more idle time on my phone in the morning I knew I needed to change something. I’d become agitated at the time I was losing and it was leading me to feelings of discontentment throughout my day.

I was noticing how it was affecting my productivity.

I had to make the decision to make my well being and business a priority over the mindless procrastination is was consuming myself in. One of the biggest struggles for many entrepreneurs is procrastination -it causes stress and has a negative impact on productivity, so it’s important to check in with yourself to make sure you’re using your time efficiently.

The trouble was I gave myself the excuse I needed to have my phone next to my bed – I like to optimize everything so binaural beats and meditation apps help me get to sleep and I was using my phone as an alarm clock. I decided to drop my excuses and remove my phone from my bedroom for good.

Create Better Habits

It’s important to have self-awareness of what is happening in your brain as you’re going to sleep and when you’re waking. The time in the morning between when you’re drowsy and fully awake is critical because internal programming is still happening within you when you’re half-asleep.

If you immediately jump on your phone before you’ve properly woken up you’re interfering with the natural rhythms of your mind and body. I noticed how I missed waking up feeling present and grateful and I knew I had to re-set my habits.

I wanted to stop being idle, set my morning off to a positive start, and be more efficient. 

If I moved my phone just out of reach, I knew I’d find it tempting and grab it to take it back to bed, so I decided to ban my phone from my bedroom and swap it for something to help me.

I initially looked for meditation alarm clocks; there are devices that have sleep therapy but don’t have an alarm, and light clocks wake you up with light instead of an alarm. I wanted something combined so I searched on Amazon, read a lot of reviews, and found a low-cost alarm clock that had a series of meditation sounds on it. Check it out here.

I used the new alarm for the first time last night and I just had a great night’s sleep. When I woke up, my phone was upstairs and instead of distracting myself on my phone, I woke up normally, without any distractions and without my mind being programmed by whatever I was seeing in my newsfeed straight away.

I felt completely different.

Calm Mornings Lead To Calm Days

I want to become more efficient in the time that I have. I want to be able to sleep as best I can and I want to be as productive as possible, but more importantly I want to be as calm as I can.

Think about how more peaceful your mornings will feel if you also make the decision to wake up without any distractions, have more time to gather yourself, move calmly through your morning routine, and spend time with yourself so that you can start your day from a calm, confident place.

Throughout my journey, I have forced myself to go as deep as possible as a means to grow myself and grow my businesses. In this meditation I will take you on a journey to explore the question of how deep you're willing to go to grow your enterprise.

If you want to be successful in business this meditation will really help.
