What showing up looks like..

For the first couple of years of starting out my coaching business online, I was up to my ears in to do lists: website, posts, offerings, newsletters => an endless swell of Really Important Things to do.

All of them were rooted in a sea of fear (what if this won’t work out? What if I get it wrong? What if nobody likes it? What if nobody buys? How could they like it, I am not … [insert variation of good enough yet].

So, it may not surprise you that being in business felt like very hard work. An uphill battle against myself more than anything.

And I was mostly focussing on the to-do’s.. And trying to battle all the emotions at the same time. Because I had had a successful business offline. So it felt like I ‘just’ needed to translate what I already knew into this new domain.

You know when the results really started to come in?

When I shifted my focus to my inner work being the key work. (Though not INSTEAD OF taking actual actions.)

But being able to take actions from a state of being, that felt aligned with the results that I wanted.

So, that means deal with any anxiety or fear first, then take the action. And yes, that could take a couple of hours, before I got myself in the state I wanted. But if I managed to not let myself get distracted, stayed connected to myself and Ho’Oponopono’d until everything dropped in place for that moment – that’s when my results dramatically improved.

So, do the real work, and don’t get sucked into a forest of personal development needs first.

You don’t have to.

Stay present to what is.
Dream about what you would like.

(In my case: ease in people finding the Academy that are really supported by our offerings and having sold out groups every time.)

Notice what comes up in your system, and work with it, so it can surface and heal.

Then ask: and what do I need to do next to help this come into being?

And wait for the intuitive answer to come in.

Then act. And be surprised how much less energy it takes to get things done.

(It doesn’t necessarily involve websites or other deemed Very Important Things – even if you are working online)

Have you experienced this yet in your business?
