But why would you want to?โฃ

It would be like going up a mountain without any water. Sure, you can get to your destination - but how was the journey?โฃ
โฃ
Were you stepping more and more into your power, taking every step in stride, feeling rejuvenated and hydrated? Were you positive youโ€™d make it?โฃ
โฃ
Or were you looking around and anxiously stopping along the way, trying to preserve your energy? Did you feel scarce, anxious, and unsure? Were you constantly questioning your every move and wondering if you were gonna make it?โฃ
โฃ
No, the inner work isnโ€™t a requirement to making money in entrepreneurship. But youโ€™re here for more than just โ€œmaking moneyโ€ - this is your lifeโ€™s work. You want to grow, scale, build an empire.โฃ

And while the way youโ€™re trudging up the mountain may be working, it isnโ€™t sustainable.โฃ

But it doesnโ€™t have to be this hard. It doesnโ€™t have to take such a long time.โฃ

Every time you uncover another layer of why you feel unworthy, you remove a heavy brick from the wall of your unworthiness. You acknowledge that part of you, validate that part of you, and release - and you give yourself permission to level up.โฃ

โฃ
I wondered what it could possibly be. My hair, my face, the clothes I wore? I settled on what made sense to me - the fact that I stuttered.

I decided that this boy wouldnโ€™t like me if he got to know me, because then heโ€™d realize that I stuttered, and that was the worst thing about me.โฃ
โฃ
I carried this story with me everywhere I went. I grew up with this story.

It loomed over me like a dark cloud.โฃ

Why should I work on overcoming my inner imposter early on in my business?

When Iโ€™ve asked more seasoned entrepreneurs what they wish they focused on more in the beginning of their business, they alllll told me - ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ. โฃ
โฃ
Because, it all comes down to the beliefs you hold about yourself, the world, money, and making money, honey.โฃ
โฃ
And it all comes down to the thoughts you have, how you respond to those thoughts, and then the stories you allow your thoughts to tell you.โฃ
โฃ
When you ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต focus on mindset early on:โฃ
โฃ
โŒ youโ€™ll create limitations around what you can & cannot doโฃ
โŒ your strategy will fall flat because thereโ€™s no belief or energy in the executionโฃ

The Sneakiest Way That Imposter Syndrome Fucks You Up

When you donโ€™t feel good enough, smart enough, or competent enough, you rely on other people to show you the way and help make your decisions - like a coach, a mentor, a parent, etc.โฃ
โฃ
And because youโ€™re constantly looking to others for guidance, when it comes time to make a decision for yourselfโ€ฆ.you freeze up. You feel incapable.

You panic, and then you sit in analysis paralysis, hoping that the perfect decision will just come to you.โฃ
โฃ
You think youโ€™re learning the ropes, but what youโ€™re really learning is not to trust yourself.โฃ
โฃ
Every decision you make sets a path into motion:โฃ
โฃ
Maybe you got a degree that you donโ€™t use now, but you met the love of your life in third year.โฃ
Maybe you were in a mastermind where you were disappointed with the content, but you learned what you didnโ€™t want in a coach and it led you to hire the right one next time.โฃ
Maybe you bombed a sales call or got rejected a bunch of times, but it led you to self-awareness & self-mastery.โฃ

Shame Is Your Default Setting

So I don't know about you, but I always get my best ideas while driving!ย 

The other day while driving, I started thinking about being relatable and how I often shareย my real raw experiences with my audience.

So I never want to use really vague examples.

Whenever I'm talking about something, I use my own life and something that I've experienced and that I'm struggling with.

And even if I'm currently struggling with that, I'll be very open and transparent with my clients because I really believe that it is important and people really need to hear that they're not alone.

And that's because shame is our default setting!ย  Shame is whatย we resort to because it was how we were raised.

Aย lot of this generation was raised on shame.

I think about the time where I went to the grocery store with myย family when I was like 8 years old.ย And I stole like one of those tape gum things.

ย 

I took it out of my pocket and showed it to my sister once we got into the car.

I was like look what I did!...

And itโ€™s total bull shit.โฃ
โฃ
Listen, itโ€™s normal to feel jealous and a little competitive. That โ€œgrass is greenerโ€ type of stuff is inevitable.โฃ
โฃ
But if the compulsion to compare is so often for you, that itโ€™s getting in the way of running your business - the empathy I have for you wonโ€™t last long.โฃ
โฃ
And thatโ€™s because youโ€™re letting your ego ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ. โฃ
โฃ
If you were to really put yourself out there and hear crickets, your ego would be bruised.โฃ


If you were to really not give a f*ck what others were doing or what they thought of you, you could be susceptible to their judgement or their rejection.โฃ
โฃ
So itโ€™s easier to compare, itโ€™s easier to focus on whatโ€™s ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต working for you and what ๐˜ช๐˜ด working for them.โฃ

What If My Family & Friends Judge Me When I Start Showing Up Online?

Letโ€™s say youโ€™re a Mindset Coach who uses human design in their business.โฃ

โฃIf you grew up around people who used human design often and who thought running a coaching business from social media was the norm, you wouldnโ€™t be constantly questioning if they think what youโ€™re doing online is weird.โฃ

โฃAnd thatโ€™s because your paradigm, which is defined as a pattern of being or a model, is different than what theyโ€™re used to.

And typically, people who arenโ€™t committed to mindset work or personal development arenโ€™t actively changing their paradigm.โฃโฃย 

Thereโ€™s nothing wrong with what youโ€™re doing, itโ€™s just ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต from the paradigm that the people around you have used to.โฃย 

โฃWhen youโ€™re around people who get what youโ€™re doing, whether thatโ€™s in person or online, itโ€™s less likely youโ€™ll question if what youโ€™re doing is ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต or ๐˜ธ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.โฃ
