Exhaustion, indecision, not being truly seen as the brilliant, powerful woman that you are.

A Secret About 7-Figure Business Owners

By Amira Alvarez

I pay a lot of attention to what über successful business owners do. I’m going to share a little secret that not a lot of them talk about…

The people who are really serious about making a significant difference in the world by making significant money in their businesses, the 7-figure purposeful business owners… they’re spending just as much money on mindset work as they are on strategy.

Yup. They know that every time they’re on their growth edge and taking it to the next level… it’s “new level, new devil.” This is why it’s essential to get the mindset help. (And yes, sometimes it’s “new level, same devil,” but let’s aim to avoid that, right?)

They know that business strategy alone, without the right mindset support, just means there’s going to be a whole lot more struggle and hard as they go for their next level dream.

They refuse to let that be their destiny.

They look at their results and appreciate what they’ve achieved. They also look at their results, and because they have a BIG purpose, they recognize that they could be doing even more… and doing it more easily.

Since they have good business acumen, they ask… why aren’t they getting to the next level of income or reach? Why are they facing the same issues around cash flow, team, feeling supported, reaching their ideal clients?

The answer is often INNER GAME. And they know this.

If you don’t clear the blocks on the inside, you can’t see the opportunities that are right in front of you, much less take action on business advice. Your mindset will blind you to what’s right in front of you or fear will stop you from taking action on the opportunity.

But once you identify and gently transform the mindsets that are keeping you stuck… opportunities become visible, and action becomes easy.

Let me give you an example. (This example is a composite of many client experiences. It comes up so often it’s truly amazing.)

Say you’re ready to hire someone to support you in some aspect of your company.

You really need that support, that area of your business taken care of so that you can go off and do your genius work.

But what keeps happening?

The people you hire let you down. They drop the ball, don’t do it how you want it done, can’t work independently or at the level you want them to…and it’s causing you more headaches than help.

You start feeling like you’re all alone in this, held back, that you have to do everything yourself, and that no one supports you. This spirals down to thinking that the world is against you. Ugh!

This is NOT a power position. Trust me–I know from personal experience! And it’s such a common pattern for highly ambitious women.

But you know what? For us to shine in the world, we need to feel supported. This is one of the keys to feminine leadership.

Allow yourself to be supported.

How do you do that? You transform the stories around this–your mindsets and beliefs.

So even though this appears to be about staffing, it’s really about feeling safe and supported in the world. Whoa!

This usually means digging into the relationships that seemingly don’t relate to your business (partners, parents, siblings.) I’ve done this with many clients (and myself) and you know what happens when you do this? Magic.

You are able to recognize and receive support in such a profound way, and you have this as such a solid foundation, you can then step forth into more.

You need both… the business solutions and the mindset.

The purposeful, 6 and 7-figure business owner decides to take an easier path, by deciding to invest deeply in mindset work, as well as business strategies.

This so important for female entrepreneurs and leaders in particular.

In order to step into a new paradigm of feminine leadership–one that prioritizes ease and grace–you must release the beliefs that drive actions that no longer serve you.

Enough of the patterns that lead to over-striving, over-doing, and overwhelm.

Enough of the beliefs that cause worry and the grind-it-out-push-style of building a business.

This is not how you bring your work and your message to the world. It’s no longer effective and is counter to your energy as a woman.

It’s time to release the thoughts and habits that are holding you back and transcend the old models for achieving success.

I invite you to stand in your power with no apologies and bring YOU to the world in a bigger way.

Amira
