There are no glass ceilings

No glass ceilings. That’s the message I have for you today.

When you’re in business for yourself, your glass ceilings are self-imposed.

There is no one to “blame” but yourself.

That’s always the case, of course. We’re 100% responsible for our outcomes. No exceptions. I am. You are. We all are.

What’s stopping you?

I’ve been talking to a lot of women who want to step up to more in their business, but stop themselves.

How?

In so many different ways.

Often it looks like overcomplicating things… “I have to do this, and then this, and then this… and THEN I’ll be ready.”

Nope. You’re ready now. Go.

Often it looks like fear of being overwhelmed. (Raising my hand. I used to have this big time.)

The story goes I can’t do this *now* because it’s going to be too much work, I’m going to lose my Self and my sanity.

Nope. This is just a smoke screen. You’re ready now.

Or it can look like… I need to learn xyz before I take the next step. I need to prove to myself that I’m capable, perfect, not a fraud, know myself, am worthy, can do it on my own… *before* I get help, take that step, really go all in, etc.

Nope. The transformation happens in the action.

Stop the stories.

If you want to move through your glass ceiling…

If you want to break through your income barrier…

It starts with the awareness of the stories you’re telling yourself.

And then gently, yet firmly taking action anyway.

Do this now. :)

Today I want to encourage you to go for your dreams of having a financially successful business.

Don’t be afraid of making more money.

Don’t listen to the voices that say…

“Who are you to earn that much?”

or

“You’re going to become someone you’re not if you’re wealthy.”

Money allows you to be more of who you already are.

  • If you’re generous, it allows you to be more generous.
  • If you serve, it allows you to serve more people.
  • If you’re a teacher, it allows you to teach more.
  • If you’re an artist, it allows you to touch more people.
  • If you’re a coach, it allows you to help more people.
  • If you’re a mom, it allows you to be more as a mom.

Put your “life mask” on first. Earn great money so you can show up more powerfully as YOU in the world.

Struggling with money just limits your impact.

Is it time you earned more money?

If you’re ready to make more money right now, you’ve got to make decisions. Quickly.

I didn’t always do this. I used to ponder. Ruminate. Feel into it.

The feeling into it was not accessing my direct knowing. No.

It was really just feeling the confusion more profoundly. Spinning out. Wallowing in the hard.

There were days and weeks spent like this. There was a lot of time wasted and a lot of time spent making my business hard.

Listen… every day there are decisions that you need to make in your business. You’ve got to get good at this.

Some examples…

  • Do I raise my prices?
  • Do I invest in this technology, education, coaching?
  • Do I make this hire?
  • Do I freak out about xyz?

The list goes on and on. That’s what running your own business is all about.

You either make these decisions quickly or you don’t.

Quickly doesn’t mean without thought or without plugging into your core direct knowing.

It simply means quickly.

You’ve got to get good at this. I urge you to start now.

Why?

Because your ability to make decisions quickly is one of the biggest factors to quantum leaping your income.

Fence-sitting wastes your precious energy and time.

If you are you stuck in a cycle of research and rumination, that’s going to delay your breakthrough. Pay attention to that.

Paralysis by analysis is real. And it happens all the time, often in the most innocuous ways.

I talk about that a lot in my latest webinar: How To Break Through Your Income Barrier

What I see happening for a lot of women in business is stalling out in the decision-making process. There’s “decision fatigue” and “decision paralysis.”

Sometimes this is because you haven’t done this (whatever you’re doing in your business right now that requires a decision) before and you need guidance, expertise, and help.

That’s legit.

The quickest path to resolving this is to find a mentor. Find someone who’s walked that path before and can help you make a quick decision. This is what I do for my Bootcampers every single day. It’s why they make such fast progress.

Need that? Make the decision to get help.

Other times it’s because of subconscious beliefs that say it’s not safe to make money, it’s not safe to really shine and go for it so let’s confuse the matter and make this decision hard.

This is a clever smoke screen that your subconscious throws up to keep you from not growing and risking anything. You’ve got to take back conscious control… and you do that by making choices.

In both of these cases, you will be held back and slowed down if you don’t learn to make decisions quickly. This is a boundary issue.

It will take you longer to make more money. This is a choice.

If you want to make it easier and faster to make money, you’ve got to learn how to make it safe to decide and do that. This is essential.

This is one of the things I teach in the Business Acceleration Bootcamp.

Want to get good at this? I invite you to make the decision to join me.

Creating Time in Your Business

By Amira Alvarez We have time for everything we want to do. If you're overwhelmed with all your projects and tasks... If you're running around panicked that you're going to drop the ball... If you're stressed with too many obligations... Listen up. Yes, we all have the same 24 hours in the day.…

We have time for everything we want to do.

If you’re overwhelmed with all your projects and tasks…

If you’re running around panicked that you’re going to drop the ball…

If you’re stressed with too many obligations…

Listen up.

Yes, we all have the same 24 hours in the day. Time is time. There’s no getting around that on the material plane.

How do you create more time for yourself?

I’ll give you the answer right away.

You make DECISIONS.

By making a choice, you clear the noise in your head and you stop wasting your precious energy spinning out about not getting everything done.

Your energy is precious. Stop wasting it on beating yourself and feeling bad about your capacity and things left undone.

This is a total and utter waste of your creative capacity. This is what makes you feel like you have no time.

Once you CHOOSE, you close that energy leak and you’re off to the races.

You can then jam on all your projects and you get more done, in the same 24-hours, because you’re not slowed down by indecision, doubt, recrimination, etc.

You actualize your power through your decisions. Start making them.

I just saw a dear friend post on Facebook about a thought she was having regarding where the money to invest in your business comes from.

The first thought that came to me was: Make the money.

That’s my answer to investing in my business now.

More on this…

If I want something that I need money to obtain, like coaching, staff, software etc. I go make the money, if I don’t already have it. I make it happen for myself.

I say YES, then go make it happen.

I invest, then go make it happen.

This pre-supposes that I’ll do the work. This pre-supposes belief in myself.

This wasn’t always the case. Previously, I’d look to see if I had the money already.

“Is it here? In my bank account?”

Now, if I want it, I create it.

You can too.

This doesn’t mean spend the money, then hope to be saved. Truly. And neither am I advocating to spend money out of fear.

I’m advocating for believing in yourself and your abilities, and the power of taking action in favor of  your dreams.

Think of this pull to invest in your business as a call *to action* that your Desire is making.

Thinking traps that cause struggle

Let’s start with the premise that love, joy, peace, happiness, wholeness is our natural state.

What gets in the way? Why do we not experience this more of the time or all of the time… especially in running our business?

Our own thoughts. The dualistic mind. The ego voice.

Any time you’re not in a state of joy, you are thinking a thought that separates you from your true Self, brings you down, adds to the misery.

I realize that’s a high bar, yet it’s the truth. This is one of those things that is black and white, where there is no compromise.

Yet, given how much of the time we spend in “not joy,” it’s obvious that we spend a lot of time thinking in ways that bring us down, that “throw us out of heaven.”

Yet, for years, we have kept thinking these subtle and not so subtle thoughts that attack us.

“Do more.”

“Not good enough.”

“That wasn’t good.”

We give these thoughts license to speak to us under the premise of helping us be better, get it right, and feel good… yet all they do is bring us down.

They are not helping, yet they have fooled us into thinking that they are.

Instead, recognize them for what they are… traps. Traps that cause struggle in your business.

Instead, notice how you’re feeling and use that as a guide as to whether the thought is freeing or a trap.

Feeling joy? Keep that thought.

Feeling “non joy”? Release that thought.

Choosing is your birthright. Use it.
