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. :)

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.

It’s bad business to have a so-so love relationship – here’s why.

You may want to separate them and see them as completely separate entities that don't impact each other. You may even dive into your business as a way to escape your relationship issues.

You may want to compartmentalize your business and your primary love relationship.

You may want to separate them and see them as completely separate entities that don’t impact each other.

You may even dive into your business as a way to escape your relationship issues.

But this usually comes back to bite you.

You see… all of this “management” (and yes, ignoring this issue is a type of management) is using up precious energy… this is energy that you could be putting toward creating what you truly desire in your life and your business.

If your relationship is falling apart, or even just slightly irritating, unsatisfying, or blah… it drains you of energy.

This is energy you could be putting toward your business or the other passions in your life. This is a total waste, not to mention heart breaking in the relationship department.

I’ve spent many a coaching call helping powerful, brilliant, soulful women align in the relationship department so they can show up full out in their business. It’s so critical to your success and happiness. You have to approach healing relationships in a revolutionary way.

How will you approach your relationships (love, friendships, business) from now on?

Inner Energy

Wanting to be successful? That’s just another name for wanting what’s already yours. What’s getting in your way?

Do you know where your freedom lies?

Business doesn’t have to be a struggle or hard. You can make it that way, of course. But why would you when it can be so much easier?

This is what I love to teach people. And when they “get it” there’s a huge healing.

Both of my grandmothers were healers. I’m finally getting that in addition to being a teacher and a coach, I’m a healer. Of the spirit. It’s part of my lineage, though I’ve had to come to it on my own.

So many of my clients have said, “it’s like inner energy surgery” or “Spiritual surgery” and it’s true. And now I need to own that fully.

The healing is what allows for the ease in creating the outer world success, the doubling or tripling of your income, the more clients, more cash, all of that.

This is what I facilitate and what I am now claiming more fully.

Feels amazing.
