Sometimes in business, we see our competitor doing something really cool. So, we decide we probably ought to do that thing too. Or, we get some feedback that we really should be doing this, or that, because it’s an opportunity that might lead to great prosperity for our business. Or, we say we’ll do something. Go off the idea.

But then feel compelled to follow our original thought so as to stay consistent and not be flaky. All these scenarios can take us off our BIGGER course.

Here is how we know if it is not for us.

We get the ‘I don’t want to’ feeling.

When you think about doing a new thing

• Hiring that new person
• Creating that lead magnet
• Doing that Facebook live
• Starting that membership
• Running that promotion

We find ourselves digging our heels in - metaphorically - and pushing away from the very thing that we say we want.

It can be exhausting.
Pushing uphill.
Going against our grain.
Depleting our life-force particles.

It can be easy to get into a way of thinking that is full of “SHOULDS”. What we SHOULD do or what we COULD do.

Yes, you could have a membership
Yes, you could have an online course.
Yes, you could have a Virtual assistant, a lead magnet, a marketing funnel, an instagram account, facebook ads running,

You could be doing daily Facebook lives, speaking on stages, writing a book.

You could, but you don’t HAVE to.

• What to do when you find yourself ‘should-ing’ all over yourself
• My plans for getting to the other side of fatigue

What's your relationship like with your business? Does the money side of your business leave you feeling overwhelmed or confused? Do you feel like you're pushing harder and working longer but not seeing the results you'd like?

The good news is that making sense of your finances can be fun. The great news is, it's even possible to do less work in your business but make MORE money.

Our lives and our businesses are often influenced by what's going on around us, like raising young children, caring for relatives or needing to take better care of ourselves. That's why it's critical to set up a business model that allows you to earn more, without earning more being tied to your time.

And when you do this, you'll be able to change your approach to life, and to your business. Because doing LESS is how you can have more of what you want in your life.

Kate Northrup, bestselling author of Money: A Love Story and Do Less, teaches women how to have more time and make more money while feeling less stress.

According to Kate, the secret to success isn’t fitting more into your day. The secret to success is fitting more of yourself into your day.

“The energy that you bring to your work is your point of attraction.”

– Kate Northrup

Do you ever feel like you’re really lagging when it comes to getting the success you want in your business? Like others are just passing you by and you can’t seem to get a break?

Maybe you’ve been running your business for a long time but haven't seen the growth you’d hoped for. And, you have so much experience - more than some of your competitors, but they seem to be making the sales and having all the wins?

Or, maybe you’re new in business putting in a whole lot of effort BUT some days, you feel like you are going backwards?

Perhaps you want to try something new in your business, like a membership, or an online course, or a podcast, or running webinars - and it feels like you’ve left it too late.

Everybody is already doing all that.

You don’t want to be an also-ran.

You ask yourself… is there any point in playing the game at all?

I get it. I have felt that way too. Sometimes it can feel like you’ll never catch up.  But, starting out last - whether it feels like you're the last one to...

• Create a course
• Start a membership
• Try that new marketing idea
• Make a profit…
• Create a viable business model, finally...

It doesn’t mean you’ll finish last.

Listen to hear:

• How to get ahead, even if you’re late in the game
• The role of a coach in managing your mindset
• How consistent action leads to better results
• Ways to progress forward from the ‘back of the pack’
• The benefits of running your own race

After seeing comments from some of our members who were questioning their own value, I realised that while I see their potential, they were only seeing where they were falling short in business. I’ve done the same thing, many times.

Played down my wins.
Felt less than awesome.
Wished things were different,

In this episode I explain how owning your awesomeness doesn’t mean you've got it all figured out. It doesn’t mean that you get all your goals, check off all your tasks, win the awards, get the publicity, make the sales. And, it doesn’t mean that you are arrogant or full of yourself when you do celebrate your awesomeness.

Every day, I encourage women in our HerBusiness community to - start a podcast, do a Facebook live, hire support in their business, take that leap, go for that bigger job, build that membership. Because so often we don’t recognise that we actually deserve the support or the pat on the back for what we are doing - now.

Some of us have decided that we will own our awesomeness when we achieve something BIG we have set out to do. But, certifications, awards, number of staff, annual revenue figures – none of these will make you feel more whole, more smart, more confident, more awesome without you ALSO stepping into ownership of the talents, skills, strengths, experience, and knowledge that any of those achievements and accolades represent.

We, each, just need to discover and embrace how spectacular we are and what we ARE achieving as business owners.

Listen to this episode to discover:

• Three small steps you can take today to start owning your awesomeness
• How self-appreciation helps you really own your achievements
• The tall-poppy syndrome and how it keeps us from sharing our achievements
• The magic of creating something from nothing as business owners
• How to declare your awesomeness without bringing anyone else down
• Why we want to compare ourselves to who we used to be, instead of comparing ourselves to others
• Self-appreciation - the key to a successful and happy life

Feeling overwhelmed is common when you’re starting and scaling a profitable business. We’ve all been there.

When you stop worrying about things that you can’t control and zero in on what you CAN, you’ll find yourself feeling more creative, more enthusiastic, and more hopeful.

You CAN control deciding what is most important to you. What you REALLY want. When you start with a clear direction on one specific goal, you’re far more focused.
