What would it feel like to run your business with just a little more confidence?
What could you achieve?
What could your life and business look like?
What could be possible if your self-doubt took a back seat and your inner dreamer took the wheel?
What could be possible for YOU?
Running a business, especially one built around your creativity, calls for you to put yourself out there into the world. And with that can come ALL the fear:
What will happen if this doesn't work? Will I have to stay in (or go back to) my 9-5? Will I have a house full of products that I don't know what to do with?
What if people don't buy because my prices are too high? What if I reach out to a gallery or magazine or podcast host and they say no? What if I receive a bad review? What if somebody returns a product because they don't like it?
What will people think if I post about this on social media? Will they think I don't know what I'm talking about? Will they think I'm too old/young/fat? What if I say something that offends people? What if people don't agree with me?
What happens if this takes off? Will I have to work all the time and not get to spend time with my friends and family? Will I burn out? Will people think that I've grown too big for my boots if I start making a lot of money?

You may have tried push through it or to fix it yourself, finding the million and one articles on the internet that proclaim to tell you how to hack your way out of your procrastination, the only thing you need to know to get new habits to stick for good, five simple steps to squash your inner critic.
And sure, those tips might work for a little while... but eventually your old patterns return, and you find yourself right back where you started.
That's because you haven't addressed what's lying below all those fears, you've just tried to plaster over the cracks.
You can't change what you don't know. By building your awareness of your patterns, fears and beliefs you can begin to make choices that align with your true vision of your business.
When you are growing and expanding into the vision you have for your business, you will have to do things that feel uncomfortable. By building your bravery muscle you will begin to take consistent action and begin to change your patterns and beliefs.
These beliefs and patterns are things that you may have been carrying around with you for decades. It's not always going to feel easy to change these, so showing yourself compassion can be key to keeping you engaged even when things are hard.

Coaching is a wonderful collaborative process where we work together to tap into the resources you already have within you (even though you may not be able to see them now).
During our sessions I'll help you uncover your self-doubt patterns through a mixture of powerful questions and research-based tools. Then, we create actions and experiments for you to gently try out a new way of being, with accountability built in, so that you don't have to do this alone!
If you would like to book a (no sales pressure) call, click here. This call will give us both an opportunity to get to know each other so that you can decide if my coaching support is for you.
If calls aren't your thing but you would still like to find out more about coaching, let's exchange messages over Voxer*. Just book a 30-minute call at the link above but instead of meeting over Zoom we can exchange messages so that I can answer any of your questions
