BOOK A CONSULT

Investing from your future self

The first consult I ever booked for business mindset coaching....
I was so scared.
I knew I wanted help. To get there. To be able to create the dreams I so badly wanted and saw others achieving so easily online.
So when I found the right coach I had that pull...
I stalked her a while.
Read her website a million times.
Click book now and then exited quickly after.
And finally, after months, I actually scheduled a call...
Despite being a coach with paid clients, I had only held a handful of consults and to be honest, I didn't love doing them back then. They felt convincey, like I had to prove myself, and they would probably say it's too expensive anyway. I was always so surprised when a client said yes to working with me lol.
So yeah, I badly needed a coach. Because despite doing all the right things like finally sharing stuff on IG, choosing some colours I didn't hate, and having a course idea laid out with a bunch of payment options, a rough idea of my niche and a fresh pdf confirming I was in fact certified to do this. Well, as you can probably tell, I had a long way to go.
As I look at fresher-coach version of me, I have so much love and respect for her, because I see her ambition, her desire and also... her fear.
I see how she so badly wanted out of the 9to5 and to be travelling and serving clients globally. I remember too clearly how much time I lost ruminating over whether to quit my 9to5 or not.
So when I found that coach, I was excited and scared.
And when she said to me, do you want this? I hesitated, and said, I'm not ready.
I told her I would figure it out alone...
Do the basics first then hire a coach....
I didn't invest that day.
Oof, I feel like I'm watching a movie right now yelling at the screen lol.
This is the ironic thing.
Instead, I invested another 6 months of my time and energy doing it alone and going nowhere. Despite any financial achievements it still felt hard and I still hadn't quit my 9to5 by then. So, if I could go back and do it again I would have done it very differently. Because, if my time and energy were going to be spent anyway, I may as well do it in a way that actually creates massive results....Let me explain...
1. You're not just an employee anymore
My current self got me this far. I love her for that but if I'm being honest, the career ladder journey was always a fight. Every promotion was hard earned. Every new job was an escape from the last. Or at least, it felt that way. Maybe you can relate...Now I've left my corporate career and stepped onto a journey of entrepreneurship I refuse to let it be like that.
I am not here to fight my way to every new income level, to proving my worth, or hope someone hires me. I am here to enjoy the journey and make the growth such a hell yes, that the money is a no brainer, and alas, it truly is.
Every new goal I reach is achieved through expansion and possibility. I quickly realised if I'm going to do this my way it has to be with a CEO mindset, not an employee mindset. So must you, if you are to enjoy the journey.
Entrepreneurship is an entirely different paradigm and way of thinking and being. Having a coach to guide you through that is frankly, a game changer.
2. Invest from your future self, not your fear.
Investments are made from my future self now, not my fear. My future self is the highest potential version of me, she has achieved my desires, and she is the version of me who has what she wants and simply needs current me to take the steps to get there.
This is how I make my success inevitable and how you can too.
That coach I didn't invest with - that was me operating from my fear. In the end I'm glad I didn't go ahead because I trust this was a lesson I needed to learn, but if I could do it again, I would have asked myself who do I want to be and where do I want to go, and what would that version of me have to say about this investment?
Now when I invest, I never do it from fear or on a bad day. I do it when I'm feeling expansive, ready, committed. The financial and energetic investment hits completely differently that way and I'm here for it.
3. It's way more than just one limiting belief.
This awareness hit me early on and was verified very fucking quickly. I'm sure it did for you too and if not yet, then brace yourself...
Beliefs are just thoughts we think on repeat - you know that. So that also means whilst we can and do heal core wounds and limiting beliefs, there is just as much power in watching the thoughts you think every moment of every day as well.
Spending money? Watch your thoughts. Looking at the restaurant menu and filtering by price? Watch your thoughts. Sharing a post? Watch your thoughts. Thinking about where your next client is coming from? Watch your thoughts. Deciding on the best price for your coaching program? Watch your thoughts.
Why? Because these are the building blocks of your reality.
Think of a limiting belief as a main support beam in your house. Sure that holds everything else up. But it's the bricks and windows, and interior that make it your personal flavour that's unlike anyone else's home. These are your every day thoughts. Each facet of your life, career, business is a room in that home. Is it a mess, cluttered and dated? Are you doubting yourself, comparing to others, expecting the worst, worrying about judgement or being found out? Or does being there light you up, expand you and nourish you? Do your thoughts leave you feeling confident, expansive, capable and worthy? I help you help you manage your thoughts, not just your beliefs.
4. Why go solo when two is way more fun?
Yes, double entendre intended you filthy animal...😉
But seriously now, the fundamentals are everything. The foundations you set up now can set you up for life. I'm not just talking about strategy, sales, marketing, consults, or niching. I'm talking about the way you evaluate and celebrate your business. How you think and feel about your life, 9to5 and business. I'm talking about the habits and spiritual practices you have, the boundaries you set and the way you uphold them. Your self concept as a business woman and coach. Your ability to listen to your intuition and act on it. To self regulate, rest and heal, AND still show up when the going gets tough.
With me as your coach, you get someone to guide you and witness you, who gets it like no other, can lovingly challenge you, hold you accountable and cheerlead you. Most of all, we have a lot of fun on the journey...
