Our thoughts are powerful and the feelings associated with these messages shape our identity – in business and in life.

There is a lot to accomplish as an entrepreneur. As visionaries, we’re not short of creative ideas and dreaming about possibilities for the future. Accompanied by the operations, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making side of the business shifting between these states can be jarring.

Yesterday was International Women’s day and I find myself having to bring my thoughts to paper. It is not what I planned for the day, but it is getting in the way of focusing on client work — so I best get it out so I can get back to the tasks at hand.

Fear of the unknown. Fear of overwhelm. Fear of not being enough. Fear of failure.  

As entrepreneurs and leaders it’s natural to experience fear.  We must trust ourselves to do the work of love so we can show up in our bodies and hearts as mindfully as possible.  It begins with our connection to self, then into the connection we have in our communities. 

For decades (centuries?) there has been an overarching methodology in place in how we accomplished and pursue success in business (I will let you define what success means to you). With just a little bit of google research you can see that in more recent times there has been a shift away from this longstanding approach.
