I SHARE SECRETS!!

😍What if the road to your success started with

😍What if the road to your success started with you, your personality, and how you feel first? 😍

Imagine, right?

We’re all here in the online space, building businesses that are supposed to be dreamy, interesting, and something that we’re totally in love with…

And yet…

We’re over here burnt the hell out and researching as much as we can to figure out a better way.

👉 The thing is...we’re still constantly searching for the answer outside of ourselves instead of looking at ourselves as the ultimate guide that can utilize outside resources as a way to dig deep while still checking those resources against ourselves and who we are.

But to do that, you have to know who you are.

When I pivoted into business coaching I really wanted to be a business coach that focuses on the person in front of me so I could help them craft, build, grow, and scale their business based on their personality type.

If we start with your personality first then the rest becomes actionable resources to build your business (or rejuvenate your current biz) in a way that’s fully intertwined with YOU!

Do you know what your gifts, strengths, and weaknesses are in business? Big questions, I know, but I would rather dig down deep than stay on the surface!

🤪Are you so bored in your own business that you

🤪Are you so bored in your own business that you’re wishing that you wouldn’t have built it? 🤪

I know!!!! Ouch!!!!

But let’s get real. I’d rather get real and go deep with you than stay on the surface.

The success you’ve had in your business can be and feel superificial if you’re not deeply rooted and emotionally connected to the business you built and the work you’re doing.

👀Let’s peek through how each enneagram type MAY be responding to boredom 👀

What’s your enneagram type? Don’t forget the wing!! Tell me if you relate to this and if you’ve felt the pinch of boredom in your biz before!

Don’t let the internet fool you! Every entrepren

Don’t let the internet fool you! Every entrepreneur gets sneaked up on by these same things…🤨

You know the things. The things that keep us from working on our business with joy, peace, and fulfillment.

The things that make us feel like we’re all alone in this entrepreneurial journey.

What are the things?

👉Imposter syndrome
👉Shiny object syndrome
👉Self-sabotage

The thing is we all combat these same things in different ways. Well, we should, anyway. Our personalities are all very different and y’all know that I’m forever talking about the #enneagram because it’s been the key for me to unlock doors that have been sealed shut in my life and business!!

Which one of these sneaks up on you the most as an entrepreneur and how do you combat them?? Do you know how to combat them specifically for your personality type??

Four things you could change in your business...

Four things you could change in your business...

Are you ready for it? They’re heavy-hitters and maybe you’ve thought about them a little bit before...Let me know in the comments which one of these you want to focus on shifting in the next month in your business!

👇Four things you could change in your biz if you chose to👇

1️⃣How much you charge for your expertise
2️⃣How you offer yourself to your clients
3️⃣How and when you'll be available
4️⃣How you are to be treated by your clients

Are you noticing a certain element to all of these? Boundaries.

“You get a boundary, you get a boundary, and you get a boundary!” *Imagine this one in Oprah’s voice as she throws boundaries around to the audience as though they’re free gifts under everyone’s chair in the audience.* 🤣

The thing is that you’re the CEO in your business, but most of us come from working at jobs where our boundaries weren’t thought about and certainly weren’t protected or respected.

Now, in the CEO role...you get to choose your boundaries and you get to structure your value into packages to serve your clients well (we’re talking luxury-style-well), but you’re also able to say…

👉“No”
👉“I hear you and respect that your budget doesn’t quite align for this package...let me recommend you to someone that can serve you!”
👉“I’m unavailable on the weekends and will not check my email until Monday.”

Do you feel like there are some boundaries you want to work on in your biz?

😅How many things are you doing in your business

😅How many things are you doing in your business that you think you’re supposed to be doing vs. taking action on the things that would actually move your business forward? 😅

I shared @shophillsidestudio’s experience with y’all before, but her story is one of my favorites because I’m ALL about transformation and moving the business forward, while letting go of the things that don’t need to be focused on anymore.

👉 If a task is on your to-do list that’s mundane, not bringing profit into the business, or isn’t connecting you with a potential human that you can serve with your expertise and offer-suite...then it may not be the task that you need to focus on to move the business forward.

The thing is as women entrepreneurs we hone in on doing it all, doing it all well, and doing it with a smile on our face. And...that’s not alignment.

That’s not true alignment with ourselves, our personalities, or our businesses.

Kristin of @shophillsidestudio went from being overwhelmed with the mundane tasks of owning a business to super focused on strategic actions that would move her business forward.

So, I’m wondering...what's on your to-do list that appears to be a task to move your business forward...but really isn't worth your time or energy? Dish the details because I LOVE THEM! 🙋‍♀️

✖️Unpopular opinion: Let’s stop with the mot

✖️Unpopular opinion: Let’s stop with the motivational entrepreneurship quotes. You know the ones like, "we all have the same hours in a day as Beyonce."✖️

It’s causing us more harm than good and we may not even be realizing it.

What are some of the “motivational” entrepreneurship quotes that have stuck with you?

👉Are they doing something FOR you or are they keeping you in a box of shame and guilt?

Here’s the thing: I’m not disputing that we don’t have the same hours in a day as Beyonce, but we don’t have all of the access to the things that Beyonce has access to. I made a whole @youtube video about it and you can listen to it via the link in my bio if you’d like!

But...I want to know: do those “motivational” quotes get you going in a good way or a bad way? Have you ever thought about what might be happening in our psyche by consuming those quotes?👇

"You need to smile more." Yep. One of my own soror

"You need to smile more." Yep. One of my own sorority sisters told me this once.

I shared the full story with my email list today, but here's the gist of it...

I was chapter president and I had a severe case of RBF along with little self-awareness as a 21-year-old college student. I didn't know that I was an Enneagram 4 at the time, but I knew that fake smiling felt unauthentic to me. So, I didn't smile unless I was happy, laughing, or truly felt like smiling for some reason.

If I would have known about the Enneagram back then, I could have known how I was coming across to the rest of my chapter sisters. I could have saved a lot of heartache and strain on friendships. Being a 4w3 with a 1:1 subtype, I'm even more competitive than our favorite 8's. So, you know I was super focused on following the rules and making sure we were the best chapter on campus!

That self-awareness was missing. Not just from myself, but my sisters too. If we all could have known about the Enneagram, I know without a doubt that we would have been a more cohesive chapter. We would have trusted and understood each other more.

And what's one key to business? Self-awareness.

Let's build your self-awareness as well as your understanding of all 9 Enneagram types this summer. Join me for Enneapreneur! Today is the LAST DAY to register! You can hit that link in my bio or DM me for info!

Don't end up having someone tell you that "you need to smile more." It's really not cool.
