There's this myth in entrepreneurship: if you work

There's this myth in entrepreneurship: if you work a full-time job in addition to your own business, you're not successful.

Another myth: if you go back to a corporate career, you're a failure or your business is a failure.

As an entrepreneur who is currently job searching, I think it's time we end these myths. They are just adding to the stigma of success being defined by one definition. And the stigma of not being enough--good enough, worthy enough, etc.

I'm ready for a change. Entrepreneurship is an amazing industry, but it's very demanding. So, I'm on the job market.

Feel free to message me if my background matches any positions you know of or if you’d like to connect me with a recruiter. I'm highly interested in coaching, L&D, and recruiting.

Some people might not like that I'm sharing this, but yall would be surprised how many coaches aren't working on their own self-mastery and personal development.

I said what I said.

What could you gain from an Enneagram typing sessi

What could you gain from an Enneagram typing session? Well, if you're like Brie of @bccreative_llc, you may already know your Enneagram type and want to deep drive into subtypes.

During Brie's sessions, we worked through her subtype stackings and talked through how she can use her wings and arrow lines to be more at peace.

The Enneagram is more than a personality assessment, it's an ego structure. This allows all of us to utilize it to see our shadows so we can learn to grow and develop those areas. Not only has this been helpful for my clients like Brie, but it's greatly improved my own life.

So if you're ready to book your own Enneagram typing session, you can grab one at www.saunderssays.com/typing or go to the link in my bio (@nicolesaunderscoach). These 60-minute sessions are just $99 and you can get the specific information for your true type instead of wading through the interwebs!

What have you learned since finding your true Enneagram type?

Have you ever had these thoughts?
🧠I must be available for BLANK even though I’m running on fumes.
🧠Why is it so hard to focus on BLANK?
🧠Working on BLANK is such a time waster.
🧠How is BLANK so successful? What secret do they know that I don’t?
🧠There’s no point in doing BLANK if it isn’t done right
🧠I just need to get BLANK done and then I can relax.

These are thoughts that many of my clients have had. My job is to help them work through them and figure out the best way to tackle these perceived problems.

In my coaching, I use your Enneagram as the lens to guide you through life and business. I open you up to becoming a conscious human instead of sleepwalking through life. Consciousness, to me, means that you are aware of your specific patterns and can course-correct as needed.

For example, I react sometimes without thinking through the consequences of my actions. This is such a Type 8 behavior. So I’ve worked hard through my own coaching sessions as a client to learn to embrace light and calm. I’ve found little pockets of calm within my day and those help ground me to the present moment.

Mindfulness and being present are not only important in entrepreneurship, they are important in everyday life. Paying attention to your partner when they’re telling you something instead of thinking about that client who was rude to you earlier. Actually watching your child’s football game instead of scrolling through instagram and wondering why you haven’t booked your next client.

When we can focus and enjoy what’s right in front of us, we can be conscious humans. Conscious leaders. And that’s my goal as a coach.

Ready to wake up? I have two spots for 1:1 coaching available this month! You can find out more about my coaching with the link in my bio (@nicolesaunderscoach) or DM me. I’d love to chat!

When you get mistyped on the Enneagram, it can fee

When you get mistyped on the Enneagram, it can feel a bit frustrating. Like you don't fit in.

If you've been mistyped on the Enneagram, you're not alone.

I've shared this before but if you didn't know, many online tests are only about 65-70% accurate and some aren't even scientifically validated.

But I wanted to share some other reasons why mistyping happens.

💻 GIFS, MEMES, AND SOCIAL MEDIA
I love gifs and memes as much as any millennial, but sometimes the creators behind these fun accounts don't have the theoretical knowledge to back up their content. Plus, there's only SO MUCH content you can post in such a small space.

🤺 NOT LOOKING AT DEFENSE MECHANISMS
If you skip over these, you'll probably end up being mistyped. A key indicator of being mistyped is not identifying with the defense mechanism. For example, when I thought I was a type 4, I never felt connected with introjection. As soon as I realized I was a type 8, I knew I could live in denial all day long. And I can think of very specific instances where denial occurred.

🤨 NOT LOOKING AT THE WHY AND FOCUSING ON THE WHAT
Many entrepreneurs end up being mistyped because they look like they want to be successful. They look like they are chasing achievements (Type 3). But the truth is, they could be chasing success for security or competence. There are many reasons why people do the things they do. When you find out the WHY behind it, that's when you'll land on your true type.

Again, if you've mistyped on the Enneagram, you're not alone. I mistyped as a 4 and I'm actually an 8. My husband took the online test multiple times and typed as a 2, but he's actually a 9.

So... what's your Enneagram? Because I'm curious!!

🎊 Cue the confetti! I'm officially a CERTIFIED

🎊 Cue the confetti! I'm officially a CERTIFIED Enneagram Coach! 🎊

I had former coaches and even business friends tell me that I didn't *need* a certification. They said I knew enough and that my master's degree set me apart from others in this industry.

But I felt the call and I trusted. I followed my intuition and invested into a certification program for Enneagram Coaching. And I have never felt so much joy in my business. This program gave me more than I ever thought I wanted or needed.

In January, I completely trashed my old business. I literally threw it away and took it to the dump. Saying goodbye to clients I had served for over two years to pivot into coaching was bittersweet... I'd be lying if I said it was easy, but it has been damn well worth it.

I am so freaking pumped to continue my own personal and professional growth as a coach. I can't wait to make a bigger impact in the lives of my clients!

Will you help me celebrate? Leave me some love and cheer me on!!!

Do you know about defense mechanisms? Each Enneagr

Do you know about defense mechanisms? Each Enneagram type relies on a defense mechanism to safeguard their ego and keep it in place.

Defense mechanisms were developed during childhood to help protect us. It could be that we needed protection from an overbearing parent. Or it could be that we had an absent parent.

Regardless of the experience we had as children, these defense mechanisms may not be serving us in the highest good today. And without deep self-awareness, we lean on these defense mechanisms unconsciously. This happens unconsciously because our minds want to hold the ego in place.

As an Enneagram 8, my defense mechanism is denial. I deny that I have vulnerabilities. For example, if I am changing a tire on my vehicle I will refuse to ask my husband for help because then I look like I’m weak in either knowledge or I am weak physically. I’d rather sit out there for three hours and attempt to do it before I ask for help.

It is easy to see how the denial of Enneagram type 8 is holding the ego of “the powerful person” in place. If I had asked for help, it would have given my power away. But what if I actually empowered my husband by asking him for the help to change that dang tire? And what if I don’t need to always be powerful?

It’s funny how defense mechanisms help us play our roles in the world. We play the role that the world wants us to be. But, dammit, that’s so tiring. What if we let go of the facade, the mask, the ego, the defense mechanism? Would we then be able to fully embrace who we truly are?

How would it feel to embrace the true self? The weirdo inside of us? Could we celebrate our uniqueness?

That’s one of the many reasons why I love the Enneagram. It helps us come back home to our true selves. We get to wake up and quit going through life on autopilot.
