Looking back at 2021, here are the lessons that stick out to me the most:
1. Inner work is work too. Some days you’ll only have the emotional and mental capacity to go to therapy, to journal through your shadows, to deconstruct limiting beliefs, to have a healing breathwork session. Not all days of work in your business will look administrative or productive on paper BUT I assure you, prioritizing your healing will accelerate your growth in business more than ANYTHING else. Take it from me.
2. And on THAT NOTE. It’s OK to take intentional breaks from inner work, too. We take vacations and weekends off from our day jobs and inner work is no exception- your rest is just as important from your work, so if you’re not CONSTANTLY digging into childhood trauma, limiting beliefs, and journal prompts- thats A-OKAY. You deserve rest, babe.
3. “Win or lose” in business is a myth. It’s always “win or learn.” Reframing failure and success has been a game changer for me in business. Now I know there are no “wrongs”. I take more risks now, I treat everything like a big, fun experiment. If things don’t work out the way I expected- it’s an opportunity to surrender, to learn, to grow, to pivot.
4. The ebb and flow of entrepreneurship is worth the freedom and flexibility. There are pros and cons to every job. As an entrepreneur, you’ll have milestone months financially, and you’ll have all-time-low months. At the end of the day, being your own boss, choosing your schedule, having unlimited vaca is worth it all.
5. Your customers are intuitive and know when you’re pushing sales out of fear. Lead with service. Anytime I launched because I needed money, I made 0 sales. Anytime I launched because I was on fu***ng FIRE with excitement for what I had to offer, I sold out.
6. Following your strategy and authority is your business blueprint to success. All that generalized sales and business info out there is bulls**t. It is distracting you from the inner navigation system you were gifted from the universe- get in touch with your human design and follow your strategy and authority loyally. Thank me later.
