Progress On Your Terms
The last few years of my business have been an amazing learning experience. It started back in 2021, when I signed up for three back-to-back multi thousand dollar coaching programs. I wanted to get better (and more profitable) at business, and I was ready to invest in myself.
The coaches promised the tools and guidance to have a profitable business by the end of the container. I’d had my own business for years, it was paying the bills, but I felt it wasn’t thriving the way I wanted it to. We were shown many stories of people that had succeeded after taking their program. I felt excited to learn and implement a tried and true process so I could reach a new level of success. I didn’t have to figure it out in my own! They had figured it out, right? I could just do what they said and be another one of their success stories?! Well… not quite.
I’ll clarify I don’t have any resentment or regrets about these experiences. I learned. I grew. I understood what didn’t work and why. I learned the value of investing in myself, and now I can apply that to my business. Those are all wins. But before I turned them into wins, they felt like failures. I hustled and pushed myself to do things the way I was shown. Just follow the system and it all turns to gold... but when it didn’t work for me I second guessed myself and my ability to succeed at the level I was craving. I talked to A LOT of people who it wasn’t working for either… I was intrigued.
Later that year I discovered Human Design. I learned about my energy type, how I work best, how to know what is a “yes” and what is a “no” for me, the types of people I can help the most and how… I was fascinated! And then it clicked. The reason those programs didn’t work for me was because I was trying to work a system that did not align with how I am designed. The “one size fits all” approach assumes we’re all at the same place, have the same levels of energy, tech abilities, desires, definitions of success, etc.
The more I understood my Human Design, the more permission I gave myself to just do me, not to try to fit a round peg in a square hole. The more I worked with clients, I saw I could help them structure their business in a way that worked best for them too. I felt relieved. I started to honor my capacity. I started saying “no” to opportunities that were not a good fit. I started to rest more. I stopped doing EVERYTHING I was “supposed” to do in my business. And guess what? I started working less and earning more. Oh hey! Then I started to help others do the same. Oh dang, I’m onto something here!!! Honoring my design was the key to my success?! Okay!
That’s where it all started. Understanding myself better, to help others understand themselves better and a grow business that works for YOU… your wants, your desires, your design. Boom! That’s why when I work with clients, I don’t impose my way. I show you ways that make it possible to enjoy both fulfillment and success on your terms - without pushing through strategies that simply don’t work for how you’re designed and how you want to live.
That’s where the magic happens 💫
