Ever Want to Just Quit Your Biz?





MP3 File


I can hear you now … “Well, DUH, Anne, of course I do!  At least sometimes.”

 

Yeah, I get it.  There are those moments, aren’t there?

 

And yet, something  keeps you going.  Something keeps you trying.  Something keeps you taking action; it keeps you holding onto the dream.

 

What IS that something?

 

I believe it is a dream that each one of us has, one that has ahold of us and won’t let go.

 

For many, it is a dream of owning a business that brings you joy, the dream of having the freedom to create life on your terms, to have abundance to share, and the time to spend, with those you love.  A dream of a life where you are contributing to the lives of others in a powerful way.

 

Those are some powerful reasons why you would build a business such as this:  time, freedom, money, contribution.

 

So, let me ask you a question:  If you are building your business, then do you know your “why” – your reason for building it?

 

Here’s why I ask.  If you know your why, then that reason will sustain you through the “How?” moments.  You know, those moments when you can’t figure out how to do something big and you just want to say “That’s it!  I QUIT!  I am outta here!”

 

I believe that if you allow yourself to experience the breakdown (the I-wanna-quit moments) and know that on the other side of your breakdown is a breakthrough, then you’ll actually move through that temptation to quit.

 

You see, breakdowns and feeling like you want to quit are a normal part of building a business.  They are just feelings.  Feelings to move through.  (Not to give in to.)

 

You can recover from the feelings.

 

But you cannot recover from The Quit.

 

Because if you quit, then the next time you have a dream (and you will have another dream because we are dreaming beings), you will be more cynical and less believing about your ability to make that dream come true.

 

And it will be twice as hard for you to keep going when you have breakdowns.

 

So here’s a little secret to help:

 

Breakdowns are inevitable when you’re creating a dream.

 

This means that as you move through the breakdown and look for a resolution to the fear, you’ll find it.  (And you’ll get to the breakthrough much more quickly.)

Here’s the coolest thing about this:

 

Your clients and your potential clients need you to not quit.

 

They need you to find your way through the maze.  Because you finding your way will help them find their way through later on.

 

So, go find your way, tap (do EFT), get help, find someone who can help you move through the feelings, and keep going.  You will be ever so glad you did!

 

Bringing your spiritual gifts to the world in an abundant way is one of the most rewarding things you could possibly do.

 

So go.  Do what you came here to do. And celebrate that you are still holding fast to that dream and that you have what you need to do to bring it into creation!

 

It just doesn’t get any better than that.

“I don’t know what to do!”

 

I overheard this statement as I walked back into the auditorium at the event I was attending.

 

Two women were behind me discussing a coaching program that was being offered at the event.  I could still hear them talking.

 

“What are you going to do?” one asked the other.

 

“I’m not sure.  I really want to, but that’s so much money!”

 

“I know!  But I really think it will make a difference if I do it,” the first one said, finally.

 

The women sat down at my table.  I smiled and said hello, and we began to discuss the event.  They began to talk again about the coaching program and asked me if I was going to participate in it.

 

“No,” I replied.  “I have my hands full with my coach.” I smiled.  “How about you?” I asked.

 

“I really want to,” one of them replied.  “But I’m just not sure.  I mean, I really like what she’s offering, but it’s so much money!”

 

“I know something that would help.  Would you like to hear what it is?” I asked.

 

“Sure!” she said.

 

“Ok, then, close your eyes,” I began.  “And imagine that you have two roads in front of you.  One leads to the left, and one to the right.  The one leading to the left is the road of not doing the program.  The one to the right is the one of doing the program.  Now take a deep breath.  And ask yourself, which of these is the right decision?”

 

“Oh, my God!” she exclaimed.  “The one to the right!”

 

“Great!  How do you know?” I asked.

 

“Because it’s really bright and has all of these flowers that appeared.  Am I making this up?”

 

“No,” I said, “You are just connecting to your intuition as you make a decision.”

 

 

In my experience, most people don’t take the time to consciously check in with their intuition before they make a decision.  But when you do this, you give yourself a huge advantage.  Here’s why:

 

1)  You get very clear about which road or decision is the right one for you.

 

2)  You trust your decision far more, which results in a lot less energy spent second-guessing yourself.

 

3)  You discover that your world begins to flow – situations work more smoothly, the right people show up when you need them, and information shows up at the time you need it to.

 

4)  You gain confidence in yourself and in your ability to make good decisions.

 

5)  You discover that you begin to have that magnetic attractor factor that draws clients and people to you like magnets.

 

6)  Things work for you and not against you.

 

7)  Your business grows, more easily than you could imagine.

 

I could go on, but you get the idea.

 

So, next time you have a decision to make, take a moment and check in with your intuition.

 

1)  Close your eyes.

2)  Breathe deeply.

3)  Imagine your options in two (or three) roads.

4)  Ask which is the correct one for now.

5)  Wait. See which reveals itself to you.

6)  Trust what you get.

7)  Take action upon it.

 

Your intuition will never guide you wrong.  Never.  Your job is to ask, and then to recognize what it is telling you.  Then trust it enough to take action.

 

Hugs, Anne
