Ever wonder “Am I good enough to do my work?”

A spiritual entrepreneur recently had her Divine Business Angel Reading, and in it, an issue surfaced that she was struggling with.  What is so great about this issue is that I’ve heard others share with me that they, too, have struggled with it.  So I thought I’d pass it on to you here, today… and so you could learn what the Angels told her!

 

Question:

I feel like I should be doing the work I’m doing, and I am building my business.  But I get stopped all the time when doubt creeps in. 

I start to do something (marketing, create something, etc.), and then I start to second-guess myself. 

I begin to wonder, really, if I’m good enough to do this work at all, that maybe I shouldn’t be trying so hard, or maybe I really don’t know what I’m doing, and so on.

Once that happens, it takes me a while to get past it and feel confident enough to get started again.

 

Answer:

You’re not alone.  As a matter of fact, this happens to pretty much everyone.  Until you learn to focus better on that which you desire, you will experience the results that doubt causes in your business.

It stops you. Smack in your tracks. And keeps you from moving forward.

From the moment you begin to doubt yourself, you allow the element of safety to arise. For isn’t doubt all about staying safe? About not taking risks? About being afraid of what will happen if you take a certain action?

And your business stalls. Your income stalls. Your movement stalls.

And you don’t get your gifts out into the world in the way you intend. Or the way that God intended. The way you ache to. The way you know you can. The way you know you are called to do.

Doubt is very powerful. But it doesn’t have to own you.

The more you have practiced the experience of doubt, the stronger it will be. So, please know that if you have been a strong practitioner of doubt, you now need to become a strong practitioner of faith.

If you wish to eliminate doubt from your experience then you must begin to recognize when you have choose to let it in. And then demand it leave. Your declaration and intention will remove it from your experience.

But you must recognize when it is knocking at the door. And refuse to answer.

It is up to you. (And that’s great news!)

Doubt is simply a practiced thought. Faith can be your practiced thought. The good news is: you get to choose.

 

Now go get your Divine ON!

Is It My Intuition or My Subconscious?

On a call recently, an intuitive entrepreneur asked me this question.  It was so good, I thought I’d share it with you all. 

 

Question:

Sometimes I feel guided to do something, but then I can think of all the reasons why I shouldn’t.  I just can’t figure out if it’s my intuition warning me not to do what I think I feel guided to do or if it’s my ego and fear.  How can I tell the difference?

 

Answer:

What a fabulous question!  I hear this one all the time!  Intuitives find themselves in this situation often, especially when it comes to stepping outside their comfort zone to do something new.

 

It would seem it’s a conundrum.  You get the guidance to do something, but then all sorts of things happen (or all kinds of feelings arise) and you think “Well, I must have gotten that wrong!” and so you don’t take the action.

 

Here’s the truth:  when you feel guided to do something, do it.  Trust the guidance.  Even if it doesn’t make sense (especially to someone else).

 

The things that show up do so to keep you stuck where you are. 

 

  • Because if you don’t follow your guidance, then you won’t move forward, will you? 
  • If you don’t follow your guidance, you won’t take that quantum leap you know is right for you. 
  • If you don’t follow your guidance, you won’t buy that special item you feel guided to buy.

 

If something is put upon your heart to do or get, then it is put there by the Divine.  Trust it.  Even if you don’t understand it.

 

  • Because you don’t know with the understanding you have right now what you are going to receive from taking that action. 
  • You don’t know what level of confidence you will get from following your guidance. 
  • You don’t know what level of faith you are growing (that will serve you in myriad other ways) because you exercised it in this situation.

 

The things that show up for you are your own blocks.  They are your fears showing up in expression.  They are your “yeah, but” manifestations. 

 

  • If you can begin to recognize the still small voice inside…
  • if you can begin to fully trust the still small voice inside…
  • if you can begin to totally listen to the still small voice inside…

 

then your life and your business will never be the same again. 

 

When you trust your inner guidance by following and taking action on that guidance, your ability to manifest what you want is quickly developed.

 

Now that’s a really great reason to trust, don’t you think?

 

 

Now go get your Divine ON!

Eliminating Impatience & Developing Trust in Your Intuition

 


MP3 File

 

Many gifted healers ache to bring their gifts to the world, but then find themselves stuck when it comes to marketing those gifts.

 

In coaching these dedicated, spiritual entrepreneurs, it is clear to me that their marketing challenges occur because they are unclear about one of the following three elements:  their message, their market (whom they are serving), or their media (the vehicle through which they are conveying their message).

 

If your message is not clear – if the people you are meant to serve do not even know what you are offering, then how can they decide that they need you and want to work with you?

 

In addition if you are not clear about who your market is (or what your niche is), then it is very difficult to find the people to even share your message with them.  And let’s not even talk about the media!

 

Marketing always starts with knowing what your business’s message is – what your message to the world is.  But here’s the thing — you can’t figure out your message to the world unless you know why you’re in business to begin with, can you?  (We’ll work on your message in the future.  For now, let’s just concentrate on this first step.)

 

Answering these questions will help you figure this out, if you don’t know already.  Ask yourself: 

 

1.  Why am I in business for myself? Or… Why am I doing this business?

 

2.  What is my vision for my business or for my work?  What do I stand for? Or… What does my business stand for?

 

3.  What is it that I want my business to create?  What change do I want my business/work to create in the world?

 

Make a list to answer each of these questions because if as you get clearer about why you are in business, you will get clearer about how to market your business.  But it starts first with having your vision and being clear about what that is that you do and what gifts you are bringing to the world.

 

If you take the time to do this, you will begin to clarify a big piece of your marketing message.  And that, in turn, will attract more clients!  It cannot help but attract more clients.  Clarity always equals attraction.

What’s Your Impatience Factor?


 

 


MP3 File

 

One of the challenges that many people face when developing their intuition is what I call the Impatience Factor.  Our minds want to understand right here, right now, what the intuitive hit means.

 

However, oftentimes we are given only pieces of information.  (Think of it as putting together a puzzle.)  When our ego gets involved and wants to understand the whole picture and even demands to understand the whole picture, this is when we get into trouble, this is when we get into doubt, and this is when we fall into not trusting our intuition.

And we begin to think that we must understand it all right now, or there’s something wrong with us, or that this intuition thing doesn’t work.

 

That is not it the case at all.  Rather, it is simply that you have been given a piece of information.  If you can set it to the side and wait for more information to come, then you’ll begin to see how you are being led intuitively.

 

Check to see your own Impatience Factor.  How high is it?  See if you can allow the information to come to you without demanding that you understand everything right here, right now.  If you can do this, you will have gone a long way to developing trust in your intuition.

Daily Intuitive Journaling


 


MP3 File

 

When my clients and students are learning to develop and trust their intuition, one of the main exercises they do is get a journal, where they can write down the intuitive hits that they receive on a daily basis.

 

What happens is that they quickly realize that they are receiving many intuitive hits and they begin to trust what they receive.

 

Even if you don’t understand something in the moment, but it seems to be an intuitive hit, write it down anyway.  Sometimes you will get a piece of the puzzle which you don’t fully understand until later.  This way you have it written down, and when you go back to read your intuitive hits, you really get some “Ah-Ha!” moments.

 

So, go get a journal – make it a beautiful one – and start writing down your intuitive hits.  See what unfolds for you.  I believe you will discover that you develop your intuition far more quickly than you could possibly imagine – and you will really begin to trust the information you receive!
