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.

Is Your Secret Shame Pushing Money Away?

 


MP3 File

 

Recently, I was at an event with one of my coaches, David Neagle. David is brilliant at helping people clear their mindset blocks that keep them from creating what it is they want in their lives and in their businesses.

It was an incredible week.

I was continually challenged with my own limited beliefs about what is possible and about what I can create (and by when), and I could see how fear keeps me from taking action in different places in my life.  (Yeah I have them, too!)

Stepping up in your business usually means more investment. More risk. More fear. More stretching. More awareness. More fear. (Oh, did I say that already?)

As I was looking at the financial pieces of my business – the expenses and the income – I noticed where I’m experiencing that feeling of being stretched uncomfortably. And I recognized fear coming up. I felt some anxiety coming up around my own ability to keep growing, to keep sharing, to keep building my beloved business.

You know what they say: New Level, New Devil.

I realized it was time for some serious self-care.

You see, whenever anxiety shows up, you have to know that panic is right around the corner unless you do something to get your head back on straight and get some distance from the fear… until you do something to recenter.

So I decided to swim. And here’s where the story starts to get juicy, because this story is all about getting triggered, what you do with the trigger, how to get re-centered, and then how re-centering will tune into your intuition.  And intuition is exactly where you get the direction of what to do the trigger.  What direction to take.

Now remember, I was triggered about money.  As I was swimming, a memory from the event kept popping into my mind. There was a woman there who was struggling with an experience where she felt some shame. 

David asked her to write down everything she had done that she was ashamed of that she hadn’t shared before. And later in the day, she got up to the microphone and read off that list.

You could have heard a pin drop in the room. Her courage was so inspiring, and I personally felt so connected to her, because her story was my story.

As I swam, I wondered if I would have the courage to share my shameful moments with the world the way she so had.

And then I realized that my lesson was not about sharing my shameful moments, but about forgiving myself and healing the shame of my own experiences.

I realized I had some shame around things I had done as a child with money.

MONEY!

I mean seriously??? I had never before connected my money experiences of today with the things I had done as a child.  Little things, but things around which I still had not healed. Things I still felt guilty about.   Like the time I stole $2 from a friend (and then I returned it because I was so afraid I’d get caught).

But there it was.  Popping its head up and saying “Deal with me!”

It was time to clear it out!

My next step was to write down those memories. And after doing this, I tapped on those feelings, and became aware that I was feeling about shame around charging people today.

That was the bridge between my childhood and today.

Thank goodness for tapping, because you know that as an entrepreneur, it’s essential to charge appropriately for your services.  And in doing so, we are gifting our clients the opportunity to step up into a whole new place of commitment and possibility for themselves.

Now that’s some powerful juju!

So here’s my question to you: do you have some places in your life, some memories you carry, that you feel guilty or shameful for?

If so, take some time to write them down, to tap on those memories, and clear them out. Give yourself this precious gift of self-love, of self-care and self-acceptance.

Because by doing that, you are going to be opening yourself up to some incredible gifts – gifts that you yourself want, but right now cannot receive because of your guilt or shame.

And I can imagine no greater gift I could give to myself than that love.

Now go get your Divine ON!

Hugs, Anne

How Much Mo*ney is Fear Costing You?

 


MP3 File


“I’m too afraid!” Joanie exclaimed. 

“Too afraid of what?” I asked her.

“Well, what if I can’t do this?  What if I can’t create my business the way I want to?”

“What if you can?” I said.

Joanie was silent.  And I waited while she started to move away from fear and into faith.

“Wow,” she finally said. “I never thought of it like that.”

Years ago, when I started my business, I lived in that space.  I was really afraid that I couldn’t create the business I dreamed of.

I was afraid of so many things.  Afraid I couldn’t build my business.  Afraid I couldn’t attract clients.  Afraid I couldn’t deliver.  Afraid I couldn’t speak in front of prople.  Afraid I couldn’t make any money.

And as I developed one business skill after another, I realized that building a business is really about stepping out of fear and stepping into faith.  Over and over again.

Fear can stop you in your tracks from taking the action you desperately need to take.  Whether the action is to connect with potential clients by making calls, or to create a teleseminar series, or to hire a mentor who can guide you as you build your business, fear is a powerful stopper.

And Faith, is a powerful “GO!”

Here’s why: when we listen to the voices in our heads that say “You can’t do this!” and “Who’s going to pay you that much money?!” and “What if people don’t like you?” and “What if you’re just kidding yourself?” and “That’s too much to invest in yourself!” and so on … we are living our lives as though those voices are the truth, instead of  just a belief or fear or block. 

We actually think it’s the truth!

And the more you pay attention to the voices, the more power they have.  The more power they have, the more you listen to them.  And the more you listen to them, the more you believe.  That’s the ride to Crazy Land!

So how do you get off of it?

By saying to those voices “STOP!  I will NOT listen to you!  I WILL do this!  I CAN do this!  I don’t care what you say! I choose to have a different reality!”

And then go take action.  Take action that is the opposite of what your fear and anxiety is saying.

Tell yourself  “I am strong and capable. I can do this!  I am always cared for by the Divine.  I am always provided for by the Divine.  I am always guided by the Divine to each perfect situation, person and conversation.  Always.”

 

And then trust. 

Trust that what you just affirmed is true.

When you do this, you shift from Fear into Faith.

Faith is where your power to create what you want lies. 

Fear is where your power to create what you don’t want lies, by the way.  (But then, you already knew that, didn’t you?)

You get to choose the direction of your business, your finances and your life.

Choosing to step into faith, and to take action based on that faith, is how it is done.

So… what five things are you going to do today to step into Faith?

Now, go get your Divine ON!

Hugs, Anne

Want to tap in some Abundance?

Back in 2002, I learned EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or tapping as it is now called.

EFT transformed my life.

  • It gave me my business.
  • It gave my my sweetie pie hubby.
  • It gave me a way to heal from trauma.
  • It gave me a way to change my beliefs.
  • It gave me abundance.

Ok, put the brakes on.

It gave you abundance?

Yep.  It gave me a new way to think about abundance and mo*ney.  It helped me get out of my lack thinking and step into a whole new way of experiencing abundance.

So I thought I’d start something new for you.  Something that could help you transform your experience of mo*ney, too.  Something that could help you realize how much abundance you have in your life already.

And so…  Ta-Da!

You are going to start getting tapping audios on a regular basis.  While I KNOW you LOVE reading all of my ezines ;-) I also know that without the tapping, I would not be where I am today. 

Sooo, without further ado, here is the first of many tapping audios.  I like to call it Tapping Into the Divine.  (Isn’t that  an awesome name?)

Audio #1)  Manifesting Abundance 


If you don’t know where the tapping points are, just go to here to see where they are.

http://divinelyintuitivebusiness.com/tapping-points

So, listen to the audios and tap along with them or not… either way is good. 

Now, go get your Divine ON!

Hugs, Anne
