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
Recently I had a day where I just could barely face the phone and make sales calls (even though I really wanted more clients). I decided to listen to your Successful Sacred Sales Conversations audio to help me get ready for my day. On the very next call, I closed a $10,000 client who excitedly stepped up to work with me and was eager to pay in full! What makes this particularly stunning is that I hadn't had a successful close like this in months, even with a good number of calls! Thank you, Anne!
Loving your Unlimited Wealth CD. I’ve been listening daily. Received unexpected check in the mail yesterday! Thank you God!
Anne is the person I go to when I'm confused, stressed and need clarity in my business. She helps me see where I'm getting in my own way. She is an expert at helping me zero in on exactly what I need to shift out of my funk. Once that's done, I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm and am delighted to be back on track. She's gentle, yet persistent, and holds me accountable to my own true heart's desires.
Anne, you're the best teacher I've ever had! You bring clarity where there was confusion and darkness. You rock girl!
Working with Anne, I gained new skills and tools to move my business in a new direction, how to make more money! I’m so grateful I was in her Platinum Mastermind group! Thank you, Anne!
Thank you so much for the generous gift of your time and wisdom today! I really feel like I made a real quantum leap today! My idea now feels more like a physical reality and less like a dream!
I am really looking forward to working with you!
I gotta tell you, it was a great, great seminar. I’m so glad I took it! Two days of pure transformation!
Since listening to your Wealth CD, I have received two promotions (the second of them was to my ideal job)!
Your CDs create such a space of joy and bliss so that it is helping us to open up and allow what we want to come to us. My daughter and I are seeing such wonderful changes in our lives!
Doors are still opening from our session! I am so blessed with joy and I am seeing that opportunity is available at every hand. I am finding it incredibly easy to bring into manifestation my heart's inner most desire!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You are amazing and gifted! Thank you!
I took part in Anne’s Platinum Mastermind group and attended the retreat. It was 2 1/2 amazing days where I got so much support and love and direction and help with my branding and marketing. It was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
Working with Anne as a Diamond VIP client, I’ve gotten more than what I expected. Choosing her as my coach has been brilliant. She has taken me from “I have no idea what I'm doing” to “Whoopee! I've got a plan, I know where I'm going and I've got support from someone whose been there and knows how to go beyond the limitations, the fears, the ‘What if's’.”
At first I wasn't too sure because of the 'Rev thing' in front of her name. But my concern quickly dissipated. She has been AMAZING and continues to be! When you combine a great sense of humour (essential for me!) with insights that just seem to flow so easily from her (intuition on steroids!), it was a no-brainer to hire her as my coach initially and to re-hire her again.
I am filled with awe to think of the immense influence you and your incredible gifts have had on me, and the degree to which I have grown personally and spiritually since working with you. I have gone from not knowing what intuition is to completely trusting the information I receive and making confident decisions to act upon that information.
My business - and my life - have both profited in innumerable ways because of working with you!
I have absolutely adored working with you, Anne. You have had a monumental impact on my life. When I first came to you I had so many issues, and so things going on. You brought so much clarity to all of those situations. I have learned I can manifest in ways that I never dreamt, which has shocked me so totally and made me feel so powerful. This was so new for me, and oh wow, it is so freeing to realize this!
After listening to your Health CD, I lost 7 pounds in less than a month, had fewer cravings, and wanted to exercise!
I participated in Anne's Platinum Mastermind and just had the most amazing 2 ½ days at our retreat. It was absolutely fabulous! I'm so glad I came ... all the way from England!
I would highly recommend learning about how our intuition works – and working with Anne – to anybody who wants to connect to their inner guidance so they can move forward on a really solid basis.
Thank you very much, Anne!
The Inner Circle made a tremendous impact on my life and it changed me in numerous ways.
Before I started this coaching program, I was pretty confused and overwhelmed with my what direction to take my healing practice and how to market it and get the word out to people who would be interested in working with me.
Once I started the course, I got some great support from Rev. Anne in terms of direction and the focus for the marketing part of the business and the group itself.
I got the support I needed to help me boost my self- confidence and also to boost my self-image as a powerful intuitive.
I’m so glad I did it!
Anne helped me use a more simple process for strategy sessions with prospective clients. In a recent session with a potential client, she signed up for my highest priced package, despite the fact that she stated that she didn't have money to invest in coaching right now!
Thank you, Anne!
I’ve just participated in Anne Presuel’s Platinum Mastermind and you know, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I realized how truly connected I am to what I’m doing with my work and how and why I’m doing it. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Your uplifting presence, the energy and dynamism of your voice and the power of your workshop...wow, wow, wow. You are the light.
After just two sessions with Anne, I sold my first package for $1,200 to a client, and another package for $3,500 just a week later! Not only was it easy, it was fun!
Thank you so much for the EFT session we had today. I feel like I have lost about 100 lbs of old baggage. I must tell you all the releasing that was done today has healed my kidneys.
I've had problems with my kidneys for about 17 years. And I have tried kidney cleanses and drinking water and Reiki and this is truly a miracle as far as I am concerned.
You are an amazing intuitive healer, I'm so glad the Universe led me to you!
I simply adore your CDs and recommend them so highly!
For anyone who hasn't enjoyed your affirmation CD's, they're missing out on quite a treat!
Before I worked with Rev. Anne I was completely blocked. It was impacting me physically, spiritually, and emotionally. My family’s finances had not improved in over five years. I was holding myself accountable for things that I had no control over. During our work, Rev. Anne helped me in less than a minute to figure out what my block was.
Rev. Anne is an amazing life coach and healer. Because of our working together I have been able to see things I hadn’t seen before. Wonderful things happened to my family in a very short time following our time together, including my husband getting a job back in his profession again and my winning a scholarship to attend a seminar weekend for my business!
Anne has been a superb business coach. She steered us in a direction she sensed we were intended for and it has made all the difference for us. She has kept us on track, given us guidance and remained completely accessible.
We’ve truly benefited from her experience and her ideas, her heart-centered insightfulness and, most of all, her unfaltering belief in us.
Amazing post Anne! <3
