You gotta love the power of coaching.  Particularly if you are working with a coach who GETS you.  A coach who stands with you in creating your dreams – and loves you right where you are.

That was my experience today.  If I can be quite honest, I’m smack dab, right in the middle of some reinvention.  Meaning….’doing the work’ to break through the old patterns, beliefs, untruths, etc.  Why?  Because to play at the level I am shooting to play at, the old strategies don’t work.  It requires transformation to make the quantum changes. Is it worth it?  Absolutely!  Is it easy?  Nope.

Looking at years of old stuff and ways of being takes courage – but then, so does being an entrepreneur.  I think on some level, we are all warriors of sorts…and I love that.

Today my coach gave me the most unusual assignment I’ve ever been given.  I am to check in with myself every morning, and if I don’t feel like I’m at least a “7” on the feeling loved scale, I gotta go get me some!

What?

Most of us start our days with coffee, the paper, or even a task list.  But starting with getting your cup filled with love?  Madness!

Think about what would be different if you approached each task feeling full.  Feeling that you belong right where you are and that your presence makes a difference in those lives around you.  Imaging the ease and peace and gratitude you’d feel if your ‘love tank’ was full.  And don’t you think your clients would notice it as well?

I’ll give you the same challenge that my coach gave me.  Get filled up.  There is no shame in reaching out to grab some love, just as there is no shame in the fact that you have to stop for fuel in your car to reach your destination.

Now why as an entrepreneur are you invited to do this?  Because you ARE your business.  You are the heart and soul of your business.  There is no coaching the business without coaching the business owners, as they are one.  The more you are content, happy, nourished, and feeling like you are contributing at a high level, the more your business becomes a reflection of that.  Isn’t that worth it?  It sure is for me, as I know that the more I do the inner work, the more people notice the difference in who I’m being and what I’m offering.

Your task now is to begin to fill your life with those folks who can be like petrol for your soul.  Who is in your life that you can connect with to be reminded of your brilliance?  Where are the folks who call you out and ask you to step up and play bigger?  Finding that is really where the gold is.

Here’s to the journey…..
Blessings,
