My Biggest Learning this Year!

My Biggest Learnings this Year has been not fully using my own voice to share my message online with my audience. 

I allowed someone else to be my voice and speak for me, thinking this would help my business and save me time doing something I believed I didn't have the strength in. To attract the people who were prepared and ready to up-level and pay for that service. In the short term, this worked and my business grew substantially in the first 3 months. After seeing the growth and support I grew to rely on this and slowly became a code dependant business relationship on my side. In a sense, I did the very thing I tell people not to do and that is You Can't Delegate Communication and how it was marketed. 

My inner voice was getting louder by the week telling me to stop, giving me that almighty nudge. Did I listen nope, I did know, that co-dependant feeling can I do it by myself.

I forgot what I really loved about what I do and the people I love to work with to have humility, compassion and really be fulfilled in what I do best is being of service to others. 

It was halfway through the year and I started to see a rapid decline in my business and the voice and nudges got louder to stop, however, I was tied under contract. I began to feel sick what worrying about my business and what I had built and questioning my integrity my values. No, after no swept in, self-doubt and panic overcame me and all I could think of was could I lose everything with the decision I had made and one I wasn't making. My heart ached that I had alienated the very people I was here to be of service to. I let my ego get the better of me wanting recognition for my success and striving for the next big goal. 

Was I really practising what I was preaching to others yes and no, was I taking responsibility for my actions and decisions at the time no. 

I needed to stop, take responsibility which when I could I did and took time for me and to redecorate my business and come home to what I know to do best. Looking at my values, my mission, vision and my intentions and being true to me and of service to others. I felt a weight lift off me, as I went to work on myself and my business again and what I really stood for. 

Knowing I could never lose anything that wasn't mine in the first place and that I had to go through that experience to guide the people I work with and will work with to shine a light on their voice and the way they communicate externally. 

Come back to my intuition and guidance to move through me and serve the collective. I asked each day in my mediation "How may I serve today?"

Coming back to humility working through me instead of Ego and pride, holding the space for others to fully be themselves. To grow, evelove and teach what I learn every step of the way. 

I share this with you because as humans life happens, in the decisions and choices we make with others may not always serve us I the way would like our plan is not the Divine, God, Universes plan for us. We sometimes have to go through experiences for a reason. 

To know at any point I could have taken responsibility and used my voice to say no and make changes in my business earlier than later, but hey haven't we all been there in those times? 

I know in my heart it's about nurture, support, compassion, service and community to help people speak with authenticity. 

Whatever you are going through I am here to say You've got this and I believe I you, there is always light on the other side.
