The decision about dropping the lucrative corporate career and setting my own business to become the captain of this ship was one of the best calls of my life and in the life of many women out there. The vision and dream to have a thriving coaching practice generating annually at least six figures give us, women entrepreneurs, the extra drive and a solid portion of the fiery energy to begin this journey in the first place.
It’s well documented that the average coaching practice generates about 50-80K USD annually. Although the numbers may differ from the region and type of coaching, most coaches globally cannot break the glass ceiling of a six-figure revenue per year. Only one in ten reach this stage, and less than one in a hundred cross the line of seven figures.
One may ask whether reaching the earnings comparable to corporate 9-5 is achievable in this industry? However, the coaching business is trending up, and multiple six or seven-figure careers are more than possible. This Holy Grail of the industry becomes interesting for high achievers and performance-driven women who are never afraid of any challenge. They are natural, born leaders who love to overdeliver. They thrive on multi-tasking, keeping many balls in the air while solving multi-layer problems with extra complex people and circumstances. They laugh, pushing against the wind and taking the upstream path. But, unfortunately, they don’t know that the upstream journey may be a recipe for disaster.
Excessive, action-driven behavior results from distorted masculine energy to emerge into inevitable energy loss, sometimes burnout, frequent difficulty in keeping the focus, lower mood, sleeping disorders, impatience in relationships, and various stress-activated diseases. When the business is not easy and fun anymore, you are not on your true calling, purpose, and soul mission. There is an unmistakable misalignment between who you truly are, what you do, and how you do it.
Female entrepreneurs and businesswomen who want to fall in love with their biz again, welcoming six-figure revenues and the new incredible life that comes along, would need to consider shifting their behavior framework in few essential areas. To turn their success GPS, they need to adapt their inner system to the change they want to create following the saying:
“If you want to see changes in your life, you need to start changing your life.”
However, it is a process that requires navigation through your psyche and the layers of beliefs adopted for many years. Mainly it’s about changing your paradigm in the area you see yourself in the interaction with other people, business, and money. For the quick and lasting transformation that will help you put your soul on fire again and run a purpose-driven company, you would need an experienced coach or mentor at your side.
Strategic matters will always call for laser-sharp attention. But at the same time, they would create far fewer challenges than your state of being on the way towards your success. The doubts created by your psyche and unexpected mindset twists will call for professional guidance, even when you are a coach yourself. You would need to detach yourself from your existing emotional blueprint and adopt some new beliefs about yourself and your ability to create financial success and the soul-aligned lifestyle that goes along. Your checkpoint will always be the set of internal feelings and emotions that will become your compass on your path of inner excitement.
Careful observation of your emotions will also help to steer towards the energy of YES around you. The only thing that stands between you and your goal is you and your reflection in the mirror. Here are three shifts that will help you to fall in love with your business again and hyper boost the inner energy of YES:
Shift No.1 Replace knowledge mastery with self-mastery.
If you are a life-long learner, you have several self-education processes already open – probably a few books at once, several podcasts, and some courses. They help you to keep up the tempo and feed your competitive nature. You see, the thing is, you do not need most of the extra knowledge you consume daily. Most of it remains not applied, so it only clutters your mind, leaves your sensory data overloaded, and keeps you busy. So you don’t need more information. Instead, it would be best if you create transformation.
So to break your constant need to be active while avoiding solving the most critical issues, try some self-mastery. It will help you become aware of your core belief system. It is the internal structure that makes things complicated and keeps you where you are. It will support cracking your confidence code, getting into the vibe of endless possibilities, and discovering your next level of soul-aligned clients. With this work, your people will understand why self-development and prioritizing self is a good-for-you thing that puts your soul of fire.
Shift No.2 Work with your energy & recognize your lessons.
Female entrepreneurs frequently push through the most challenging situations. They know it’s more waiting for them out there, but they also believe the only way to get there goes through more hassle, longer hours, and lower prices for their services. As a result, guilt, self-doubt, and fear become frequent visitors draining the energy, creativity, and trust that this business can ever thrive.
What needs to change is the perspective of making the conscious and unapologetic choices about taking more space, more time, setting stronger boundaries, and being more authentic in everything you do. The successful six-figure business that puts your soul on fire empowers your sense of freedom and allows you to be fully relaxed about who you are and how you present yourself to the world out there. The ability to recognize the positive part and the teaching behind every life and business situation creates the bedrock of your energetic work.
Shift No.3 Be intentional & committed.
Six-figure business with soul on fire stands for being conscious and very intentional about your actions and inactions. It’s about being utterly aware of every step you make and how it gets you closer or further away from your desires. More than ninety percent of human activities happen “on autopilot” and without any deeper reflection for the results created. Yet, surprisingly enough, at the same time, our brain is busy with about eighty thousand thoughts crossing our minds daily.
Unfortunately, most of these thoughts are repetitive patterns adding to more doubts and uncertainties. They create so-called mind chatter or ego chatter and help your stress accumulate in the body, creating mind discomfort and more anxiety.
The way to welcome ease again and internal excitement is the self-development work. First, you will have to focus on removing any obstacles influencing your self-esteem, understood as the power of your psyche, your soul, and your spirit. Internal work leads to igniting your courage to take decisions and inspired actions free of other people’s approval.
Conscious creation of six-figure business is available for women determined to address their behaviors and beliefs limiting their current actions. The awareness of all unhealthy behavioral patterns and internal saboteurs is the first step to creating a breakthrough towards inner excitement. This fiery feeling allows you courageously step into the next level of your identity as an entrepreneur. Any action taken from that place carries the vibe of success, leading you where you want to be.
The thriving six-figure business comes as a unique side effect of your new empowered relationship with yourself, your ability to create and receive money, and cracking your confidence code. When you know how to put your soul on fire, the beautiful high-end clients, profitability, fantastic lifestyle, and prices that bring a smile to your lips become your everyday reality.
