I had an intense coaching consult yesterday.....I have been "coached" before and it is so great to be on the other side of the dynamic.....and fun! But this was an intensive session that I invested in specifically to grow my business, and move into the next phase of my business....and what was intense about it was the amount of information I received some.....but it was also the growth that I am standing befor,e and the moves I will have to make that will make me wildly uncomfortable......knowing that they are the moves I NEED to make intuitively.......the truth is I have been playing small in my business.....for a long time.....and I don't say any of that with regret at all, or with a lack of gratitude at the growth I have found, as I have used trial and error to fuel my journey......but there have been parts of my business that have challenged me, and one has been in charging what I should for coaching or my series or any of my content for that matter.....I put a lot of work into the things I do and I do not charge what I should and I have known that for quite sometime;-) ......and money is an interesting topic for us all.....we all somewhere along the way adopt an attitude about it, and a feeling surrounding it, that dictates our experience with it....I believe that....and for me I have wanted to make it SO affordable.....but almost dirt cheap affordable, to not price anybody out of getting the support they need.....and while that is still true, I was reminded by the woman I am working with that people can, and will find the means for the things that will move them forward if that is the motivation and it is perfectly fine for me to charge for my service.....just like my finding the means to put myself through coaching school......because it mattered.....and jumping into this book.....I am a certified coach and have some experience under my belt now....and my stuff is resonating and growing etc......so........I need to work on moving my business into the next phase and it is going to require movement for me in some key areas.....and it is going to make me uncomfortable initially......it feels uncomfortable even typing it now lol:) and it likely will till I get over the hump......and push past more of my self limiting beliefs......because during the session that is what I found, more of those lol:) Like way more self limiting beliefs lurking than I thought I had.....it is amazing when they come up and you see what you have been holding onto in the light of day........I also came up with a game plan for my own book....and the process......some retreat support......and creating course content......and a more realistic pricing scale.....which I knew.....when I was in coaching school they told us what to charge and what that would look like....and I have not followed that at all, and made the format fit what I felt up until this point....and in that space I have learned a bunch, and served a bunch of women and have no regrets.....however I deeply know that to get to the places I want to get to in my business, and with my retreat center mission I cannot play small anymore to make that happen.....so there will be new things on the horizon, and I will be working on pushing past a bunch of things that make me uncomfortable, in the spirit of making that all happen......growth in a bunch of areas of my business that are ready to grow! SO stay tuned:) As for today though, staining my deck for the first time is in order! Wish me luck;-) Have a great day! :)
