Triggers in Your Business Are Normal - Here's What to Do About Them

One of the things they often forget to tell you in coach training is that your business is one big personal development course. Running a coaching business will quickly bring up your triggers and fears for healing, and it can be intense work!

That’s why business courses often feel like they’re just not helping. Often what we really need help with is the sheer terror we’re experiencing, lol, as we face our inner selves.

“Am I good enough? Can I do this? Should I even have a business? What if I suck?” and other fun self-doubts rear their ugly heads and torment us, but rarely do we feel safe enough in a business-building program to bring these up and get support. (Or, it’s simply not a part of the program).

Though your business will bring up everything in the world inside of you, it doesn’t have to feel constantly terrifying or make you want to throw in the towel every week. It can shift to feeling light, exciting, and fun, even as you work through triggers and fears.

I often think of my business as my own personal oasis. It’s my creative happy place, my place for just me, and my outlet for all my passion for my calling.

When parenting feels hard or something else is going on in my personal life, I can sit down in my business and feel safe and at home, happy and fulfilled. Just now, I’m sitting here writing to you because I woke up early and couldn’t fall back asleep. The most comforting thing I could think to do was connect with my business.

You can have this kind of friendship with your business, too. It can serve you as much as it helps you grow.

The key to this is connecting with your heart and feeling the connection and passion you feel for the people you want to work with or do work with right now. When we’re in a place of service, our hearts open and we are able to handle the deeper healing work with more ease.

The more you focus on how much you love serving other humans and how excited you are about what they are creating in your work together, the happier you’ll feel in your business. Take a minute to stop and think about three things you’d love to share with your clients or potential clients and then just notice how warm your heart feels.

This is the perfect antidote to all the self-doubt and fear that arises. You can do your mindset work and feel your emotions and tap into your inner wisdom - all of that will help immensely. But adding in that big powerful hit of love for your people will carry you through any storm in your business.

Working with you to help you navigate the self-doubt and the fears that arise is a central focus in my Heart Centered Coach Accelerator program. You don’t have to set aside your personal life and inner terror when you come to class. Instead, you can bring it and get coached around it so that it feels a billion times easier to actually take steps in your business.

I’ll show you how to transform fear into a powerful positive force in your business, and I’ll walk you through clarifying your messaging so that your niche feels aligned - like you’re truly in your calling. Then I’ll give you my whole Slacker Magic System, which is how you can turn your business into your oasis, too, and your best friend!

Finally, we’ll design your program and get it out into the world with a test launch that gets you confidence and testimonials. You’ll feel like a million bucks when those first few clients register and you’re really doing it!
