How to build self-trust so you can build your business
Wow! THANK YOU for the incredible response to my message last week! I definitely had to regulate my nervous system before I hit send on that bad boy, but it felt so good once it was out in the world.
How did I know it was time to share that announcement? My body compass told me.
The body compass was one of the first tools I learned in my Wayfinder Life Coach Training program.
The idea is simple: our bodies can’t lie to us.
The racing heart when you hit on a new idea.
The knots in your shoulders when you’re carrying too big an emotional burden.
The zing of excitement when you first thought about quitting your job.
All beautiful messages from your sweet body to your mind.
But, as the smarty pants you are, I’d wager money you are a champion of the pros-and-cons list. Of thinking things through. Of making the “responsible” decision.
That idea might be brilliant – but your risk-averse husband would rather you sit on it for a while.
You might be buckling under the load of running your family – but everyone else is busy, too, right? So you can soldier on a bit longer.
Sure quitting your job sounds great, but this is America – what are you going to do about health insurance?!
My teacher Martha Beck (yes, Oprah’s life coach) developed the body compass to help us do an end-run on our brilliant little brains. Step aside, mental chatter. We’re going to the source.
After taking nearly every client through the process of calibrating their body compass, I realized this would make a perfect mini course: in under an hour, you can follow the guided meditations to find out exactly what a Heck Yes and a Hell No feel like in your body.
Once you know that, it can guide you in everything from whether to accept that new client to whether to pitch that book chapter or take that freelance gig.
I’ve been using my body compass for years, and it has steered me wrong exactly zero times. Yes, there have been times I listened to my thinking mind instead, but my body compass? Perfect record.
That’s a 100% success rate.
That is GOLD.
I developed the mini course to be an offer bump when people join my list, a great idea that wound up being a smidge more complicated than I’d anticipated, but I’m confident will be worth the effort.
(Do you have an offer bump set up? Would it be helpful if I shared more about that process? I learned so much setting this up.)
You can snag it here any time — or, if you join my list, you’ll get special access at half-off.
You’ll also get my free guidebook that teaches you how to work with your nervous system. And you’ll get my weekly emails in which I share all the things that have made the biggest difference for my clients and me, and that I wish I’d learned sooner.
See you in there!
