I felt completely stuck

I spent months spinning my wheels in my health and wellness coaching business.

I had information and tools that I knew could transform people's lives for the better and help them thrive in ways they hadn't even imagined was possible for them. This information had transformed my own life completely.

Yet, I didn't know how to package it, how to connect with the right people who could really benefit, or how to make my business financially sustainable.

I hit some really low points. Felt completely burnt out at times. Spinning our wheels gets so tiring at times!

I questioned whether I was up to the tasks and dreams that were living in my heart. At times, I considered letting it all go.

It was ironically during one of my lowest points in my business that things started shifting for me.

I realized I need support.

I needed a coach...not a business coach, but a life coach who could help me navigate the uncertainly, the occasional disappointments, the limiting beliefs that were coming up for me.

I didn't need a perfectly packaged business system or someone telling me how to do things their way.

I needed someone to help me get clarity about my own knowing, someone to help me sift through the noise of business and marketing advice and take the right steps for me. The ones that come from my own heart.

Some people claim that building a business is one of the most challenging spiritual paths available. I now understand why! Silly me, I thought parenting was the most challenging spiritual path available!

Guess I gravitate towards the difficult things. That's where the most powerful transformations lie. Maybe.

That's not always true. But, it's a nice story for someone who gravitates towards hard things sometimes.

What I found was that I needed space to connect with my own knowing. I needed time to create my own plan of action. A plan full of steps that felt exciting for me and aligned with my goals and intentions. It was like the abstinence plan I created, but tailored to business growth.

Once I did those things, everything started shifting substantially.

People started coming to me, without my even asking. The right people..the ones who value what I offer and the transformations I help facilitate.

And they were ready to do the work, to create transformations in their own lives. And they were happy to pay for it, because they knew the value of what they were getting.

The stickiness I had felt around creating something financially sustainable, it shifted completely and turned into joy, flow, connection, and transformation for my clients.

I now have so many clients that I have a waiting list of over 10 people. It's time to build a team and scale so we can support more and more people. The time is right.

We all create our own stories. Let's make them good ones.

This is a story of transformation from future me. From the Butterfly. I'm currently living in the darkness, in the cocoon, but this story helps me connect with the light and the possibilities I know exist on the other side.

If you haven't written your story of transformation yet, consider writing a story from future you.
