Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

I really do believe we attract what we focus on, and what we believe — in fear or in love. I believe — and perhaps that belief is why I attract the experience — that this applies to the people and relationships we attract as well, clients included.

When we shift our mindsets to focus on what we love or what brings us joy, and we begin to recognize that we inherently believe that, and not the thing we feared. The momentum of that takes a little time to show up, so it may seem as if we’re still attracting the previous focus, when in fact the shift simply hasn't yet shown up in our physical reality yet. Exciting, isn't it? That means we just need to stay focused on what we want, rather than fear, to see more of what we want. In my experience, it is quite literal, and it happens more readily now, than when I first started focusing more mindfully. Here’s one look at a small mindset shift that helped.

I believe we all take action when we're intrinsically ready, and action taken before that often leads to doubt, wondering “what if”, imposter syndrome and subconsciously grieving what we lost.

Serve better clients, better. Mindful entrepreneurship

Mindful Entrepreneurship.  Serve better clients, better.  Wait.  What?  Yip.  I firmly believe we're all of equal value, here, but that we simply are not all compatible.  When I say "better clients", I'm therefore referring to clients who aren't trying to change you - personality, pricing or practice - and vice versa.  Who values you as you are?

Authenticity. What's it mean, beyond the buzzword?

/

In life, business, relationships, whether publicly or in private solitude, authenticity uses far less energy.  Being authentic, being true to oneself, is not a series of actions or reactions, which may reflect our true thoughts or emotions in one snapshot of time.  Those moments are important, yes, because they reveal issues that affect us adversely so that we can address them, or boundaries that have been violated that we need to reinstate.  Those snapshots are not, however, who you are inherently...
