Imposter Syndrome seems to be a popular term these days….

It's good that people are being real!

Personally I find that when I work with clients who are high on emotional intelligence and often very smart and talented - there is a common theme .."am I good enough". I suppose the human condition is to compare ourselves to others.

The greater the sense of personal identity and acceptance - the greater the achievements. Is it the chicken or the egg?

Do we gain confidence by doing or do we decide to accept ourselves and become bolder in the doing? I know that small incremental successes breed confidence - especially when doing something new where uncertainty is high and the subconscious kicks in with fear and thinks there could be a tiger ahead.

 What is 'good enough' anyway?

Achieving a goal?

Being as good as someone else?

Why not be really good at being you. Working on your own talents and skills and knowing that being unique in who you are and what you create is the most...

What would you do if you were 3 times bolder than you are right now?

If you are not being bold enough it's usually because fear is hiding behind - literally pulling you back from your path and destiny.

High performers experience uncertainty because they push the boundaries all the time - so the future is unknown. This uncertainty can breed either more fear or what I call collateral courage© - the ability to create and move forward boldly in spite of uncertainty or fear.

1. Your voice is unique. Your message and gifts are needed by others. Trust your instincts. Write down your talents. Celebrate them. - We are so good at finding our own faults but its okay to recognise what you do well. Use your passion to convince others rather than allowing fear to stop you.
2. Your environment - are the people around you in a position to 'pull you up' to another level emotionally, career-wise, in your business? Are you the one always leading others? Have you outgrown those around you? As humans...

What is stopping you from having the MONEY you deserve? 3 MIND-SET truths that will set you free to grow more money.

TRUTH NO 1: Belief

What do you believe about money? Is it easy to get?

Do you always have enough? Or not enough? 

What are you expecting? 

Do you know much about how money works or is it something you avoid? Note: If you are in sales, your mindset about spending is probably impacting your ability to sell more.

There comes a time when we need to recognise what our beliefs and thoughts are in relation to money. If you know that you have negative thoughts – then it’s never too late to change. 

ACTION: Start by writing down what you believe about money.

Journal every day for a week by noting down words that you associate when you think about money. For example: Thinking about paying a bill = pain. Saving for a holiday = I can’t afford it. Do these sound familiar? Capture those thoughts first.

When you capture...

When I was a kid we were taught to be really polite. I mean REALLY polite.  

We were taught to think of others before ourselves, always.   And I subscribe to that. I really do. I am ALL about helping others. And most of my clients are the same.

Except there's a catch....

If you don't get what you want, you can't help as many people.

And in ALWAYS putting others first... you get pretty good at making excuses to not do what you truly believe you are meant to do. And you miss out on having the FUN, money and love that you need, if you don't balance the giving with the receiving. 

Being a martyr...It's the ultimate SABOTAGE strategy.

It happens all the time to high performers, leaders.... "I'm already doing so much. Working so hard.  I've already achieved a lot. I don't have enough time.  I already have too much responsibility.  I need my work life to improve before I can start that business.  I have tried before and it didn't...
