Here is why your online business is not growing and scaling as fast as you would want it.
Over these 8 years, I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of some online coaches and gurus, and I’ve seen entrepreneurs come and go, disillusioned and disappointed with the eroding ethics and integrity.
They enter the industry with high hopes and dreams, on the back of big promises of flashy lifestyles and “multimillion business within 6 months”. I admit I also believed in some of those promises.
I had the opportunity to witness many of the strategies, methodologies, and blueprints shared as THE solution to the pain of the consumers.
I’ve tried some of them, tested them out and with time realised why they didn’t work for me.
Perhaps the most difficult part was processing and working through all the emotions of disappointment, guilt, and shame for not being able to make them work for me.
Here is why some of the online business strategies didn’t work for me (and why they might not be working for you):
➡️ They were too advanced for the stage of business I was in, but I joined some programs as the pain of staying in the same situation outweighed my inner intuition
➡️ I believed “anything was possible for everyone no matter the circumstances”, and if I only worked harder, pushed myself more, and cleared one more “block” I could have the same results as *that person (who probably had a bigger support system or was child-free, and probably not sharing the full scope or picture of their challenges)
➡️ I was a first-time mum, with a little kid who had multiple health issues and “never” slept, had no family support, limited childcare, and handling a chronic health condition myself, undiagnosed with ADHD and experiencing sensory overwhelm
➡️ I was trying to make the business work with the strategies and ways that work for neurotypical people, not realising these don’t work for me.
This caused me immense guilt and shame because I thought I was a failure for not being able to make it work as others did, which caused further anxiety and depression.
(I later found out I was neurodivergent and had ADHD, and get overwhelmed with too much sensory input)
➡️ I put other people on a pedestal, gave more weight to their learnings and experiences, and put them above mine, ignoring my inner values, intuition, and experiences
➡️ I joined programs on the back of very high-energy launches, crashing afterward and not being able to bring myself to that same high with the type of learning offered at the time
(Knowing my neuro type now, I have a better idea of what am I looking for and what kind of engagement I need)
Now that I have found out what works for my neurology, knowing my sensory needs, developing deep self-trust and trust in my wisdom, and now being fully clear on my values and integrity – it is so much easier to know what approach works for me, what desires are actually mine and what am I looking for in programs and courses I intend to join so that it supports my neurology.
So when I say that I can understand your journey – now you know why. I was there myself.
It is possible for you to scale a thriving, profitable, AND enriching business, that funds your lifestyle, without compromising on your values or overwhelming your nervous system!
Not all hope is lost, because there are many ways to do that without losing yourself and your soul in the process.
It is possible once you get to know what is truly, and I mean truly, deeply aligned, on a soul and body level and you keep making decisions and taking actions from that space.
Rather than from the space of replicating other people’s strategies and ways that work for them and their neurology, their personal circumstances. And I created a guide to help you refine that process for yourself.
Through all of the ups and downs I’ve gone through over the years, there were many aspects I had to figure out on my own because no one was talking about it in the online spaces.
From navigating all the emotions of disappointment with myself, the mentors & coaches I worked with – to working through the shame of getting to that space.
From unlearning of all the unhelpful beliefs I picked up along the way – to learning to source the wisdom from within.
At the time, I had no one to guide me and tell me what to do, how to navigate those challenging moments and feelings and to tell me where to go next. I am truly grateful I had 2 friends who held the space for me and coached me through some really dark moments, to remind me to come back to my truth and my power.
THIS, THIS is why I have created the “Roadmap to Alignment” guide and why I do what I do in my 1-2-1 work.
So that you can stop saying “yes” to things and people that make you feel “meh”, trying to curb the midlife crisis of your business and replicating other people’s lifestyle and wondering why it’s not working for you.
And that means more of staying true to YOU. Your Business. Your Life. Your Way.
