What if someone could tell you without a shadow of a doubt the way your future will likely unfold if you continue on the exact course you are on this very minute?
Would you be interested?
No, I’m not switching businesses and becoming a psychic 🙂
I ask you that because I know something that you might not be aware of and again I’m no psychic, but I have seen this enough to know that you might be in danger.

Meet Joni* (Names have been changed for privacy sake.)
Joni is an incredibly talented entrepreneur. She’s sweet, charismatic, caring, compassionate and people adore her! She’s married to her soul mate, has a gorgeous home, and is blessed with creativity that flows like an open faucet. Her business is booming and her calendar is booked out 9 months!
BUT…
She’s got a problem and it’s a BIG one.
She is having a hard time finding balance amongst all the awesomeness that is her life.
When she is in work mode, she’s hard-core. She works long hours, stays up late, and often burns the candle at both ends.
When she manages to find time to focus on her ‘home’ life with her hubby, she is constantly trying to make up for lost time.
She’s lost on the teeter-totter of two extremes and no matter what she does she can’t quite find the happy medium.
The result:
She’s frustrated and cranky most days. When she’s focused on her business, she worries about her relationship and the many things at home that feel half-assed or un-done. When she’s at home, she worries about being at work. She thinks: “What if my clients need me? What about the next deadline? The next launch? Did I return all important emails?”
She’s stuck, overwhelmed, and feels guilty about not being where she needs to be and often feels like a failure.
She frequently discounts her successes or over looks them completely because she becomes hyper-focused on the things that aren’t working (aka not being able to find balance).
What on the outside looks like an awesome life, on the inside feels unbalanced and incomplete. She frequently thinks that “if only” she could find the balance between her two very important worlds, she could finally ease into relaxation mode and actually enjoy the magnificent life she has created.
But without being able to see the core issue (which is not the lack of balance in her life), she is destined for a life of exhaustion, fear, frustration, and stuck-ness. She is blind to the belief that is holding her back because she is simply too close to see it. What she thinks is a simple fix that centers around time management and taking a break every now and then is really just a symptom of a deeper issue.
She has a choice. She can continue to try to treat the symptom (i.e. the lack of balance in her life) and experience the brief reprieve that it provides for her or she can choose to seek help. And to be honest, she must first understand and be aware of the consequences of not clearing this issue.
Examples:
- A stressed work life can result in physical illness
- A stressed home life can result in relationship trouble
- A stressed inner life can result in incredible fear, lack of confidence, self-sabotage, and even worse…an unhappy, unfulfilled life.
Getting to the end of her rope and being truly ready to move through this challenge once and for all, Joni reaches out for help. She knows the magnificence that lies on the other side of this struggle and she’s ready to identify and clear the belief that is holding her hostage in exhaustion, fear, and frustration.
The question is are YOU?
Many of you may be able to directly relate to the specific challenge or symptom that Joni has struggled with or you have your own issue that manifests itself in your life or business in your relationships, self-care, time management, procrastination, marketing (or lack thereof), or maybe it is something different.
The point is we all have that one thing that keeps showing up for us over and over again that leaves us feeling drained, frustrated, and just plain stuck. There are some of you who are ready to throw in the towel and accept that ‘this is just the way life is’ and you may even believe ‘you just can’t have it all’.
But I am here to tell you, there IS a solution to your problem and it starts with this first step: You must first know the consequences of continuing on the path you are on and refuse to sacrifice the joy and fulfilling life you are destined for any longer.
That’s it.
Life is supposed to be amazing and you are meant to work through the lessons, beliefs, and challenges that hold us back from that incredible joy. It is part of your journey, but you get to choose if you are ready to move forward and clear it and some of the biggest challenges are those we can’t see directly because we are simply too close.
With that I ask you:
What amazing-ness are you sacrificing by staying stuck? AND Are you ready to take the first step to free yourself from the struggle and frustration?
If so, I invite you to schedule a 30-Minute Consultation to chat with me about your challenges and to see if (like Joni) you are ready to clear them once and for all. No strings attached. So what do you say? Are you ready?
P.S. Don’t forget that the 7-Day Resolution Refresh challenge begins on Monday so if you are in need of some inspiration to get some of those amazing goals knocked off your to-do list, get signed up so you don’t miss a beat!
