A few weeks back I wrote this post about the importance of investing in yourself. I felt a fire in my belly as I wrote it because I do believe we each deserve to invest the time, effort, and money into who we want to be. Whether we are treating ourselves to a nice hair cut or coffee or hiring a personal coach to help us get to our goals, we deserve it. And what I was getting at in that post was that far too many people don’t see the value in doing those things.
Looking back at it now I found, I was one of them.
Even as I wrote the post, I could feel the resistance building within about a particular investment that I knew I needed to make, but was deeply afraid of. I could feel myself splitting hairs because while I am more likely to treat myself to nice things and invest time into myself, investing large sums of money into my own personal growth hadn’t happened.
So what wasn’t I doing that I knew I needed to do?
I wasn’t hiring the coach I knew I needed.
Here I was a life coach who was asking the amazing women that needed me most to invest in themselves by working with me and I wasn’t willing to do the same thing.
Sure, I had a ton of excuses as to why I couldn’t do it.
- I don’t have the money.
- I don’t have the time.
- Is that what I really need right now?
But what I was really afraid of was this:
I wasn’t 100% sure the coaching would work for me.
Yep, even as a coach that works with clients daily on mindset stuff, I was dealing with my own gremlins.
I was afraid that it wouldn’t work for me. That my business was somehow different from all the success stories I had heard from other women who had worked with this particular coach. I let fear win.
But then…
A few weeks after I wrote that post about investing in yourself, I felt this intuitive pull to hire an EFT practitioner to help me through some of the gremlins I was working through. I didn’t think twice, I just signed up and took the leap. And I have to tell you it was one of the best things I have done for myself AND my business in a long time.
But I didn’t stop there, I also invested in some additional training for social media work I desperately needed. (cha-ching)
And that wasn’t it either. A week after investing in that, I invested in the coach I needed to hire to begin with. She had an offer I couldn’t refuse and to be honest, my intuition was telling me this was something I needed. Not just for my business and personal growth, but also because it was way past time for me to walk my talk.
In the last month or so of investing in myself and my business, I learned that my fears were unfounded. After my first investment in the EFT session, I saw immediate results in my business. I had new clients coming out of the woodwork and was amazed at it all. After the second investment, more amazing things were happening. More inspiration, clients, and opportunities were flowing and after investing in my coach…well the same thing happened.
It boils down to this. When you decide to invest time, money, and energy into yourself, the Universe begins to take you more seriously and miraculous things start happening.
So, my dear dreamer…when was the last time you took the leap and invested the $$ into yourself, your dreams, and your goals?
I know it’s scary. I know you wonder if it will work for you. You wonder if it’s the ‘right’ step for you and I assure you, if you are thinking of hiring a coach, it IS the right step for you. Listen to your intuition and follow the tug of your heart. Now is your time to shine an I want to help you in any way that I can.
