Can You Bring Up Personal Issues With Your Business Coach?

Ever wonder if you’re allowed to bring up a personal issue with your business coach?

I suppose it depends on the coach, but in my work with business owners I’m convinced that it’s essential to work through personal stuff.

This topic came up recently while I was a guest on Lisa Arnold’s podcast.

Watch the video to hear more.

I always offer hosts a mini-session with me to experience what I do before we record the interview. Lisa decided to do her session as part of the podcast. (Gutsy!)

When I asked what she wanted to work on, up came a personal issue she hadn’t planned to address. We tapped, and she got a lot of relief and clarity.

Lisa was surprised that someone who works with business owners was willing to tap on a personal issue. In Lisa’s experience, business coaches work with clients’ business issues while life coaches work with clients’ personal issues. So what was I doing combining the two?!

As I explained, a business owner IS her business. If she is struggling with something in her personal life, it’s going to affect her business.

So any business coach who is unwilling or unable to help a client with their personal difficulties is not going to be very effective when life inevitably gets in the way of business-as-usual.

Particularly when they’re working with women business owners who have to juggle so much to keep their businesses and their family/spouse/friends/health/life running smoothly.

The bottom line here is: If your business coach draws a hard line between personal and business with you, consider whether that really is a good fit for you.

If it is, great.

If not, consider looking for someone who can work with both.

And if you’d like to explore whether working with me would be a good fit for you and your business, just hit reply. We’ll set up a time to talk.

I’ll let you know when Lisa’s podcast goes public so you can hear our conversation—and see me do some actual EFT.

In the meantime…

Happy Tapping!

Two Steps If You’re Overwhelmed by the News Now

A friend of mine was telling me about how overwhelmed she is by what’s going on in the Ukraine now. She’s got big reasons to be upset—her company has most of its operations based in that country, and she’s working hard to get all of her people to safety.

It got me thinking about what you can do to lower your stress over what is happening there, whether or not you are directly affected by the war that is happening right now.

So I shot this video of two simple steps to take right away.

See what you can do right now to feel better

Turn off the news as much as you can—entirely if you’re really feeling triggered. My friend can’t do that, but if you’re not directly affected, you can.

If you feel guilty doing this while others are suffering, look for reputable organizations to donate to. One of my favorites is Doctors Without Borders: https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/countries/ukraine

Donating to a cause like that will have a much more positive impact than just ratcheting up your stress by spending a lot of time reading the news.

Do the Zip Up regularly to shield yourself from all the emotional gunk swirling around. I teach the Zip Up to people who are strongly impacted by others’ energy and encourage them to use it at least daily. However, in times like these I notice a lot more people (including me) are feeling the negative energy around them too. To see how it’s done, watch the video.

Sending you love and light, and prayers for peace to all those affected by this war.

Do You Have Too Much Holiday Stress? Try this!

‘Tis that time of year—the Season of Stress.

Too much to do.

Presents to buy.
Cards to send.
Special recipes to make.
Gatherings with family and friends to plan and attend.

Oh, and you have a business to keep running, too? Good luck with that!

Actually, it doesn’t have to be so stressful.

No, I’m not talking about chucking it all and flying to the Bahamas. (Although that does sound intriguing.)

This is about lowering your stress levels so you can enjoy what’s happening around you.

And when your stress comes down, you start to think clearer. Make better decisions for you and your business.

Like, maybe you don’t have to make Aunt Edna’s brussels sprouts this year.

Or you don’t have to get involved with the usual family drama. After all, you could use that time and energy to make a big year-end offer.

How, you say?

Just tap along with my video.

The women leaders in my MVP Clubs asked for it. They know they do so much better in their businesses when they bring down the stress in their personal lives. Then they can focus on what really matters.

I wanted to share it with you, too.

Tap along with it as often as you need to. So you can have an easier, more relaxed December.

Until next time…

Happy Holidays!

Do You Have an Itty Bitty S—— Committee?

“Ivy” came to me to get rid of her Itty Bitty Shitty Committee.

Her fractional CFO business was doing fine, but knew she could do much more if she didn’t have to spend time dealing with the negative messages in her head whenever she thought about growing it.

Her Itty Bitty Shitty Committee told her she was wasting her time creating a new program—no one would want it. Even though clients had been asking for it.

It tried to convince her she really wasn’t good enough to have a successful business. Even though she already had one.

It scoffed at her goals to work with bigger companies as “totally unrealistic.” Even though her contacts in those companies had invited her to send them proposals.

Her committee was so loud, she found herself spending a lot of time going out in nature, just to get a break.

Sound familiar?

Here’s how we got rid of Ivy’s Itty Bitty Shitty Committee:

Itty Bitty Shitty Committees slow down and stop a lot of women entrepreneurs from things like—

Starting a business.
Offering a new product.
Marketing their business
Asking for more money.

Even really successful women have Itty Bitty Shitty Committees. I know because I’ve worked with many of them—just like Ivy.

Using Tapping, Ivy gave her Committee the pink slip.

When she’d sent those negative voices packing, it was blessedly quiet in her head.

She could finally grow her business the way she wanted, without all the back-talk.

If you have a Committee of your own shouting you down whenever you try to move forward, I have something for you.

I made a tap-along video to help you fire your own Itty Bitty Shitty Committee.

Go to https://UnblockResults.com/qz.Take the quiz to find out where your Committee is causing you the most trouble. Or you can skip the quiz and go straight to the videos.

Tap along with the Mindset Video to see yourself as capable of—and deserving—bigger success. And fire your Itty Bitty Shitty Committee.

Then you won’t have to manage those negative messages from your own Committee.

So go ahead. Give your Itty Bitty Shitty Committee the pink slip!

Until next time…

Happy Tapping!

Here’s the Best Advice I Have For Business Owners

Someone asked me what’s the best advice I can give to a business owner.

It didn’t take me long to answer. It’s the advice I wish someone had given me so I wouldn’t have spent years wondering why I wasn’t making any headway with my business.

Here it is: Fix your subconscious before you try to do anything else.

Here’s why you want to change your subconscious first.

I’ve seen it over and over again—someone shells out a huge amount of money for a program that promises to teach them how to grow their business.

Then, a few weeks—or even days—in, they realize they’re stuck.

There’s nothing wrong with the program. It’s just that they’re not following through on it.

Not taking a specific action the program calls for,
Or “pulling their punch” by doing what they’re supposed to, but doing it poorly,
Or procrastinating in general, doing everything but the program they paid so much for.

They’re perfectly capable of following through on the program. They’re just not doing it. Or doing it slooooooowly.

Because…

Something in their subconscious got triggered.

So they’re out all that time and money with little to show for it.

But when they get rid of what is in the way first, they follow through on what will get them the business they want. Easily.

(Even entrepreneurs who seem to have it all together struggle with this. I know because I’ve worked with some. They come in doing well, but knowing they could do better. Once we start releasing subconscious blocks they start hitting their bigger goals.)

If any of this sounds like you, I want you to know it doesn’t mean you’re a bad business owner.

It doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It doesn’t mean the Universe is trying to give you a message that you’re not meant for that kind of success.

It just means you have something in your subconscious that has been getting triggered when you go after your goals. And you can change that.

Please find a way to clear out your subconscious.

Whether with me or with someone else.

Whether through Tapping or another modality.

Change your subconscious.

Do it before you spend a lot of time and money on something you can’t bring yourself to follow through on.

The world needs you to step up in a bigger way but…

You can’t do that when your subconscious is holding you back.

(By the way, in the video I talk about the next MVP Club for women leaders who know they’re meant for more. I’m afraid it’s all sold out now. But there’ll be another one—promise. I’ll tell you more in a bit.)

Until next time…

Happy Tapping!

What Caused Your Subconscious Success Block?

When you realize that there’s something inside of you holding you and your business back, it can be totally frustrating.

You can also start blaming yourself.

Please don’t!

It’s just a subconscious success block that you internalized without realizing it that’s been getting in your way.

A subconscious success block is a message or rule in your subconscious that is sabotaging your conscious plans for your business.

Everyone has internalized rules and beliefs in their subconscious. Some are actually helpful, like don’t walk alone down dark alleys; some…not so much.

But how do those success blocks get into your subconscious in the first place?

You can usually trace them back to old programming that came from—

Explicit messages spoken to or around you,
Implicit messages from what you observed,
Decisions you made from experiences you had.

I describe several subconscious success blocks and where they came from in the video:

Often they come from messages and observations in childhood.

Sometimes they are internalized warnings from something powerful that happened in adulthood.

Sometimes these messages were internalized from religion, the media, or the community around you.

But no matter where they come from, no amount of willpower, or logic, can fully get beyond these once they’re in your subconscious.

They will at least take energy to push past. Energy you could use for something better.

If you don’t want to be slowed down or stopped by your own subconscious, you need to dig those blocks up and release them.

That’s what I do both with my one-on-one clients and in my MVP Clubs—small groups of women leaders who know they’re meant for more where we identify and tap to release blocks in the areas of Mindset, Visibility, and Profitability.

(By the way, in the video I talk about the next MVP Club. I’m afraid it’s all sold out now. But there’ll be another one—promise. I’ll tell you more in a bit.)

So if you realize that you’re holding your business back, look for the subconscious blocks getting in your way and release them.

To get some help with that, just reach out. We’ll talk about what’s going on with you, what’s getting in your way, and if Tapping is a fit.

Happy Tapping!

The Secret Ingredient Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs

There’s one thing every woman entrepreneur needs to grow her business and reach her potential.

To really succeed, we need a supportive group of other women business owners.

Why? Well, three reasons:

You’ll fast forward your growth. The women in the group know the things you don’t even know you don’t know, and they share resources and can answer your questions quickly.
Being around other women business owners who are growing expands your thinking. You start to realize you can do a whole lot more.
Finally, it’s lonely being a business owner. Other women business owners will encourage you to keep going when your latest launch falls flat and cheer you on when you have your best month ever.

Turns out my MVP Clubs give exactly that kind of support to each other.

It wasn’t what I had in mind when I created them. The plan was only that an MVP Club would—

Be a place for women to release blocks in the three areas women leaders often hold themselves back subconsciously, and
Help members uncover and release blocks they didn’t know they had by tapping along with others in the group.

That’s what I expected to happen, and it has. Much more than I expected.

But what has also happened—every time I’ve run a group—is that the women become incredibly supportive of each other.

There is amazing power in this. Everyone feels accepted and knows that they’re not the only one struggling with tough issues.

And everyone gets encouragement to do much more than they ever thought they could.

Which leads to big growth.

You can find out more about the MVP Club at
https://unblockresults.com/the-mvp-club/

So if you’re a woman entrepreneur and haven’t joined a group like this yet, please find one that can give you that kind of emotional support, share resources you need, show you what’s possible, and cheer you on as you grow—whether that’s the MVP Club or another group of positive, supportive women leaders.

And if the MVP Club is calling to you, I’m starting a new one.

Just reach out. We’ll set up a time to talk about what’s holding you back and see if the MVP Club is a fit.

Hope I hear from you soon

Happy Tapping!

The Club Women Business Owners Join When They Know They’re Ready For More

You know you and your business are capable of more—
More Money.
More Clients.
More Impact.

And yet…something keeps holding you back.

To find out more about how your subconscious gets in your way and what to do to change that, watch this:

Please know, there’s nothing wrong with you. And you’re not alone.

But you need to release the subconscious success blocks that have been holding you back. At least if you want to reach your potential.

That’s what we do in my MVP Club.

We get rid of blocks in three areas:

Mindset (the “M” in “MVP”), those doubts that get in the way of seeing yourself as capable of and deserving more success,

Visibility (“V”), those fears that keep you from showing up in a bigger way, and

Profitability (“P), the gunk that keeps you from asking for, making or keeping more money.

And…

It’s time for another MVP Club to start! Yay! (And the crowd goes wild.)

In the one that just ended last week, all the women had such great results they signed up for another go round.

So I’m starting a new one.

Here’s the timing. We start in 3 weeks. The twelve sessions will run for about four months since we’re taking some Fridays off, especially holidays.

Some of the results people got inside the club this last go-round are:

Having their highest revenue months. Ever.
Being invited to talk to groups showcasing their expertise.
Stepping onto stages, and presenting on video, with more confidence.
Hiring ideal team members to support them as they grow.
Scheduling—and taking—real downtime.
Creating (and selling) new big-ticket items.

And I’m sure I’ve forgotten some of the things they shared.

To find out more about what happens in the MVP Club and who it’s for, check out https://UnblockResults.com/the-mvp-club/.

I’ve set aside some times for you in my calendar this week and next to talk about what’s going on with you, answer any questions you have, and—if there’s a fit—get you enrolled. Just hit reply to this email and we can set up a time to talk.

I can’t wait for you to meet the other great women in the MVP Club!

Use This to Find Out If the Patriarchy is Preventing Your Profitability

Do you have an old patriarchal rule getting in the way of making, keeping or managing your money?

In the video I identify several, then walk you through a way to test each one to see if it’s in your subconscious:

Women often have an outdated rule or two about money from the Patriarchy rattling around in their subconscious.

Messing with their profitability.

Pretty much any rule that has “a man” or “men” in it probably has its roots in the Patriarchy. A really common one is “I shouldn’t make more than a man.”

You might also find the Patriarchy behind any rule that contains “a woman” or “women.” Like “Women can’t handle money well.”

Then there’s my favorite, “I should be taken care of by a man.” This one has tripped up more independent, confident clients than any of us ever expected.

Now, none of these powerful women consciously agree with any of these sexist, misogynistic statements.

They reject them. Absolutely.

But there they are, hiding out in their subconscious.

Luckily, once we’ve found one we can tap and release it for good.

Ready to discover some Patriarchal Profitability rules in your own subconscious?

Here’s how I do that with my clients.

First, I come up with a list of possible subconscious rules that might be getting in a client’s way.

I have my client repeat each one and rate it on a scale of 0-100 percent for how true or powerful it feels. (0=no power to it at all; 100=it feels totally true, even though you know it’s not.)

The higher the number, the more powerfully it’s holding you back.

There are different ways to get your rating: (i) emotionally—”it feels 82% true”; (ii) physically—like a punch in the gut or heaviness in your body that “feels 75% powerful”; or (iii) if you’re like me, you just have a number pop into your head and accept that as your rating.

Okay, here we go.

Read each statement from this list of a few common patriarchal profitability blocks out loud. (That makes a difference.) Then give it a rating from 0-100 percent for how true or powerful it feels to you.

“I shouldn’t make more than a man”
“I shouldn’t make more than my father.” [You can substitute “my brother” or another male relative.]
“Women can’t make more than men.”
“Women shouldn’t make more than men.”
“I don’t need to make as much as a man.”
“No one will love me if I make too much.”
“I should be taken care of by a man.”
“Women aren’t good with numbers.”
“Women don’t handle money well.”
“Women don’t make good decisions.”
“I’m not good with money.”
“I don’t handle money well.”
“I don’t make good decisions.”

Anything that’s got a charge over 10% will slow your Profitability down. And the higher the number, the bigger the effect it will have on you.

So did you have any high earners? Or do you have money issues that don’t seem to match up to what I had you say here?

I’d love to know. Just reply to this email and tell me what came up for you. (I read every email personally.)

One more thing. Just because you have an old rule in your subconscious does not mean you’re stuck with it.

You can get rid of it.

Happy Tapping!
