A Great Book to Celebrate International Women’s Day—and it’s mine!

Two good things happening today: It’s International Women’s Day and my new book is launching.

Yay, Women! I’m convinced that more women in leadership positions is key to improving lives worldwide. And it’s really about time for this kind of change.

My new book supports more women becoming leaders in their business, their industry, and the world. It’s Your First Year: What I Wish I’d Known: Lessons from Women Entrepreneurs for Women Entrepreneurs. (What a mouthful!)

I’m one of twenty-two contributors to this book that lets women starting a business—or who have an established business and could use the insights—know what will support them as they build and grow their businesses.

(Wish I’d known more of these best practices before I started. It would have saved me lots of mis-steps.)

It’s broken down into five sections, filled with stories and essential tips:

  • Mindset, where my chapter—Don’t Let Your Subconscious Ruin Your Business—lives,
  • Foundations, which includes issues like legal set-up and bookkeeping,
  • Marketing, sooo key to having a successful business,
  • Lifestyle, with chapters on setting boundaries to protect your time and the importance of not neglecting your body, and
  • Adversity, for when life/business/everything gets tough.

Learn more and get your own copy today at YourFirstYearBook.com.

And if you know a woman with a business, this is a great gift to support her.

Please let me know what you think of the book.

Happy Tapping!

Want a Mindset Makeover? (It’s free)

I”m dropping in to make sure you’ve heard about the Mindset Makeovers I’m doing next week.

Six Degrees Society is hosting a virtual event with me for women business owners next Wednesday, September 21st, at 6 pm East Coast Time. There will be good networking, and I’ll be speaking a bit about EFT/Tapping.

I’ll also tap with as many volunteers as I can on subconscious blocks slowing down their business growth. I never know what will come up in these Mindset Makeovers, so it’s a bit of a tightrope walk for me. (Fun!)

More importantly, people who have done these with me before have gotten big changes in twenty minutes or less. It’s always fascinating to see what happens.

Nancy Linnerooth

The event is free to Six Degrees Society members, but as a first-time attendee you can also get a free ticket. Just click here, add the event to a “shopping cart”, then use the code “NANCY-LINNEROOTH” (oh look, that’s my name!).

Let me know if you need any help with the ticket.

Hope to see you there, and…

Happy Tapping!

Two Tap-Along Approaches for Stress. (And Lawyers!)

When the amazing Molly McGrath—podcast host of Hire & Empower and owner of Hiring & Empowering Solutions, a law firm management consultancy—invited me to her podcast to talk about how Tapping can help lawyers and those who work with them, I jumped on the opportunity.

Listen to the podcast—

—or watch and tap along with the interview:

You can also tune in to Molly’s “Hire & Empower” podcast here.

Here are some of the highlights of what Molly and I talked about.

  • Many people have subconscious blocks preventing them from asking for more money and getting more clients. Tapping can release those and other blocks you uncover.
  • Anything happening in your business or personal life can affect your company.
  • It only takes a few minutes to Tap to lower your stress and think better.
  • People feel like they can’t hire until they make more money, but hiring earlier actually opens up opportunities as well as the capacity to bring in more business and make more money.
  • People tend to internalize how hard they have to work, especially by feeling like they have to stay late and be more stressed.
  • You also get to hear a bit about my nine years as an attorney. Back in the Dark Ages. Bonus!

Molly and I did two types of Tapping for stress, which lawyers and those who work in law firms often need. Desperately.

Tap along with us. Aspirin Tapping for stress (a very simple approach) starts at 18:10. Stream-of-Consciousness style Tapping for stress (a more in-depth style) starts at 26:42 on the podcast.

Happy Tapping!

Tap Along to Release the Fear That Success Would Be Overwhelming

Micha Goebig had already founded a very successful translation business. In spite of that success, she knew she was holding herself back in her second business. gobigcoaching.com

Having worked together several years earlier, we were able to identify and bring down Micha’s subconscious belief that, if she were as successful with the newer business as with her first one, she would be overwhelmed.

Watch as Nancy releases Micha’s subconscious block with EFT/Tapping.

That block went from feeling 85% powerful to less than 15% powerful in just twenty minutes. Not a bad bit of work.

A few interesting points about this session:

  • A different limiting belief underlying that fear of overwhelm was a “rule” she internalized at school that she wasn’t supposed to excel in two areas—she had to choose one.
  • Although she is obviously more than fluent in English now, it’s not Micha’s first language. So you’ll notice a difference in how powerful one subconscious block was in English versus when Micha said it in German.
  • A second block we identified but did not tap on also came down somewhat. That often happens with related subconscious blocks.

Go ahead and tap along with Micha in the video. That can actually start releasing blocks in your own subconscious, even if you don’t have the same ones we work on.

Ready to release what’s holding you back? Just reach out. We’ll set up a time to talk about what’s going on with you and see if Tapping is a fit.

Happy Tapping!

Is Worry Getting In the Way of Your Abundance?

A client asked me to create a tap-along video for her to take her from worrying about money to feeling confident that plenty is already on its way.

Watch the video to hear more.

If you’re into Law of Attraction (as my client is), you know that worrying about something can slow down the arrival of what you want. So it takes longer to bring in the money you’re hoping for.

Worse, your worry may actually make that thing you’re worried about happen.

That means worrying about not having enough money may lead to not having enough money.

So by all means stop worrying about it!

But even if you’re not buying this manifesting-what-you-want-or-don’t-want-by-how-you-feel malarkey (as critics might say), there are still a couple of really good reasons to let go of any worrying about finances you’re doing. Especially if you’re a business owner.

First, that worry will pull your focus and energy off of actions that will bring in the cash. That can definitely slow down your income. (A bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there.)

Second, worrying makes you less…attractive…to potential clients and customers.

Think about it. When you see someone under a cloud of worry, does that inspire confidence in you? Do you want to work with them? Buy from them?

Didn’t think so.

So when you’re worrying, you’re not showing up at your best, and probably costing yourself some money that way.

What’s the answer?

Easy.

Stop worrying about money.

Maybe that doesn’t sound so easy when the bills are piling up. But you can do it with some Tapping.

Here’s a pattern I often use to lower clients’ money worries: start tapping while saying all the things you’re worried about.

Not selling enough programs. Not being able to pay your team. Having to go live under a bridge. That sort of thing.

Then (still tapping) remind yourself of all the times you’ve gotten out of difficult situations. All the times money has shown up when you needed it. How you survived even when it didn’t. (You must have, right? You’re still standing!)

At this point clients often get a feeling that God/Goddess/the Universe/their Higher Selves are looking out for them. Even when money is tight.

Tap on that, too.

Tapping in this pattern gets Worry to loosen up so you can put your focus and energy on things you can do that are muuuuuuch more productive than biting your nails.

If you’d like some help lowering your own worries—whether about money or about something else—so you can grow your business, just email me. We’ll set up a time to talk about what’s going on with you and if tapping can help.

Happy Tapping!

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!
