It’s so much more than…

I was talking with my coach the other day and I got incredibly emotional talking about my business, the impact and the work that I’ve been doing…and it is so much more than what I’ve been sharing. Each day more and more connections form in my brain as I’ve been writing the lesson text and graphics for the HD Your Biz Program. I can see the collection of my experiences, and learnings coalesce in a body of work that is so much bigger.

The reality is for much of my business I played in the shallow end of the pool. I played it safe. I offered strategy and action tips. I gave systems and processes to make thing easier, simpler, and more actionable.

While all of that is important work I’ve also realized that is just the surface of the impact that I want to make. At the end of the day none of that stuff will work if you are saying yes to it from a place of misalignment. If you don’t believe in it. If you are simply going through the motions of it. If you are holding conditioning or trauma. Or it simply isn’t in alignment with your gut instinct.

I naturally reflected on clients and even my own journey when I’ve had success and when I haven’t. The times in my own life when I’ve experienced the most success and satisfaction in my work is when I’ve thrown out all the rules and trusted myself even when it didn’t make any sense.

Which brings me to swimming out into the depths…The reality is the work I am here to do is so much more than a strategy or tip or system…It is work with depth. It is transitioning from the shallows out into the depths of the water where you can no longer see the bottom. To help you see that you had the answer all along and you can trust yourself even when you don’t know how deep the water is. This is the work I am here to do. And it’s so much more than just me…

The challenge for each of us is to swim out into the depths and discern who we really are. To peel back the layers and layers that have been put on us over the years and get back to who you were always meant to be. Slowly over time becoming more and more of that person.

Learning to get into your body and be grounded in the present moment. Leveraging your strengths while becoming aware of your weaknesses. Realizing that each of us have a unique gift to bring to the world and when we each embody those gifts we are all part of a greater whole. Allowing yourself to really be seen. Embracing and giving ourselves permission to live whole as we are. Stepping into our power and working towards the greater good.

This is so much more than business or strategy or human design. It’s about becoming. While I don’t claim to be expert in all or any of this. I hold space for my knowing, my experiences and all that I am yet to become and learn…I intend to build a community for entrepreneurs who want to swim out into the deep and become. And in this…

It is taking the risk to build a business and pursue your dreams

It’s about freedom whatever that means to you

It’s about breaking free from the box you’ve been put in

It’s about expanding

It is about making a contribution

It is about embodying your leadership, power and strengths

It is about impacting the lives of others

It is about leading future generations by practicing what we preach so they don’t spend the better part of their adult life having to “figure it out”

It’s about embracing ease and flow

It’s about being in our energy and our bodies

It is about being in the here and now.

Its about challenging the status quo, the culture, and norms handed down

It’s about breaking the generational wheel of the way things have always been done

It’s about living fearlessly

It’s about embracing polarity

It’s about holding space for duality

It’s about critically thinking

It’s about being mindfull

It’s about stepping into our power and owning what makes us unique

It’s about accumulating wealth — whatever that means to you

It’s about living your dreams not just talking about them

It’s about falling apart so better things can come together.

It’s about saying yes to you.

Its about feeling settled but never settling

It’s about knowing how worthy you truly are.

Its about being a rebel but not just for the sake of breaking the rules but because you know in every fiber of your being it is what is best for you, your business and your future.

It’s about you.

You mission.

Your impact.

Your individuality.

Your contribution.

Your part in our world

It’s about becoming the best you. In business. In life. In every relationship. In every moment.

It’s about not getting to the end of your life and wishing you had lived more.

It’s about living now in the moment

Making the most of every single day

Enjoying the now.

Embracing being human — the highs and the lows.

It’s about swimming out into the depths where you can’t see the bottom with a knowing you will be able to swim regardless of the waves. That you will be safe. That you are loved and accepted. That you are whole as you are. That you are part of a greater whole. That you have a bigger purpose.

And to live that purpose you must be willing to go into the depths. To wade out from the shallows…to learn to trust…

To truly live.

With all of that…I hope you can see that it is so much more…so swim with me into the depths…take that leap of faith from the shallows. Wade out step by step into the depths.

Are you ready to step out into the depths…
