You have created a successful career for yourself. Your business is thriving, you are doing all the right things to pave a path that you have desired for so long.
So why is it that you are suddenly feeling stuck despite this success you have created?
After working with hundreds of women intimately as a coach, mentor and guide, here are 14 reasons you may be feeling stuck and stagnant despite creating your version of success in the work you are here to do.
The 14 Reasons
1. You work harder to try and produce more, yet you are still feeling empty on the inside despite having good results. In fact, the harder you work the more you feel like you are a hamster on a wheel of no return.
2. In contrast, the more you try and embody “ease and flow” to get yourself out of hustle mode, you still feel like you need to be working harder to make an impact and you feel like you can’t truly rest and relax.
3. You feel connected to your work but you feel out of alignment with your passions outside of your business. You realise you have lost touch with what fulfilled you outside of your business and instead of spending time on working this out, you find yourself working on your business time and time again.
4. There is a feeling of wanting “more” that you can’t shake. More income, more impact and everything people tell you that you need and this has kept you feeling in a void constantly chasing ambition.
5. You constantly talk about your work and have the realisation that this is all you talk about. Your friends and family are starting to notice this too and are making remarks that make you second guess yourself.
6. Despite earning great money, you still feel an element of emptiness inside and are not sure what to do about it. You realise that although you consistently hit your income targets, there is a feeling that you just can’t shake off.
7. You equate “success” to productivity. The more you work and start seeing results, the harder you keep working to try and get more done. You have read all the productivity books and have all the tools but they still don’t work for you.
8. You no longer feel called to continue doing the work you are doing. Your heart is begging you to pivot into the work you truly desire. This is the work you have been wanting to do in your business when you started, yet you found yourself starting a business based only on what you knew (not necessarily in what you enjoyed) because this is what you were told works.
9. You realise that your identity is deeply rooted in your business and you don’t know who you are outside of your work anymore.
10. When you think about your desires outside of your business, you don’t know what they are. You realise you used to have these hobbies that you loved doing, and it has been years since you have done any of them and you yearn for more time and space to do these things again.
11. You are stuck on a personal development hamster wheel and keep chasing that next course, program or mentor to advance your business.
12. You have lost your creative mojo. You used to love writing, creating content and doing the things in your business that you know are needed, but instead of feeling like a creative genius, you find yourself procrastinating on doing this work. You feel like your feminine energy is blocked.
13. Listening to your intuition becomes second to you following a certain strategy. You stopped listening to your inner voice a while ago in turn for growing your business.
14. You feel lonely. Despite having healthy business relationships, your personal relationships need nurturing and you have lost touch with friends.
Overcoming This Feeling
So, if any of these resonate, what should you do?
1. Reconnect to yourself. Get clear on your values, your thought processes and your current way of operating. What are your day to day thoughts? Where do you feel needs to shift?
2. Embody your intuitive intelligence and become aware of what your body is telling you. Learn to not only listen to your body but act on what you are being called to.
3. Serve at your highest. Uncover your unique essence and dial up your knowing so that you feel connected in both your business and within yourself.
This is where the magic happens and is some of the work my clients experience working privately with me.
