As I have moved through my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve become obsessed with diving into what helps women create exponential growth as business owners and have spent a lot of time and money learning all I can to help myself reach my fullest potential.
What I love is that I am then able to pass this wisdom on to the women I then serve to help them fully step into their power too.
One thing I’ve learned along the way is that creating success is not just about hitting a certain goal, it’s about who you ARE through the process.
You have to BECOME the woman you need to be to get you to where you want to go, which requires you adopting the habits of someone who is already achieving the level of success you want to see.
From very early on in my business, I knew that if I wanted to make the impact I wanted to as a coach and business owner, I’d need to step into that role of a leader and adopt a new set of habits that would support me in that growth.
I began to look at what other successful women had in common and began to incorporate their habits and behaviours into my own life too.
Here are the 5 habits which I believe have truly had a huge impact on my own growth.
Mediation – It is often something that people claim not to have the time for, but the interesting thing is that meditation actually allows you to claw back time in your day.
I find the clarity I get through meditation can turn a 1 hour task into a ten minute task. Not only that, but it helps me overcome fears and doubts which often lead to procrastination. Meditation has now become second nature to me and something I and many other successful women do daily.
Stand on the shoulders of giants – Starting my business, I quickly realised that the women who were achieving incredible things had not gone alone. They had been led by someone who’d already created the level of success they wanted to see.
The quickest, most efficient route from A to B is by following the path that someone else has already walked, which is why I continue to invest time and time again into coaches and mentors to support me.
Visualisation – Getting total clarity on what I want and more importantly, what it will FEEL like having it is something I practice daily.
When I was still in a job, trying to take my business full time, every morning I would imagine what life would look like and how I would feel being the successful business owner, working for myself and on my terms.
Embodying all of those feelings as vividly as possible helped me get into the energy of already being in possession of my desires, which is the fastest way to manifest something into existence.
Gratitude – One of my favourite phrases is “be thankful for what you have whilst working for what you want”.
Whilst starting out, it felt like I had nothing to be thankful for, yet I knew that in that space of lack (not enough money/time/freedom/joy)I would only create more lack.
To receive abundantly, I needed to be in the receptive mode, which meant giving thanks to everything in my life, including the things I was yet to receive.
I practice gratitude daily and this habit has stuck with me because I know that gratitude is a magnet for success and abundance.
My morning goddess ritual – This is a daily habit I will practice each morning without fail as it makes me feel like a goddess and I know it has had a huge impact on my business success.
The ritual involves reading, (normally this consists of a few pages from whatever inspiring book I’m reading at the time) journalling, (this will often be about my goals or giving gratitude for things in my life) meditation, (at least twenty minutes per day) exercise, (normally a few quick rounds of sun salutations) and drinking a green juice (normally pure celery juice).
I will then also say a few affirmations about what I want or who I want to be before spending five to ten minutes looking at my vision boards.
I find that this routine helps me raise my vibration first thing and this energy then supports me through the rest of the day.
