Self-concept and upleveling

I took part in a 1 month business coaching over the last month to get the support I needed to uplevel my business. I’m a skin and wellness therapist. I do facials, gua sha, reflexology, aromatherapy. Business has been going wel but my next step is to create a path for clients with skin problems or those just wanting to take care of their skin holistically as they age.

My self concept upleveling has been to root into trusting myself so I could make more confident and assured choices of what I want my business to become.

The fact I even invested in myself to receive this support is a big win to celebrate.

There has been an uplevel for sure. I managed to make some good decisions and created some paths forward.

But at the same time I feel frustrated with myself. I spent too much of my month toiling in indecision. In some ways that’s part of why I invested in the support, to have another business mind to help me decide how to move my business forward. But I have an underlying niggle that I have not felt confident enough in myself and that is the root of the in decision. That and capacity.

My goal for the season was about moving forward with my business without compromising my health and becoming too depleted. I’ve used this as an anchor to pull me back from going too far. But at the same time the extra CEO thinking work is exhausting. And I feel very tired.

What I know I now need to do is recharge and carry out the nessesary marketing for the decisions made during the business coaching. But the niggle I have is distracting me and putting my attention in other coaching containers or other courses I should do to become the expert.

So overall it’s positive. I’m proud of what I’ve done this season for my business and my growth. But how best to work with this niggle of doubt? In the past I would push it down but at the same time I’d let myself ping from distractions of a shiny new course and working with that thought leader. It all stems from lacking self confidence and avoiding the marketing where I have to be seen.

Acknowledging it and asking for your insights…
