10 Mindset Shifts that Helped Me Base my Business in Pleasure
1. Rarely are things truly an emergency. Rarely do things need to be dealt with urgently. I let myself pause until I can respond rather react. The level of ease this helps me feel in my business is tremendous.
2. Seeing my clients, my students, my people as fiercely capable has been a game changer. In a codependent culture where it's normal to feel like we need to put ourselves on a pedestal in order to help anyone, seeing our people as fiercely capable is healing, it's radical and it invites them to grow and change in such a profound ways.
3. I am not attached to any specific client or student to work with me. I let the process of answering questions be fun and my choice. I don't ever communicate from resentment or expectation. People show up at out nowhere all of the time. I've learned to trust the process and make answering questions a helpful part of learning how to better communicate my work.
4. I rarely incentivize pay in fulls. While sometimes they can be helpful, offering and receiving payment plans is not only generous, it creates a lot of financial security and predictability in my nervous system and business. They work because I have many of them and I trust my clients.
5. Practicing discernment! I don't take every opportunity that comes my way, I have my plans and those plans take time and energy to execute. When someone comes into my inbox with a potential opportunity or collaboration, if it's not a pretty immediate hell yes in my body, it's a no.
6. Visibility/high follower count doesn't automatically equal financial abundance and security. Many of these big accounts are struggling financially. Visibility and selling are different skills. I've learned to know this difference and focus on which goal I'm working on.
7. Wealth and abundance are not just about the numbers in our accounts. There are people who have hundreds of thousands of dollars and are still anxious as fuck about money, don't trust themselves and don't feel safe. I've learned that numbers alone don't automatically make someone feel safe so implementing nervous regulation work in my money healing been life changing for me and my clients.
8. Investing in myself comes back to me ten fold, especially when I decide it does. Meaning, I make the trainings I take work for me, I hunt for the gold, I notice how they are changing my life and so they do! This not only helps me learn the most and get a lot out of the trainings I take, but helps me deeply trust myself and the decisions I make with money.
9. I let myself be messy. I learn and builds skills way faster through repetition, experimenting and lettings myself be imperfect rather than hyper fixating on getting it exactly the first time. Through trial and error and repetition, my work gets better and better over time.
10. I focus on process oriented goals. This one feel the most important to pleasure based business. Along with choosing tangibles goals like how much money I would like to make, I orient to goals on how I want to FEEL while doing the work I do. For example, my processing goal for marketing is letting it feel fun, easy and staying connected to myself.
