Ruth Lane Confidence Coach

Another question...

What would you charge if fear wasn't making the decision?

And I don't mean what you think people will pay or what some people may believe your products or services are worth...

I mean.. what's the figure that you'd charge if those nasty voices in your head weren't sticking their oar in?

Write that number down and put it where you will see it daily!

I have no doubt that number will be uncomfortable to write at first and maybe even uncomfortable to see....

But...

The more you see it, the more comfortable you become with it.

Remember... we don't build confidence overnight... its built when we repeat actions or have repeated exposure to things that currently feel scary.

For now.. Start getting comfortable with the number the reflects where you'd like to confidence to catch up to 💪

A very important question for all you self employed folks or business owners...

Can you, hand on heart, say that you absolutely charge your worth?

No judgment either way - pricing can be a really scary part of running your own business.

In the comments....

Give me a 😁 for 100% charging your worth.
Give me a 😳 if you know you should perhaps charge more.

It's Friday which, for many parents, is the last day of the school year for their kids.

It can also be a scary time for newer small business owners because they need to juggle between child care and keeping their business afloat.

Who is feeling a bit anxious about it?

And, if you've been there, done that... what advise would you give to those who are feeling that way now?

'So, I am going to start my own business.

It's going to be brilliant.

I'm going to make millions of sales of become fully booked within 2 weeks of starting.

And... I've got absolutely no concerns, no worries, no doubt, no niggling feelings... what so ever.'

Said no one .... EVER!!

It's normal to have doubt and second guess some decisions.
It's normal to think 'am I making the right decision?'
It's normal to worry where your business will come from.

Noone goes it alone and has it all 100% perfectly planned out.
Everyone has bumps in the road.

What's matters is how much time you give these negative thoughts.

For each negative thought, write at least one positive response. Then, when you get these thoughts again you can push back a little.

These negative thoughts will then get less and less.

You were meant to do this so go do it 💪

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm working behind the scenes on something I'm super excited about 😍

A brand new coaching programme designed to help people regain their confidence and become the person they were meant to be.

It's still being refined because I want it to be the very best it can be but, I can honestly say, it's the programme I've always wanted to create.

I'll be opening spaces for my new 1:1 coaching programme very soon followed by my new small group coaching programme.

I'd you'd like to be one of the first to hear when they're released (no obligation to join) then send me a message or comment below saying WAITLISTGROUP or WAITLIST1:1, and I'll add you to the list.

I really can't wait to share more with you 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Even coaches need coaches 👌

And, I'm absolutely loving mine.

The clarity I've got.
The new ideas that have come to me.
The new vision for me and what I want to do.

I'm currently working on my new programme and how I'll be working with clients moving forward..

I'm so excited 💪

This is just a reminder that it's okay to change your mind in your business. What you want in day one may not be what you want in day 400 and that's absolutely okay 👌

I'm really excited for this 😁

What has been the best thing about running your own business/being self employed?

I don't just mean the sales, something more personal...

For me, there are a few things...

✨️ The flexibility to work around my family. Its the reason I did it in the first place but, blimey am I so grateful 🙏🏽
✨️ My personal growth and I'm proud of my achievements. I know how far I've become and I am so happy 💪
✨️ The friendships I've made along the way. I've been so lucky to have met the wonderful people I have and those that I can call a friend 💖

What about you?

Last year I designed a workbook to help reduce anxiety and stress and help improve self-esteem.

It includes;

✨️To Do List
✨️Daily Evaluation
✨️Gratitude Journal
✨️Journal Prompts
✨️Positive Affirmations

I designed it knowing what helped me, and still helps me.

Use it to gain focus each day, and allowing yourself to see what and how much you achieve, it'll be more than you realise, and will help you improve your self-esteem.

Order it directly through this link or message me and get a small reduction if you collect directly from me on Hawksyard Estate.

The early photos always make me smile 😃

The first set reminded me of when I desperately wanted to be good but doubted myself more than I believed in myself 😳

The second set reminds me that progress doesn't happen overnight. It happens one client, one mistake, one lesson and one attempt at a time.

We can be so focused on how far we still have to go that we forget to look back and see just how far we've already come.

If you're building a business and feeling like you're not 'there' yet, don't forget, one day you'll look back at where you are today and realise it was just the beginning 💪

The people who succeed aren't always the most talented. Alot of the time, they're the ones who keep going long enough to learn.

You've got a business idea 💡

It's an amazing one 😍

You are super excited 🥳

You are about to take action 💪

Then BOOM..... fear kicks in and then comes the excuses...

I can't do it now because....

I really need to sort this first....

I go on holiday in 2 months, I'll do it after that...

When this happens, just take a breather. Sit down and recognise your excuses as just fear sneaking in.

Remember... tomorrow is never promised!

Look inward and see how amazing you are!

You have an exciting vision. A plan. A goal. An exciting new chapter.

Yes... it may fail.
Yes... people may judge.
Yes... it may be tough.

But wow... it could also be the most amazing thing you've ever done in your life! 😍😍😍😍
