It’s not always an easy question to answer — but it always means you need to take the time to think about it and listen carefully to what you’re feeling deep inside.
A beautiful and talented Free Mama I work with recently had a major breakthrough. When she joined the Movement, she kept talking about how much she wanted to uplevel. It was really important to her to go big in her VA business because her husband really believed in her.
Every time I pushed her to go deeper on her why, we came back to her husband. He really wants me to do this, she told me again and again.
And every time, I’d ask her, “And what do you want?”
I want to make this work because my husband believes in me, she’d say.
Around and around we’d go.
In the meantime, the work felt hard for her. She was absolutely capable of doing it, but something was… out of alignment. Despite the work she was putting in, this smart, driven woman wasn’t getting real traction in her business.
Sure, she had small victories along the way — just enough to keep her from throwing up her hands and walking away. But despite the massive amounts of personal growth happening, she wasn’t having the business breakthroughs she wanted.
Right up until we figured out that what she really wants is to coach.
She wasn’t getting anywhere as a VA or OBM because that’s not where her heart is. Her heart is in COACHING other women. She’s deeply connected to that business model. When she talks about that, even her posture changes.
Now, don’t misunderstand. It’s not like the moment she declared that she wants to be a coach, everything fell into place for this Free Mama, and the work became rainbows and sunflowers, and everything was easy.
There’s still fear, imposter syndrome, and a lot of significant, hard work ahead. But you have to go through those things when you’re finding alignment in your business.
But it’s different. It feels challenging, but not insurmountable. It feels exciting instead of overwhelming.
