The 5 Costs of Misalignment
It can be easy to stay super busy by taking action in our lives and businesses. #productivity #hustleculture
But if the actions we are taking are not aligned to our deepest blueprint, our inner knowing, then we aren't truly operating in our highest gifts that will transform our revenue and results. We might be treading water, or "wasting time", instead of being laser-focused on what will drive traction.
And acting with misalignment comes at a cost. More specifically, 5 costs.
Missed Revenue
Knowing who you are and being aligned with how you serve in your business is the key to revenue, both for new fans and returning customers.
Are you meant for deep work with a few clients? Or are you meant for creating a large and expansive platform?
In retail, are you known for higher-end, exquisite experiences? Or being able to replicate quickly at scale?
Do you love to teach? Or do you thrive on making and mastery and deliver hands-on, “done-for-you” service?
Knowing your gifts can fully light you up for a premiere experience that you love to sell and generates raving fans.
Wasted Time
Sure, you can be busy doing "all the things". But how much of that busy is because you are misaligned and indecisive - and it's costing you time?
I bet with true strategic planning - that stems from your purpose - you could gain back 💥10 hours per week💥 to focus on your life. You go from "busy and overwhelmed" to "purposeful and intentional".
When you are crystal clear on your strategy and the next steps that are aligned with your gifts, your values, and your "why" - tasks take less time AND less energy. They are purposeful, and happen when they are supposed to happen.
Missing your “Dream Team”
It's hard to retain or attract your ideal and aligned team members when you're micromanaging, when you are scattered, when you have challenges delegating.... and all of those issues can crop up when you are not focused in your business. When you aren't clear and aligned with yourself and your mission - so you can't clearly set outcomes for your team.
And you can only build a team of A-Players when you are lit up about your mission, know your gifts, and are prepared to elevate your team into THEIR gifts.
Can you grant yourself permission to lean into your knowing about you, your gifts, your work, and where you can honestly grow faster by tapping into the brilliance in the team around you?
Exhaustion and Burnout
When you're indecisive or misaligned in your business, you try everything.
You see what sticks on the wall. You try what teachers tell you, what pundits tell you - and what works for them worked for THEM.
That might not be what YOU need to do.
I see too many people these days (myself included), running so hard, with so many ideas, confident in none of them. And the anxiety and the indecision causes franticness, overwhelm, and overworking.
Leading to exhaustion and burnout.
What if you felt clear about you, your gifts, and your value - and what that means for your next steps in your business?
Questioning your Confidence
At the core, being indecisive or misaligned in your business manifests as questioning your confidence and worth.
When you're heads down, doing all the things, being all the things, misaligned and indecisive about how you show up....
... it's difficult to take a step back and see the big picture.
... it's difficult to reconnect with your soul, your gifts, your unique brilliance.
... it's difficult to have the energy to think strategically.
... it's difficult to get clear on how to move forward.
And all of that stirred up energy, hustle, grinding wreaks havoc on your confidence. It casts doubt on your ability and casts a shadow on the stories you tell yourself about your worth.
I talk to many business owners who say, "I need confidence in my plans to move forward."
And EVERY SINGLE ONE has an inner knowing about what their next steps really are - but that knowing and confidence is getting drowned out by noise.
What do you need to do differently to feel aligned in your life and business?
💥 Do you to create the physical time and space to step back and reflect?
💥 Do you need permission to listen to your inner knowing?
💥 Do you need validation and affirmation that your insights and instincts are valid?
💥 Do you need a sounding board (that's not, you know, your ACTUAL board for my non-profit friends) for your ideas?
I feel confident that the answers to your business next steps are inside you. And that you have what you need to move forward.
But I also know that it is incredibly scary to take the stand you're meant to take in your business.
And that's what we do in the Clarity Accelerator. You get unlocked, you get seen, and you get PERMISSION to listen to your inner knowing.
If you had full confidence in your business, what steps would you take differently?
