For the foreseeable future, change is going to be the norm. The way we value ourselves and our businesses and hold them as distinct from one another will determine how we withstand this ongoing change.
When we value ourselves through internal validation, we can pivot, adapt, flex, and innovate our way through challenges.
When we don’t, and we need the external validation offered through our clients’ compliments or how well business is going, we are destined to fail if business does.
Ultimately, how you value yourself will be reflected in the way money shows up or doesn’t.
Here’s the 3-2-1 on the value of self:
3 TRUTHS
- If our value of self is driven by external forces, we will always be left wanting and unsatisfied. We will never receive what we actually want/need from external forces, such as money.
- When we can internally find the value of self, then no matter what happens, we’re going to be okay. If we’re okay, we can continue to do the things in the world we want to do.
- Money will show up if and when we can call out our feelings about ourselves and identify the negative stories coming up. But if we continue to be driven by or chase after money, we are never going to get where we want to go because the satiation we are looking for is not actually external.
2 ACTIONS
- Audit your value of self. Make a T-chart and identify on one side the value you find in yourself internally and on the other, the value you receive externally.
- Imagine your business disappearing tomorrow. Reflect on what you would do, how you would respond. (Do you have enough value of self to keep going?)
1 QUESTION
