Dec 2 Sisterhood and Leadership

Allison Braun, Business, Business Success, Life, Personal Growth, Popular

As the 2016 Sexified Success Circle (SSC) wrapped up this week, I was reflecting on sisterhood and was brought to memories of this summer. I communed with red woods, made leather medicine pouches, sang and smoked ceremonial tobacco (fun fact - this was the first time I've ever smoked tobacco!), danced barefoot and topless, and ate delicious meals in a field with 600 other women at the Spirit Weavers Gathering. I thought of moments in SSC retreats: dancing, swimming with dolphins, in ceremony and talking business.

Whenever you absolutely need something it shows up but always just enough, never extra! It's like there's a financial glass ceiling you can't quite break through.

I never thought I’d want kids. My sister was always the one cooing at and holding babes every chance she got. Me? My response was to slowly back away (think Robin from How I Met Your Mother).

This year has been really consumed by thinking about and preparing for the possibility of getting pregnant and being a mama (it’s been a big shift for someone who never thought she’d have kids). My creative energy has primarily been filtering into that area of my life. Through this process I’ve felt a deeper connection to spirit and to my soul.

One of my biggest challenges in building my business (and from what I hear it may be one of yours too) has been staying focused and productive.

I built my business to not feel like work. This makes it oh-so-easy for my ego to pipe up and say things like “You can do it this afternoon/tomorrow/next week.” “After just 1… 2 more episodes of The Mindy Project.” And “Things are good enough… you don’t really need to do this.”

70% of start up businesses fail in the first year. Soon after, some of the other 30%, with hard working, passionate people like you behind the scenes, are still destined for overwhelm and ultimately a future you weren't really dreaming of.

It goes to show how so many of us leap unprepared into our visions of freedom and riches, stepping out with wide-eyed optimism and blind faith that the Universe will catch us.

But, apparently, more than 70% of the time, it doesn't.
