If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years it’s that “REAL ALWAYS WORKS” (some of my coaching clients are probably sick of hearing me say this lol).
In a way, I guess this goes without saying (which makes it extra interesting that we tend to overcomplicate things and forget this basic truth of life): where else can things work besides REALITY?
The bottom-line is simple: if you’re not getting the RESULTS you want then either you’re not being real with yourself or you’re trying to do something unreal.
In both cases it always comes back to the same thing: 1) raising AWARENESS of reality, 2) ACCEPTING what’s real, and then 3) pivoting into REAL (inspired) action.
These 3-steps will always take you where you need to go.
Normally, when I talk about REALNESS I tend to focus on the ‘personal’ side of things but what’s real is REAL in all areas and so that’s why I decided to create this guided series of exercises to help you bring more realness into your business (it’s based on my own ‘stuff’ and what I’ve seen work with my clients).
The 8-steps are simple and practical but if you need to re-energise and start getting more organically motivated by what you’re doing then they’ll get you there.
Here’s the abridged version:
1) ?????? ???? ?????? and make sure it’s something REAL (not just ego ‘stuff’).
2) ?????? ???? ?????? and make sure they’re actually yours (not something you picked up by osmosis or whatever).
3) ?????? ???? ??????? by knowing the real impact you’re aiming to have on the world and how you can make it more real.
4) ???? ??????? by making sure that as your business grows so do you.
5) ?? ????????? by sharing your REAL story and delivering the things you can actually deliver in true service.
6) ????? ?????????? by understanding that “you can’t pour from an empty cup” and by giving people what they NEED (not what you want them to want).
7) ??????? ?????? to make sure that you’re actually getting the results you want from your vision, values, and purpose (no results = no realness).
??????? ??? ??????? yourself every so often (reality constantly changes and so if you don’t keep up you’ll stagnate).
The full guide has more detail and exercises that you can take yourself through to get real clarity and direction when it comes to your own realness in your business.
