Feed Your Belief Dog!
Most wellness professionals have serious doubts about their ability to "make it" in their field - mostly about their lack of business skills. Here's how to get out of your own way and get back on track to success!
A belief parable:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Native American elder was asked how he handled his own inner struggles about his abilities and achieving his intentions for himself and his people.
He replied: "Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is unhappy, insecure and full of doubt. The other dog is joyful and confident. The doubtful dog fights the confident dog all the time."
When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied,
"The one I feed the most." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHICH DOG ARE YOU FEEDING?
When you set out to grow a wellness practice, many insecure feelings will be triggered. That is always the case when you set out to make a change in the world and to grow in your abilities.
You may have doubts about your technical skills and helping experience, about your ability to win people's confidence, or even about whether you can really handle a "grown up" career and life.
Most of all, those of us in the wellness fields have doubts about our ability to manage the business side of our careers, including, and especially, how to market and promote our work.
But first, the good news: very few wellness practitioners have doubts about their WORK. In other words, we believe very strongly in our healing or helping art and it's capacity to transform peoples' lives and health.
This is HUGE, both from a personal/spiritual standpoint and a basic marketing standpoint.
