You’re not stuck, you’re actually moving as the contracted version of you.
Hear me out… (Or, read me out?)…
If the stuck version of you is the contracted version of you, then the free, active, ever-moving, ever-growing version of you is the expansive version of you.
The expansive version of you is what sets the contracted version of you free. It’s what brings you back to life. It’s your higher self.
Let’s take a moment to dive into the stuckness that you’re currently in for some context.
Number 1: You’re not stuck, you’re expecting to drift into success.
Entrepreneurship is a journey of self-discovery but it’s also a climb. Have you ever seen anyone drift to the top of a mountain? No, but you have seen entrepreneurs overcome their fears of visibility, of success, of making an impact, of being providers. The mountain requires a reach. Every step requires a reach, and sometimes, the first step is simply having a willing heart. Do you have the willingness to reach for the next step, because the Universe, Source, God – whatever you want to believe in – will meet you there. That’s how you build momentum – moment to moment – seizing each one and looking for the reach, which is sometimes quite a stretch, in order to get to where you want to be. This is the definition of growth. This is how you build success. This is how you become unstuck.
Number 2: You’re not stuck, you’re afraid of getting visible.
The more visibility you get, the more eyes you have on you. Does that scare you? If it does, you might have a fear around visibility. When you move past this fear, you start to gain access to deeper truths about your work that you can share. You no longer talk about the surface level points of your business – your modalities, your skillset, your credentials. You start focusing on the deeper truths about your work. You start speaking to something real and relatable and rooted within you, because it’s reflective of your essence. If you’re craving a wider impact, your audience is craving a deeper truth.
Number 3: You’re not stuck, you’re not believing in you.
Think about all of the times you diminished yourself when things all of a sudden got challenging – all of the times that you thought about giving up on yourself. Every moment that you pulled back on your divine purpose to instead put your focus elsewhere, was a moment where you consciously or unconsciously decided that you weren’t worth it. You weren’t worth the next step. You weren’t worth sticking it out. You weren’t worth another chance.
But on the flip side, every moment you decided that you were going to keep going was a moment where you remembered your worth. You remembered why you came here. You remembered your bigger purpose. You remembered that you have a higher calling that was bestowed on you by a higher power and that there is a version of you who knows how to see it through. There has to be. Because the only energy that can get in the way of you fulfilling your calling is the version of you who doesn’t believe in you.
One of the reasons I called my business Soul’d is because it’s about selling with soul. But here’s the thing, you can’t sell with soul unless you’re soul’d on you first. Nobody is going to believe in you more than you believe in yourself. Nobody is going to make you move more effectively and more purposefully than you will move yourself. Nobody is going to make this happen but you.
Number 4: You’re not stuck, the contracted version of you is still taking the lead.
The contracted version of me loves to stay stuck. The contracted version of me loves to get distracted. The contracted version of me would so much rather put someone else in the driver’s seat, because entrepreneurship can be intense and overwhelming and exhausting and scary. But it’s also the greatest thing I will ever be able to do for myself – to provide for my family, to be able to nourish my life with the impact that I am making that is rooted in something that is truly good for humanity and for other entrepreneurs as well.
We don’t even know it when we’re in it, but the contracted version of us is in a prison, and we actually have the keys out. We’ve had them all along. We say we’re scared of the unknown, of what lies ahead, of doing hard things, of making bigger decisions, of having responsibility. I can promise you – your essence is free. The expansive version of you is rooted in that and they move in accordance with what lights them up, with what truly aligns and what is truly reflective of their soul. It’s so much harder to be stuck where you are right now. The expansive version of you will set you free.
You get two things as a soulpreneur when you are working with the essence that is you. Through The Marketing Methods, you get a truth about your work and why it matters so much to you (aka your greatest and most authentic marketing message). And, through The Manifesting Methods, you get a version of you who can share this message with the world (aka your most expansive self – the version of you who is excited to show up, be seen and shine). Your essence is the portal to your most successful soulpreneur self.
