Scaling a business is like embarking on a wild and exhilarating adventure. It’s a journey that requires audacity, boldness, and a touch of whimsy. But here’s the secret ingredient that many women work very hard to subconsciously avoid or overlook – surrender.
When you’re first starting out in your business you need to have a firm grip over everything and be in total control. But as your business begins to really sprout legs and take off, it becomes increasingly important that you release more and more control and surrender both logistically and spiritually.
When you spiritually surrender to a higher power, any higher power at all, it removes the pressure and allows you to release your “need” to have control over everything because you will begin believing that everything will work out for you. The more small consistent actions you take in alignment with that mindset, the more you and your company will flourish.
Unleash Creative Chaos
Embracing your higher power will truly allow you to surrender your false sense of control and from there, you can really begin embracing some creative chaos in your business to spark even more unexpected growth. Break free from rigid structures and unleash your imagination by implementing rituals for structure rather than rigid routines. Embrace the audacious ideas, unconventional approaches, and whimsical concepts that defy the norm. Surrender to the creative chaos, and I promise you will be overwhelmed with gratitude as you watch your business thrive like never before.
Embrace Eccentricity
Don’t be afraid to be eccentric!
I always like to say that I am nothing if not distinctive and what is more distinctive than being eccentric?
It might sound counter-intuiting when we are talking about scaling a serious business, but seriously, embracing a dash of the difference is what’s going to help you stand out and shred your marketing overhead.
When you surrender to the realization that what makes you different is often what makes you profitable, you can step out of your insecurities and cultivate a community around meaningful mutual connections.
Cha-mutha-fucking-ching!
