Support can change the game
When I moved into my new space I had been working quite hard on everything from web design, interior design, layout, services, potential products, team, software and more. I had envisioned this space to be a place for women to feel safe and support one another in a healing environment. In my manifestation process I knew I wanted this to be a place where I had a team that supported me and I them, that that support was the basis of how we treat everyone and their journey. With support. But I soon found that I was indeed doing everything entirely on my own. Sure of course I should be, it was my business after all so why was I feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. Because the very foundation of what I wanted to create turned into a job instead rather than it being a collective.
Opening up my wellness studio I had a vision, to build relationships on a deep level with my team, to support their healing journey and fill the place with warmth. When I gathered the team I currently have I was feeling the weight of the world to perform to supply them with clients rather than what I was hoping for. Starting this business wasn’t about the kind of corporate business style where you go spend money and leave, this business for me was a place to showcase our skills and talents, to push each other to grow and challenge each other to rise. This kind of business I wanted to be more about community rather than how can we make the most money ever. Why? Because at the end of the day people are what matter. Speaking from the experience of not having people in my life and feeling very alone at times I can tell you 100% that I would rather have family, friends and a community any day then millions and millions of dollars. (Although I would love both ;p) Because what is the point of money if you don’t have people to share with, if you don’t have a family to go home to?
It is people that makes this world worth living. Don’t believe me? I want you to go into solitary confinement then and after a few years let me know how much you would rather have money than friends. But in all seriousness creating my business Dare to Habit was about me finding my place in the world and building a business upon that place. This business would create community and give back to the community, it would have all the things that I have been craving. And the thing is the past 2 months, Yes I know I just started, but it didn’t feel this way at all. I felt like it was a corporate boss/employee relationship rather than 2 people building their businesses together in a warm environment. No I know a lot of people will knock this or hate this business model but this isn’t about you. This is about what I want to create, it’s about creating abundance in areas of my life I have been in lack of. So hate if you want but to me business is personal unless you would like another robotic, have a nice day services then by all means please do you. But I want to change lives, change the way the world perceives finances and wealth and help to shine light on deeper connections and a greater sense of community.
But I digress. The reason I bring this up is because one of my people quit today and the first feeling that arose was relief. It was no offense to her but I wanted someone who was going to be an active participant in this place not someone who just wanted me to supply everything. That is not the role I wanted when I created this place but to bring amazing individuals together in one spot to provide healing for many. The reason I felt such relief was because last week I had a conversation with another practitioner who not only supported this vision but made me feel supported for the first time of opening this place. She helped me to understand that the reason I had felt so overwhelmed and burnt out was because I was trying to take care of everyone else’s work while continuing my same work load. Our conversation last week lit a fire in me and when this other person quit it was exactly what I needed to truly understand that I was blocking myself and being blocked from truly manifesting the business I wanted.
So what does support look like for you? Does having support help you to take chances on yourself? Does it help you to rise and step into your greatness? What kind of support would you like in your life. If you aren’t receiving the type of support you would like then how can you change that? How can you find the right kind of support either through those you already have in your life or those you wish to have come into your life? I implore you to start questioning this area of your life so that you can start manifesting something that you really want.
