What on earth does intuition have to do with your business?


Intuition is your inner voice that tells you to follow a different way, not the way you are being told, but by how you are listening to others voices instead of your own inner wisdom. Some of the most incredible businesses have been built purely from intuition.

This inner knowledge is the thing that is going to generate the income to keep your business sustainable and the cashflow in force.


Many people seem to misunderstand that by following everyone else’s voice, you are setting yourself up to fail and maybe procrastinating because external influences are misleading you. Which ultimately leads to self-sabotage because you are NOT listening to the truth within.


Here are the 5 signs to watch out for:


1. You listen to everyone else, your coach, your peers, your partner, your parents, but avoid listening to the crazy voice inside of you.


2. You ignore the crazy idea to follow your path and instead sign up for different courses, programs, and support levels that are completely out of alignment and not in line with you listening to your own voice.


3. You feel drained, exhausted, and lack motivation, doing what you are being told you should do, you don’t feel excited about the next steps.


4. Business is not working; clients/customers are not coming through the door; there are consistent business problems, which is just causing you stress.


5. You're struggling to gain clarity, and you cannot relax no matter what you do. You feel irritated, feel stressed, and feel like you are spinning so many plates, your sleep is disrupted.


Do you resonate with any of the above?


Did you say yes? You are not alone! One of the most empowering breakthroughs you can have is choosing to change the way you connect with your inner voice.


It is one of the things I teach my clients in our coaching sessions, to explore what is sitting right within, what is the heart really saying to you? What is that inner wisdom trying to get you to listen to? If you could trust your inner wisdom, how far would you then take your business/success?


Are you ready for the next steps?


To help you find your own voice and let your intuition guide you, here are some things you can do to change this.


1. Sit in silence – just a few moments, focus on your breath, clear the noise.


2. Let your creativity flow – map it out, follow the crazy path you want to create, see if It’s possible (chances are it is more than possible)


3. Journal – incorporate this into your daily activities


4. Clear out your mind, energy, and space – declutter, exercise, meditate whichever suits you best


5. Get Support – Find someone who will teach you how to connect to your inner guidance, trust your own instincts and follow your heart's desires.


In addition to the above, I’ve just launched a trial offer for a 30 minute Oracle Card Mini Breakthrough Healing Session, which is aimed at helping you gain clarity, receive guidance, implement an energy clearing breakthrough – click here to book.
