Today, let's talk about how it's time for you to have a grown-up business.
When I look at my clients, I see how brilliant they are. They have accomplishments and achievements that are absolutely unreal. But you know what they do? They downplay it all. They're humble to a fault.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: Humility is the worst strategy you can have to grow a business.
It's misguided. They mistake being humble for "not talking about their cool accomplishments." They feel like if they step one toe out of the humble box, people will think, "Who is this person?"
They worry people will try to poke holes in them, put a target on their back, or say, "You really aren't worth the hype because your life isn't perfect. You're not the right weight, height, or body type. You don't have it all figured out."
The Devastating Result
So what happens? They downplay their brilliance. They shrink. They hide their light.
And then you see people with half the talent and half the experience coming up through the ranks, getting everything you're not getting, making all the money you're not making.
It doesn't feel fair because it's not fair.
The "Broke Healer" Trap
One of the biggest barriers to having a grown-up business is staying stuck in this humble box. It keeps you trapped in the "broke healer" stereotype.
But as people-pleasers who don't want to come across as aggressive or "too much" (especially as women), how do you break out of this pattern?
The Solution: Supreme Confidence
You overcome it by gaining supreme confidence in what you do. And that comes from three key things:
- Really understanding your purpose - knowing why you're here
- Being crystal clear on the transformation you provide - what happens when people work with you
- Truly valuing what you do - understanding how your purpose translates into your business
When you have those pieces in place, something magical happens:
- The misguided notion of needing to be humble disappears
- The fear of being an impostor vanishes
- The worry about having a target on your back dissolves
Permission to Own Your Greatness
When you have supreme confidence in why you're here and how you do what you do, you can probably put on your website: "Yeah, I'm the number one expert in my country regarding this topic."
You can talk about all your accomplishments. You can mention the money you've made for other people and in your business. You can share all kinds of impressive things.
You can be the version of yourself that you're secretly hoping someone will recognize.
And that's what happens when you stop hiding and start owning your expertise.
Consider This Your Wake-Up Call
It's not too late to have the business you want. It's not too late to be the business owner you want to be. It's still very much possible - you haven't lost any time.
But you have to stop playing small.
