Why Invest in a Business Energy Coach?
Being a business leader or entrepreneur is like being an athlete. The question is what game are you playing?
Are you going for the gold in the Olympics where the stakes are high and you want to give it all you have? Or are you simply looking for a vehicle for personal growth and to experiment, have fun and maybe make some money on the side like playing in a recreational sports league?
There’s no right answer and there is the right coach for the game you are playing. You just need to ask yourself what you’re really after.
Typically, energy coaches or spiritual coaches may be associated with Astrology, Reiki healings, Akashic Record readings, Human Design readings, learning astral travel, receiving initiations, or other various esoteric trainings.
However, a business energy coach is more concrete in focusing on accelerated growth towards personal fulfillment, global enlightenment, and living out your purpose in the biggest way possible through business. You know mindset is everything and want to better optimize your energy as a leader and in your personal habits.
While high performance or mindset coaching may or may not address your soul’s fulfillment, a business energy coach ensures you are holistically integrating the mind, body, heart, and spirit in your personal daily habits and as a leader to uplevel your results in life to reflect your fullest potential. The intention is to enjoy the journey that produces a tangible result–rather than get too destination or goal focused–while fulfilling on more aliveness and vitality.
A business energy coach ensures both your life and business are energetically aligned. You are trained how to master your energy at all levels of mind, body, heart, and soul and to dig deep to get to the root of your ego so you can shine, allowing your soul to lead producing unprecedented, non-linear results.
While you may still spend a session or two on high performance, learn a healing modality, or a relationship—those areas are under a bigger context of ultimate self-realization.
3 Indicators You are Ready
If you are searching for the most authentic expression of who you are, and are willing to do whatever it takes to express that even if it means making hard decisions—a business energy coach may be for you.
Here are three indicators that you are ready:
1. In Transition From one Business to Another
Often times, conscious business leaders come to me when they are in transition of selling, pivoting, or transitioning out of a CEO role from a current business they’ve had for years—that has burned them out, that they no longer have passion for, they realize they don’t enjoy the type of work or clientele they work with, or isn’t profitable and they are looking for a business to match who they’ve become working with people they love.
A Business energy coach will help you map out where you currently are energetically against your fullest potential, cut through to the root cause of that state, then determine what are your best next actions to take in the least amount of time that naturally follows your flow.
They understand a plan, while useful, often can’t foresee the unexpected so there’s a dance between creating milestones of success and allowing enough flexibility for the universe to play a part. With renewed commitment to a future that calls you, it’s easier to create certainty and become clear on your next step to take that will reveal future steps.
2. Want more Energy and Time Freedom
As a more mature business owner, they’ve become trapped in a business that isn’t giving back enough to them whether in free time, drains their energy in day to day tasks, or isn’t paying them nearly enough for the work they put in.
They started the business for more time freedom and instead got a time sucking monster they don’t know how to stop from stealing their time, money, and energy.
They are exhausted from endless discovery meetings or managing team members that don’t turn a profit as quickly as they’d like, they don’t get enough personal time to simply relax and work on the business, and they are now resenting the business which isn’t exactly helping sales.
A business energy coach helps you reclaim your energy identifying and plugging major energy leaks while adding new sources of fresh energy for you to feel fulfilled, happier, and at peace.
You will learn tools and practices that build habits for more time freedom and spaciousness in life that frees up creativity and pursuit of happiness. You will gain the courage to cut out what is no longer working and make decisions more aligned with who you’ve become and where you want to be.
3. Unsatisfied Despite Many Achievements
High achievers who still empty after reaching numerous pinnacles of success are desperately looking for that missing puzzle piece to feel whole and alive again. They struggle with feeling guilty for not being more happy since they have so much of what society says is good (a loving marriage, children, home, dream job, etc.) yet they’ve lost their “mojo” or sense of feeling grateful to be alive. Instead, they keep reliving past successes, trying to keep up with a younger version of themselves, while dealing with medical issues, aging parents, and mortality.
Conscious entrepreneurs in the middle stages of life wear too many hats raising their family unclear how to be a mom, wife, daughter, sports coach, homeschool teacher, or aging parent caretaker. They cannot keep up with all the roles and feel guilty they are neglecting other areas feeling mediocre in all areas of life.
This feels soul sucking and they know it but are helpless to know what else to do than just working harder, working longer, or trying new things that don’t stick.
A business energy coach helps them take a step back to the big picture to gain perspective. What are the most important areas of life to you? What does true wealth and success really look like? How does each area of life actually look like now and what would be ideal?
You will find out what area to focus on first that is the lynchpin for impacting all the other areas. You will take simple small actions that can have huge impact and results in your well-being, happiness, and peace of mind. You can move from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) to JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) and best of all, you can stop the suffering and enjoy the journey as your soul leads you.
Litmus test if You’re Ready
Now, if you’re reading this, I know you’re a high achiever who IS up to a bigger game that’s more aligned with your soul. You have a growth-oriented mindset and are interested in expanding on your current experiences to manifest a bigger vision that let’s your light shine brighter. Or perhaps you are someone who’s accomplished a lot and are now looking at how to uplevel your performance, generate your next self transformation, or embody a business that truly aligns with the global impact you’re out to make.
I see you.
Whatever stage of business you’re at, ask yourself these questions to whether you know you’re ready for a business energy coach:
Are you looking to grow? Do you have a goal in mind to achieve? If not, you just want to fix a problem or explore yourself with no end in mind, a therapist may make more sense if you just want space to process and get clear. But if you want to cause an outcome in your life—this is where coach’s excel.
Are you looking to work smarter not harder? You want to be as efficient as possible and follow a proven methodology versus reinvent the wheel.
Are you tired of the same old achievements and looking for something deeper and more fulfilling in your life? Going beyond global impact as a burned out do gooder is not longer sufficient and a grater goal like global enlightenment is often a key driver.
If you can answer yes to at least one of those questions, I’d recommend interviewing business energy coaches.
When hiring a business energy coach, here is a mental checklist you might use: Do you share a similar philosophy? Do you enjoy each other’s presence? Does the coach have credible success stories of their clients?
The most important question of all to ask yourself FIRST is, “Am I up to a bigger game?” In other words, what’s your mindset?
The answer to that question won’t be inside your head. Stop consulting with yourself—it can be a bad neighborhood of overused past based neuronal patterns designed to help you survive. Instead, interview some loved ones and discover how you’re showing up. Then choose.
As many entrepreneurs discover, business is not for the faint of heart. If you want to catalyze your dream lifestyle and the difference you want to make in the world, a coach simply helps you catalyze, accelerate or magnify your dream life and vision, helps you do what feels impossible if you did it on your own, and helps you utilize proven methodologies and systems, and ultimately, helps you achieve your dreams faster.
