BUSINESS OWNERS: Are You Being A Fearless Leader?

By

Are you “at effect” or “at cause” of your emotion? Be that stress, anxiety, frustration, anger, or something else?

And what exactly do I mean by that? And how does that affect your leadership skills?

I heard my business coach – Ryan Rieder – describe it this way:-

Imagine a tennis player, serving.

Being “at effect” of your emotion means that the emotion (let’s say anxiety) is controlling you. So, imagine that you are the tennis ball and your anxiety is the tennis racket. You are being directed (smacked on the arse) by the anxiety, passively, with no control.

When you are “at cause” of an emotion, instead of being the ball – you become the tennis player.

Suddenly, an image of control comes up. Directing the emotion where you can effectively use it.

Or hit it away.

Most people think that this is easier said than done. But is it really?

Let’s park that for a moment.

As a Business Owner, sometimes you have to have an uncomfortable conversation. Something that Ryan has taught me is that your success is in direct proportion to the uncomfortable conversations that you are prepared to have.

Which plays directly into one of the biggest fears people have…conflict.

Business owners can be afraid to say what needs to be said, or confront an issue – because “people might leave if I…[fill in the blank]”

But if you chose the alternative (which is turning a blind eye)…

…you are choosing to knowingly lose money!

And look, we’ve all done it. I’ve been as guilty as the next person for this. And let’s face it, this is probably happening in your business right now. With staff, with clients. Or both.

The reality is that, if someone does leave, no matter how “critical” you may have felt they were, you always look back and think…

“Phew. Why on earth didn’t I do that earlier?!”

It’s the build up to all this that can be so very uncomfortable. The anger or frustration you can feel about someone not doing their job properly. The anxiety that can come up when you think about having a conversation with them about this. That physical reaction you can have.

That there my friend is you being the ball.

Remember how I said you could be the tennis player and hit that away or use it?

Most “normal” people don’t like bringing something up that may cause conflict. It can feel scary and threatening. And your body reacts accordingly by throwing you into a stress response.

When you are in a stress response you lose your ability to engage the sensible part of your brain. You operate entirely from your emotion based hind or reptilian brain.

You have been hijacked.

This means you are unable to be calm, rational, quick thinking, logical. Whilst at the same time being super effective at not being able to articulate clearly, getting defensive and reactive, making the whole thing generally much worse.

(This also carries over into your personal relationships. When you say that thing you don’t mean and have no idea why you said it and now you’re in the dog house. If you’re lucky.)

What if you could reclaim your sensible brain by turning off your stress response? And do it quickly?

Stressed?!

By

Try This…

Stress is a massive issue for many people at the moment.

It was a massive issue BEFORE Covid, but lockdowns have had the effect of giving it a shot of steroids.

Now, some stress (in short bursts) is actually very good for you. But long, drawn out, chronic stress that you end up wading around in – like stress soup – is very bad.

Bad for your mental and for your physical health.

It will negatively impact your immune system, prevent proper digestion, lay down belly fat, increase blood pressure, affect sleep (when your healing happens) and so much more.

And when you’re stuck in chronic stress it’s so hard to get out of. Why?

Because stress is your body going into the fight/flight response. Blood is routed away from your brain and into your limbs – so you can fight or flee.

The result of blood leaving the brain?

Difficulty thinking. Difficulty problem solving. Brain fog.

And because you can’t think of solutions to what is causing the stress…you get more stressed.

Because you can’t see or find a way out of the stress…you get more stressed.

Vicious. Circle.

It’s the same theory for when you don’t have the thing or life you want.

There’s something you want, or there’s a way you want to live your life – but you can’t seem to get it. This is frustrating to say the least. It can also destroy your confidence and leave you living a life that is well below par.

Here’s the thing. Humans are creatures of habit. You keep doing what you’ve always done…and so you get what you’ve always gotten.

If you want a different result you have to change something. You have to do something differently.

Simple right?

Actually no.

A change of habit feels uncomfortable, often scary and your brain doesn’t like it. It sends it into the stress response – because it can’t tell the difference between real and perceived danger.

Your brain’s job is to keep you alive and safe – so it will actively work against you when you try to make those changes that take you out of your “comfort zone”.

This often presents itself as your Inner Voice; the chatter that goes on behind your eyeballs, giving you all sorts of reasons why you shouldn’t attempt this change. Maybe paralysing you from moving forward. Maybe just subtly distracting you so you don’t even realise you’ve been knocked off course.

Now this isn’t because your brain is bad. It really does believe it’s working for your best interests – it’s trying to protect you. Unfortunately, this mis-guided self love can really get in your way and hold you back.

It can also keep you in that stress state.

If only there was a fast and effective technique for reducing stress! For allowing your intelligent, problem solving brain to come back online! For finding and releasing limiting beliefs that keep you in the stress vicious circle!

Well, I’m really pleased to tell you that – THERE IS! Woohoo!

You may not have heard about it because it’s only recently started hitting the mainstream. If you have heard about it you may have discounted it cos it looks, quite frankly, utterly woo woo.

So, what is it?

I’d like to introduce you to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called Tapping.

See, it’s even got a silly name.

But don’t be fooled by its appearance. It’s EXTREMELY effective at reducing stress. Fast.

There are several studies that support this too.

The latest one, by Peta Stapleton, PH. D., involved 3 groups of people who had their cortisol levels (a stress hormone) measured via their saliva before receiving 3 different interventions.

The first group spent an hour reading magazines.

The second group were given an hour of psychoeducation (info on stress).

The third group received an hour of EFT.

After the hour, the first group experienced an INCREASE in cortisol of 2%.

The second group experienced a reduction of 19% (this is around the usual rate of decline when the cause of the stress is removed).

But the third group, the group who had done an hour of EFT, experienced a WHOPPING 43% decrease of cortisol.

43% – after just 1 hour!

Imagine the positive impact that would have on your mental and physical health. The impact it would have on your life!

80-90% of the choices we make are based on emotions. Would you rather be making potentially dubious choices from a state of stress…or potentially better choices from a place of empowerment?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of ONE good decision I’ve made from a place of stress!

EFT gives you the freedom and ability to change your emotional state.

Emotional freedom gives you the power to make better choices.

That’s huge. That’s massively empowering. Yet so many people aren’t aware of it. Or if they are aware of it, aren’t doing it.

Yes…it looks a bit woo woo.

Yes…you’ll feel a bit silly to start with.

Maybe your Inner Voice will tell you that you don’t need it; that your life is already moving along how you want it to. That you’re not being slowed down or held back by internal resistance and so this really isn’t for you.

You may choose to believe that. However, nothing is so good that it can’t get better and the potential benefits of EFT make it well worth giving this odd looking process a try.

What have you got to lose?! Other than stress of course!

What’s This EFT Thing?!

By

And what can you use it for?

EFT is probably best known for its effectiveness at reducing stress and anxiety quickly, but it can be used for so much more!

Weight Loss

Yep, that’s right! Research has shown that EFT is incredible at eliminating food cravings. Check out my You Tube video for Chocolate Cravings.

We tend to view weight as a problem, but I’d like to invite you to think about it more as a symptom. What was happening in your life when the weight started to go on? If your weight were a metaphor, what would it be? What do you say you’ll do (or be) when you lose weight that may be scaring you? What beliefs do you have a weight and weight loss?

Get your FREE Guide here!

 

Abundance

No way! Yes way! We attach a LOT of emotion to money and harbour all kinds of beliefs about it. That’s fine when the beliefs are empowering, but what if they’re limiting?

If you say you want more money, but you don’t have it, it’s a really good indicator that your sub conscious has spotted a downside to it. I’d like you to consider this statement: The extent to which you don’t have the thing you want is the extent to which you are resisting it.

Get your FREE Guide to the 5 Biggest Blocks To Abundance (and how to get rid of them!) here.

 

Getting Stuff Done

I’m talking about ditching procrastination!

Procrastination is actually your sub conscious’s way to keep you save. The thing you want to do, the goal you want to achieve, if you’re procrastinating about it ask yourself this question: What’s the downside of doing/achieving this?

Sounds bonkers I know, but trust me. Your sub conscious has clocked a downside (probably completely illogical!) and is cleverly, cunningly and sometimes subtly veering you off course.

Discover my easy 5 step formula for eliminating procrastination FOR GOOD here.

 

Essentially, if you’re not feeling great, if you’re in pain, if you don’t have what you want…try EFT!

And if you feel Awesome – pump it up with EFT!

You can literally try it on anything!

Does EFT Really Work?!

By

Or is it a bit of a scam?!

And I think that’s a fair question. After all, the first time I met EFT the first thoughts through my head were: “What A Load Of Bollocks!”

To be fair, EFT doesn’t really help itself. I mean, it looks fucking weird, and you feel really silly doing it. And what even ARE acupressure points? And how can tapping them do anything?!

Acupressure points are areas on the body that have a high electrical conductivity. Think of them like little garden gates that open onto an energy pathway. This energy pathway is called a meridien.

When you stimulate them (in this case, by tapping them with your fingers), you’re sending an electrical message (an email if you will) to your stress response centre in your brain. Essentially telling it to chillax.

Why is that useful?

Well, when was the last time you made a really good decision whilst you were upset?

When you’re in a stress response and your emotions are high…your intelligence drops through the floor. So, by tapping when you feel stressed (or any other negative emotion) you calm that down and allow your intelligence to come back on line. Not only do you feel better, you stop being stupid.

But here’s where it gets really groovy.

When you go into a stress response it’s because you’ve been triggered by something. The trigger is something that you’ve experienced in the past, or a variant of it that close enough to alarm your subconscious.

For example:

When you were 5 you got bitten by a large, black dog. A traumatic experience that has been squirreled away in your memories and marked as IMPORTANT. Your brain is now on high alert for anything that resembles this memory, in order to keep you safe.

When you see large black dogs from now on, you instantly go into a stress response. But not just large black dogs…small white dogs, medium sized brown dogs. Anything that looks vaguely similar is enough to set you off.

That doesn’t really seem like a massive problem. Until one day you get into trouble whilst swimming in a lake, and you start drowning (God, you’re really unlucky!). As you struggle to keep your head above water, a large, friendly St Bernard comes swimming up to, not only save you, but also provide you with a shot of brandy.

This dog is about to save your life. But your brain throws up that original memory and you panic. You try to get away from your furry life saver. And as a result you drown horribly.

Bummer.

Now, that’s a bit of an extreme example cos I love a bit of drama. But the same theory can be applied to any part of your life.

Maybe you get very stressed when someone tells you what to do? And maybe that’s impacting your ability to hold down a job? If you trace that back, it might lead to a memory where you were bullied at school and told to do stuff you didn’t want to do. So now, anytime you are told what to do (and it doesn’t matter how nicely it’s said or how much it will benefit you), you react badly.

Not only can EFT help you to feel better NOW…you can use it to find the original memory (the root cause) and remove the emotional attachment to it.

Meaning, that you remove the trigger. Remove the trigger and, what would have once sent you off into a stress response, now WON’T.

Emotional Freedom.

*Mic drop*

But how can it even do that?!

Recall a time you really embarassed yourself. Let’s say, public speaking.

As you recall that time in your mind, notice what your emotions are doing. They’re probably going UP.

Tapping whilst holding that memory in your mind calms down the stress response and takes the emotion out of the memory. Without the emotion, you no longer get triggered into a stress response. You can recall that memory with NO EMOTION.

That memory may have been preventing you from doing work presentations that could lead to more money, or a big sale. Now it’s no longer triggering you, you’re going to lose the anxiety and stress around that.

And I’m not just making this shit up. All this has been scientifically researched.

You can learn more from one of the top researchers (Dr Peta Stapleton) here.

(You can also check out my chat with Peta HERE.)

So…does EFT really work?

Well, I can only go from my own experience – and the experience of my clients. Which is YES. EFT does work.

What does it work with? What problem do you need to have?!

I’m going to refer you back to a phrase uttered by my good friend, Brad Yates:

The extent to which you don’t have the thing you want in your life is the extent to which you are resisting it.

Ask yourself the question…WHAT DO I WANT?

When you have your answer, look at your life. Is that thing in it to the extent you want it?

Maybe money, health, love, clients, confidence…whatever.

If it’s not, then you’re subconsciously resisting it in the form of a limiting belief (or beliefs).

THAT’S where EFT comes in. Remove the limiting belief, replace it with a more empowering belief…and what do you think happens?

But don’t take MY word for it…try it for yourself! Check out my You Tube Channel for Tap Along videos.

Can’t Network Won’t Network?

By

Is A Fear Of Public Speaking Preventing Your Business From Growing?

Due to Covid-19 I have just attended my very first ONLINE Networking meeting.

I do a lot of Networking and am always inviting people I know, who have their own business, to come along. The reason being that Networking is a fantastic way to connect with and support other Business Owners and Entrepreneurs.

But here’s what I’m finding. Most people are up for it…until I mention that you have to stand up for 40 or so seconds and present who you are and what you do.

Cue the “ums” and “ahs”. Suddenly it’s not at a convenient time, or they’re washing their hair that day. All because they would have to Stand Up And Talk About Who They Are And What They Do.

The HORROR!

This is a very real fear for so many people. But why?

You know who you are and (hopefully) you know what you do. You know how you can help other people. So why does your stomach drop out of your arse when you think about standing up and speaking in public about it? Why do your hands get sweaty and your chest tighten?

The likelihood is that, somewhere in your mind, there is a memory of a time you had to speak in public…and it didn’t go so well.

Maybe at school you had to walk to the front of the class and talk about something. Maybe the other kids laughed at you for getting something wrong. Maybe the Teacher made a disparaging remark. Whatever it was, you now have a recording of this little movie inside your head.

And when this happened, you would have had a physiological and emotional response. Maybe your hands got sweaty. Maybe  you started trembling. Maybe you felt like your were going to be sick. You very probably felt emotions along the lines of Shame, Embarrassment, Humiliation.

And that younger You would have formed a Belief right then, in that moment. And that Belief might be “It’s not safe to stand up in public and talk”.

So you do everything in your power to avoid it. If you absolutely HAVE to do it, you get so nervous that this Belief is just reinforced.

Whatever it was, whatever happened (and you may not really remember, but it’s there – deep in your subconscious) it’s now limiting you, because guess what! To grow your business you have to get out there and tell people about it! And about you, cos people buy from people.

It’s something I realised I’d have to put my Big Girl Pants on pretty quickly about. And to do that I got help. In fact I spent a lot of money on getting help, because I could see that it was an Investment in Me.

So how can EFT help?

Well you can use EFT like a pincer movement.

(a) You can use it to quickly calm feelings of anxiety and stress so you are in a better and calmer place from which to act.

(b) You can use it to find the Event from your past that has caused this limiting Belief…and release it.

So if you are one of the MANY MANY people who fear public speaking so much that they would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy…I invite you to have a think about what that’s stopping you from achieving.

And if you COULD stand up and speak in front of other people, how do you think that would affect your Personal and Business GROWTH?

What would it look like?

What would it feel like?

How would your life change?

Where Do You Want To Succeed?

By

And What Will It Take To Get There?

There’s something you want – but you can’t seem to get it. This is frustrating to say the least. It can also destroy your confidence and leave you living a life that is well below par.

Here’s the thing. Humans are creatures of habit. We keep doing what we’ve always done…and so we get what we’ve always gotten. If you want a different result you have to change something. You have to do something differently.

Simple right?

Actually no.

A change of habit feels uncomfortable, often scary and your brain doesn’t like this. Part of your brain’s main purpose is to keep you safe – so it will actively work against you when you try to make those changes that take you out of your “comfort zone”.

This often presents itself as your Inner Voice; the chatter that goes on behind your eyeballs, giving you all sorts of reasons why you shouldn’t attempt this change. Maybe paralysing you from moving forward. Maybe just subtly distracting you so you don’t even realise you’ve been knocked off course.

Now this isn’t because your brain is bad. It really does believe it’s working for your best interests – it’s trying to protect you. Unfortunately this mis-guided self love can really get in your way and hold you back. It’s based on old programming and probably a lot of misunderstandings in the form of limiting beliefs.

This is where EFT comes in. EFT is very effective at reducing stress. A study by Dawson Church on the effect of EFT on levels of cortisol (one of the stress hormones) in your blood stream showed an average of a 24% decrease after just one hour of tapping. The normal rate of decline is only 14%. So rather than letting the fear of change stop you, you can tap to reduce the stress and discomfort around it. This gives you the freedom to examine what it is that you might be afraid of…and come to the realisation that you can actually handle positive changes.

EFT gives you the freedom and ability to change your emotional state.

80-90% of the choices we make are based on emotions. Emotional freedom gives you the power to make better choices.

That’s huge.

That’s massively empowering.

Yet so many people aren’t aware of it. Or if they are aware of it, aren’t doing it.

Yes…it looks a bit woo woo. Yes…you’ll feel a bit silly to start with. Maybe your Inner Voice will tell you you don’t need it; that your life is already moving along how you want it to. That you’re not being slowed down or held back by internal resistance and so this really isn’t for you.

You may choose to believe that. However, nothing is so good that it can’t get better and the potential benefits of EFT make it well worth giving this odd looking process a try. What have you got to lose?!

What’s Stopping Weight Loss?

By

The Biggest Mistake That Stops You Dropping Those Pounds

EFT – Weight Loss

I don’t know about you, but I have yet to meet someone who didn’t wish they could shed a few pounds (or more!) of weight – preferably without the pain of diet and exercise!

Your beliefs about yourself and what you can (or can’t) accomplish because of your size are usually negative:-

“I’m too fat to find love.”

“When I’m thin I’ll finally be happy.”

“I can’t reach for my dream of ____ until I lose some weight and get fit.”

And so on and on and on.

You have been taught to tackle weight loss in a certain way. You diet and exercise FIRST and once weight loss has been achieved THEN the beliefs about yourself and what you can achieve change for the positive.

Right?

Unfortunately, this is the biggest mistake that people don’t know they’re making. They focus on diet and exercise first – when they would be much better served tackling WHY they are overeating. The negative emotions and beliefs behind it all – and changing those BEFORE thinking about diet and exercise.

Now, I’m not saying don’t eat healthily and I’m not saying don’t bother exercising. These are both important. What I’m saying is that weight is not a PROBLEM – it’s a SYMPTOM. It’s your body/brain telling you it’s not comfortable about something and needs attention.

You’re not stupid. You know what food is healthy, nutritious and good for you…and you know what food isn’t. So why do you reach for the “comfort” food?

(Hint: the clue is in the title!)

Right…you need comforting. You need something that will make you feel better than you do right now. In today’s fast paced and stress filled world that’s hardly surprising. So you find yourself reaching for those sugary carbohydrates because they work some voodoo in your brain that then makes you feel calm, happy and satisfied.

(Actually they increase your brain’s concentration of an amino acid called Tryptophan, the building block of Serotonin. Serotonin is a transmitter which, when released, brings about those feel good feelings.)

You overeat because your brain is looking for pleasure!

Overeating in the moment serves a great purpose, it makes you feel good…until the side effects kick in. You put weight on and to counteract this you put yourself on a diet.

So on top of all your everyday stress, you unwittingly add in the STRESS of watching what you eat, the STRESS of using will power and the STRESS of fighting your food cravings.

It’s exhausting!

Then – success! You lose a few pounds. You relax, the will power goes and the weight comes back on, often more than before.

No matter how much you diet, no matter how much you make yourself exercise – if you are dealing with stress and other negative emotions YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO LOSE WEIGHT. Stress will literally create a hormone (cortisol) that makes you fat.

Read that again.

Stress creates a hormone which causes your body to store fat.

Feeling stressed y that?! Ready to give up in despair?! Don’t worry, there is hope!

EFT is amazingly effective at reducing stress and can be used to clear negative and limiting beliefs and emotions.

A study has been done by Dawson Church on the effect of tapping on levels of cortisol in our blood stream. It showed an average of a 24% decrease in cortisol after just one hour of tapping. And that is just the average. Some individual participants experienced as much as a 50% decrease.

The normal rate of decline is only 14%, so that’s a massive difference!

Stress is accumulative. Imagine being able to not only quickly reduce the level of stress you’re feeling but also teach your brain not to react in the first place. That has a huge effect on both allowing you to feel better and being able to lose weight and keep it off.

So don’t put yourself under the stress of dieting. By using EFT you can change your beliefs and behaviours so that you naturally turn towards the healthier option.

The Top 5 Tapping Mistakes

By

How to Avoid the Pitfalls.

EFT - Top 5 Mistakes

EFT is one of the simplest and most powerful self help tools out there – but simple doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to master.

So what are the top five mistakes and pitfalls that people fall into?

#1 – Not Using It!

‘Well duh’ I hear you say!

Yet how often have you felt stressed or overwhelmed and didn’t tap? And I’m including myself here! There have been days when I’ve looked back on a bad situation and thought “Why the hell didn’t I tap on that?!”

And I do it for a living!

The thing is EFT is quite new. I’ve used and studied it for the past 5 years – but before that I had no idea it even existed. Without revealing too much about my age, that’s a LOT of years of non-tapping conditioning.

It’s just not something that we’ve had as part of our daily routine. It’s not included in the list of things we do on a day to day basis.

There can be deeper reasons why EFT isn’t used – such as self sabotage, pyschological reversals or resistance to change – but more often than not it’s just simply forgotten.

If you find that this is the case just kindly remind yourself to use it. Maybe leave a post it up somewhere you will see it, as a gentle reminder that EFT needs to become part of your daily routine.

#2 – Being Too Vague

Specifics are key, but to start with it can pay to start with a global statement and by global I mean broad.

For example: “Even though I’m feeling upset right now, I love and accept myself.”

There are no specifics in this, it’s just a general ‘I’m upset’ statement.

This can get you going, but after a round or two of tapping on that it is very important that you start to hone in on the specifics.

Why are you upset right now? Maybe it’s because someone was horrible to you? In which case you would change the set up statement to “Even though I’m feeling upset right now because my partner was horrible to me, I love and accept myself”.

The more specific you can be the better EFT will work.

#3 – Missing Out Parts Of The Issue

We call these ‘aspects’ and a problem state could have many different ones.

Sticking with the “Even though I’m feeling upset right now…”, which then moved into the more specific “because my partner was horrible to me…” issue, some potential aspects of this might be:-

“I’m upset because he/she snapped at me”

[An Audible aspect]

“He/She gave me a really horrible look”

[A Visual aspect]

“My stomach twisted up”

[A physical sensation]

“I’m scared he/she will dump me”

[A fear of a possible future event]

“It reminded me of when my last boyfriend/girlfriend dumped me”

[A past trauma]

“This always happens to me”

[A limiting belief]

You get the idea.

Sure, you can stick with more generalised tapping statements – but these are unlikely to solve the problem and you’ll keep repeating the pattern.

It’s like peeling layers off an onion (not least because it may cause a few tears). By unearthing all the different parts or aspects and then clearing them is incredibly powerful and can last a lifetime.

#4 – Monitoring Your Progress

This can be a biggie – particularly if you’re working alone.

You don’t know if something is working unless you track your progress.

So before you start, think about the intensity of the feeling and give it a number between 1 and 10 – where 1 is “meh” and 10 is “argh!”

I highly recommend you write it down – along with the feeling.

For example:

“I’m upset because my partner was horrible to me” – 9

Then you tap.

The upset reduces but perhaps a new emotion came up. You write that down.

“I’m angry that they treated me that way” – 7

You tap.

The anger changes to guilt.

“I feel guilty that I did something that made them so upset” – 6

You tap.

Then you check back on the original feeling of upset. You barely feel it now, it’s moved to a 1.

The anger has dropped a little to a 5 – there’s something more there that needs tapping on.

Perhaps as you tap some old, traumatic memories pop into your head. Make a note of them. Address each one separately.

You get the idea.

It might appear overwhelming and confusing at first but when you get into the swing of it it’s easy. Recording it all on paper makes it easier still and allows you to monitor your progress and stay on track.

Another good thing about this is that all this takes time. By keeping a record you can put it down and pick it back up again at will.

Which leads me onto the final mistake…

#5 – Not Allowing Enough Time

We live in an age where we expect instant gratification.

Yes, sometimes EFT can work extremely quickly, but more often than not it takes a bit more sustained tapping to work through an issue properly.

You really want at least 10 to 15 minutes of tapping – without getting distracted or allowing yourself to give up too quickly.

That last point can be quite tricky when you’re tapping on yourself as sometimes our sub conscious intervenes when it thinks we’re going to get too upset. It will throw up excuses why you should stop tapping before the time is up – or maybe make you go blank. Acknowledge it and keep going until the time has finished. Maybe set yourself an alarm.

This is why working with someone else can be so beneficial, because they will keep asking questions when you may have given up.

Another way you can get round this is to follow one of my tapping videos – then you can simply tap along!
