36. Do You Have to Do Things You Hate to Grow Your Business?

from Practical Magic

In this episode, I unpack a belief many entrepreneurs carry — that success requires forcing yourself to do things that feel miserable — and how to tell the difference between a real growth edge and something that simply isn’t aligned.When things feel hard or unclear in your business, it’s easy to assume the problem is that you’re not doing enough. But in my experience working with business owners, the opposite is often true.In this episode, I break down two patterns I see constantly when people feel stuck in business: doing too much, and doing too little because you’re overthinking everything.Both patterns usually come from the same root issue: not being able to tell the difference between a growth edge and true misalignment.We also talk about why confusion can actually feel safer than clarity, how Human Design can help you develop better discernment in business, and why subconscious beliefs often keep us stuck even after we gain awareness.In This EpisodeThe two most common patterns I see when people feel stuck in businessWhy doing more isn’t always the answerHow overthinking keeps you from collecting real dataThe difference between pushing a growth edge vs forcing something that isn’t alignedHow Human Design helps you identify what’s actually working for youWhy subconscious beliefs often pull us back into confusionThe role nervous system safety plays in manifestation and business growthResources Mentioned:If you’d like a refresher on Human Design signature and not-self themes, I reference them in episode 2.
