Trusting the universe

I get to work with some of the most wonderful entrepreneurs in the world.Businesses doing 100k+ a year to those doing $500 million, with the odd billionaire thrown in. Working hard, increasing your skill set, using the right strategy and system - these are all table stakes. The real unlock comes from something much deeper. I’ve seen this over and over again: Unless the next level of your business feels safe to your nervous system, you’ll find a way to sabotage it. When an entrepreneur comes to me because they are hitting a revenue ceiling, this is often at play. Why does this happen? The next level of your business will require you to hold more. More money.More moving parts. More risk. More visibility. More expenses. Once you reach your nervous system’s capacity for how much it can hold, you unconsciously start doing things to avoid growth. More success literally feels dangerous and unsafe to your body. You can try to brute force with your mind, but you already know how that works out. This is why psychology, nervous system optimization and spirituality are woven into the work I do with entrepreneurs in The Accelerator. One of the most effective ways to increase your system’s capacity to hold more…(more responsibility AND goodness)…is to allow yourself to be held by something greater than you. (and I’m not talking about getting a coach, though that can also be helpful)As an entrepreneur, you do a lot of holding…You hold your team, clients, audience, family…the list goes on.But who is holding YOU? If you don’t have a connection with god, the universe, source - whatever you want to call the infinite intelligence that makes trees grow and your heart beat…Then your capacity to grow your business, make more impact and receive more goodness will always be limited. When we feel held, we can hold a lot more.We actually feel safe, and we unlock more capacity for growth.  This came up yesterday on the Accelerator call and I clipped a 3 min clip for you:On my business building journey, leaning into this has given me the ultimate advantage. It’s allowed me to navigate challenging times, and really appreciate the positive in profound ways. I hope this recconnects your humanity to your divinity.
