Recently, I was speaking to a prospective client and I asked her if she was ready to run her business like a business. Most of the time when I ask someone that question, they know what I mean and they are ready to say yes. This particular client asked me what that meant. In that moment, I realized I use the phrase a lot and no one has ever asked me what it means. So in this episode I share what it means to run your business like a business. If you are ready to experience the benefits of running your business like a business instead of an expensive hobby or an all consuming job, listen up. By the way, that client said yes and we are now working together to help her create a profitable business that supports the lifestyle she wants. Follow Deborah Stellingwerff:Website - https://www.stellarlifeproject.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deborahstellingwerff/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/stellarlifeproject/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-stellingwerff-65219359/Email - deb@deborahstellingwerff.com

Have you ever wanted to do something big or important but you just didn't feel ready?Some of the best ideas never make it out of the idea stage because the process of collapsing infinite possibilities into material reality is simply too tough for many people. Faced with an unknown amount of work and problem solving, we tell ourselves that we aren't ready to take the next step. And so we wait to “feel” ready. And more often than not the feeling never comes.In this episode, we'll explore the paradox of readiness (spoiler alert: being ready and feeling ready are different things!)I'll also share some questions you can reflect on and resources you can use to create readiness.Questions for Reflection:Ask yourself: what have I've been longing to create?What it would take to start this projectWhat's one small step I could take toward making that idea a reality today?Advancing Confidently Tapping Video:10x Your Confidence with this EFT Tapping sessionReady for some support?

When I speak at events for entrepreneurs, or when clients come to me for 1:1 coaching, a common question is “How do I stop procrastinating?” The short answer to the question, How do I stop procrastinating?” is to do the thing you are procrastinating about!

Are you seeking clarity or certainty?So often when people come to me for coaching they say they want “clarity”. In many cases, what they are really saying is they want to know exactly what the future holds. What should they do? What will happen if they take this step or that step. Which step should they take (to make sure that everything works out perfectly without any discomfort or failure.)In this episode, we explore how I discovered the key to certainty is self-trust. And how you can tap in to your own super power to create safety in times of uncertainty.PS. One of my favourite tools for building self trust is to take a meditation journey to meet my future self.

I sit down with brilliant copy writer and wordsmith, Ed Raey in this episode. We talk about finding your zone of genius and then doing the long hours and hard work required to achieve true mastery. We explore the pressures many entrepreneurs face from family and friends about getting a “real job” and the many distractions and seductions that can distract us from our own path when we are made vulnerable by our own doubts. We also get into the importance of experimental play and skill building in order to build a successful business; how to choose your mentor; how to pivot when you are no longer inspired by who you are working with and what you are doing. And the importance of always being open to growing and sometimes feeling like an idiot, while also practicing enjoying the process and being content with where we are at.

Our first interview of 2022 will inspire you to think of the statement “New Year, New You” in a new way! In this episode, Shelby Eloria, founder of All Set Style, and I talk about following your intuition, even when it is telling you something you don't want to hear. And what happens when you realize that you have been chasing someone else's version of success. With a background in Commerce and HR, Shelby thought she was on the “right path” but when something didn't feel right, she started exploring what would light her up and what would be true for her. When circumstances forced her hand, she finally listened to that inner voice and set out to dismantle the fears and cultural limitations so she could step into her zone of genius and fully express herself as a creative person.She now makes an impact in the world by helping people use fashion as a communication tool that allows for the discovery and expression of her client's truest self. She also runs events that are focused on helping people tune into their creativity. There is something in this episode for everyone.

In this conversation with Tutti Taygerly, author of Make Space to Lead, we discuss how to re-define our relationship to achievement.Tutti shares her story of rising through the ranks in a 22 year career in the Sylicon Valley tech industry, including time at Facebook, before realizing she wasn't making space for what matters. Her book and this discussion is about the process of recovering from the high-acheiivng tendencies that lead to burnout. The reason Tutti and I became friends is that we get each other. We are both recovering perfectionists and recovering hyper achievers and we are both on the path of choosing to slow down and make space for what really matters. Sometimes we do it well and sometimes we fall in to old patterns. We talk candidly about how we both struggle with old patterns and habits of thought and how we get back on track when we falter.What I love about Tutti is the honesty and playfulness she brings to any endeavor and any conversation, including this one. Want more space for what matters? Thinking of writing a book or doing something else that is exciting for you, but don't know where you will find the space to do it? Listen to this to learn what to do to trust the process.Follow Tutti Taygerly:Website - https://www.tuttitaygerly.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tuttitaygerlyTwitter - https://twitter.com/tuttitaygerlyMedium - https://tuttitaygerly.medium.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tutti/?hl=enFollow Deborah Stellingwerff:Website - https://www.stellarlifeproject.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deborahstellingwerff/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/stellarlifeproject/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-stellingwerff-65219359/Email - deb@deborahstellingwerff.com
