This call is about identifying and overcoming the blocks to help you step fully into your business. Today’s caller, Katie, wants to know how to overcome the fear and perfectionism that is blocking her from building her new Life Coaching business.

We discuss the root of the fear that is holding her back because it doesn’t matter how big our vision is, we can’t bypass our fears until we heal the root of the fear.

Coaches and people on a personal growth path with a lot of awareness tend to judge themselves harshly because they feel they should know better. It’s important to let go of the pressure and be tender with ourselves.

When self-love has high stakes, it’s hard to get momentum because we are protecting ourselves from ourselves. We sabotage ourselves because we are afraid to move forward and fail in any way. We should accept ourselves where we are now, change our internal dialogue, and allow our internal perfectionist to calm down.

Tell your inner perfectionist it is OK to be vulnerable. You don’t have to be perfect. Invest in yourself. Be your own best client and come together with your tribe.

To build a soul tribe you need these elements:

• A coach or healers to provide guidance and support who coach you in a healthy way.
• Mentors to go to for advice and encouragement.
• Peers and a support team to ask for help, to celebrate with, and if need be, cry on their shoulders.
• People to serve and give back to.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you want to start a new business or make a change but feel blocked by fear?
• Do you relate to being a perfectionist?
• Were you raised by a parent who had high expectations of you and now you internalize those expectations?
• Do you feel connected to and supported by a soul tribe you can be yourself and completely vulnerable with?
