#144: The Roadblocks to Owning Your Story

In this mindset episode, we are talking about the roadblocks to owning your story.  I receive messages on a regular basis asking these questions, so here’s the podcast addressing the roadblocks.  The four areas of questions that I receive involve finding my authentic voice (embracing vulnerability); boundaries in business and life; building your wheelhouse and building your platform business.  These are the roadblocks you can experience while on the path to taking radical responsibility for yourself. 

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Vulnerability is required in order to create connections with others. It is impossible to find your true authentic voice without embracing vulnerability. If it feels scary, then start practicing vulnerability with small aspects of yourself until you learn to trust that voice.  It will take time.  It won’t happen overnight.  It is a process and a practice.
2. Boundaries are required for any healthy relationship to thrive. Boundaries are a sign of self-respect, what you will or won’t accept or allow in your life.  It is always a choice.  Tackle the boundaries in your personal life before you tackle the ones in your business.  It is impossible to run your business as an entrepreneur without boundaries.
3. Building your wheelhouse involves breaking down your story to fully understand the things you can speak, coach, and write about because you know it like no one else. This is what you are here to do. This involves your gifts, what you can create the most impact with, with ease in your life.  Want to learn more about your wheelhouse?  Listen to episode #102 on Building Your Wheelhouse https://apple.co/2B8qhZL
4. Building your platform business starts with picking the starting point that speaks to you, is an easy starting point, and picking only one starting point. Entrepreneurs try to take on so many different things at once, and then struggle to get things off the ground successfully.  This is a cycle of overwhelm that doesn’t lead to anywhere productive.   So how do you stop this cycle?  Start with one thing and give it the time and effort to get it off the ground.  This may be one-on-one coaching, group coaching, podcasting, speaking, or writing.  You likely know what the starting point is and where your gifts are best utilized.  Allow yourself to be successful at one thing, build your confidence, and allow your business to expand organically.  This is truly the best way to build your platform business.
