The lack of alignment will always keep you from having the business you want to have.
You can have a variety of concerns and questions. Maybe you aren’t sure whether the idea for a new design is right for you. Or you already have some successful designs but want to recapture the “spark” that made you so passionate or can’t figure out how to take things to the next level.
Long story short, somewhere along the way, you have gotten out of alignment, and your design is no longer a reflection of yourself.
Before we get into the practical how-to-do when you have these concerns, it’s important to understand the energetics of alignment.
Being in alignment means honoring the amazing unique gifts, talents, passions, and desires and sharing them with the world.
If you’re in alignment, life and work feel easy. Everything flows naturally because you’re doing the work you were made for, and you’re using your gifts daily. You are acknowledging who you really are and showing everyone that side of you, too.
If you’re out of alignment, everything feels harder than it needs to be. You feel like you have to search out opportunities actively. You’re disengaged from your work, and you might be saying yes to projects and people that donโt honor where you are and who you are. Your target audience overlooks you or doesn’t “get” you. And overall, you feel lost and lacking direction.
Doing what you love and are best at
If your business is not built around you doing the work you truly love and excel at it, you are out of alignment.
The more you can spend your time using those gifts and talents, and the more your business will thrive.
Take some time to get clear on the work that really lights you up.
Does your business naturally incorporate things that are important to you and that you care about? You have to be crystal clear on this before you start a business. And if you already own a business, you have to check in regularly to make sure it still holds.
The right people
If your target audience is everyone, then you’re not in alignment. If your business involves doing work, you love, but for clients or customers you’re actually not that crazy about, then you’re not in alignment.
On top of that, choosing to work only with the people who are an ideal fit for you calls in more people just like them.
Being out of alignment is a signal to guide you back to your business purpose. When you pay attention to those feelings, they’ll help you create a business that feeds your soul, one that allows you to do the work you are great at and to do it for people who respect and value you.
