Aligning with Your Business

In my book, Align + Attract - Align Your Energy to Create a Business you Actually Love, I share an exercise where the main character Anna writes a letter to her business. She asks her business what it wants, and then shares the response from her business. 

As I share in the episode, this was actually the letter I wrote to my own business back in 2010, and the reply I received. I still have it! I follow up with a letter I wrote to my business just recently. Listen to the episode now.

Being Intentional with your Friend and Support Network.

Who are the people who you are currently closest to? Do you feel like you have the connection you desire, and the support you need? 

According to Robin Dunbar, the brain has specific numbers of relationships we're able to maintain at any one time. In terms of our very closest relationships - we each have just 4-6! That includes family members. The next level out - our best friends and other family is 10-15, inclusive of the first group. It makes sense to be very intentional about who these people are. This doesn't necessarily mean cutting people off, just noticing where you put your time and energy.

We might feel we can manage more relationships than this but Dunbar says it's actually a zero sum game - if a significant new person comes in, it does push someone out. And spreading ourselves too thin by trying to sustain more close relationships doesn't necessarily work. 

This is so important for us to consider...

Creating Alignment from Chaos

Does life feel a bit chaotic for you at the moment? If not, I'm sure you can remember a time it has. There can be everyday chaos such as the kind having little kids can create. Dealing with things like lockdowns can certainly create a feeling of chaos. Being tuned in to drama on or offline can contribute. Feelings of chaos can come from difficult relationships, or childhood stuff.

Then there is the kind of chaos that comes from rapid business growth. So much can be triggered as there's a lot to manage and you're constantly being called to step into the new identity of who you need to be to thrive at your next level. This is a big reason a lot of my private Kinesiology clients work with me. 

In this podcast episode, I asks you to consider anything that feels a bit chaotic in your own life right now and then we do a group Kinesiology session to balance ourselves. We use the goal: "I feel clear, calm and focused on what is important to me." I can't...

Aligning to Abundance

What is abundance for you?

• Does it relate to money and goals you might have in your business?
• Is it about the quality of your relationships?
• Is it about time and energy?
• Is it about having a rich life and feeling gratitude for all you have?

Likely, your definition of true abundance will include a combination of most or all of these elements.

In this episode of the podcast, Kerry will help you to feel aligned with abundance. Go through the process and then observe what flows for you!

My Best and Worst Launches

In this episode I share my BEST and WORST launches. As I say at the start, I haven't had any really terrible launches where no one or very small numbers sign up, but equally I haven't had any really big launches either. A large part of this connects to audience size - I would need to grow my mailing list a lot to have substantially bigger launches. I've always been more focused on my lovely Kinesiology clients, with launching courses being a secondary way to work with me.

My launches fall in the middle and what makes one a success over another very much links to what I spoke about in episode 29: how I felt during it, how I showed up AND the final outcomes. 

Worst launch

I felt that my "worst" launch was the first launch I did of Align + Attract back in 2015. I had invested a lot of time AND money in my then new program and took a lot of expectations and even pressure into the launch - leading me to feel like it wasn't terribly successful. I felt...

What Makes a Great Launch?

The quick answer to this question is that of course YOU get to decide what makes a great launch for you. 

For most of us, outcomes do of course play a part, but feeling good during your launch and having a wider perspective are important too. 

What you consider a great launch might be influenced by the Season of Life you're in. Many of my clients balance running a launch with seeing clients, or their family life, or other commitments - it's not always realistic or a priority to go for the big results we may hear about in the industry.

Giving yourself permission to define a great launch for YOU can be empowering. Without an excessive focus on results as the only metric of success you can be a little more objective and hopefully enjoy it more too.

Here are four factors you might like to consider that could contribute to YOUR great launch:

1 - Committing to launching and creating your plan

If you've never launched or you avoid...

Creating a Simple New Product

In this episode, we look at four steps you might work through to create a new product.

1 - Pay attention to what your clients genuinely NEED.

Get curious. You might notice a particular theme or issue coming through in multiple sessions. You could pay attention to what your clients/audience respond to with more enthusiasm on social media, an article you write, a podcast interview or episode you do or a particular newsletter topic or theme that gets more opens or replies. See if you can figure out the core problem that is being highlighted that you can help with.

With my new Launch...

Future You Visualisation for Stressful Times

At the time of publishing this episode (August 2021), a lot of Australia is in lockdown. If you're feeling the stress of that - or feeling stuck or challenged in any other way - I created this episode for you. Even though we're past those crazy pandemic times, you might be feeling stuck in something else - unable to see your way forwards. This visualisation will help. 

I had very challenging period some years ago now after leaving a difficult relationship situation. I had some deep healing work to do but as I started to feel better, I felt unable to move forwards until an external thing happened - selling a property I was responsible for.

In the meantime, I was 36, living with my parents in the country whilst paying that mortgage, yet to even start re-establishing myself in Adelaide - a place I hadn't lived in for 15 years.  I was grateful for my parents' support but it not what I had envisaged for my life. I...

Using Your Creativity to Create More Alignment

How aligned do you currently feel with your own message?

At certain times you might find you want to develop a stronger connection with your own business messages. This is true in the early days of business, but also after you've had a break away from your business, perhaps after having children, or when you feel like you've lost a bit of focus. 

At these times, you could consider using your creativity to create more alignment through embarking on a project and communicating your message in new or more consistent ways, creating clarity and momentum.

I've done this myself early in my business, through blogging, after having my son, when I wrote my book, and again after having my daughter, when I started this podcast.

Let's dive in ...

What might you try?

1. Choose a medium that matches your strengths and goals, that you believe your ideal clients will connect with - book, daily Facebook or Insta Liv, regular reels...
