I woke up this morning with no voice. I mean zero. A whisper barely came out. It took a few minutes for it to sink in. I make my living with my voice through coaching, webinars, radio interviews and so on. I felt a little bubble of panic, then denial. Then I went back to sleep. I thought that when I woke up I would be fine, I woke up again, still no voice. I thought about the interviews coming up with my new book release of Relax Into Inspired Action and suddenly, I didn’t feel very relaxed.
I thought, What do I know about throat cures? I made a homemade honey, coconut oil, and lemon concoction. It felt soothing, but still no voice. I even posted in social media to get a few more ideas. And I had more cures to try.
I know every physical condition has a spiritual element related to it as well. An inner voice was telling me that this happened because there was some part of me that felt vulnerable publishing this new book. I remember telling my mother that I felt that this is my most important work to-date. I deeply appreciated what I had created, so what was the problem? I realized that it is this little thing called, “Fear of Being Seen” that many women in business feel at various times. I have coached many people through it. It was now showing up for me, which is kind of funny, because it’s definitely not my first book and I have been on hundreds- probably thousands of radio interviews. It is the truth, that fear shows up right when you are doing something big. As soon as I could put my finger on the fear, it released and I felt free of it.
I surrendered to the laryngitis. I dropped the “fighting it” attitude. I knew that I had key people in my life praying for me and sending me healing vibes. I relaxed and decided to be patient. I started feeling better and better. My voice is still a bit husky, but I’m not worried about it anymore. I am back to feeling relaxed and being in the present moment.
In order to be successful in business, there needs to be an inner strength that will carry you through the ups and downs. There needs to be a core belief that you can and will do and learn what you need. And there needs to be support along the way. I have coached many women in business to create the growth they want.
Here is what one of my clients had to say:
“It’s hard to put into words what attending the Relax Into Attracting Clients workshop has done for both me and my business. Before I met Sheri, I was looking for a mentor who had the magic mix of the spiritual and the intensely practical. For me, Sheri strikes exactly the right balance between the two. Every time I read my notes from the course, a new and brilliant suggestion leaps out at me and inspires me anew to take action. Sheri demystifies the process of attracting clients, making it easily attainable for all attendees, whatever their business or current level of experience or confidence. At the same time, her workshops push us all further than we would ever have ventured alone, safe in the knowledge that she has been there and done that. I have already implemented many of the suggestions gleaned from this course and the positive results have shown up immediately. It has been extremely valuable to learn from the experience of the other group members and I value the camaraderie amongst the group – we are all in this together, learning and sharing as we go along. If you are looking for a clear, easy-to-follow route to growing your mailing list and finding more customers and clients with practical exercises, inspired action steps, expert advice and a high level of encouragement and support then look no further!”
