Is AUTHENTICITY holding you back?

Observation, question and something that you might enjoy...

Is AUTHENTICITY holding you back? Yay!

Since 2010 I have been working in the online space mainly focussed in the Health, Wellness and Personal Development businesses. Launching documentaries, books, physical products, digital products, membership sites and so many more formats to deliver amazing and life-changing information…

The great part about this is that I have the opportunity to work with some amazing people. Many of who have become great friends…

Amazing leaders in what they do, which I absolutely love. I love working with people who have not only dedicated their lives to something they LOVE, they also have so much love for it that they want to SHARE it with others who can experience the same.

From things like overcoming fear, taking control of their health, meditation, seeking personal fulfilment, strength and fitness, financial security, relationships with their pets, gut health, relationships and so much more.

Personally, I am proud that I have been able to help these amazing peoples message reach a nice big part of the world. Yes, literally many millions of people exchanging their email address for knowledge resulting in hundreds of thousands of people taking the next step and becoming a customer…

It is amazing for the new customers about to change their lives AND it is amazing for the person teaching the knowledge as they are able to build a business, dedicate more time to their expertise and ultimately invest in a greater experience and reach even more people.

Now, here is the twist. Most of the people that I spend time with love what they do so much, that they sometimes struggle with the ENERGY of online business.

They are so used to working closely with people and communicating in small groups, this whole online world feels shallow and emotionless.

Something doesn't FEEL right.

It feels like this whole online world does not align with their TRUE AUTHENTIC self…

What happens next is they slow down and stop because they feel like they need to pretend to be someone else or they have been told that they need to be someone else in order to make a business out of their passion…

Does any of this sound or feel familiar?

To be honest… I do the same. If something does not feel right… I would rather not do anything at all that feel like I am selling my soul to achieve an outcome.

Even if I did achieve the outcome it would not feel right and like it was deserved. Almost like a dirty result and something I am likely not going to want to do again anyway...

So, then we are faced with a challenge. We know our knowledge could help so many people but the game you appear to have to play doesn't feel like something you want to play...

Fortunately, WE ARE NOT ALONE! I have this illusion that there are actually MORE people like us, who would prefer to not do anything than to do something inauthentic.

OR maybe there is a way to FEEL AUTHENTIC and get the RESULTS and OUTCOME that we are looking to achieve!

This is what I believe long term online business success is going to be centred around.

AUTHENTICITY.

Yep, forget the hype and following someone else's rules…

Instead, actually, become more you… your true authentic self.

That is what I do, I invite people like you to be more of yourself.

To talk to your audience like you are already friends. What would you say? How would you say it? What clothes would you wear, what photos would you share? (that rhymes!)

And most importantly…

What would you OFFER them?

What would you OFFER these amazing future friends that you would FEEL truly AUTHENTIC about?

Something so proud that you KNOW in your heart that if they decided this was for them, then their lives would be changed for the better?

This is where the true MAGIC happens and this is what I have seen happen OVER and OVER again  :)

Over the last few years, I have put this into a 5 part framework/formula which I use for myself and my clients…

I have created a series of videos where I chat exactly about this and how you can start to use this in your journey to create a truly AUTHENTIC OFFER that you can be proud of…

So, if you want to know more, check out The Authentic Offer Video Series here and feel free to share it with other people who you know might also enjoy this authentic approach to creating an integrated life they love:
