The lesson I learned from my first entrepreneurial adventure.

There I was at my first ever vendor trade show with my little table top booth and 3×5 banner. I was such a small fish in a big pond. Most, if not all, of the other vendors had huge, beautifully decorated booths with signs hanging from the ceiling. Yet, here I was in a 12×12 space, modestly decorated for around $250.00 and only 5 skus to sell. I was most definitely out of my element. I decided to focus on MY product, an industry first at the time. After all no one had anything like what I had. That was my USP (unique selling proposition) and I was going to milk it for all it was worth.

The show probably would not have been considered a huge success for the larger vendors who are used to receiving thousands of dollars in orders, but it was for me. I did great! I left with approximately $500.00 in PO’s. The cost of my space was covered and I was elated. Fast forward a few weeks later and one of those PO’s turned into 25. It just so happened that one of the stores was a chain store. They purchased for a few of their stores during the show and after the original stores sold out of product, they reordered and purchased for their other locations as well.

Over the next several years and over 100 sku’s later, there was a lot of learning, mistakes, wins, frustrations, and amazing opportunities. I made a lot of money and loved what I did. Gradually and without even noticing the change, working my business felt icky. I had so many people telling me what I should and shouldn’t do, that it no longer felt authentically me. I was on autopilot just going through the motions.The real turning point was when those voices outside of mine became louder than my own.

By this time, my marriage had taken a very unexpected turn and I had to make the hard decision to stop focusing on growing the business and to let it phase out.

I’m sharing this story because I can pinpoint the approximate time frame when my voice became silent. The day when I choose to  tune my frequency towards the chatter coming from those around me in an effort to make them happy, ignoring my own inner guidance in the process.

Since then, I have learned a lot about energy, vibration, manifesting and healing. I’ve worked with leaders, light workers, soulful entrepreneurs and truth seekers. One of the techniques that has saved me and my clients from building up too much resistance is the energy bubble. This is also one of the many techniques I teach in my Balanced Energy Practitioner course. I hope you find it easy to implement, fun to use and extremely effective in keeping your energy in balance.

Personal energy bubble technique.

This can be done anywhere, anytime. While meditating is great but not necessary to be effective. Simply visualize yourself in an energy bubble of well being. What does it feel like to you on an emotional level? What does it smell like? What colors are there? Are their sounds? Become very familiar with your bubble so that anytime you need to clime in, you are easily able to make the connection because it is familiar.

Using the visual of a bubble allows you to keep out anything you don’t want. When you are protected in “your bubble,” you should be focused on nothing but your own inner beauty, your own inner voice. Allow the outside chatter to bounce off never penetrating your field of energy. If you give this enough practice, I promise you that the resistance you are building up that is keeping you from manifesting will literally melt away.
