Scaling our businesses almost always requires us to step out of our comfort zone and into some discomfort. Discomfort is a requirement for growth. You've heard me say this before and I even recorded a podcast episode about it! (Ep 60) But it isn't always wise to step into too much discomfort at once. And some business owners may be in a season where it isn't wise to step into discomfort at all. Before we can scale our businesses successfully (without self-sabotage), we have to make sure we do so from a foundation of safety. It's only when we feel a sense of safety within our businesses and nervous systems that we can scale from a calm, confident place. When we try to scale from a place of fear, pressure or anxiety we just trigger ourselves into fight, flight or freeze which doesn't take our business where we want it to go, it just deteriorates our mental health and confidence. So today let's have a chat about safety before scaling. I'm going to tell you about a time in my own business where I tried scaling without safety, what happened, and how I rebuilt some safety into my business so that you can see how you may be able to build it into yours.   1:1 OR GROUP COACHING Would you like to work together 1:1 or in a group?
