What is alignment and why is it so important? Alignment is the word we use when your purpose, passion and greatest gifts are all clear and brought together; you’re connected to your deepest truths and your life and business reflect this clarity.
With alignment, everything flows. You just know you’re on track. Every day is an adventure filled with discovery. There is a magnetic quality, connecting you to the perfect people. You feel like the universe is on your side because it is! I often describe this as being in your Genius Zone. You’re totally committed to your mission even if you never make a dime. Ironically, it is because of this love and this lack of attachment to money that you attract your perfect clients to you effortlessly.
In contrast, without Alignment, your business is likely based on a superficial or limited level of self- knowledge and marketplace factors. Maybe you got seized by an idea and decided to just follow it. For example, you might think, “People tell me I’m pretty good at massage so I’ll just get a table and start doing massage therapy sessions.”
Some common symptoms of non-Alignment are: • Inconsistent results
• Self-doubt
• Ambivalence
• Uncertainty
• Lack of motivation
If you’ve been experiencing any of these, it is time to press pause and go deeper.
Alignment
The Key to Success by Howard Sambol
How do you create alignment? Here are a few powerful steps that will get you started.
• Wipe the slate clean! Ask yourself what you would do it you had $20M tomorrow and you never needed to work again for money. How would you spend your time after you did all your vacationing and traveling around the world, etc.?
• Avoid jumping to any conclusions. Be willing
to take the time needed for deeper reflection. Remember that you’re always molding the clay and you already have all the knowledge inside you.
• Stop using the “should” word. There is no external authority that knows what’s best for you.
• Write down every discovery or insight about what truly matters to you, no matter how crazy it may seem. You do not need any justification! Only you can give yourself permission to live your life honestly.
Jeff’s Amazing Story
A man named Jeff came to me many years ago. He was an IT consultant and made okay money with it, but it wasn’t his passion. Jeff was enthralled with the cutting edge knowledge in Holistic Health and had the innate ability to understand research papers intended for PhDs in biochemistry.
The problem was that Jeff had no formal degrees or credentials in health, so he had no idea how he would be able to make any money with his passion.
