As a heart-centered service based female entrepreneur building a business, it can be hard when we don’t feel in control of our business and income. We set goals and strive to achieve them but when the results that we want don’t come, we can get frustrated. It makes it even harder when you don’t have any other income to fall back on and bills need to be paid.
You want to feel empowered and in control of your business, be able to achieve your goals and be able to reliably predict the outcomes of your efforts but when worry and frustration take over, it can seem like a something that’s completely out of reach.
Below are 4 tips for developing great self-trust as a woman in business. Allow the Universe to support you with achieving even your most lofty dreams and trust that the Universe has your best interests at heart.
Release your need to control everything. Taking the time to relax and doing less rather than doing more is vital to developing more trust in yourself and in the universe.
When we relax, we are able to tap into our inner guidance; those intuitive nudges and inspiration that helps us with creative solutions. We automatically raise our vibration and our connection to universal guidance.
Meditate, journal or, go for a walk especially when you feel overwhelmed. It helps you to put things into perspective and helps you to decipher which items on your to do list are priority.
Have you ever had a situation where you were presented with a problem but then rather than having knee jerk reaction, trying to solve it right away, it resolved itself?
It’s likely because you didn’t stress over it and allowed the solution to unfold on it’s own….based on your trust that everything works out for you…eventually. Remind yourself of these instances and let go. “Let go and let God”, as the saying goes.
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude to build your trust in the Universe supporting you. Seriously, you’ve heard it over and over again about how much keeping a gratitude journal helps develop trust.
We are hard wired for negativity. We are surrounded by it on the news from friends, colleagues and family members. Keeping a daily gratitude journal helps to re-wire your brain and your thinking to a more positive and optimistic frame of mind.
Inspiration and intuitive nudges come much more easily and frequently when we are in a more positive frame of mind. And, keeping a daily gratitude journal also helps you to keep track of the evidence of being supported by “lucky” circumstances which gradually increases your trust muscle even more over time.
Commit to spending 5-10 minutes per day, writing in a physical journal or an online journal, it doesn’t matter which because both work despite what you may have heard before. What matters is what your preference is.
Let go of resistance with Tapping and develop greater self-trust. Start by developing greater self awareness by listening to those limiting thoughts, beliefs & negative emotions that are running through you mind on a daily or hourly basis and learn how to let it all go and reprogram your beliefs with a mind body tool called Tapping.
Tapping has been scientifically proven to reduce cortisol levels. It disrupts the stress response thereby allowing you to be more resourceful, creative and empowered.
When we ignore those niggling thoughts and negative emotions that are lurking under the surface of our awareness, it’s like trying to run through knee deep snow without snow shoes.
It’s like covering a pile of SH$T with ice cream. After a few licks, it tastes like crap. Daily tapping will help you to feel “in the zone”.
You’ll feel more optimistic, more relaxed, sleep well at night and you’ll begin to attract more money and opportunities your way thereby cultivating greater trust in yourself and the Universe.
Be bold and ask for what you want to develop more self-trust and trust in the Universe. Not only should you be setting written goals, you should be reviewing them daily and asking the Universe for help.
But there’s a way to do it that facilitates a successful outcome. Be open to how your goal is going to manifest. Again, let go of control and allow the Universe to figure out the details.
When you trust that the Universe is actively supporting you, you can relax and be open to hearing when your inner voice is giving you clues about next steps. And when you ask for whatever it is that you want, do it with a knowing that it’s already done.
Visualization is a great way to do this. Close your eyes and imagine the end result of what you want. If it’s a new car, visualize walking around the outside studying the colour, the trim, the shape, the model and sitting inside of it. Allow your joy and grateful feelings to bubble to the surface.
The more you do this, the better you’ll get at visualizing your goals. You can start small by visualizing something simple and asking the Universe to show it to you within a certain time frame. For example a visualize a white rabbit and ask to see it in your environment sometime over the next 24 hours and then let it go.
The first time I tried this I was shocked when within a few hours, I was watching t.v. and saw a white cartoon rabbit. Doing an exercise like this one will help you to develop more trust in yourself and the Universe over time. You can find more exercises like this one to help you develop more trust in Pam Grout’s books E-Squared or E-Cubed.

In today’s video, I thought I would do a tapping for the anxiety you might feel when you’re paying your bills. I know that for me, way back when, when we were having our financial troubles, and we had a lot of debt, basically we were in a situation where we were borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
Today our topic is tapping on negative social media comments that upset you. If you’re active on social media at all, like me, you’ve probably from time to time received a negative comment about something that you’ve posted and despite hundreds of positive comments, that one negative comment can sometimes get to you, and I know it has gotten to me. You tend to focus on that and get angry about it and start questioning yourself and wondering if you’ve done something wrong or how you might be able to do things better. But, in any case, we tend to focus too much on it.
