I figured out how to
charge for my knowledge and feel comfortable. I am NOT a
starving artist.
I truly see my
genius; owning up to it forces you to be responsible for
this knowledge. It’s like Maryann Williamson’s famous
poem puts it:
“Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light,
not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?’
Actually, who are
you not to be?
You are a child of
God.
Your playing small
does not serve the world…”
My business grows,
even if it is still in its infancy. Others who started
at the same time already jumped ship and went back into
jobs.
When you operate
inside your genius you don’t worry so much about cash
flow; it’s just a part of running a normal cycle of
business and has nothing to do with your personal
genius. You just have to become more creative and
determined to move forward.
Once I accepted my
personal genius, I began to play big, develop my
talents, hire people to compliment my weaknesses and
have the confidence to know I am building a business
that will be a legacy for my children.
When I show my
genius, I am giving others permission to show theirs.
And, what’s more – I know it when I see it in others and
can immediately celebrate their genius with them.
