A total turnaround to be more recognized

Have you ever thought:

“I really wish people would see me…

If only I could be recognized for my talent…”

The solution is not what you think. 🤔

I have been there.

And it’s easy to think that the solution to feeling unrecognized by people is to be recognized

But I can tell you, that what I’ve learned is this is not the solution at all.

The Problem

For instance, in this last year, one of the things I wished could be recognized for was being a straight-up business genius.

I’ve been writing and publishing online for 20 years and building up small businesses for almost 15 years. I’ve had my own business for 10 years.

I know things!

But a year ago I was feeling like this was not translating into how I was being perceived…

like compared to if I were a man for instance, and I was pissed off about it.

Experimenting with Changing Tactics

About a year ago, I decided to do something different.

Something that didn’t include trying to get other people to see me.

Something that did not include proving myself or earning anything more.

I decided to turn it around–

Rather than wait for someone to see me and this genius inside of me, and give me an award (or something),

I wondered what would happen if I put energy into embodying and believing in that genius myself!

“What would happen if I looked in the mirror and saw myself the way I crave to be recognized?” I thought.

The Result

Well it’s been about a year, and it’s been one of my best business years ever!

I’ve loved the clients I’ve helped with writing for their books and business, and I adore leading my Writing Groups. It’s been really successful.

I can look back and say, “WOW. Sofia, you hit your goals more consistently and you actually enjoyed the process a lot more than in the past.”

That to me is genius:

working less, and making more.

being less stressed.

my clients are happy and getting results.

The Lesson

if you desire to be seen a certain way,

see yourself as that person.

That is what really matters…

That’s more powerful than anything you can get from anybody else.

BE that person:

That sparkly, mermaid version of yourself

and continue to believe that is the REAL you.

It’s a bonus when,

as you believe it, and live it,

more people will come to see it.

And more people who resonate with you will naturally come into your life…

Want to see what happens when you get to be your FULL genius, mermaid self?
