Enterprising woman: Find out why you need to give yourself permission to grow and how to do it
If you are a woman and you have a great dream in your heart, but when it comes to bringing that dream to reality, many times you withdraw and cower, then discover how to give yourself permission to be the great woman that God put in you!
The longer I have been teaching women entrepreneurs to be all that God has called them to be, the more I identify with the root problems that prevent them from achieving it.
My online business has allowed me to work with female entrepreneurs around the world, from Israel to Japan, China, Europe, as well as all Spanish-speaking countries, and I realize that they all deal with very similar problems.
As I myself have gone through a profound transformative process: from being a homeowner and a home schooling mom, to having my own successful company online and offline, I know perfectly well what it means to come out of your shell safely and bravely cry out for that place that put in your heart and that on the one hand excites you, but on the other hand terrifies you.
We enterprising women are essentially dreamers, because God made us so. However, when it comes to bringing those dreams to reality, we often withdraw and cower. To the point of postponing them and simply continuing with the life we already know, which does not satisfy us, but at least it works for us.
From my own experience, I know that entrepreneurial women, unlike men, have to give themselves a tremendous amount of permission to undertake.
The man is a soldier and a warrior. You tell him how and there he goes.
The woman is more emotional and, due to her maternal essence, naturally concerned about others. When undertaking, she needs to know that she will be safe, that it will not affect her loved ones, that no one will reject or condemn her and that she will not lose her feminine essence in the process.
She wants to continue being a mom, wife, partner, friend, sister, daughter, etc. and will defend its "nest" tooth and nail. Unfortunately, to the point of not developing further to become the great woman that God created and, paradoxically, could help, nurture and save so many more people.
Let me tell you today that you don't have to sacrifice one thing to get another. If you dare to undertake, you will only positively impact more lives, you will earn more money to help others much more and you will be able to live a lifestyle that makes you feel like the queen you are.
What do you have to do to give yourself that permission?
You have to broaden your vision of what it means to be an enterprising woman.
Culturally, the place assigned to you is too small. Throughout history, women have always played a secondary and silent role. Even though that has changed a lot, there are still mental patterns acquired from our mothers and grandmothers who, subliminally, tell you that you should not get out of that role and that it will go wrong for you if you do.
That was never God's plan for women. Her plans for you are great. She did not create you to silently support a world ruled by men, but she gave you a voice and a heart of solidarity, to be the perfect complement to them and thus achieve great things together. Things that men cannot do on their own.
A clear sign of this is that companies are increasingly accepting more and more women on their boards, because they know that we have a lot to contribute.
If you have any doubt, read what the Bible says about the virtuous woman in the book of Proverbs, chapter 31, written more than 2,500 years ago. She is a mother, a wife, cares for her team, works hard for the good of others, is an entrepreneur and invests in real estate and is greatly blessed.
As you can see, she does not have to choose between one or the other, because she knows that she can have everything, because God has ordained it from the beginning of his Creation!
She is what God wants for you. Take your place bravely, dear enterprising woman.
