I never thought I was a business owner or was “entrepreneurial” and I am still not sure I identify with that word now! But my journey using EFT totally threw that onto its head.
I had worked as a teacher, in a private day nurseries and had a complete career change into working in mental health . Working in mental health then led me onto my EFT journey. I always assumed that I would stay working for someone else but wasn’t bothered about climbing the ladder and being a manager. I had been there, tried it and knew it wasn’t what got me out of bed in the morning. I was perfectly happy in this, it didn’t feel like a bad thing as I absolutely loved my job and helping people has always been my passion.
Until I stumbled upon EFT/tapping and yes like everyone else that has come across this technique my initial thought was what on earth is this and how is tapping on myself going to help with anything.
But my discovery changed my life. I started like most using scripted videos and realised the difference it really made to my life, my anxiety decreased and I had a tool to acknowledge my emotions that I had been pushing away!
With a friend it then came up about training to be able to do it for myself and eventually others, at the time I didn’t know this would be the start of a big change. So, I trained with an amazing trainer, saw the transformations I had for myself and started to use the techniques.
My initial thought when I trained (and now looking back was a way I was limiting myself) was at least I can do this for myself.
There was never a bigger plan,even though I think I did say I didn’t want the 9 to 5 any more in my initial call with my trainer so the idea must have been there, but felt very unachievable and not something that I could do.
Through then tapping with some amazing practitioners working on my own limiting beliefs that I can’t have my own business, that’s not something I could do, I don’t have the abilities to be self-employed and the fear of being a business owner was BIG! However, I kept tapping on where this had come from and how this was holding me back.
Next thing I knew I created my Instagram, my logo came to me while tapping and then I was doing events, fairs, tapping circles, business tapping circles and networking a lot of things I never believed were for me.
I got out of my own way to create something that is mine and I am still learning, coming up against challenges but it is fantastic to have something in my back pocket to use when I become stuck and need to work through this. I know I have it at my finger tips (literally).
I am not ashamed to say that I am in both worlds of mental health and being a business owner. Taking on my continued challenges that occur in doing this but I can now easily say I am proud of what I have achieved. I know I will get there with kindness to myself and softness in my business. I adore that I get to share EFT with others and cheer from the side lines as they live lighter lives that are more free, connecting with their bodies, achieving what they want and getting fear out of their paths.
Tapping has allowed me to achieve so much I didn’t expect or I even thought was possible so I am going to keep tapping and keep building a business that I can be thankful for and pass on this amazing technique.
