WHAT'S YOUR SHINE?

Are you aware of your own personal essence? Are you proud to let it radiate or do you try to shape it into someone else’s idea of what it means to ‘shine’?

You may wonder why I am asking this question and what does it have to do with creating a successful equine inspired business?

It has everything to do with the success of your business because YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS! 

If you are trying to be like someone else and their business it’s like trying to drive your car with someone else’s car key. It may even be the exact same make and model, but their key will not drive your car. 

You are the key to the success of your business. 

Your personal essence, how you perceive the world, how you hold space for others to know themselves, the things that bring you joy and the things that bring you to tears is your SHINE.

Here’s a SHINING EXAMPLE:

There is a franchise of bagel restaurants in my town. One is 4 miles from my house, the other 5 miles. I prefer the bagel shop that is 5 miles away. I generally choose to spend my money there if I’m going to have a bagel. The food is exactly the same. It’s the ‘vibe’ of the restaurant that is totally different. 

In the bagel shop closer to me, the vibe I get when I’m there is that I’m just another customer and the wait staff is ‘doing me a favor’ by serving me. In the bagel shop a mile further from my house, I feel welcome the minute I walk in. Not only is the staff friendly but the other customers are generally friendlier as well.

As I said, it is exactly the same food. The ‘vibe’ I’m experiencing comes directly from the ownership. The humans who support and train the staff. The owners who appreciate their customers want them to feel appreciated. The owner who sees their customers as dollar signs are just ‘making a living’ not considering the experience they are creating for their patrons. 

DO THIS...

I invite you to give yourself a couple of days to lean into what enhances your shine... and also notice how others shine their unique essence. 

** Notice and appreciate everything that brings you joy, laughter, ease, gratitude, synchronicity, or acknowledgment.

** Notice when you feel fully aligned, fully yourself. 

** Notice what you are doing and/or thinking when you feel that way. 

Even if it’s just mucking stalls, or cooking dinner, or singing your child a lullaby.  It doesn’t need to be the experience of beating your shortest time at an open gallop on the cross-country course (though it could be!).

You will know this alignment by the quality of your focus, the expansiveness in your heart, and lack of self-consciousness and self-criticism. (You can’t shine and sh*t on yourself at the same time!)

When this aspect of yourself, your true essence, has full permission for self-expression, your business will begin to take on a life that not only compliments your essence but begins to require your essence to shine even brighter!

I appreciate you ~ shine on!

I often wonder about what do they mean by “shine”, thanks to this article I understand and I get a better sense of what my shine is. The good thing is that everyone can shine unfortunately not everybody does.

So true, Catherine! So many feel they don't have permission to Shine.
