about success, growth andmagnetism that high-level

That high-level entrepreneursmust understand.
These shifts change everythingfor one of my clients, and they
can do the same for you.

one's for you.
Hi, welcome to the Connect withSheila Botelho podcast.
I'm committed to helping youreconnect to your purpose,

(00:43):
elevate your wellbeing and buildyour version of a happy,
successful life.
You're listening to a mini-sodewhere I share an insight
designed to help you live intowhat lights you up.
This week, every high achievingentrepreneur I work with
reaches a point where their oldstrategies stop working.
They hit a wall, not becausethey lack talent or drive, but

(01:06):
because they're scaling withoutthe right foundation.
In the next few minutes, I'mgoing to share three truths
about success, growth andmagnetism that could completely
shift how you approach yourbusiness and make it feel easier
and more aligned than everbefore.
These aren't just concepts.
I'll tell you about a clientwho applied them in her business

(01:28):
and saw immediate, tangibleshifts, not from working harder,
but from doing something mostpeople overlook.
Imagine waking up with clarityand confidence, knowing that
your business is growing, notbecause you're burning out, but
because you're finally workingwith your energy instead of
against it.
Or you could keep pushing theway you have, wondering why more

(01:52):
effort isn't leading to betterresults and feeling like you're
constantly one step behind yourown success.
Let's get into it.
So I had a client.
Let's call her Patrice.
She had built a wildlysuccessful consulting business.
Clients were rolling in, herreputation was solid and on

(02:13):
paper she had made it.
But here's what wasn't working.
She was exhausted, no matterhow much money she made.
She was feeling like she wastreading water.
Her morning started with stress, her creativity felt drained
and, despite all her success,she wasn't enjoying any of it.
She told herself it's just abusy season, I just need to push

(02:36):
through.
But that season had lastedyears.
One day she finally admitted Ican't scale like this.
Something has to change.
And so she noticed and as wediscussed this, without
self-care, you're sprintingtoward burnout, not success.
Your best ideas, your biggestopportunities and the most

(02:58):
magnetic energy don't come whenyou're depleted.
They come when you're resourced.
So self-care isn't a break fromsuccess, it is a requirement
for it.
When Patrice prioritized herselffirst, even before business,
her clarity sharpened, herdecision-making improved and,

(03:19):
ironically, she started makingmore money while working less.
How does this work, you mightbe asking.
There is a strategy to it, butfirst we're going to talk about
what is underneath the strategy,and that is that your business
grows at the speed of yourself-trust, and when you're

(03:43):
tapped into that, everythingshifts.
But for you to tap into it, youneed to get quiet, create space
and actually not be stressedout.
So here's the second shift thatPatrice made she stopped
outsourcing her confidence.
She used to spend weeksoveranalyzing decisions, waiting

(04:03):
for a sign, waiting forreassurance, waiting for someone
else to validate that she wasmaking the right move, and every
time she hesitated she lostmomentum, opportunities passed
her by.
She stayed in cycles ofoverthinking instead of action.
So we made one shift.
Before she made any businessdecision, I asked her what would

(04:27):
future you the version of youwho already has the results do
right now?
When you don't trust yourself,you second guess, overcomplicate
and delay action.
But the more you trust yourself, the faster your results come.
So, instead of waiting forexternal validation, practice

(04:48):
moving as your future self, theversion of you who has already
figured it out she's alreadyinside of you.
You just have to start actinglike it.
The third truth I want to shareis being magnetic isn't about
doing more.
It's about being more of you.

(05:09):
So this last shift that Patricemade was probably the most
surprising one.
She had spent years followingall the best practices in her
industry, polishing hermessaging, mimicking what was
working for others, showing upin a way that she thought that
she should, but it felt forcedand honestly thought that she

(05:30):
should, but it felt forced andhonestly exhausting.
So we stripped it back.
She started trusting hernatural way of communicating,
speaking about what she trulycared about and not just about
what she thought people wantedto hear.
And the moment that she didthat, that's when she noticed
some real changes start tohappen.
You see, people aren't drawn toperfection.

(05:50):
They're drawn to confidence,energy and authenticity.
So, instead of asking how can Ido more, ask how can I be more
of myself.
That's the key to moreeffortless magnetism.
So here's what I invite you todo Pick one of these three

(06:10):
truths and actually apply ittoday.
Will you finally prioritizeself-care as a business strategy
?
Will you start acting like yourfuture self instead of waiting
for permission, or will you stoptrying to fit in a mold and
trust that you are your bestasset?
I would love to hear, send me aDM or comment on my latest post

(06:33):

you apply this will determinehow fast you grow, and these are
things that we work on togetherin the Seasons Growth

There's actually also a sectionthere.
