Creating Aligned Connections for Life

When you go on the entrepreneurial, expert or leadership journey, it's all about the people.

Here I'm going to share my 10 tips you need to know to create aligned connections.

The people you serve, collaborate with and lead can elevate the journey or send it spiralling out of control.

How you attract aligned connections is essential to live a life of longevity, prosperity and peace. Data from the 80-year Harvard study, and work from research legends Martin Seligman and Ed Diener, confirm this. 

That is why I was so thrilled when I read one of my client's 'slice of success' this week…

“This week I met with a phenomenal business partner completely aligned to my values. I finally feel 100% connection with a business partner. A soul connection in business is a dream come true. The internal security I feel in myself is being reflected outside of me.”

I grew up watching my mother create instant, lasting and intuitive connections at will; it is a gift. 

She would sit next to somebody on a plane and they would be talking for hours, exchanging details and helping one another along. My brother also has this gift. 

I have also seen the dark side of misaligned connections:

- Money being stolen

- Boardroom bust-ups 

- People becoming sick because of the stress of managing challenging people

This quote springs to mind…

“Each relationship reflects the depths of your inner self.”

The aligned connections you experience are directly proportional to your level of self-alignment. 

That is why self-compassion, love and acceptance is sexy - people can feel it. 

On the other hand, every challenging or collaborative connection sows a seed for your growth. 

Although some people may want to know the ideal phrase to say to connect, or maybe a process or strategy to find aligned connections, I believe it is much more powerful to help you go inwards first. 

And let the Universe handle the details. 

That is what we did with the client I spoke about above…
