“Underlying everything, we want something good for ourselves…even if we’re in a behavior we see as bad, most likely we’re just wanting to protect ourselves or make ourselves feel better because we’re going through something that’s hard.” – Elyse Hughes

Lunar Business Success by Monique Alamedine
Guest Post by Monique Alamedine
Do you know what the #1 productivity tool is, that’s FREE and staring you in the face right now?
Believe me when I tell you the moon is an untapped resource which so many Entrepreneurs are missing out on. It’s predictable AND consistent – two important things you need as a solid base for your business.
Tired of constantly pushing to ‘make shit happen’, I was getting a sense that there was a better way of doing things. Nature was calling me back into it’s loving arms, and I was struggling to find a way to maintain my edge, while still being in flow.
I started feeling a pull to connect more with the moon, which was quite frankly the most amazing discovery.
Re-connecting felt like the most natural transition.
Glorious. Divine. Real – yet – Tangible. Solid.
Now you may think with all this moon talk that I’m a softly spoken hippy – think again.
Whilst I love the divine feminine energy, I’m far from being softly spoken and living in flowing dresses. It’s taken me years to realize that femininity comes in different packages and aligning with the moon has allowed the perfect blend of masculine and feminine energy to come together beautifully.
Tapping Into This Ancient Wisdom Ensures You Maintain Your Business Groove.
The two more commonly known phases are new and full moon.
New moon is perfect for setting your intentions for the month, as well as starting new projects.
Full Moon is the time to release what’s no longer serving you, and reap what you’ve sown.
The first half is about the doing i.e. Putting yourself out there, marketing, hustling, with the second half allowing time for reflection.
There are 8 phases of the moon cycle, with each representing a different focus & action :
- New Moon
- Waxing Crescent
- First Quarter
- Waxing Gibbous
- Full Moon
- Disseminating
- Third Quarter
- Balsamic
It takes the moon 29.5 days to orbit the Earth, hence why it’s an awesome goal-setting process with little check points on the way to hit your yearly goals.
I was drawn into La Luna’s magic through intuition, and if you’re feeling the same pull then start by going outside every night and moon-bathing.
Notice what phase she’s going through, and journal your thoughts and feelings.
The next new moon is on the 9th March (Southern Hemisphere) and it’s a super moon. This is when it’s at the closest point to earth during a new or full moon. She’s going to look bigger and brighter to us at this point so soak up the magic in all her glory.
Be sure to take the time to write your intentions down somewhere you can refer back to.
It’s a Pisces New moon which is the perfect time to re-connect spirit and business.
Think about how you can shift the energy in your business?
It’s time to put yourself out there, and accept that you may never fit in anywhere and that’s not a negative thing.
I created Zen Hustler because I just couldn’t find a place I belonged. I’m a multi-passionate, ambivert, spiritual, woo-woo badass, with the spirit of a hustler and the heart of a fairy. Pretty confusing huh.
If you can’t find what you want – create it.
Use the energy of this moon to re-configure all the parts of yourself scattered around, by accepting, loving and integrating the essence of YOU.

Overcoming the Good Girl Syndrome and Redefining What Success Means to You by Anna Lundberg
Guest Post by Anna Lundberg
My mum has often told me about the time that she came to my play school for the end of year ceremony. When my name was called, I sprung joyfully out of my seat and skipped towards the teacher. “Anna! Go back to your seat and walk properly!” was the response from the teacher. I was three years old.
In Form 2, aged five, I was told by my teacher to stand on my chair for the rest of the lesson, after I broke my ruler by mistake.
While going through my old exercise books a while back, there was a very clear message coming through from my teachers’ comments: I must be a “good girl”. I had to be careful, sensible. No mistakes. Neat and tidy. I must live up to everyone’s expectations.
Each of these stories is innocent enough perhaps but they all had lasting effects. The lessons that these teachers taught me don’t necessarily serve me well in a world where risk taking, entrepreneurship, and creativity can take you further than keeping your head down and working conscientiously…
The desire – or need? – to be a ‘good girl’, to please my teachers, to not disappoint, is deeply rooted in my DNA. That’s not to say that I’ve never been naughty (shh!) but I’ve always had that deep fear of being told off. Fundamentally, I still seek approval. I want that gold star, confirmation that I’ve done the right thing, the “Good girl, Anna!”
When you’re constantly looking for outside approval, relying on others to build your self-esteem, you’re never going to feel fully satisfied or at peace. You’ll analyze the comments people make, questioning why they said what they said. If it’s something complimentary then you’ll be hungry for more. If they criticize, or maybe even worse they’re indifferent, you’ll feel like crap.
At some point, you need to have the confidence to say: I’ve done my best, I’ve done a good job.
You don’t always get it right the first time. You make mistakes. This is a good thing! As long as you learn from your mistakes and you keep trying, these mistakes are ultimately what will lead to your success.
Life is messy. It’s not always neat and tidy! You’ll take some steps forwards and a few steps back; you’ll have huge successes and you’ll have some disappointments; you’ll feel inspired and energized and at times you’ll feel disheartened and wonder if you’re on the right track.
Success does not mean pleasing others, and it doesn’t mean getting everything right all the time. Real success comes from setting goals that are meaningful to you. Having the right goals in place is fundamental to achieving them and for that achievement to really contribute to your happiness and life satisfaction.
So forget about being a ‘good girl’ and create your own definition of success. Ultimately, setting meaningful goals is about intentionally creating the life that you want; one step at a time.
