In this week’s episode of Penny for Your Shots, I’m diving into the idea of discovering your superpower and how it can transform your business and life. Inspired by last week’s conversation with Lydia Martin, I’m sharing tips, journal prompts, and reflections on what it means to slow down, find joy, and create a business you’re proud of.

What’s Your Superpower?

A superpower isn’t about having extraordinary abilities—it’s about recognizing your unique strengths, experiences, and passions. It could be something you’ve mastered after overcoming a challenge or something others often praise you for—or even one you were teased about as a kid.

"Your superpower is your gift to the world, and it’s also the key to building a business that feels aligned and impactful."

Reflect on what lights you up, what others admire about you, and even what made you feel different or unique as a child. These clues can guide you toward discovering your superpower.

Overcoming the “Salesy” Trap

Many female entrepreneurs tell me they don’t want to feel pushy or salesy in their businesses. They want to serve their customers authentically but often feel stuck in ineffective strategies like over-posting on social media or hustling for sales.

After 18 years of coaching women entrepreneurs, I’ve developed systems and language tools to help you shift from selling to serving.

"It’s about creating a business where your customers love you, you’re proud of what you offer, and you achieve your goals without constant hustle."

Slow Down to Speed Up

When life feels overwhelming, it’s tempting to push harder. But often, the best way forward is to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what brings you joy.

"Feeling good is the most important thing you can do for your business. It’s counterintuitive, but when you slow down, everything flows more easily." 

By focusing on gratitude, joy, and alignment, you create a space for creativity and productivity to thrive.

Journal Prompts to Uncover Your Strengths

Here are some prompts to help you dig deeper into your superpower:

1. What did I get teased about as a kid?
2. What hobby or activity lights me up?
3. What do people often tell me I’m good at?
4. What brings me joy outside of work, and how can I bring that energy into my business?
5. How can I use my superpower to serve others?

Take some time to reflect on these questions, and you might uncover hidden strengths and passions that can shape your business and life.

Practical Ways to Cultivate Joy

Joy fuels productivity and creativity. Here are some ways to infuse your day with happiness:

• Spend time in nature or engage in a favorite hobby.
• Take short breaks to breathe, move, or meditate.
• Celebrate small wins and practice daily gratitude.

"When you’re in gratitude, it’s hard to stay overwhelmed. Gratitude moves you into happiness, hope, and action." 

Closing Thoughts: Embrace Your Brilliance

Your superpower is what sets you apart and gives you the ability to create a life and business you love. By slowing down, finding joy, and embracing your strengths, you’ll move closer to your dreams with purpose and ease.
