How To Use Your Dark Side To Maximize Your Content Creation (Shadow Work Guide)
If you are not using your dark side, you are seriously limiting your potential as an entrepreneur.

For context
In 2020 I had -$1000 in my bank account.
I discovered shadow work through a self-mastery mentor.
I applied these hidden principles and started to change as a person.
2 years later, I generated over $2,300,000 in sales in my career.
I’m stating this result because for most of you the money is the measure stick.
I found more joy in the person that I’ve become than the financial “success”.
Anyway, let’s start.

Why is the shadow important?
“Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate” - Carl Jung
Most entrepreneurs are run by their biases.
Recognizing and integrating your shadow helps you make better decisions in your life and business.

What is the shadow?
The shadow is the dark side of your personality.
We unconsciously reject or repress this dark side because they are socially unacceptable.
Could be “negative” traits like aggressiveness or perfectionism.
Now, let's use your dark side for serious growth.
—
Step 1 - Identify your triggers.
Notice when you react strongly.
These emotional responses are clues to your rejected parts.
Ask, "What specific character traits am I reacting to?"
Self-awareness is the gateway to profound transformation.
—
Step 2 - Journal
Write about the traits you dislike most in others.
Often, they mirror parts of your personality that you deny.
For example, you could dislike judgemental people.
But as you reflect, you also tend to judge people to an extent.
Write your discoveries down.
—
Step 3 - Go deep within yourself
Ask yourself why you resonate with certain traits and dislike others.
Your internal dialogue can uncover deeper truths about your dark side.
Set aside time for self-reflection and ask probing questions about your reactions.
—
Step 4 - Integrate your dark side
Recognize that your dark side is a part of who you are.
Use this awareness to adjust your behaviors for maximum growth.
Traits like aggressiveness can be channeled into massive productivity.
All elite performers use their dark side as fuel for growth.
Elon Musk, Michael Jordan and Steve Jobs are prime examples.
