GutLeadership: Are You Building From Resonance — or From Performance?

You can have the revenue.

You can have the clients.

You can even have the “success” everyone else dreams of.

But if it feels wrong in your body?

That’s not success.

That’s performance.

GutLeadership: Resonance or Validation

GutLeadership Resonance vs. Performance — The Real Difference

Resonance is when your business feels like an extension of you.

• Calm, even in growth

• Magnetism without forcing

• A clear “yes” in your body

Performance is when you’re building for the show — not the soul.

• Burnout disguised as ambition

• Hustle to keep the image alive

• Always wondering, “Will this be enough?”

Why “Successful” Businesses Often Feel Wrong

Because they were built to please — not to align.

You followed the formulas.

You did what “works.”

And somewhere along the way, you lost the feeling of home in your own business.

The 4-Question GutScaleur Test

Take a deep breath.Answer these out loud — not just in your head.

1️⃣ Does this feel expansive in my body — or contracted?

2️⃣ Am I doing this because it’s aligned — or because it looks good?

3️⃣ If no one clapped, would I still want it?

4️⃣ Does this decision give me more peace — or more noise?

A Quick Resonance Reset Exercise

1. Think of one big decision or project on your plate right now.

2. Close your eyes. Picture yourself doing it 6 months from now.

3. Notice your body’s response: lighter or heavier?

4. If it’s lighter — move forward. If it’s heavier — adjust until it feels right.

💡 Pro tip: Write down your answers to the 4 GutScaleur questions every Monday morning. It’s your weekly alignment compass.

Why Building From Peace Creates More Growth

When you’re building from resonance:

• You attract the right people without chasing

• You make decisions faster, with less doubt

• You sustain energy instead of burning it out

And that’s the point — you don’t need more likes. You need a business that feels like home.
