August 1, 2013 I did something I never imagined I’d do.
I started a business.
Not only did I surpass the 1 year mark when most business die a quick, painful death, but I have just hit the 2 year mark and I’m pretty freakin’ proud of myself.
Not because of the money I’ve made, but because I’ve stuck with it and have met, coached, and supported so many amazing souls. Thinking back on it , I’ve learned some pretty amazing lessons that I want to pass along to you.
- You can do more than you think you can. As if the fact that my business is still alive isn’t enough proof, I’ve done way more than I ever thought I could. I’ve run marketing campaigns, group coaching programs, webinars, and coached countless women as I worked to get my message out into the world. If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that this is what I’d be doing…I’d probably laugh in your face. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, know that you can do more than you think.
- Your intuition is an amazing gift…use it! There have been LOTS of moments when I thought other people knew better than me when it came to what I should do next, except they didn’t. We all have an inner GPS that is more powerful, more aware, and better equipped to support us in figuring out the next step than anyone else, we just have to learn to listen to it. This is a muscle I am still working, but I can tell you I am far more tuned in now than I ever was before I started this journey. Listen to your heart, it will never steer you wrong.
- You don’t need to know the ‘how’. As a recovering control freak here, I sometimes forget this detail and I usually regret it. As much as the world tells us we need a plan, an outline or a blueprint for our success, the truth is you really don’t. If you follow your heart and act on the inspiration it provides, that will be enough. The only thing having a blueprint does is make you feel more secure while also cutting you off from the amazing opportunities that are out there for you. The Universe has far more resources available than we do…so why would you cut yourself off from that? Follow the next step and trust that you’ll always figure out what is next because you will.
- Just keep swimming. In moments when I’ve wanted to give up (and there have been plenty), I had friends tell me to “just keep swimming” and as much as I didn’t want to hear it, I knew they were right. Had I quit when I wasn’t booking any new clients for 4 months or when I had lost all confidence in my ability to actually run a successful business, I’d never have made it to the point I am now. Now I know that I not only can make it, but I AM…every single day. Whatever your dream is or what your end vision may be…just keep swimming. Trust your vision and purpose and let it guide you, but never give up…unless of course you no longer feel the passion for what you are doing.
I am in awe of how far I’ve come from the time this was only a dream. In fact, this week I recorded this video reflecting on what prompted me to take the leap in the first place.
Listen, I know that whatever your BIG LEAP is, it feels scary right now. That business, new career, or stepping into your true purpose feels bigger than life right now. The steps to get there feel overwhelming and you aren’t quite sure how to make it all come together. You might even feel a little stuck…
You are not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. The truth is you have the power to create ANY life you desire. I want to help you make your dream life a reality. Not tomorrow, next week, or next year when you feel more prepared.
I want to help you NOW.
