This is really just for me today. But I’m sure some of you need the reminder, too.

That moment, when your toddler asks you to create a masterpiece for her. So you do. And before you can even finish it, she says, “ mama, I want to wash it away! I want to make it disappear!”

Can’t business just be like this sometimes, too?

- Barely make a project live before the client decides they’re on to the next project.
- release something you love only to have it criticized.
- spend hours helping a client to have them decide they’re not ready.

Good thing there are always more clients. More projects. And more fun ideas!

On to the next masterpiece.

Imposter syndrome is real and it leads to things like:
▪ distraction
▪ procrastination
▪ self doubt
▪ feelings of failure/incompetence

And guess what? It’s totally normal.

Take a look at the 4 Stages of Competence model and determine where you’re at. Next time you feel imposter syndrome creeping in, just remember:
You’re learning!
You’re gaining competence.
You’re on your way to mastery.

…. and then you’ll start all over again with a new idea 😆

There is a LOT of content out there. Most of it telling you what you’re doing wrong. Or what is wrong with you.

So pause and take a minute today to tap into what you’re doing RIGHT, please.

Because reading all of that can make you feel like crap pretty quickly. There are many days I turn social media off because it just doesn’t make me FEEL good to scroll and read. What about you?

So just a reminder to anyone who needs to see it today … you’re doing better than you think you are. 💗

NOT knowing what I’m doing has made me an expert over the years.

I posted recently about this personal project I’m working on. We have this really awkward slant on our side yard that we’ve never done anything with. When we recently had our driveway worked on, I ended up with a bunch of extra pavers. I knew just what to do with them. I’m creating a sensory pathway for my daughter. Between my work hours and time with her, I’m doing little chunks at a time usually in the evenings. The only problem is … I have no idea how to build a stair-stepped walkway. Or a sensory pathway.

As I work on this project, it’s reminding me how I approach most projects.

1️⃣ start with an exciting (but big) idea
2️⃣ realize I have no idea what I’m doing
3️⃣ lay it out imperfectly just to get a visual
4️⃣ start to form a plan
5️⃣ do few steps with my new plan to test my theory
6️⃣ realize it’s not quite right and adjust
7️⃣ get into the hard work
8️⃣ refine as I go
9️⃣ let go of my need for perfection

I almost always do things the hard way. Then get better at it as I go and my brain smoothes out the process. But I would have never created anything if I didn’t just try it first.

I’ve used this when creating my:
- courses
- signature course
- workshops
- blogs
- creative projects for my daughter
- house projects

JUST TRYING (with no idea what I’m doing) has changed my life over the years. Just write down an outline and see what happens. What could you create by just trying?

When it comes to setting up your business, most everything is editable.

Step into the enjoyment of a new idea. Play with it. Don’t take it too seriously.

The joy is in the trial and error. Try your new idea on, explore what it’s meant to be formed into. If you mess up, edit it and try it again.

Testing of a new system doesn’t have to be stressful - it’s just that … a test. Enjoy the experience of learning something new.

Inviting clients to check out your new business or try your new offer doesn’t have to be scary or sale-sy. This is an exciting time of growth for you. Invitations or announcements need to be wrapped in a fun, joyful expression of who you are. That’s what the offer is after all … an expression of you and your brilliant ideas.

Way too often we throw out a great idea because it didn’t work the first time. If your people loved the concept, then pause, be honest with yourself about what did and didn’t work. Then, try again. Better this time. Have *more* fun with it. Deliver better results.

I almost always do something the hard way the first few times I put it out in the world. Then, I erase what didn’t work, edit it, and try it again. It’s been working for 20 years! ❤️ Don’t be so hard on yourself. Enjoy the playful process of entrepreneurship.

Moral of the story?

Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

Make it more connected than it probably is.

Book a strategy session if you’ve lost touch with what *does* light you up and how you most love to connect with your clients.

DM me “strategy session” if you know it’s time to realign!

Always working projects and new ideas. Super important to find creativity outside of work. My daughter inspires the best ideas for exercising my creative mind. This is my current evening project. I’ll post the final version in a few weeks when I have it done!

I moved to Charlotte expecting to stay two years-ish and move on. That was in 2003.

I started coaching school just to learn more … no intention of starting a business. That was in 2005.

Sometimes the best life pivots happen just by trying something new. Even if your mindset is that it will be temporary while you “try it on.”

What would happen if you adopted the thought, “let’s just try and see how it goes?”

You always have the opportunity to change your mind if it’s not for you. You don’t have to completely commit to reinventing your life yo reinvent your life 😜 Just take it a step (or a year) at a time. ✨

Pretty much all great mornings start like this. Fresh fruits and veggies in the ground, fountain on, not too hot, just enough sunshine, a slight breeze, first cup of coffee, and a kitty snug in my lap. #feelinggrateful

A startling 74% of online consumers get frustrated with websites that offer content that doesn’t directly relate to their needs and interests.

74%!!!

You don’t have to narrow down forever but wow can you set a strong foundation of clients flowing in if you’re willing to do this in the beginning!

One of my favorite quotes:

“You are being presented with a choice: evolve or remain. If you choose to remain unchanged, you will be presented with the same challenges, the same routine, the same storms, the same situations, until you learn from them, until you love yourself enough to say ‘no more,’ until you choose change. If you choose to evolve, you will connect with the strength within you, you will explore what lies outside the comfort zone, you will awaken to love, you will become, you will be. You have everything you need. Choose to evolve. Choose love.“

What are you choosing today?

Just a follow up to two posts ago. All is right in the world again.

Good things today:
✨ admin day success - lots of work accomplished
✨ snuggly kid is back
✨ outside time playing
✨ chalk drawing
✨ happy clapping over the dinner I made (she’s my kid complete with happy food dances)
✨ full belly giggles

Real life moments
✨ spilled half a wand of bubbles on myself
✨ exploded a bottle of ranch on myself at dinner
✨ stacked all the cleanTupperware to put away … turned around and it all tumbled to the floor
✨ changed my kids clothes three times since 3p

Ahh the messy and the joy of life. Constantly finding balance. Heart usually pretty darn full of love. Spills and messes and all. My Mom always said life isn’t fun unless it’s messy.

✨ NEW ✨
PODCAST EPISODE

@divinelysensitive recently had me as a guest on her podcast. We had the best chat about how our intuition has played a major role in shaping our business and personal lives. During our conversation I'll let you in on a little secret - the one crucial thing that opened up my intuition. Heather and I also delve into some deep discussions about fear and motivation, topics that I believe are essential for everyone who wants to succeed in life.

Have a listen and subscribe to this beautiful woman’s podcast if you’d like to journey deeper into your intuition. She helps women feel seen, heard and understood in such a rich way.

Thank you, Heather, for having me on!

This is the real life face of a momma whose kid is determined to test every limit today. Complete meltdowns mixed with negative level listening in between uncharacteristically (for today) sweet kisses and snuggles. My logical brain is about to explode. #kidlife #arentnapssupposedtohelp #momlife #whatishappening
