Don't do what I did...

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader

The hardest thing I ever learned...was to welcome imperfection - especially in my career.

I'll never forget what a very good friend told me many years ago - and it's stuck with me and helped me...

And right now you might need a reminder like I did.

Here's what she said when I asked her advice about my business at the time:

We've been friends for a long time, so I'm not going to pull any punches and tell you how I really feel, ok?

(Yeah...of course, she's going to rip me to shreds, right?)

I want you to give yourself a fricking break and recognize how much you've accomplished.

You don't need to be perfect to be outstanding.

​You're doing a fantastic job and I want you to take a moment and just sit with that."

If you're holding yourself to an impossible level of perfection, please stop.

Right now people around the world are convincing themselves that the goals, plans, and dreams they made 4 to 6 weeks ago are never going to happen.

And it's a lie.

Yeah, your plans will change.

Does anything ever go according to plan? I've never seen that happen...

But you?

You are capable...and this journey you're on...can teach you valuable lessons.

Keep moving forward - even slowly...

How do you feel about setting goals? I used to hate them because I felt like a total failure every time I missed them - which happens when you're learning a new skill or starting a new business, right? Maybe you're like me and it gets harder to set a new goal because "what's the use?!?" "Is this ever going to get better?" Thankfully I've had a ton of coaching on this + so many compassionate professionals showing me how it's done ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 👉 They publicly set goals & owned up to what happened...

Ever sit in front of your computer...or in front of your future...thinking "GAAH! C'mon brain! Why are you so (frustrating personal flaw driving you nuts)! We gotta figure this out so I can (fill in that thing that really matters to you)! ⛔ Your brain could be going in a million different directions trying to figure out how you could earn a buck or ⛔ You've stuck or lost or totally confused as you try to find your way with not enough help after you've kinda picked a direction Been there.

Hi Reader Were you surprised by my last email? Yeah, I've got personal war stories - friends, family, my own...⬇️ Re-reviewing the Fully Booked VA program got me thinking about when I've needed support in my life the most (and what it's done for me) I've got a bad self-doubt habit whenever I do something really new And sometimes it's just bigger than me and I need someone on the outside who can see through my crap - with the skills to kindly kick my butt and get me moving forward again...
