This week I've felt a little deflated (and doubting my abilities about projects I'm working on)

It reminded me of a time when I desperately wanted to upgrade my life and business in every way...

💖 More money
💖 Exciting projects
💖 Fun-to-work-with clients + collaborators
💖 And a work schedule with more free time

And I really wasn't sure it was possible back then.

👉 If you're just starting out + looking for your next career or business adventure, you might feel even more uncertain about your future so...

This might help you keep moving forward (or decide your current path isn't for you).

💡 If you hear yourself saying "I don't know if I can do this" regularly...

You're probably looking at the big picture of it all (and it looks enormous, doesn't it?)

It's okay to look at the big picture...some of the time. But I don't recommend it as an everyday thing.

Unless you enjoy feeling overwhelmed and spend your time forcing yourself to slog through it.

I've tested this out for you thoroughly and...it won't help much.

💪 So what will help you?

1️⃣ Start with what lights you up about your project, new career, or plan

👆👆👆 You need this more than you realize (I promise...after learning it the hard way)

If nothing excites you about what you want to do...ummm...you need to find it or adjust your plans until you find it...

2️⃣ Just the feeling of "YES this is for me" alone can keep you moving forward...most of the time.

You have to keep connecting with that feeling (especially if something unexpected happens).

It can drive you around (or straight through) obstacles + lessons along the way.

👉 Even better if you have multiple meaningful reasons to keep moving forward (besides money). Dig deep. The more you have, the more unstoppable you'll be...in the long term.

3️⃣ Focus on the next steps (instead of the big picture)

You can only focus on a few things at a time, so start with what's most important right now.

You've already overwhelmed yourself with the big picture. Take that big picture and break it down into what you need to do now (not in a few weeks or months).

👉 This one was always the hardest for me...and it's why I always promote courses + programs with stellar group coaching included.

It might be what you need to get unstuck and moving forward (after you've done the first 2 steps).

💖 These are my fav programs with the kind of support I love 💖
