"For your review" I said in my email.
.
This client and I have been working together for nearly 2 years.
.
We're not just client and service provider. We're friends.
.
This morning I sent her a file... for her review.
.
She pointed out that it was hilarious I still sounded so corporate in my emails.
.
I laughed that my next one would say "Here's the shit you asked for."
.
And it will. Because that's more me.
.
And she'll love it...because offline that's the relationship we have.
.
And yet...my emails...
.
Despite the work I've done, that corporate programming still finds adorable ways to pop up when I least expect it...or when I'm consciously thinking about it least.
.
I dismiss these urges as "proper", or "politeness", or just plain "professional behaviour".
.
But I don't TALK this way.
.
And they're not. That's the whole point.
.
Per your request...
.
At your earliest convenience...
.
For your review...
.
These phrases don't make me any more or less professional or credible...but they DO make me feel less myself. My TRUE self.
.
Despite the awareness, despite the work...it still shows up from time to time.
.
But I look back and see how far I've also come and THAT is what gives me hope. THAT is what reminds me how much more myself I am than I ever used to be.
.
All progress is good progress.
.
But you can't make progress until you start.
.
1:1 spots to work with me on your own recovery are now open.
.
If you desire to recover from the toxicity of your corporate life, let's chat. Drop me a DM to learn more about what our work can look like.
.
At your earliest convenience. (Kidding)
.
Whenever you're ready, love.

Sometimes the thing that holds you back in busines

Sometimes the thing that holds you back in business is the very experience that made your business possible in the first place.

Not sure what I mean?

Corporate wired us all a very specific way...

We were defined by our roles and our resumes.

We weren't allowed to make decisions without committee.

We were kept playing small because THEY told us what our limits were.

So we amassed this INCREDIBLE knowledge and experience...and came into business to finally have the freedom to express it.

And that freedom suddenly becomes a gaping void... overwhelming...because we don't know what to do with it...how to channel all that experience and expertise in a way that serves us...

It's just the tip of the iceberg of the laundry list of blocks and beliefs we all carry with us from the corporate space.

Download my free 13 page workbook to work through the top 3 to have an immediate impact on your business.

And then come hang out with me to work through the others.

"I need to be completely dialled into my passion b

"I need to be completely dialled into my passion before I can be successful."

I'm calling BS.

Yes it's important to know what lights you up...it makes it easier to get through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

But we need to also acknowledge and embrace experimentation, trying different things, finding our place, WHILE still putting ourselves out there.

You can't find your passion if you're not looking... and in all my time on this earth I've never known anyone who was born knowing what their passion was.

They found it. Through the journey. And they weren't afraid to say "I don't know yet." And they still managed to have a thriving, successful business.

I'm living proof.

It's taken me nearly 3 years to truly fine tune what lights me up and now that light is ready to shine brighter than it ever has. Because I trusted the process, I invested in myself, my mindset, my toolkit.

And I'm STILL learning more as I go.

So ... are you ready for a little adventure? DM me and let's talk about you.

I'm not talking about necessary innovation.

I'm talking about the feeling you have that in order to make more money you need to keep creating new things.

You don't.

You need to get better at the thing you already do.

Simplicity scales.

Shiny objects do not.

It made my heart sing. Truly.

This client is incredible. She's focused. She knows what she wants. She is still working her corporate job, but has one foot out the door via her business.

And she shows up. Every single day.

And we get along so well and have made so much progress in the last 3 months because I DO get it...

I DO get how hard it can be to make the leap to full time business and leave behind the security of the 9-5.

I DO get how hard it is to squeeze your business into lunch hours and evenings and weekends because you want some sort of stability before you make the leap...

You want to trust you're making the right decision. That you CAN do it.

And I DO know how much of an asset -- and how much of an obstacle -- all that incredible corporate experience can be.

And so, yeah, I get you, friend. I do.

Because I've been there.

As we inch closer to the one-year anniversary of my escape from corporate, I am reminded of all of those challenges...and I'm able to see how far I've come, because I learned to trust.

And I want that for you. It IS possible.

I invite you to DM me and let's talk about what's possible for you...because I'd love for 2022 to be the year you escape corporate, too.

The hardest thing about being a business owner? T

The hardest thing about being a business owner?

Trusting myself.

I dunno why the online business space feels like such a different chicken, and yet here we are.

I mean, I KNOW my 💩 ...

⭐️ I worked for 2 international professional services firms as a project manager.
⭐️ I coached junior executives on the leadership track.
⭐️ I planned international events (I mean I was on the London Olympics consultation team, for goodness sake).
⭐️ I managed teams of up to 50 people.
⭐️ I taught business and entrepreneurship for 13 years at the university / college level.

I KNOW what I'm doing.

And yet when I came into business for myself, everything I was bombarded with made it so hard to TRUST that I knew what I was doing at all.

I felt out of my element at every turn.

I felt overwhelmed by the new terminology.

I felt like I was starting over.

I felt like everything I had accomplished throughout my career had essentially become meaningless when I would see people around me (who didn't necessarily have my experience and expertise) make money.

I second-guessed everything.

I couldn't understand why it was so damn hard to find my place...why everything felt so ... uncomfortable.

It was like I'd slid all the way down the damn ladder I'd worked so f**king hard to climb my whole working life.

I was starting to feel like I wasn't cut out for entrepreneurship at all.

It wasn't until I learned to TRUST myself again...

It wasn't until I learned to recognize and acknowledge my voice...

It wasn't until I did the work of reminding myself who I was, what I believed, and why I was here...WHY I left corporate...

Beyond the money and the time freedom (that's surface level BS, y'all).

It wasn't until I trusted that HOW I wanted to do it COULD work...

That's when everything shifted.

And that's when my business evolved into what I had always dreamed.

And that's when everything felt easier...more like me...

Not some half-a$$ed carbon copy.

And that's when The TRUST (TM) Factor was born.

And THAT is what I'm excited to share with you.

I'll be sharing more over the next few days...but if you'd like to learn more, drop a comment or emoji below...or DM me. ❤️
