Hi Reader, Have you read "The War of Art" written by Steven Pressfield? In the book he says, “The more important a call or action to our soul's evolution, the more resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” I think about this a lot because it’s something I hear from so many folks I talk to. They’re excited about starting a new business, but then there’s always a “but” that follows. Does this ring a bell for you?
These worries often feel like huge stop signs. But guess what? They're actually pretty good signs that you're onto something big. They mean you're stepping up, out of your comfy old routine—right where the magic of growth happens. Let’s Talk About Resistance and How to Kick It to the Curb... 🙊 Perfectionism... 🙉 Analysis Paralysis... 🙈 Overwhelm from Big Dreams... Here Are a Few Practical Ways to Beat Resistance and Get Going: Pilot Your Idea: Launch a simple version of your service or product. Think of it as a test run. What’s the minimum you need to start getting feedback? That’s your starting point. Find Your Community: Doing this alone can get tough. Find a few people who get what you’re trying to do. They can be cheerleaders, sounding boards, or just there to remind you why you started on the tough days. Celebrate the Little Victories: Every little success is a step forward. Sold your first product? That's a win. Got positive feedback? Another win. These moments build momentum and show you’re on the right path. Think You’re Ready to Dive In?

So many of the amazing people I work with are multi-talented and could easily do a bunch of different things. But that’s exactly where the challenge comes in, right? With all those options, how do you choose the one that really fits? It can be...
One of the hardest parts of leaving the corporate world is figuring out how to repurpose your skills into a business that actually works. That’s exactly where my client Messina was not too long ago. After years in corporate life, she had all these skills and experiences but was stuck trying to figure out how to use them in a way that aligned with her purpose.
