The six letter dirty word........action

Okay. Maybe it's not a dirty word but it sure feels like something I'd rather not do.....you too? Not because of being lazy or not knowing what needs to be done but because of the fear surrounding it.

Let's say you have this great big goal and you are lit up inside out from it! You are making plans, writing out your list of to do's, maybe even ticking a few off. You're doing it!! And then the excitement isn't shared by others the way you thought it would be or you haven't sold anything or no one is reading the blog or booking the class. Enter a spiral so big it might just be classified as a tornado. It comes in fast and before you can even consider another response you are swept up in negative self talk, fear and are ready to give up.

But alas Sis you just need action to keep propelling your forward. Action like going live on social media to talk about your project. Creating flyers or graphics in Canva to share. Inviting others to your website. Asking friends to share your project with their followers. You know what you need to do you just got sidetracked because the voice of the naysayer in your head was louder than your inner knowing.

Do you know how many posts/reels/lives (we are going to focus on social media here) you need to "your people" to see before they are ready to join you? SEVEN!! Say what?!? Seriously this number blew my mind but if you think about it people are scrolling social media on breaks throughout their day and might think, "oh my gosh I want to join that class or buy that journal" and then realize break is over and think "I'll find it later". But if you only shared it on your stories how the heck are they going to find it later? Or for that matter remember they wanted it? Remember the world is throwing a hundred different things our way most of the time and our attention span is super short (think gnat) as a result. Also, side note - how do they know wha the attention span of a gnat is?. I digress.

So this is my nudge, my "you've got this" speech, my "I see you" notification.......chase the dreams and goals. Just remember to step back and take stock of your action to be sure it's moving you forward. And if it's not - girl adjust and go!!! You've got this. We've got this. I'm rooting for you and I cannot wait to see your light shine. <3.
