Not just commitment.
But, a no matter what commitment.
24 years ago today, I sold out — body, heart and soul — to my Mister. To be fair, i’d sold out to him (and he to me) about a year prior to this… but 24 years ago today, we made it official and got married.
PLEASE KNOW that this man and I are very different, but we entered into this partnership with a “no matter what” commitment. And today, it is truly — in every way — better than it’s ever been.
The friendship.
The sex.
The partnership.
The intimacy.
The everyday.
But, we have also battled. #OfCourse
We’ve had seasons when it felt too hard and lasted too long. We’ve endured seasons during which I questioned whether it was — or would be — worth it.
Bottom line, sheer determination and commitment kept us together during those dark seasons. Please note that if you’ve gone through a divorce (or two) or going through one now.. I’m not at all assuming YOU did wrong and I did RIGHT. I don’t believe that AT ALL. Every marriage is different.
My point today — perfect for a Monday — is that your BUSINESS will also hit some “dark seasons.” I went through a tough spell in my own business just over 5 years or so ago. Your launch will hit some dry spells. Your business will feel — on some days, or for a season of days — like it’s too much. You may even question things like, “Maybe it’s not worth it… maybe a J-O-B wouldn’t be so bad.”
But hear me NOW.
If a J-O-B were acceptable to you… if that were an “okay” option, you wouldn’t be HERE — with me — and with your Women Who WOW sisters. You’d have found some other part-timing tribe to hang with.
If you’re here, I want to encourage you to dig deep. There are a LOT of similarities between business and marriage, but here’s a HUGE difference:
IN BUSINESS, in YOUR business, I only need ONE PERSON’S absolute, ironclad commitment. YOURS.
So, what have you committed or RE-committed to? DID YOU REALLY COMMIT? Are you STILL committed to that?
Feel free to name and claim what YOU are up to, the goals you’ve set for yourself, the commitments you’ve made. Do it in the comments below. Or message me. I want to peak on on you from time to time to see how it’s going.
But after you name and claim, ask yourself: Am I ALL IN? ReallY? Am I no holds barred committed? Am I “no matter what” committed?
Because I can tell you that your WILD success… that UNREASONABLE success you KNOW is possible, even if it feels a bit out of reach, will REQUIRE you to go ALL in.
And — also — everything will change when you do.
