I know I’m “supposed” to be writing right now — as I do EVERY June 19th — about my marriage. Today, I’ve been married 21 years. By FAR, marrying Chris is the best one-time decision I’ve ever made. Waking up and choosing to KEEP loving him every morning, is BY FAR the best daily decision I’ve ever made. Everyday, he makes me GLAD to be a woman and he is the greatest gift I have on this earth. I am grateful.
But that’s not the message burning a hole in my soul right now, dying to come out.
I want to talk about what some of YOU ponder or even talk to each other about.
How I DO it.
I want you to know that I GET it.
I GET your confusion.
I totally understand the rolling of your eyes when you think of me.
The messy,
girly,
sometimes obtuse,
unprofessional,
infuriatingly bold and unable to be rattled by your opinion
person…
who is achieving at THIS level.
When YOU are perhaps doing all the things,
Using the right tools and software,
following the right people,
choosing the right power color,
doing EVERYTHING “just so”
but…
still keep taking 3 steps forward,
4 steps back..
still eeking out a living,
and sometimes not even.
And you’re doing EVERYTHING right.
So I don’t even resent your gossip or your judgement of me. I DO get it.
But here’s the thing.
Here’s the REAL secret to my “mad genius.”
I NEVER
EVER
say no to myself.
I NEVER
EVER
play devil’s advocate with issues like,
“Am I ready?
Do I have what it takes?
Can I do this?
What if it fails?”
I NEVER
EVER
prosecute myself
or tear myself down
or give ANY credence to ANY thought about me NOT being able to achieve the ideas / visions / goals that are in my head.
I NEVER waste time or effort or thoughts on this stuff.
They NEVER consume my ideas
or my heart
or my passion
or my message.
Perfection is the enemy of profit,
yes..
but it is also the enemy of PASSION.
And passion is what brings in the profit….
Mine is NEVER dulled down
by trying to do things “just right.”
Should you TRY things my way,
the messy way…
the “unprofessional” way,
others will think of you,
will talk about you,
the way you talk about me.
Let them talk.
In fact,
Give them some more content to talk about,
some more CONTEXT on which to ponder your success.
When you question,
doubt,
say no to,
belittle
YOURSELF…
which is what happens when you are trying so desperately to be perfect….
you dull down the VERY THING people want to buy from you.
So, let the entire WORLD say no to you,
to your ideas
to your crazy goals,
but woman….
DO NOT do it for them.
Do NOT say no to yourself.
P.S. If you are not a part of the tribe of driven women called Women Who WOW… Message me. Your time is now. Stop waiting. (Waiting becomes an ugly habit!)
