There are so many days I have a laundry list of doubt running through my head. Things like:
What in the world am I doing? Will people think my work is good? Do I have what it takes? Am I making the right decision for my family?
I’m not going to lie, putting yourself out there and taking a chance is hard. It truly is an emotional rollercoaster. A lot of ups and downs. With doubt and fear. Having to be vulnerable. And believing in myself.
On the days when I’m ready to throw in the towel and go find a job. Some little win happens. An email from someone interested in my services. An introduction to someone. A friend calling to encourage me. Or my husband flat out telling me I’m not a quitter.
While I’m building a company, I’m also building a brand. My brand.
To do that requires me knowing my strengths and weaknesses. Identifying what makes me unique. Putting in the time and extra work. Being patient. Taking risks. Trusting that the decisions I’m making are right. And if they aren’t, how to pick up the pieces and learn from them. Gathering some wins and losses along the way. And evolving as I go.
There’s no one path to success. It’s a journey. Filled with discovery and adventure. I’m ready and willing to take the ride. Are you?
Then let’s get started.
