It's easy to start things, it's not easy to continue them...especially when things get hard. If you're in the part of your business (or have been) where things are starting to not make sense, hope is dwindling, and you're losing confidence, you're not alone.
It's a right of passage, and not a sign to stop! Let's keep each other in the game.👆

We often think it's what we say yes to that determines our success, but on the path to your dream life there will be more you end up having to say "no" to, to even get to the thing you start saying "yes" to.
In this episode we break down our experiences with this, our tactics, and the mindset that keeps us focused and aligned.

Oftentimes our elaborate five year plans give us an excuse to hide behind what we "should do" and not take action vs. uncover what we actually desire and get started.
In this episode, we're breaking down the flaws behind this commonly used goal setting strategy and offering an alternative view that's simpler and typically more effective.

Our goals can't serve us when they're misaligned. 🙅
If you're tired of the same old run-around with setting ambitious goals just to give up on them, we have some explanations that might help.
In 2024, we're setting the *right* goals and putting systems in place to actually maintain them (they're like plants, you have to water them).

How many times have you had an idea to create, got excited about it, and let it die due to perfectionism, procrastination, comparison, or failure?
Now imagine if despite all of the above, you kept going? What could you have created if you just kept going and created more?
Today we were joined by YouTube Content Creator (@BetweenFictionAndReality ) and Scriptwriter, Celia Mesa and discuss how to KILL our creativity (as well as output) killers.
Our favorite realization? Coming at your craft with openness and imperfection can often lead to you creating more, learning more, and succeeding more.

What we all want is to be heard and seen. This is why being misunderstood can be the most frustrating feeling, especially for a dreamer/entrepreneur.
But today we're going to break down why feeling misunderstood is actually a good sign because it just means that you haven't found your niche, community, or confidence YET...but you will if you understand the importance of:
1) creating the reality you don't see (inwardly & outward) 2) seizing the opportunity to be the leader/guide of the people who feel the same way and need your uniqueness the most
Don’t see this as a means to stop your journey, but as an opportunity to double down on it and flourish ✨

One thing we tend to forget as adults and dreamers is, there are no mistakes, just unexpected changes in direction.
You either succeed or learn something new (which is a success too).
This episode covers the importance and actual necessity of letting go, messing up, and having FUN to achieve our long-term goals. 🛝🏆
