Happy Friday!

In my recent chats with entrepreneurs, I've picked up on something...

Many believe there's only one surefire way to success, often influenced by what's floating around online.

Clinging to this idea is a bit like navigating uncharted waters without a clear map.

Why, you might ask?

Because, my friend, you're a powerhouse, and your journey to success is as unique as your fingerprint.

What worked for someone else doesn't automatically become your secret sauce.

That's why you come across so many different opinions on what works out there.

I've seen it play out a lot—entrepreneurs chasing someone else's path, only to end up feeling stuck. Procrastination kicks in, things feel off, and every step seems like a bit much.

Sound familiar?

If it does, it means you're out of alignment.

So, if you want that success you've been dreaming about, it's time to cosy up to —trusting in yourself and cultivating a growth mindset.

These two together will nudge you out of your comfort zone to create exactly what YOU want.

And let me highlight this —learning from others is gold and important to challenge your perspectives and open yourself up to new possibilities.

But the trick is asking yourself if their approach truly feels right to you. If deep down you know this is the right direction to go in.

If not? let it go and focus on your own path.

📈 Tip of the week

As a Business Owner these are a few Growth Mindset habits that would help you get at least 1% closer to your goals

• Allocate resources for structured experiments with clear objectives, metrics, and a timeline to encourage controlled risk-taking and learning.

• Actively seek feedback and input from others within and outside your business for a broader perspective and better-informed decision-making.

• Surround yourself with mentors, advisors, and peers who challenge your perspectives and offer constructive feedback.

• Adopt a "Yet" Mentality: If you find a task daunting, say, "I haven't figured it out yet." This simple shift in language encourages a mindset focused on growth and development rather than fixed limitations.

☕️ New Episode: Balancing Job, Clients, and Growth

A new episode on my podcast was dropped this morning and it's a doozy!

In this episode, I talk about the questions I get asked by people who want to start or have recently started their own business. Such as:

• If one should juggle a job while launching a business?

• Is it better to get for clients before investing in a coach or hiring teammates?

• Should their first business focus be content creation or their offer?

I also discuss and share why it's crucial to give ourselves room to learn, grow, and care for our mental and physical health. Oh, and my personal experiences with the above — we've got that covered too!

Why you should start building an email list in 2023

Capturing attention amid the noise of social media can be a challenge.

But when someone subscribes to your email list, you bypass the noisy social media channels, landing your message directly in their inbox, without any algorithm challenges.

I say YES to that anytime 😍

Regular newsletters serve as friendly reminders about your business, boosting awareness and staying top-of-mind for your customers.

And if that was not enough, with hacking of Social Media accounts on the rise, you want to cover your bases and ensure you always have another way to contact your audience.
