Imagine for a moment, mama, that you’re driving a U-Haul with all your world belongings across several states as you prepare to move into your new home.
As the miles stretch out before you, you think to yourself about what you’ll do when you reach your destination. You have a plan.
You’ll unpack your office first and get that set up. No matter what time you arrive, you know that those are the boxes you have to get to first. It’s critical.
And then, you pull into the driveway of your new home, and you realize that your entire plan was predicated on furniture deliveries that did not happen.
There are two twin beds that have been delivered, which you and your husband plan to claim (hey, you’re grownups, and back pain is real) — the kids can crash in sleeping bags for a night. They’re young. They have strong bones and healthy muscles and things. They’ll manage.
Except that the kids reject this plan outright, and instead you and your daughters somehow cram into these beds, and no one sleeps at all.
By the next morning, you realize that The Great Plan is not going to happen, but it’s all going to be okay. So what happens when when your plan falls apart?
Your office will be the last space to be unpacked and set up properly, but the beds are arriving, and everyone will sleep in their own rooms.
The den is set up — it even has a rug.
So, yeah, things aren’t happening the way you thought they would, or the way you planned, but they’re happening.
It still feels hard, but there’s excitement and motivation driving you.
Imagine for a moment, mama, that you’re building a business.
As the possibilities stretch out before you, you think to yourself about what you’ll do each day when you sit down to work. You have a plan.
You’ll get your website up and running. That’s what you have to do first. It’s critical.
And then, you start digging into this whole “start a business” thing, and you realize that your entire plan was predicated on “if you build it, they will come,” which is NOT going to work.
You regroup. You focus on building connections. On income-producing activities. You take your steps, one at a time, even when you are not sure there even IS a path to follow.
Each day, you do one small thing — or more — to move your business forward.
So, yeah, things aren’t happening the way you thought they would, or the way you planned, but they’re happening. That’s what you do when your plan falls apart – you keep going!
It still feels hard, but there’s excitement and motivation driving you.
It’s going to be a wild ride, mama, and I’m SO EXCITED to be on it with you.
