I have a special holiday gift for you, mama.
I’m giving it to you today because my family is celebrating Christmas right now — but I’m well aware that your family might have different traditions. (And I’d actually love to hear about them! We’ve started a thread in the Facebook group right here!)
So, this gift starts with a story, and it’s from one of my favorite Christmas movies, The Santa Clause. If you’ve never seen it, Tim Allen plays a man who accidentally knocks Santa off his roof and has to take over his deliveries for the night, and then somehow gets himself into a contract where he has to become Santa.
SIDE NOTE: ALWAYS READ YOUR CONTRACTS CLOSELY.
Aaaaaanyway, there’s a great line from the move that always gives me chills.
Seeing isn’t believing. Believing is seeing.
Think about when you were a little kid, and you believed — in Santa, in the Tooth Fairy, in any kind of magic. You believed, even when you had no proof. You believed, even before you could see it.
That’s the kind of belief you need to have in your business.
It would be so much easier if you could first see the ending. If you could understand exactly how your business would work, what niche you’d choose, how to land the client, how it all comes together — but that’s not the way it works.
You don’t get to see the finish line when you’re at the start of the race.
You don’t get to see how your business turns out before you’ve started.
You have to believe first, and then you’ll start to see it take shape.
When I was building The Free Mama Movement, my belief would waver on an almost daily basis. And every time that happened, my coach would tell me, I believe in you.
So, mama, this is my special holiday gift to you.
I believe in you. When you waver, go ahead and borrow my belief.
I hope that you and your family have an amazing holiday season, whatever you’re celebrating, and I’m looking forward to ringing in the New Year with you.
