You maybe thinking, Wait, is it Monday already? Nope, you’re not crazy — it is Thursday!
Why the change? Well, let me give you a little background. When I was at Funnel Hacking Live (how many of my sentences start like that?), I heard from a lot of people who advised me on Things I Should Do In My Business. And some of those Things excited me. I got swept away, and I came home full of big ideas.
Sound familiar, Mama?
Here’s the problem: some of those Things were NOT right for me or my business right now. It took me some time to figure that piece out, and I spent a few weeks banging my head against the wall.
I mean, seriously, I spent weeks trying to implement things that didn’t feel right to me, because someone told me I should. Even worse, all the ideas I’d had before the conference, the things I really wanted to do for you in my business — I let other people convince me that I shouldn’t.
Tell me you can relate. If you’ve ever spent time in the network marketing world, you probably know exactly what it feels like to be forced to do something that feels completely wrong. When I found myself feeling the way I did back in the very early days of trying — and failing — to do this work-from-home thing, I knew that something was NOT working.
It took some hard work with my coaches, more than one long-winded conversation with a trusted friend and some pretty deep introspection, but I figured things out. I’m ditching the stuff that the “gurus” say, and I’m doing what feels right in my heart.
Now I’m trusting my gut, because I’ve been listening to you, heard what you need from me, and I want to make it happen for you. These experts I was following…they don’t know you like I do.
Are you forcing yourself to play the game according to someone else’s rules? Are you trying to force yourself into the role of social media manager, because you think your prospective clients want it?
Maybe you’re stressed out about starting an email list in order to find a few clients, because someone in a Facebook ad told you that’s where the money is.
Maybe you’re asking yourself, “How do i know if freelancing is right for me?” Maybe you really want to do this freelancing thing, but you’re surrounded by people telling you that it’s not possible, that’s not how the world works, you can’t possibly earn a real living from home.
What does your gut say, Mama?
What does your heart say?
Don’t force the things that aren’t working. Open yourself up to what does feel right, and everything becomes easy.
There are some pretty exciting things coming up in the Free Mama world!
If you look at the calendar, you’ll see that Mother’s Day is almost here in the United States. You’ll definitely want to keep an eye on your inbox, because Mother’s Day is a BIG DEAL around these parts.
Plus, there’s a brand-spanking-new program in the works. If you’re a Free Mama Movement graduate, or you’ve build a successful freelance business and you’re spending a lot of your time thinking, “This is great, but what’s next?” — well, you’ll want to check this out.
Don’t make your business harder than it has to be. Do the things that are right for you — and see how easy it feels.
P.P.S. Save the date for Monday, May 13! No I’m not talking about the premier of The Bachelorette. This year I decided Mother’s Day deserves two days, so I’ll be hosting a FREE Virtual Party over on my YouTube channel…. there will be presents.
