Empty The Cup

In order for something new to come, something old must go.

And that old can sometimes mean letting go of what you know until now.

Empty the cup and start from the beginning.

It's not easy to do but at the moment it's the only way that something blocked can be brought back to movement.

You must spill the old tea and pour in a new one.

Then things look different.

I've been letting go of more and more recently. I've said yes to too many things which means I get none of it done : / I need to make more time for deep work. I will focus on less to get more done!

Every yes is a no to something else. Something already promised is getting put off to make room for something new.

I am getting better at this. But I'm also creating space by...

• Cutting back all my team meetings from 60 min to 45. That'll save me an hour right there : )
• I've gotten very good at tracking and staying focused on my top 3 priorities with my weekly planner
• I need to make it harder for me to start new projects. There's a low barrier to chase something new and that's harmful to me. I'm working on a solution for this now

If I look at where I'm emptying my cup, it's my brand. That's where I'm letting go of everything I've built for the past 5 years. Only the death of SIX3MEDIA can bring life to something new.

Right now there's a seed of an idea that I need to nurture so I'm not ready to share it publicly yet, but this decision feels like the 3rd step in this journey.

The third fork in the road on the path to my million-dollar business when I look back at this journey with hindsight.

Writing that down just now really sealed the deal for me.

Words are magic. That's why we call it spelling : )

I am so happy and grateful to have my answer <3 And that's why I write these every night. Even, and especially, when I don't want to!

Here's to starting over!
