If at first, you don’t succeed… then you try again.

Hi!

Last week I shared no personal development nugget so this week I am sharing two gems- Enjoy & you’re welcome in advance xx

The gems in today's newsletter:

? The beauty of embracing failure & lessons from it

?? Why you need to start showing up as YOU in your content

??? If at first, you don’t succeed… then you try again.

In one of my early March newsletter editions, I spoke about embracing failures and what I learned from not getting the Gen. Secretary position I applied for. You can read it here (but only after you’re through with this one ??).

This past Monday elections came up again, this time for the Vice President position. Initially, I was hesitant to apply, because let’s be real although I am learning to embrace failure the sting of the past failure, and mental thoughts of ‘what will people think if i run again and fail’ plagued my head.

However, I reminded myself of my mantra for the quarter and tried again. Luckily this time I got it & this situation reminded me of two important lessons;

1?? Sometimes the universe doesn’t allow something to work out because it’s not the right TIMING + it has better in store for you.

This is a principle & mindset I live by. This is why I get really excited when things aren’t working out and my life is falling apart because I know that things must fall apart to become. Most times you must let go of the old you; habits, mindsets, and attachments, to embrace your new level.

In the moment when sh*t is happening, we often can’t see and understand this but it’s those ‘Thank God it didn’t work out or go as I planned’ realizations that we have after that reveal it to us. This is why you must embrace failure and realize that it’s simply redirecting you to what is meant for you. So, if you failed the first time, that’s amazing try again (& fail some more) because you’re one step closer to your success.

When you have delusional confidence that everything meant for you will find you & something not working out means the universe has better in store for you then embracing failures becomes easier.

2?? Our failures are often based on people’s perception of it than the failure itself.

Ironically this doesn’t matter because no one is thinking about you the way you think. I mean think about it, when last did you think about a friend who failed at something and attach the failure to their identity? The chances of this are pretty low in fact, most times we even feel inspired and impressed that they attempted such a feat. So learn to ignore the lies & noise your brain often tells you about what people will ‘think’ about your failure because in the end it truly doesn’t matter

??? Start showing up as YOU in your content

To be honest, this week's content gem is more of a reminder since I've talked a thousand and one times about the importance of leaning into YOU.

However, I constantly see so many brands using swear words & showing up with so much energy in the name of ‘being energetic’. Trying to show up with a personality that clearly isn’t authentic to them. Putting on a fa?ade because they’re trying to copy and be like the brands they 'think' are winning.

Doing all this and still wondering why content is exhausting.

Not leaning into YOU; your brand's true undiluted energy & personality is a long-run unsustainable tactic. Especially since that, YOU factor is exactly what your dream clients and tribe are craving- true connection and feeling of ‘this brand isn’t like others, they get me’.

So if you want your content to do the dang thing it’s meant to do of moving the needle in your business – making your brand stand out through the noise & attract your tribe. And remember;

You don’t have to show up like you drank a full pack of energy drinks before your content is magnetic & moving your dream client to take action.

You don’t need to hide who you are & mellow down your energy because you’re scared of other’s opinions – Playing it safe because you’re scared of what people will think.

You don’t need to copy that content trend just because it’s what everyone else on the social media streets is doing to succeed – Trying to be & sound like everyone else.

You just need to show up as YOU; with your full undiluted & unique energy. Expressing your brand’s personality, values & beliefs.

And watch the content magic unfold ???

Until next time xx.
