LLH Newsletter: How I knew when to reinvent to elevate my business

My hands were gripping the wheel. A little teary eyed looking out a somewhat dirty windshield as my mind raced with uncertainty…..but my little Z3 coupe was packed to the brim. I already committed.?

Said goodbye to my agent + manager + put 15 years of a successful career behind me, I closed my apartment + sold half my shit.?

It was a new path. I was literally on a highway of open road full of unknown possibilities.?

What if it doesn't work out. I feel like I’m jumping off the cliff + don’t know where I will land. What if I fail.

And then there’s another part of me saying, “I’m so excited, the world is my playground to create what I want.”

The past + the future were with me at the same time. And they collide in a moment of excitement + dread.?

That inner conflict is how I KNEW IT’S TIME TO REINVENT.

Because it is the space between the obstacles that can leave you paralyzed in the unknown + the access to unlimited creativity.?

It was only 1 year before that I couldn’t get hired. There was a huge change in my industry.?

The energy in business seemed to dry up. Opportunities don’t come together as easily. It was the first time I realized I wasn’t in control of my own success.

I began questioning yourself more often

What do I stand for now?

Where do I want to put my creativity, share my gifts, now?

Am I aligned with where I see myself making a difference in the world?

What feels exciting right now?

I realized that I couldn't hold onto past expectations. Yes, letting go is really hard. But always remember, this is YOUR life, the only one who can make changes in the present is you. Don’t be a prisoner of your past. It’s only there to teach you how to become the best version of yourself, now. What do you want to commit to that’s different this time??

? Look at what you are holding onto that doesn't fit your future vision.?

? Train your mind to focus on what you want vs what you don’t want.

? Plan for personal growth, what skills need to be learned + improved to get you to the next level.

? Take your expertise + turn it into an online business so you’ll always have the freedom + control over your own future.?

A mentor once told me, “it’s never about taking the first step that leads to your success, because you still have one foot in + one foot out. It’s always the second step you take that proves you’re committed”.
