"Oh no, I forgot to lose a stone!" Stop being a perfectionist and start before you’re ready

This time last week I was beating myself up because I’d failed to lose the stone I meant to before leading my Rewilding retreat.

I’d been picturing myself in a swanky new bikini, leading a group of courageous women into the icy waters of Lake Ullswater.

“Wow, Claire” they’d say in my head, “How do you manage to run a business and stay so fit?!”

Sadly the reality did not match the image in my head.

I’m 42 on Monday, I’ve had 3 kids, I’m still a bit festively plump from the Christmas cheese board.

And I don’t look like the bronzed goddesses you see wild swimming on Instagram.

What I do know however, is how to start before I feel ready.

Starting before I feel ready has enabled me to:

·???????? Launch a business on maternity leave

·???????? Hire my first members of staff

·???????? Pitch and win dream clients

·???????? Launch programmes and courses

·???????? Put my hand up for opportunities in rooms I have no business being in

·???????? Launch a retreat arm to my business

·???????? Run marathons, win dance-offs on stage, walk on fire and much more

I often say that being an entrepreneur is like jumping off a cliff and hoping that you’ll grow wings on the way down.

You’ve just got to learn to back yourself, and trust you’ll figure it out.

I’ve got an invitation for you this week.

I’ve been a busy bee behind the scenes, filming my signature course, Audacity: Limitless You Academy, so it’s available on an on-demand basis.

It’s a proven framework to authentic self-mastery.

Right now I am looking for a small number of beta testers – who will get LIFETIME access to the course and to our community, for an investment of just ￡997 + vat.

(And of course there’s a payment plan available).

If this sounds like it might be your vibe, check out further details here.

And whether you are interested in Audacity or not, I have a challenge for you:

What’s a dream or a goal you can start to take action on?

Stop waiting for everything to be perfect, and the stars to align, and just take messy, brave imperfect action.

That’s all from me, have a great weekend,

Claire
