We're Half Way There...

1.???? This Week's Encouragement:

No, I’m not channeling Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” today. But hey, we’re zooming towards the halfway point of the year! It’s a perfect time to hit pause and take stock.

We can easily get tangled in the hustle of daily life, losing sight of our big goals and purpose. A friend and mentor (Special thank you to Mitch Shepard ) recently hit me with a two-part question that I’ve been mulling over with serious intent: “What do you want now? If you had a magic wand and could have whatever you want, what would it be?” My off the top of my head answer even surprised me!

This is an incredible prompt for this time of year. As I diligently work through these questions, here’s what’s been echoing in my mind:

• Catch & Release: Just because you’ve invested time and effort into something doesn’t mean you can’t pivot to new adventures—be it careers, friendships, relationships, or lifestyles. Sometimes, letting go is the best step forward.
• Permission Granted: Give yourself the green light to dream big. Remove the limitations. Let your imagination roam free. Daydreaming is powerful—our subconscious doesn’t distinguish it from reality.
• Just Say No: Channeling another '80s vibe, dare to say no to what doesn’t align with you. It’s liberating to look at a so-called opportunity and simply say, “No, thank you.”

Take a few minutes today to ponder these questions. I’d love to hear where you land—send me an email!

5. Ask Keita:

Q. Dear Keita,

I have been dabbling with entrepreneurship while working my full-time job. I currently have four active side-hustles that are in various stages of growth. As fate would have it, I was recently let go from my full-time job. I am struggling to figure out where to put my energy… Finding a full-time job, focusing on my businesses, or a combination. I often find myself overwhelmed and doing none of the above. Please help.

Sincerely,

Next Step Nelly

A. Dear Next Step Nelly,

Thank you for sharing. Let's reframe this as an opportunity—you can shape your future. First, ask yourself: What do you truly want? Then, take action. Here's some things to consider.

• Evaluate Your Side-Hustles: Which one has the most potential and brings you joy?
• Set Priorities: Focus on the top one that align with your goals.
• Consider Your Finances: If needed, find work for stability while you grow your business.
• Create a Plan: Develop a clear, actionable plan with manageable steps.

This is your adventure. Take bold steps toward what you want, and trust in your ability to navigate this new chapter.

As always, I’m thrilled to share my musings with you in this edition of Take 5 Tuesday. If you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about your next steps, remember that clarity comes from action.

Don’t back down in the face of uncertainty. It’s time to go all in and make the bold moves that will redefine your future. Schedule a strategy session with me, and together, we’ll map out the steps to not just meet, but exceed your business goals.

Let’s dare to think, be and do bigger.

Let’s get after it.
