So you finally decided to start the business you’ve been dreaming of. You sit down, energized, at your computer, ready to make things happen. And suddenly you’re filled with a sense of massive overwhelm. There are so many things to do, and it’s impossible to know where to start first. Does this sound familiar at all? Well, I get it. I’ve been there many times. So in today’s episode, I want to share with you the one thing that’s actually holding you back from gaining momentum at the beginning of your business journey.

 

Here’s what I discuss in this episode:

 

• All you need to do is take a stance in your niche, and be willing to share that stance.
• Sometimes, gaining more education in a subject feels productive, but is actually procrastinating the more important task of sharing your message with your audience.
• Your stance won’t be for everyone, and it shouldn’t be; what you have to offer won’t be for everyone.
• I believe some of our people-pleasing tendencies come from a patriarchal narrative that women should be mindful of everyone’s feelings.
• I also believe that the capitalist mentality that “more is better” contributes to these tendencies.
• To me, the best courses or programs focus on one clearly-defined objective.
• Try this journal prompt: “I believe everyone should __” until you’ve encompassed your business values.
