Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast! In this episode, Elizabeth is coming to you live from her brand new podcast studio, and she's got a lot to celebrate and a lot to share. This is a behind-the-scenes catch-up episode centered around one powerful question that Elizabeth's mastermind coach introduced her to: what needs to be true in order to achieve your desired outcome? If you've been in a season of waffling on a decision, feeling stuck between what you want and what feels practical, this episode is for you. Elizabeth breaks down how asking this question honestly and specifically led her to finally rent a dedicated workspace, book out a workday structure that protects her mental health, and commit to a 30-day TikTok live challenge, even when it's frustrating and imperfect in the middle. This is also for the business owner who is in the middle of something hard and needs a reminder that the messy middle is still forward motion. Elizabeth talks about what her TikTok live experiment is actually teaching her (20 to 30 new followers a day, and also some real algorithm frustration), a consulting project she said yes to after almost saying no, and why being six months into your best year yet is still a process, not a destination.
