It's not easy creating consistent weekly content in your business.  You know the benefits but sometimes it all gets a bit much.  Surprisingly, I thought it would all be about having a good process and that is part of it, trust me!  But equally were some of the other lessons that I learned along the way that now make weekly content creation so much easier.  

I am so lucky that I know so many amazing business owners and now I have a podcast I get to share them with you too.  And today I have a real treat, as multi-award winning business coach Ian Dickson is on the show to reflect with me on the last year and casting an optimistic vision for the coming year.  This is a fantastic episode that will surely get you excited about what you can achieve as we move out of this global crisis.

Lack of time is not often the reason you aren't getting everything done that you need to in your business.   It's more likely that we forget that the most important thing to manage is ourselves, because we are the ones doing the work.  In today's episode we're talking about managing our capacity... capacity for creativity, our emotional capacity, our focus and our capacity for self-discipline.  These are what will truly help us get more productive and achieve more of what will help us get to our goals.

So fear has a job to do.  It's job is to keep you safe.  And you have a job to do... achieve your dreams, reach your goals and make things happen in your solo business.  Very often those two jobs are fighting against each other, which generally leads to us feeling demotivated, tired and that we are in a constant battle.  In today's episode, I'm taking a look at a process I use in my business to let fear keep me safe, while I keep making progress.
