I recently realized how I have been distracted by all the shiny new programs, coaches, gurus, and the like lately. It was a nice reminder to get back to basics in my business. Today I share with you what that means and invite you to look at your own life to see where you might be able to get back to basics.
What does getting back to basics mean to you? Post in the comments below!
It’s a new year and you finally know what you want to do. Your dreams are big, your inspiration is on fire, but your confidence is a little lacking.
You aren’t quite sure where to start. Maybe you have some doubts about if you have what it takes to begin.
You wonder: Do I have enough money? Time? Experience? Do I even know how to get started? I mean if you had all that wouldn’t you have started already?
Maybe not.
The truth is, very few people have everything they need to accomplish their dreams up front. Sure, you may have an idea of what you need to get started, but what if inspiration is all you need to get started? What if, deciding what you want to do is the only thing you need to begin?
What if that were true?
I have a secret. That is all you need to get started, but chances are you know more than just that.
You have inspiration, ideas, imagination, and you already know some of what is needed to get started and there is something you can do now to move you in the direction of your dreams.
Start where you are.
Don’t wait until you have the money, the time, the steps, the certification, and the perfect plan. Start now, with what you have.
There is always something you can do to get you moving in the right direction and I promise it doesn’t have to be hard or frustrating. It can be fun, exciting, and inspiring. Not sure how to start? Need a little nudge or a creative pow wow?
I can help. I can meet you where you are with all that inspiration in your soul and help you find that first step. That first simple, fun, and exhilarating step that together, we can build on through our coaching together. It’s time for you to respond to the call and make your dreams a reality.

How many times do you find yourself waiting, planning, scheming, and trying to get everything just right before you move forward with a big goal? Something like moving or changing jobs can require a bit of planning in order to do it without a lot of unnecessary stress, but when it comes to your dreams, when is the perfect time to get started?
It has been my experience that there isn’t a specific moment when the clouds part, the sun is shining, and you just know that everything is perfect. Let’s face it, perfect is word that tends to cause us to procrastinate on the things we want most in life because we want it to be just right. And my perfect may not be the same as yours and I would bet that your perfect may not even be all that realistic right?
What I am really talking about here is how you know when it’s time to move forward and take that leap you have dreaming of. For me, it took some visualization, excitement, and inspiration I gained by watching others take that big scary leap. It was then that I realized the perfect time I was waiting for was just a ploy for me to, well keep dreaming. In the dream phase my goal was beautiful, exciting, but not quite real. I mean, I wanted it, but it was more of a figment of my imagination than it was something I could accomplish. When I put the perfection aside and took the leap, I had more inspiration than I knew what to do with and it seemed that things were coming together by my not waiting for the perfect moment.
How could it be?
How could it all come together in the most organic, unplanned, yet almost magical way?
It came together because I always had the potential to accomplish my dreams and one day I just decided to take that first step. I didn’t have to know the whole dance, hell I still don’t know the whole dance, but I’m learning more and more each day. I guarantee you will too.
You see, that perfect time you are waiting for is now. Today. Or Tomorrow. Or whenever you choose for it to be. It’s not about getting specific things lined up so you can take that first step. It’s about taking the first step and trusting that the rest will fall in line.
It’s about believing in yourself and allowing your path to be guided by the magical intuition you have been gifted with because it will always lead the way if you listen.
Do you hear it now? What is it saying?
Whether you make today, tomorrow, or next week your “perfect time”, you will be right because you get to choose. The question is why wait?
