Having a plan vs. rolling with inspiration
Oct 05, 2023 6:36 pm
Hey there, ,
I like to have a plan.
If I could have the next 12947589375 or so minutes clearly mapped out for my life and business, I'd be pretty thrilled.
But - sadly - you know and I know that's not how life works - and also not business.
So one of the skills I've had to develop as a business owner (and one I often help coaching clients with) is the dual skill of rolling with inspiration AND balancing being inspired with following the plan.
For me, I've found that it's actually easier for me to have a rough outline of a plan - think like the bullet point summary of a lesson plan - and then to let inspiration handle the rest.
This is much more fluid and in the moment than I ever thought I was capable of, really. And for me? It works.
For many of my clients it's different.
Some write everything ahead and schedule.
Some write nothing ahead. (this is more me right now)
Most are somewhere in between, but generally skewed towards the planned side.
And you?
Your job is to figure out what works for Y O U.
Plan. Don't plan. Plan some. Schedule some. Schedule none. Whatever - it all works. (as long as you do SOMETHING vs. nothing...)
So, why is this what this email is about today?
Well.
Because on Monday I was feeling crazy and made a plan of what I was going to send to you all today - and it wasn't this.
It was this: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncomplicatesuccesswsara/video/7286168708077096235, just in written form.
But I woke up this morning with a chart in my head.
And I decided that mattered more. THIS is what inspiration wanted me to share today. So that's what I'm doing.
Here's the chart:
And here's the reminder inspiration demands I share :)...
YOU are successful. Right now. In every area. In all the ways.
Are you 100% successful?
NO. But 100% anything isn't a thing - it's not real.
Will you be the same % successful tomorrow as today?
Nope. Changes all the time.
THAT'S NORMAL.
Embrace it.
YOU ARE A SUCCESS. People are inspired by YOU.
K?
Good :)
GO FORTH and conquer :)
Much love,
Sara
PS. Come for coaching. Seriously. It makes a huge difference.
Last week I had a client tell me she didn't realize how CLOSE she had been to what she wanted until she started coaching with me.
She'd started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped. She said she felt like it would be like that forever.
And now?
Less than 3 months into coaching she's visible, + 500 YouTube subscribers, creating, out in her community getting connected and sharing and CONFIDENT about what she's doing.
It didn't take years for her to grow - she had everything she needed except someone to help her to keep going when she was scared (do we do other things? Yes. But is the most important thing we're doing together? Yes.).
It's made all the difference. Now she's helping WAY more people, and enjoying the heck out of it.
And this kind of change is here for you too. You too are closer than you think.
