Dear ,

I like words, sometimes I use a lot of them and also, not today.

Today it's just the brass tacks.

Here are three pieces of coaching that are following me around this week that you need to hear.

• You don't have to do it whatever what you think you 'should' or that someone else is doing it. The only right way is your way and the hardest part of success in business is having the nerve to go ahead and do just that.

The TL;DR here is just go do you. Please. To hell with the other ways. If it doesn't feel like you? Skip it. If it sounds fun? Do it. That's it.

• Doing more doesn't get us further faster - more doesn't always equal more, in fact, mostly it doesn't.

I know. It seems like doing more should make more. It's what we believe as a culture. And also it's such bullshit.

Ask yourself: if you could only do 3 business task on any given day, and you only got 90 minutes to do them - what would you do and why?

Those are likely the only things that matter. Do those, and everything else is like sprinkles on ice cream - wonderful, and also extra.

• Having someone to talk to about your work who also doesn't have your emotional attachment to your work and the baggage associated saves you time, energy, money, and drama.

Maybe it's a coach. Maybe it's a friend. Maybe it's a colleague. Maybe it's a neighbor. Maybe it's a partner.

Doesn't matter who it is, but if you are the only one you are talking to about your business on the regular that's part of why things aren't going to plan.

Find someone to talk to. Out loud. Regularly. Decide to trust yourself and them. We all need coaching because we all have human thoughts and do wacky human things. It's fine, it's normal, and also, things are so much easier when it's not just you.

That's it. Brass tacks :)

Which one is for you today?

Love,

Sara
