On the Journey…

Rather than the Destination

{October 18, 2022}

- 2 Ideas from others -

“One cannot know what one is leading into. Transitions are as important as achievements.

- Louis Horst
American composer, pianist, and musical director for acclaimed choreographer Martha Graham

”Practice makes progress.”

- Jim Kwik
American author, entrepreneur, business coach, brain learning expert

- 2 Coaching Prompts -

As entrepreneurs, we bear the burden of having to be mindful of both the micro and macro aspects our business. Constantly zooming in on the day-to-day tasks and zooming out on the business plan and trajectory as a whole.

I’d like to unpack the first quote, real quick. This quote is taken from the context of a conversation between a musical director and his choreographer (Martha Graham). Martha was known for her genius and also her ability to doubt and self-sabotage.

Horst had told her that her 6th production could not have been birthed without the 5th. And so too, her 8th could not be produced without the 7th.

Friends, the goal should always be growth over perfection. And done is better perfect.

Remember, the goal of these prompts is to simply increase self-awareness to help you improve. Ben Franklin said, “Search others for their virtues. Thyself, for thy vices.”

With that, dear one, here are your prompts:

  • What holds you back from completing projects/tasks? As you are on this journey of self-awareness, get honest with yourself: What excuses are you giving?

  • In what ways do you self-sabotage? Sit with this one. Hold space for yourself with non-judgement and grace.

- 2 Affirmations -

  • Practice makes P R O G R E S S.

  • The journey is just as important as the destination.

Drink water AS SOON as you wake upI recently added this to my morning routine, and it’s been a game changer. Drinking water as soon as you wake up immediately wakes up your bodily systems and hydrates your cells so that it operates at maximum capacity.

Seeds of Growth Podcast So, I did a thing. Last month I achieved a personal goal of launching a podcast. The idea has been on my heart and I finally presented it to the world. It’s a mindset podcast for entrepreneurs, new real estate agents and high achievers. (#onbrand) Take a listen and tell me what you think!
