How to turn challenges into opportunities
|
Hello Reader, This past week was a busy one at work. I was facilitating a 2-day in-person leadership workshop. It meant I didn't have as much time as I would have liked for my side business building activities. Everyone has days like these - often, these are the normal days - you get through 1 out of 5 items on your to-do list. My previous self would've felt irritated and annoyed because she couldn't do the things she wanted to do for her business. She would have felt and said 'there's never enough time!'. But the current version of me that's connected to my higher self now knows better. I know when I have days like that, it means I'm learning to:
Instead of getting frustrated and resist when things aren't going my way, I now use them as cues and opportunities to act and feel in the completely opposite way. Because if you want results you've never gotten before, you must do things in a way you've never done before. How about we behave as the version of ourselves we want to be, for example:
Let's start the coming week looking at challenges we encounter as opportunities to behave as the new version of ourselves. Happy Sunday. Sharon P.S. I've been working on my upcoming free course, 6 Secrets to Taking Consistent Action In Your Business Without Burning Out [Working Title]. CLICK HERE to receive it when it's available. |

Here’s what I did instead: I carved out just 1 focused hour a day in the margins of mom-life. I stopped waiting for the 'perfect time' or 3-hour blocks that never...
Hi Reader, It's August 2025 - the start of my 12-month experiment to lean into and do what scares me but that I know it's the right thing for me to do. Not anyone else, just me. Beginning with sharing about a topic that I used to hide from others, afraid what they would think of me if they found out. This week’s podcast is one of the most personal I’ve recorded. It’s about fear. And how it sneaks into our decisions when we’re building a business and trying to grow into the next version of...
Hi Reader, I used to hide behind quote posts and faceless content. What would my corporate colleagues think if they saw me talking about my side hustle? What if my boss questioned my commitment? What if other moms judged me for 'trying to do it all'? So I stayed invisible. Safe updates only. No personal stories. No mention of my business. But here's what I realized: My fear of judgment was keeping me from helping the working mom scrolling at 11 PM, feeling completely trapped between a job...
