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!'.

Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...
Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system.
