[Podcast] Are you a pro or an amateur?


Reader,

You know how they say if you want success, you have to show up like a pro. They say the difference between pros and amateurs is that pros show up no matter what. Amateurs show up only when they feel like it or when they can.

I'm a pro mom and wife then.

Because I show up for my family no matter what.

  • Sick or well
  • Rain or shine
  • Feel like it or not
  • Exhausted or energized

I was supposed to show up like a pro in my business today by publishing a podcast at 9am. It's what I committed to get done, to myself, for my business.

But I ended up doing mom and wife things because it was needed.

At first, I felt bad - I made it mean I was showing up as an amateur in my business. Being 'inconsistent', breaking my word and the commitment I made to myself.

But then, I realized that's not true.

I was just choosing to show up as a pro wife and mom.

Don't let people or what you hear make you feel guilty or ashamed for making choices that feel right to you. Trust your maternal instincts and intuition. They guide you to do what's best for your situation.

Ironically, that's also the topic of today's podcast. How to let go of expectations so you can enjoy the process of working towards your goals with more joy.

I finally got the podcast out almost 12 hours later.

Reader, Nobody ever has spare cash or time lying around. But when it matters, somehow you find it. Like signing your kids up for activities they want, buying your loved ones a fancy birthday dinner, or in my case, investing in myself and my dream business. Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...
