Hello Reader, I've noticed this trend recently. A lot of successful people are saying the same thing. The single most important ingredient to their success has been
They've said it in different ways, like
But they all point to this singular spirit of having patience. Patience to do the work. Yet in our modern life, instant gratification is the norm. We expect things to move faster and faster. And so we end up feeling more and more frustrated. We shift from one thing to another when we're impatient for results. It's the same when building the career of our dreams. I have the benefit of hindsight - I'm turning 50 this year. When I look back, the dots connect so obviously. But never during the time I'm on the dot! If you're feeling like things aren't moving, maybe you just need a little patience. It's hard, I know, when you're ambitious, you feel like you're on the clock, and running out of time. But the whole point of it all is the journey, and what you make out of it. Whether you enjoy yourself on this journey, burn yourself out, or worry about it non-stop. Take a moment today to reflect back on the dots in your life and career thus far.
I'll bet you'll see how they connected beautifully, somehow. Talk to you again next week. Sharon P.S. I'm running my biggest-ever live coaching workshop in June, just in time for a mid-year review.

Hi Reader, For years, I thought I only had two choices: Stay in my job for the steady paycheck — but miss out on time with my kids. Or quit to be there for them — and lose financial security my family depends on. Sound familiar? I call this the false choice. Because the truth is, you don’t have to choose between career or kids. 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...
