It’s important that we stay very aware of the language we hear ourselves use. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“BIG DREAMS” for example, is a colloquial expression I’d like to nix in the butt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this expression, “BIG” implies: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Abnormal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Difficult ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Crazy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“DREAMS” implies: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Not real⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Unattainable ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> Wishful thinking ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wanting location independence, your own schedule, and to run your own biz are not BIG DREAMS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are possible goals you have EVERY RIGHT TO ACHIEVE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is your vision and you can start right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have awareness when you speak of your goals as “BIG DREAMS” or “lofty” or doused in shame ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
… because you are listening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My ideal times to work are first thing in the morning and after 5 o’clock⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” is a book I took many lessons from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only was the F word dropped more than 100 times in the book (which I stopped giving a f*ck about), but it was PACKED with some of my favorite lessons. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Manson teaches us that our brain does not differentiate between physical pain and psychological pain. Both types of pain are an indication that something happened which caused us discomfort. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, some physical and psychological pain is good! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We learn from moments of pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We learn that we should avoid whatever happened again in the future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Manson says, “just like stubbing our toe teaches us to walk into fewer tables, the emotional pain of rejection or failure teaches us how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we stub our toe, we get a shooting physical pain from our body. Yelling at us for being so spacially unaware, reminding us of the length of our feet. We learn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what about emotional pain? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about the sick twisty feeling in your stomach when you keep going back to the same toxic environment ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about the tears after getting yelled at by your boss? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about the deep frustration we feel when we work overtime without pay? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are these pain reminders not strong enough to teach you and make you change? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My question to you is: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you constantly stubbing your emotional toe? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you’ve started working on your website already… STOP! Creating a website at this stage of your business is doing yourself a HUGE disservice for a few reasons:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ It will take you a long time to create and a lot of people use this as an excuse to put off getting started… “Well my website isn’t done so I can’t start applying yet.”NOPE. We’re not in the business of finding problems, we’re in the business of creating solutions and taking⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Websites are PASSIVE! I don't want any of you building a website and sitting back waiting for people to come find you. Nah uh. Busy clients don’t have the time to google “VA”, find your site on the 5th page, go to your contact site, reach out to you….. You ladies are empowered to go out and find your dream clients like bad-ass bosses! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ To be blunt—it probably won’t look good. And therefore, it won’t make a good first impression. Unless you have a lot of experience creating websites, your first few design/website pieces are going to be a bit sloppy—it’s something that takes a lot of practice and time to get decent at.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Portfolios do not need to live on a website! Attach your work samples to an email! Send them a google drive folder. It works exactly the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ Websites are used as an excuse to not get started. Have you caught yourself saying, “I’ll get started once my website is created”? Then you are using your lack of a website as an excuse to not begin. Stop putting obstacles in front of yourself! You can do this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
