Chapters
Stop focusing on the big picture and just ask yourself, what is the next move? What's the next move that could make me feel better? And I'm just gonna be here right now and I'm only gonna focus on getting through it. Yes. Maybe I'm not enjoying it, but I'm doing it. I'm making myself feel a little bit better with each thing that I do so that tonight when my head hits the pillow, I'm not overwhelmed, I'm not frustrated. I can just say, you did good today. Welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration, you guys. I just got off of my event with Katrina Scott, Girlfriends in business. And it was so amazing to be in that room with over 60 brilliant, incredible business women entrepreneurs at all different ranges in their business. And to watch all of you connect and find your friends for the next adventure that you're on, the next season that you're in. To be able to leave the room with your next steps is absolutely what brings the most joy to my heart. I can't even tell you what it means to me to be able to facilitate some of those connections and just be among all of you and add value to your life into the next place, places that you're going. And to also be in that room and borrow each other's belief to know what is possible because the woman sitting next to you is showing you what is possible. And when you put yourselves in rooms with possibility, things become possible for you. When you don't put yourself in a room of possibility, it feels impossible. So that's just a remembrance of putting yourself in the room. Even when you feel like you don't belong there yet you do. You do belong there. So, you guys, if you want to be a part of the next one in September, we are half sold out right now and we are going to be launching a again. We just opened it up for a flash sale during the event. So the cart is closed right now again. But if you want to be a part of it, the next time we launch will sell out. We sold out in 72 hours last time. All you have to do is text the word workshop to 310-496-8363. Just text the word Workshop to 310-496-8363. And today I want to talk to you about your next move. You know, your next move is far more important than anything that you have for the day planned or for the month or for the week because your next Move is the only move that actually matters and exists in this moment. And if you are having a hard day, maybe if you feel like me today and you've had some tough stuff to talk about already or you know, you've had some business things kind of hit you and you're, you feel heavy, maybe you have some relationship stuff, some family stuff. And these things affect our energy, they affect us in what we're gonna do next, they affect our productivity. And instead of focusing on, oh, I don't wanna do that, this feels like too much. You're future tripping. You're thinking about everything that is coming in the future and it's robbing you of all of your energy. You're worried about a problem. What's your next move? What's the next thing you're gonna do? Right now after this, I am going to go to the gym and I'm just gonna get through that because I know that that's gonna make me feel better when I feel this way. And then after that I'm going to ask what my next move is and I'm going to sit down and I'm probably going to do some admin work. And then I'm going to say, you just have to string together a bunch of good little mini next moves, get through them, until all of a sudden you've made a decent day. And I know that my head will hit the pillow tonight with a decent day going. It wasn't so bad. There's a lot of days that are like that, that you can still move forward, that just don't feel great, but you're moving and that's the most important thing. So what's your next move? Right now that is a big mover that you could do to make you feel better.

Because a lot of times if you're not feeling good or you're feeling confused, the thing you do need to do is go feel better. So is that call a friend? Is that put something in Your calendar, like, commit to something. You just have to ask yourself every day what the next move is. And yesterday I had to do this too, because I was just. You're. You're tired from an event, right? It goes amazing and you're excited about it, but all of a sudden it hits that you're like, whoa, I was sleep deprived and running on fumes and that was a lot of energy. And so yesterday I got myself to the gym and I didn't want to be there. I wanted to leave. And I just kept having a conversation with myself. I don't allow myself to negotiate in certain things with myself. So while I was there, I said, you're not leaving until that clock has hit an hour. So you can go as slow as you want or as fast as you want, but you are not leaving until that clock has hit an hour. Because everyone else who is creating a life that they love and who is earning their happiness is doing the same damn thing as you right now. And they probably feel the same way. So put in the work because you deserve to earn your happy. That's what this podcast is all about. So I just want to remind you that if you're feeling that way, stop focusing on the big picture and just ask yourself, what is the next move? What's the next move that could make me feel better? And I'm just going to be here right now and I'm only going to focus on getting through it. Yes, maybe I'm not enjoying it, but. But I'm doing it. I'm making myself feel a little bit better with each thing that I do so that tonight when my head hits the pillow, I'm not overwhelmed. I'm not frustrated. I can just say, you did good today. Have grace on yourself. You did good today. You still move forward despite how you felt. It's not about the big needle moving days every single day. It's not about stacking those every day. It's about getting one or two big move needle movers a week. That's it. Just, even if you had one needle mover day and the rest you just move through and you make some progress. So I'm sending you guys so much love, so grateful for you. I want to see you at the next girlfriends in business. It was life changing. You're going to meet your business bestie, you're going to get your questions answered. You're going to go home with your next big step that you are supposed to be focusing on. And that is text the word workshop to 310496-8-36-3. And until next time, earn your happy. Bye everyone.
It.
