I have been Goosified!. On our adventures in New Zealand a nice little surprise at Hobbiton. I thought you may like to see this one. Have a great day.

This space is so much fun for me. Thanks for makin it what it is. ONE big question for you... on the YT series i make for yall, about how to build a community from scratch, what do YOU want it to include?

If you're anything like me, you've struggled to pick one business and stick with it. But the ONE thing that allowed me to succeed as an entrepreneur is 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲. Even when things get boring, tedious, or downright frustrating. 😩 Even when it seems impossible. 😡 Even when you really want to quit. ❌ The problem? My ADHD brain craves novelty. Excitement. Adventure. And sticking to one thing meant that at times it was boring, tedious, and overwhelming. The shiny objects got shinier and shinier till they felt impossible to resist. As someone who started five different businesses before I found one I could stick to, I know all too well how hard it is to keep my crazy brain on track. Dropshipping from China. Selling crafts on Etsy. Social media marketing services. Promotional products. I tried a lot of things... 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Sound familiar? 🤔 But finally, after years of trial and error, I figured out a way that worked for me: I built a business that aligns with my passions, is intrinsically motivating, and has enough novelty to keep things interesting over a long period of time. And when things inevitably got difficult or boring? I had a system of accountability to keep me going when my own willpower wasn't strong enough. Someone to say, "Hey, it doesn't look like this aligns with what you said you want. Are you SURE?" Unfortunately, these accountability systems lacked one crucial element for me... Compassion for how my brain works. My business coach was great at saying, "No! Don't do that thing, stick to what you said." But they didn't give me enough flexibility to pivot in a way that's aligned, while still staying the course. And they discredited the power of my ADHD brain with an obsession. That was the secret; I found business success when I got 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙. The more obsessed I became with my goals, the easier it was to hyperfocus on them long enough to make them work. Obsession is how I built a business that earned $30-50k per month passively.
