Y’all, I just wanted to share because I feel so stressed out right now. I feel so much internal pressure to be somewhere I’m not. For one, I’m a huge planner, so in my mind, I want to get things sorted before I just start doing stuff. I want to have systems in place. I want to be clear about what I’m selling. I want to have a website and social media. I don’t want to spend a ton of money learning through failure. I want to think things through. I mean, obviously I will fail and learn through that, but there are parts of that process I can avoid, and if I can avoid them, I want to. For example, I know I need an effective booking process. I could just attract clients and look silly with my booking process, and that’s how I discover what I need. Or I can think through what I would want the process to look like as a client and build that before finding my clients. Stuff like that. I don’t want to learn through unnecessary trial and error. I want to build a strong foundation and then build my house on it. But this takes time and intentionality, and that stops me from actually booking events and making money. Second, I feel stressed because I feel like I need money I don’t have. I have an emergency savings fund I could pull from, but I’m struggling with the balance of: Is it wise to take from that when my work life is so unstable? Or is that what betting on myself looks like, and there’s wisdom in that choice? Then there’s the comparison and mental back-and-forth. I see this small event company I used to work for, and the thing I compare the most is the fact that she’s actively booking jobs and doing the thing. But then again, she is the MAIN motivation for me to build systems the way I want to. Working for her made me see so many issues in the way she built things by just jumping off the cliff that I want to avoid because they’re super hard to change once you’re already in the trenches. So it’s this mental back-and-forth between: Am I planning too much and not just doing? Or am I right where I should be and just need to be patient?

Hey Ladies! We’re so glad you’re here. Before you introduce yourself, please take a few minutes to head over to the Classroom tab and click on “Welcome To The Community” to watch the Welcome Video. It will help you understand how this community works, what you can expect, and how to get the most out of it. Once you’ve watched the video, come back here and introduce yourself. This community is built on engagement, support, and shared wisdom. The more we show up, the more meaningful this space becomes for everyone.❤️ Please share: 1️⃣ Your preferred name 2️⃣ Where you’re located 3️⃣ What kind of business, platform, or offer you’re building 4️⃣ What stage you’re currently in(idea stage, building, growing, pivoting, rebuilding, refining, etc.) 5️⃣ Who you feel called to serve 6️⃣ What kind of support, clarity, or accountability you need most right now For fun: Rather than or in addition to words, add a GIF to your post that best captures how this season feels. After you post, take a moment to read a few other introductions and welcome someone else in. That’s how we begin building real community here. We can’t wait to get to know you and what you’re building. 👏🏽

Quick check-in for everyone this week. We've noticed that a few of you have felt stuck on the question “Who do I serve?” and we want to take the pressure off that a bit. You don’t need the perfect answer right now. What you need is a working direction so you can keep building. Clarity often develops as you start creating, testing, and interacting with real people. So today’s question is simple: Who are you choosing to serve for now so you can keep moving forward? Just a starting point. For example: • Couples looking for meaningful ways to celebrate special moments • Small business owners who need help navigating technology • Women who want to feel more confident and less stressed about money • Entrepreneurs who want to start assisted living facilities • Founders who want to start nonprofits Drop two things below: 1️⃣ What you are building 2️⃣ The working group you are choosing to serve We can refine later. Right now, we just need direction so you can continue building.

Hey ladies 🩷✨ I hope you are staying warm. I wanted to take a moment to check in and share where we are in the journey. This was originally planned as Week 5, but with the delays from the storm and everything that came with it, we’re going to use this week as a catch up and integration week. That’s intentional, not a setback. If you’re a little behind, this is your window to: • Finish watching the lessons • Revisit the participant guides • Sit with what God has already been revealing • Begin taking small, practical steps forward Because next week, we shift gears. We’ll begin the hands on process of building what God has placed in your hands. From here on out, we’ll be moving with the intention of helping you have something tangible by the end of March, not just clarity, but action. I’ll also be going live this week to help you: • Talk through questions or hurdles • Process what you’re sensing God is leading you toward • Clarify next steps so you’re not stuck or overthinking More details on that coming soon. I want to say this clearly and lovingly: This season is not about consuming more information. It’s about responding to what you’ve already received. Watch the lessons. Do the reflections. Then take action, even if it feels small. And finally, pause and acknowledge this: You’ve shown up. You’ve pressed in. You’ve made it through the first five weeks of the year with intention. That matters more than you think. Keep going. 💪🏾

I need to be honest. I’ve restarted this challenge more times than I’d like to admit 🫣 Between unexpected school closures, travel, preparing to move in a month, creating curriculum for this community and working behind the scenes to start building my course… every few days I’ve had to start over. Consistency is something I crave. But lately? It hasn’t felt easy. Then I sensed a simple correction from the Holy Spirit: Stick to the schedule! Don’t let one task hijack the whole day. If something is taking too long, pause it and move on to what was assigned to that time block. Because what keeps derailing me isn’t lack of desire. It’s letting one thing consume space that belonged to something else. So I tried it. And guess what? I’ve been meaning to post this message since last week… and it finally got done.😆 Small obedience. Small structure. Small wins. If you’ve had to restart… you’re not alone. But maybe the lesson isn’t “try harder.” Maybe it’s “protect the structure.” Who else has been struggling with consistency lately? What’s been pulling you off track?
