Day 1 – Expectation Reset When I entered the online space in 2023, I truly believed it would move faster. I thought if I built it right, the money would follow quickly. It didn’t. I’ve built behind the scenes. Restarted more than once. Shifted directions. Pulled back when I should’ve pushed forward. If I’m honest, I’m tired of thinking about the business all day and not seeing the financial payoff yet. I feel like I “should” be further by now. And when results are quiet, my mind gets loud. I overanalyze my videos. I pick apart my appearance. I critique my voice. I replay the fumbles. Instead of just posting and moving on, I hesitate. But the truth is simple: What I need isn’t another strategy. I need consistency in being seen. I’m building this for the long term — for freedom, for my family, for legacy. That was never going to happen on an emotional timeline. So my reset is this: Less overthinking. More execution. Long game. I’m staying.

If I’m being honest, I assumed success would happen within a few months. I thought if I worked hard, stayed consistent, and did all the “right” things, the results would come quickly. But what I didn’t expect was how long it would take to even figure out what I truly wanted to do. I kept changing directions. And even when I felt clear, I stayed in my own way. I would think: - Will this even work? - I don’t fully understand this, so maybe I can’t do it. - What if I’m wasting my time? I doubted myself before I even gave myself a real chance. Then I had to remind myself — this is like starting a new job. You’re not expected to know everything on day one. You’re not supposed to be perfect right away. You learn as you go. You grow into it. Success takes longer than emotions expect. And clarity takes time. Confidence comes from doing — not from waiting until you “feel ready.” So today, instead of rushing results, I’m focusing on building trust. Trust with people. Trust in the process. Trust in myself. I release the rush. I commit to staying. I play the long game. 🤍

I've found most people, myself included, are in a "pay for performance" mindset and most online opportunities are promoted as quick money. Often times there is a financial hardship that brings people to the online business space and there is an expectation that they will be able to create quick money. I looked for the Easy Button but never found it and almost gave up. Then I read Harvey Mackay's " Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty" and it changed my way of thinking. I realized that the work came first, put in the effort and the results will come. I still haven't had the big breakthrough but I'm still showing up. Lately with my new walk in faith I keep hearing the same thing in my head...be patient, calm yourself and trust in Him to guide you. I've taken a bit of a reset lately, slowed down, opened my ears and started to listen to Him. He has reassured me that this is His plan and I'm following His path. I'll get to my destination in fair time, right now I'm enjoying the scenery on the journey. Love y'all, have a blessed day 🙏

Focus: Success takes longer than emotions expect. Emotions can change day to day. We all have life that comes into it. Some of it good and some bad. Getting past the emotion and working through is part of the success. For example: Mental exhaustion can be an emotion and I decided just because I have been through a major event for a family member. I took a step and for sure have done Day 1. This is a start. Sometimes you have to start at a new emotional point and push through no matter the result. Prompt: What timeline did I assume success would follow? Really, wanted kids, but am thankful that I don't because of my ex. So success has changed for me. I'd wanted to have more in my 30s. Maybe even a good corporate job. Life didn't get me there and that is ok. So it took a group of people to help me realize I can make money online. I can and should live my dream. So as far as timeline it has shifted from corporate goals to my own goals and that means daily doing one thing I'm scared of and trying whether failure or success. Action: Release the rush. Commit to staying. So with that as I walk in my faith. I continue to try till something sticks. It doesn't have to be fun. Boring will do. Though I couldn't make the live event on Friday I commit to this challenge for no one else but me. Nobody else can take an action for my road but me. Encouragement is welcome. Identity Shift: I play the long game I work day to day to see my long term goals and give myself a better life. While treating others with kindness along the way.
