Starting Your Business One Step at a Time [Part 1]

It all begins with an idea…

From there come layers upon layers upon layers of intricate details to consider. Thinking about what to tackle first can be so overwhelming you stop dead in your tracks. I think it’s helpful to have a general road map to follow - but the other side of that coin is accepting that building and growing your business is a long and winding road where sometimes things just don’t go as planned.

Some days, I feel inspired and driven and want to stay up until 2am working because I’m afraid that if I stop I’ll lose that beautiful momentum. Some days I wonder what in the world are we even doing with our lives/business, none of it makes sense and I feel stuck and sluggish.

Here’s my number one take away from this process :

Coast the motivation wave when you have that momentum and inspiration BUT THEN….. also embrace the still water when things are not flowing. I’m learning it’s the OTHER side of inspiration where you get perspective. To solidify and own your vision, you need TIME to let those ideas rest. Knowing that and doing that are two different things and I would say embracing rest and the quite times is something I reckon with every day.
