Every day I see women in the HerBusiness Network making big leaps in their business.

They’re changing their revenue model.

Launching a new product or service.

Going from being an offline business to an online business.

Or, they’re transitioning from being a solopreneur to growing a team.

Others are bringing on more senior staff and moving out of the day-to-day running of their business.

Some are reaching for a much higher income or revenue than they’ve EVER done before.

Many are growing a big audience on social media or getting their message out there in a big way.

AND, I LOVE SEEING THEIR BIG DREAMS.

I love thinking big and seeing others think big.

When it comes to these big undertakings though - these big leaps, it can feel like we have to take such big steps to get there. But here’s what I’ve noticed in my own business.

The big leaps come from consistently taking small steps.

Running a half-marathon is a series of small strides, less than a metre each, over and over, to get to the finish line. And it’s the SAME when it comes to business.

Big leaps come from taking a series of small steps, over and over again.

From stringing a series of small steps together over a period of time. Not from making big leaps in a single action.

I saw this quote from James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) the other day.

He wrote:

"Just have one good day. Then repeat."
James Clear, author of Atomic Habits

This is so good.

A ton of energy.

You've likely heard the phrase: Proceed with caution.

If you've been in business for any time at all, you've likely made mistakes that have you be more cautious as you think about your next steps.

Maybe you tried to reach a revenue figure in 2020 and missed it by a mile. Or, you hired that person that you were counting on to get you out of the day to day and then they left. Or, you created a new online course and put it to market and then… crickets. Now, you're not as bold about jumping into another big investment (in time and money)

Imagine moving into this year with a different attitude.

Imagine moving into your 2021 with abandon.

How might that change your results this year?

We don't know how the year will pan out and what adventures might come our way. But, we see members of the HerBusiness Network putting in place their 2021 plans - working on their marketing, creating lead magnets, and launching memberships this year.

They are going from being solopreneurs to micropreneurs. That is, they are actively growing a team. They can move forward with their plans with fear and trepidation. Or, they can move into the new year with abandon - without concern.

2020 toughened us up a little, and we know to expect the unexpected. We know who has our back and which communities and groups to rely on to be there for us.

We also know that we may need to be flexible and agile - to take a new direction at a moment's notice to grow or revitalise our business.
Moving ahead with abandon means saying NO to fear even when we don't know what will happen when you move into the unknown.

So, if you've ever told yourself:

Don't go too fast.
Don't make mistakes.
Don't make that investment in yourself unless you're 100% sure.
Don't make that investment in your business unless you're 100% sure.

Then this episode is for you.

Listen to discover:

• What it means to proceed with abandon
• How your business is like art
• Why your vision demands that you say no to fear to move ahead
• Seven things that give you life force and energy and support your goals and the key things that diminish your energy

Do you find yourself asking for feedback?

Maybe you’ve had a graphic designer work up a new logo for you.  You have the choice down to a couple of options and you’re not sure which way to go. So, you reach out and ask for feedback.

Or, you’re not sure what to name your new product or service. So you post into a random Facebook group and ask for feedback.

Perhaps you want a set of eyes over your marketing plan to know that you’re on track. And, so, you ask a friend to take a look at it and give you feedback.

Here’s the problem with asking for feedback.

Feedback is often too vague to be helpful.

So, what do you ask for instead? That’s what we are looking at in today’s episode.

Listen to discover:

• Why asking for feedback can lead to confusion and overwhelm, and what to ask for instead
• Who ask for advice when you need help in your business
• The role that experience plays is providing useful input into your business challenges
• Why more opinions is not better (and what is)
