Every once in awhile I get this feeling of “I don’t wanna” when it comes to being consistent and doing the work, and I often almost convince myself that it’s probably a good thing if I take a “day off” and do something other than THE WORK.
Some days the work feels HARD.
Some days the work feels ANNOYING.
Some days the work feels POINTLESS.
And some days I really, truly do believe that I should NOT do the work. My reasoning always seems justified.
Except –
I want the results.
And so I have a little meltdown, kick and scream for a bit, and then –
I GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT.
I don’t mean this to say that I force myself to do shit I hate, because that would be inaccurate. I ADORE what I do. But sometimes I’m lazy and just don’t feel like it.
Not feeling like it isn’t an excuse and it’s definitely not a reason to not show up and do the work I’ve been consistent with for so long.
The funny thing is –
The more I do the work, the more I love the work. And in those moments when I DO say “fuck it” and ignore the work, I feel like crap.
Not in a guilty kinda way (although maybe a tiny bit), but moreso in a way of actually wanting to do it.
Deep down, I ALWAYS wanna do the work.
I just don’t wanna be told what to do - even by myself.
I know you feel me on that, haha!
I always find it interesting when someone tells me they aren’t getting the resuls they want in their business (especially around money) and when I ask them how often they’re showing up online every day they say “at least once a day”.
Once a day?
That’s it?
But whyyyyyy?
And I just throw my hands up in the air and sigh.
Once a day is enough only if this is a hobby for you and you don’t care to make a lot of money, nor a big impact in the lives of others.
Otherwise, you need to be showing up even more, and consistently.
I’m not at all saying that you need to be glued to your laptop 24/7 or that you need to ignore the world (although sometimes you want to, let’s be honest).
But showing up?
Baring your soul?
Letting us IN?
That’s gotta be something you live for, something you crave, something you can’t do without!
Which means, of course, that we wanna hear from you, learn from you, buy from you, all the live long day, alright?
Now, if you want to be online and visible “all day long”, while still having a life away from the computer, I’m gonna share with you a super secret “trick” to get the job done.
It’s called DOCUMENTING & SHARING.
Basically - every time you do something (okay, not EVERYthing), snap a picture, shoot a quick video or Insta story, or write a short post for FB - and then slap it up on the internet.
Social media is best, since it’s fast and easy and that’s where everyone hangs out 99.9% of the time anyway.
It’s not hard. It’s doesn’t take a ton of your time. And it guarantees that you’re always showing up and being visible in front of your peeps.
(And FYI, if you’re not visible, they ain’t gonna hunt you down, and if they don’t know that you exist, they ain’t buyin’!)
But what if you’re boring?
What if you don’t live an exciting life?
What if people won’t care what you ate for lunch?
Well, first of all, you’re wrong.
You’re more interesting and fun and exciting than you like to give yourself credit for.
And second of all, your soulmate peeps think you’re awesome and they want to hear from you - otherwise they wouldn’t be following you!
So in other words:
Suck it up, champ, and get to sharing.
Just a lil’ disclaimer here:
We don’t need to know evvvvvverything about the goings on in your life, but we do wanna hear about the important stuff.
Which is, in fact, what you ate for lunch. And also:
- What’s working for you right now in/with your business/relationships/
- What you’re struggling with (so we can see that you aren’t perfect and feel more of a connection with you - “yay, she’s human just like me!”), and what you’re doing about it
- Where you’re travelling to and what you’re doing
- Behind-the-scenes of your daily life
- Your habits and routines
- Mistakes you’ve made (and lessons you’ve learned from them)
- Any kind of tips on how to improve our business/life/body/health/
Basically anything you would share with your best friend - that’s what we wanna know about.
And all that’s required of you, in order to help others, get paid to be you, and make a lot of freakin’ money?
Is to share that shit. Freely. Every day.
Got it?
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Say YES to you and take action now!
