This week’s Simply Fearless Friday is dedicated to all the fabulous fempreneurs who were at the very first Women Entrepreneurs of the Bay Area meetup group in San Mateo last night. You ladies rock! It was definitely one of the best networking events I’ve ever been to. The energy was phenomenal. There was something in the air that allowed us to simply be ourselves, which made our introductions way more powerful and effective. Wasn’t it great getting up and speaking to 60+ women while being videotaped by the fearless Ana Lucia Novak?! A huge thank you and hats off to Phyllis Garland for putting together a powerful group. And this is just the beginning!
Okay, now on to the fear I faced this week…
Oh boy. This one was a biggie. I woke up Monday morning feeling overwhelmed, confused, and rattled. Yeah, it was one of those moments when I was like, “What am I doing? Who am I serving? How can I do this?” Yup. I was freaking out.
And instead of pushing through my to-do list I reached out for help. I knew that I was way off center and needed some support getting back into alignment {hey it sounds like I needed a chiropractor for my soul!} So I sent of an email to my coach asking for a session. I felt a little bit better just knowing that help was on the way.
Secondly, I put all business development stuff aside. Even though I REALLY wanted to work on some projects, I knew that it would not benefit me, my business, or my clients if I created from a place of panic. So I let it go and cleaned my office space.
The next morning I sat down with my Soul and said, “Okay, Soul, I’ll do whatever you say because I have nothing left. I’ve done all my ideas and I’m back to nothing.” And guess what happened? I received very specific information about my next offering and I’m so excited because I can feel the power in it! I immediately jumped up from my meditation corner, turned on my computer, and got to work writing out the invitation, setting up the webpage, and creating the registration packet. Whew! It’s been 3 solid days of creation, but now I am ready. I am launching my very first Soul-inspired program and it even amazes me. The invitation is going out to my list today and I can’t wait to start welcoming people in. If you want to receive an invitation, then please send me an email at Cassandra@SimplyFearless.com and I will shoot one right out to you. This initial offering is a once-in-a-lifetime deal and it’s only going out to my current network plus all the ladies from WEBA.
Okay, so now looking back on my week I’m grateful for being overwhelmed, confused, and rattled because it was exactly what I needed to re-align myself and my coaching practice with Soul. Woohoo!
