Since this site is designed with Mommies in mind, I’m assuming most of you have had at least one child.
Having been pregnant myself, two other times (in the past 3 years), I don’t have to tell you what an amazing, scary, incredible, crazy, funny, sick, confusing, and unreal time it can be.
There are so many things going on that you have no control over, and yet, everything you do matters.
The same is true when you own your own business, or have branded yourself, and are promoting yourself as well as other people/things.
The same is true when you have your own business. Even now, my heart and mind are racing with an overflowing amount of ideas and Universal energy! I feel as though I could give birth to these things at any moment! As with human births, there is a period of labor when working on growing your business. HARD labor (for most).
When I was in labor with both my daughters, I had an epidural at some point. You can have what could be considered an epidural in business as well! The name of this wonder drug? “MENTOR”.
It’s amazing what having a MENTOR can do for you! You can virtually eliminate the pain and struggle of giving birth to your business! So, how does it work? Having a mentor means you can bypass some of the biggest mistakes that someone without one might make. With the world literally at your fingertips, you would think having an online business would be simple, or at least easier. Wrong! With so much information out there – most of which can brake the bank before you even get any momentum – there have to be people you can trust to show you how it’s done. To show you how THEY did it!
Even though there are “Tribes” popping up all over the place, you still need one or two people to be one on one with you. That personal accountability and friendship is incredibly important when you’re getting your feet wet.
And don’t forget to return the favor! Pay it forward, and backward! Give to those who helped you get started, and keep you going. How do you do that? Subscribe to their blogs and share with the world! This is all about reciprocation and appreciation.
Also give to those who are just starting out, like you were. Show them the path that was laid out before you. Everyone will have different challenges and goals, but the basics are the same, and your support is invaluable.
Let’s take care of each other! Let’s share AND GROW the wealth!
PS – Just so my husband doesn’t freak out, I’m not pregnant with a human child! It’s just business honey!
