Dear you, from future you...
Dear you,
I know sometimes you feel like you are not enough, sometimes you feel like you need to learn more or have more accolades so people believe you. I want you to know you are enough and you have plenty of knowledge to guide the people you want to guide with what you already have. You have a strong intuitive voice that supports you when you’re doubting.
You have to start believing in your magic and and I hope you get to see the impact your work has on others. All you have to do is get really clear with your message and understand your humans so they feel like you’re having a conversation with them, not talking at them.
Your business model needs to be based on what will help you reach revenue stability as well as time sustainability so you can build the life you want. Undercharging and overworking isn’t going to get you where you want to go. Believe me, you can definitely work less and make more. It’s all about positioning and creating the right message for the right people. You already have the right offer.
I know you have a huge imagination and lots of ideas, celebrate them when they come and find a place for those ideas to live, not in your brain. Remember, your brain is a processor not a storage unit. If you focus on one at a time magic happens. Your 560 open tabs and 1324 unanswered emails do need tending when they are a priority. I believe you can build momentum and finally scale THAT offer, you have the people, you have the product, you just have to constantly talk about it.
On the same note of imagination and the renewable resource of ideas you have, think about what you want to be known for. What is the one sentence you say when you introduce yourself and that is the one sentence people think about when they talk about you without you in the room.
You have control of that narrative. This comes with focus and consistency. You can give yourself permission to be inconsistent in the consistencies. Find one thing you can be consistent on and hold on for dear life, your brain will want to go look for the next knitting craft to learn, or download that new app. You are strong. Create a solid system that supports you so your focus becomes fail proof, then move on to the next idea.
And things won’t be perfect. You will fall off, dust your knees and take another step. Remember that big light house that guides you. The vision you created for yourself and the pull that drives you every day to make it happen, even if at sloth-like speed.
You deserve to live the life you want to create despite what the world has told you. Trust your timeline. I know at times it feels like the ferris wheel of life you are on is at a stand and there’s a wind blowing everything away. And you’ve been there before. You have started over when the wind has knocked you over. And you kept going.
You are enough. NO, you are plenty and the world is waiting for your message.
~ Future you
This is the letter I wrote to myself before, and I’m sharing it with you to close the year. I invite you to write your own version of it and read it every day, every week, or every whenever you need a recalibration.
Happy end of 2022 and beginning of 2023!
