If you find yourself in the middle of some ups, downs, and in-betweens in life or business, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sharing my hardest season as an entrepreneur and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

While it still feels messy, here are some of the highlights, lowlights, and lessons that stand out. I hope they help you on your own journey.

Living is like learning to surf. Problems are just waves. The only thing you need to decide is if you’re going to go over or under them. 🌊

Lessons:

5:24 You can survive without a plan! By showing up 15 minutes a day, another piece is revealed or another door opened. Step in faith again and again.

6:57 It's okay to go slow. It allows for mindfulness, intimacy, presence, and relaxation.

8:20 Keep showing up, even when you can't see the sprouts from all of the planting and work.

9:30 Honor the season you're in. There will be ebbs and flows, times for creativity, times for going inward.

10:29 You can be okay in the unknown. Stay in the presence of God and do the next thing. Journal, take lots of breaks, make space for allowing and receiving.

12:24 Be loving and gentle on yourself and others. Remember that business isn't everything. You don't have to take it all so seriously.

Enjoy!
