State Before Strategy

How will I tell people about my new offer? Should I run ads? 

Should I host free events? Go to networking groups?

What emails should I send to my list?

Hold on there, tiger. 🐯

You can spin your brain about your business until the cows come home.

You can buy every course, download every e-book, evaluate every piece of software, try every cold outreach strategy.

There’s a time and a place for such things. (Maybe.)

But first: Check: What state of being are you coming from?

Are you panicked? Anxious? Scared? Sure there’s a right way? Sure you don’t know it?

Do you feel there’s something to prove—to mom, your old boss, your older brother, your spouse, yourself?

Are dread, overwhelm, or obligation wafting through the halls of your mind?

If so, my friend, THIS is your first priority.

Clean up your state.

Find sufficiency. Find desire. 

Find a sense of excitement, joy, and play.

Feel the stretch of learning, growing, becoming someone new.

The state of mind and state of being you move from matters as much if not more as the specific actions you take.

If you’re a total beginning, use your inner wisdom to decide what to learn and from who — from a sense of abundance and excitement.

If you know some stuff about running a business, trust your discernment, your connection with your people — from a state of service and delight.

How the heck do you move into this state?

That’s the work. The constant practice. The meditation of creating a flowing, fulfilled life.
