Natalie:
00:00:00
Go with momentum.
2
:
00:00:02
Sometimes you're faced between two
different options or two different
3
:
00:00:05
choices and maybe you're trying to make
an opportunity work or you're trying to
4
:
00:00:10
pursue a new path or you're trying to see
what would be the right choice for you.
5
:
00:00:16
And sometimes, the paths they're
conflicting but you think both can
6
:
00:00:19
work, you're not really sure which one.
7
:
00:00:23
So you have to kind of try both.
8
:
00:00:25
But as soon as you get momentum in one,
9
:
00:00:30
And sometimes the momentum takes
a while to build and that can be
10
:
00:00:32
the frustrating part and sometimes
you have to be waiting for a while.
11
:
00:00:36
But for me, I just recently
had an opportunity.
12
:
00:00:39
I was trying to pursue a specific
opportunity for my business and
13
:
00:00:45
I tried three different paths.
14
:
00:00:47
The first path, instant momentum.
15
:
00:00:50
It just worked.
16
:
00:00:51
And then things kind of
died down for a while.
17
:
00:00:53
And I said, you know, I want to expand.
18
:
00:00:55
I want to get other
opportunities outside this area.
19
:
00:00:58
So I started to pursue a second area, but
as much as I would talk to people about
20
:
00:01:04
my ideas, I had calls, I had emails.
21
:
00:01:08
I sent wonderful proposals,
got a lot of good feedback, but
22
:
00:01:14
then it never went anywhere.
23
:
00:01:15
There was zero momentum.
24
:
00:01:18
Or I got shut down and I was told no
we're not going to go in this direction,
25
:
00:01:22
but thank you so much And everybody
saw the value in what I was proposing
26
:
00:01:27
But nobody in that second group wanted
to take it further and then I got an
27
:
00:01:34
opportunity To go a third route So I
was still working on the second route,
28
:
00:01:40
but an opportunity kind of naturally
presented itself for the third route
29
:
00:01:45
I didn't actually go looking for it.
30
:
00:01:46
It kind of came to me You And since
I've opened my mind and my eyes
31
:
00:01:52
to the possibilities of that third
area being a potential, momentum has
32
:
00:01:58
started building in that area too.
33
:
00:02:01
So what does this mean?
34
:
00:02:02
I'm now going to let go of that
second area altogether because
35
:
00:02:05
even though I would love to
expand my business in that area.
36
:
00:02:10
there's not a fit.
37
:
00:02:11
Maybe it's not a fit ever.
38
:
00:02:13
Maybe there's not a fit right now.
39
:
00:02:14
Maybe I haven't met the right people,
but for now there's no momentum.
40
:
00:02:18
So instead of me continuing to waste
effort and energy on something that has
41
:
00:02:24
yet to produce fruit, let me go with area
one and area three that are currently
42
:
00:02:29
producing fruit and are building momentum.
43
:
00:02:32
And so if you're in a stage of
life where, you know, you're just
44
:
00:02:36
feeling like you're stuck and you're
not really making a breakthrough.
45
:
00:02:39
Try to go back and identify, well,
what area were people showing interest?
46
:
00:02:43
Or where was I making a
little bit of progress?
47
:
00:02:46
And see what can be done on your end
to increase and boost that momentum.
48
:
00:02:52
And sometimes I'll say too,
sometimes you can't do anything.
49
:
00:02:56
Sometimes you just have to
sit and give it some time.
50
:
00:02:58
But you might be doing
things in the background.
51
:
00:03:00
You might be making
connections with people.
52
:
00:03:03
You might be improving things.
53
:
00:03:04
And then over time, the momentum
just comes out of nowhere.
54
:
00:03:08
I think I am wildly shocked at the leaps
and bounds my business has made in the
55
:
00:03:16
last two months after work I've put in
for the last two years that was always
56
:
00:03:22
building but now it just skyrocketed and
I'm like oh my goodness can I keep up
57
:
00:03:29
and that's an exciting problem to have
in an exciting area to be in especially
58
:
00:03:34
if you felt stuck like if you if
anybody's listening and they felt stuck
59
:
00:03:37
and they weren't going the right way.
60
:
00:03:39
I know what that feels like.
61
:
00:03:40
So, that's my That's my tip for today
is just go with momentum honestly This
62
:
00:03:46
supports your mental health and well
being so much because when you keep
63
:
00:03:49
meeting barrier after barrier and block
after block Sometimes it ruins your
64
:
00:03:53
creativity and it's hard to keep pursuing
new opportunities But when you find
65
:
00:03:58
momentum, you naturally get excited.
66
:
00:04:00
You get excited when someone books with
you or someone wants to work with you
67
:
00:04:04
or someone wants to partner with you.
68
:
00:04:06
And that excitement leads to
collaborative opportunities.
69
:
00:04:09
It leads to more creativity.
70
:
00:04:11
It hopefully leads to more
money, more connections.
71
:
00:04:14
So everything can really
grow and expand from there.
72
:
00:04:19
Until next time, continue to serve
yourself, your loved ones, and
73
:
00:04:21
your communities from a full cup.
