What if my businesses 'never worked out' because...

I was driving the other day after dropping off the kids with my amazing mother-in-love. Windows down. Arm out- feeling the breeze as I cruised along listening to this (new to me) artist.

When this phrase popped into my head:

“What if my businesses ‘never worked out’ because I was meant to be doing this?”

‘This’ being:

* nurturing and unschooling my kids

* being there to coach their tee ball team, teach a co-op class and run Lego club

* to be- writing and sharing when it feels good, traveling and living my life more than finding ROI in my actions

I put ‘never worked out’ in quotes too because I do this often… I miss the greatness in the present (and past) striving for something bigger in the future. (when I could be having it right now.)

I’ve been working on this. Not letting my perfectionism and conditioned way of being, take away from the joy I’m experiencing now.

(receipts- my current lock screen)

Because in all reality- my past businesses have worked out.

Maybe not always in the way I was expecting- but certainly in the tools and knowledge I have today.

* And better yet- it lead me to find the creative work that fuels me now.

* The projects that I create only for me- not for public consumption. And the articles and courses I love to create and share for others too.

This article from Amie McNee then landed in my inbox and felt like YES- THIS is what I’m talking about✨

Maybe you relate? Maybe Definitely I’m processing this idea out loud. Comment and let us know here.
