A big part of what we learn is about how to do things "right" and perfectly". When I make an imperfect thing I'm honest about it but I don't scrap it and re-do it now like I used to. These were my thoughts about a video I made that I didn't love: I thought: My energy was a bit off and my good camera wasn’t working so the lighting isn’t great. I don’t think it’s very good I should do it again when I get the good camera working again. But I coached myself instead: I said "it’s imperfect so what?" It shares the info I needed to share for the day! This won’t be my last video. I’ll improve the next one. This one will stay imperfect. A lesson in perfectionism: It won’t affect the end result of who receives it. It’s good enough. I’d give it a B-That will work. Now I move forward to create more and improve THE next ones. See my two models there? One would keep me re-doing work that is good enough for no big (or any return on investment of time) The other will allow me to move forward. Not a big deal. How are you overcoming perfectionistic tendencies today?

The time I was invited to serve on Jury Duty: The first week I was supposed to start my new job, I was asked to serve on jury duty. In the interview, they asked if I had anything that would stop me from starting the new role on the date we were discussing and I told them that I *may* have jury duty. I didn’t think I would get picked, but I did secretly want to be. I had wanted to serve on a jury since I was little. I liked watching lawyer shows like the practice and LA law with my parents. So While everyone else was trying to get out of it, I was secretly imagining myself being chosen. And I was lucky because in the room of 100+ people my number was picked ! (It was so odd how they did the selection.) The drew random numbers out of a little wooden box and called those people up to the front. Then the chosen people lined up and both sides of the attorneys looked at us and either gave a yes or a no. Just by looking at us! I guess I wore the right sweater that day, because I was picked! What I didn’t anticipate is that The trial went on for 2 weeks and we were sequestered, when it was time to deliberate the evidence they took our phones and wouldn’t let us out of the room until we had reached a decision. Thankfully my new employer was awesome. They paid me for the full 2 weeks my full salary. This was part of their policy they paid anyone who was called for jury duty for the duration of their service. This is what I refer to as a high value employer. They created their policies with the interests of the employee considered. And they held up in every other area too. This was a big green flag when starting my new job. If you want to find an employer who has their employees best interests at heart the place to start is by believing that they exist. I have worked at many amazing places and I share as an example of what’s possible for you. This is a bare minimum in my opinion but many employers do not compensate for jury duty. I know this because most of those on the Jury with me were not compensated, and had to figure out how they were going to lose 2 weeks of pay and still be ok. My next free Training will be happening in October! Get on the waitlist for this life-changing event to learn how to attract high-quality environments and employers into your life as a part of who you are and what you deserve.  

I have first-hand experience with someone wanting to bring me down with their limitations. And it wasn’t done in a malicious way, it was said as “cautionary advice” under the guise of “I want to protect you” And this happens more often than not. “That will be really hard” “Only people who have graduated business school could do what you are trying to do”  “Yeah but you don’t really know how to do that or have any experience owning an online business ….”  “Ha! Don’t expect that will work!” All things my ex said to me. And he was right. And you know what else is Also true? Hard is not a showstopper  Many successful entrepreneurs actually dropped out of college and are proud of it (I met several of them at networking events)!  True I don’t really know how to do that and I haven’t done it before…. Why is that a problem…? Seriously I’m confused? Why is that actually a problem? Other people’s support is nice to have but it’s not a requirement. Remember that. Anytime someone throws their lovely well meaning *2 cents* your way. You are entitled to *hand it right back* and say thank you but no thank you 😊 Other people’s “cautionary” limitations are choices. Even if they seem like facts! It’s up to you if they are or not. Whenever they feel like a sting it’s because you have doubt that their comments have brought out. Look at what’s there and use it for fuel. Then sit back and say “just watch me and prepare to take notes” 😊😊😊
