What You Know – A Manifesto for Women Business Owners
As women business owners, we so often focus on what we DON’T know.
Where we are NOT good enough.
The GAPS in our skills.
But I believe there ARE so many things you DO know…
As a result of…
… Your Experience
… Your instinct
… Your inspiration
And now is the time to back yourself.
Do what you know in your gut, needs to happen next…
Because… What You Know is…
…that you’re here to make a contribution, to make a difference. You can sense your potential. You have something great to share.
Your business is a doorway to that potential; that freedom – where you can have the flexibility and life you want
Maybe it’s not there yet, but you can see that day coming.
It’s what you’re working towards.
It’s what spurs you on.
What You Know is that stepping-up starts with stepping out… of your comfort zone.
Deep down, you know there is no perfect time to take that next step. That if you wait until you’re 100% ready you’ll never do it. But right now, you are ready enough.
Take on that big project. Launch that idea. Say yes to that opportunity.
Whatever it is. You know the time to begin it is now.
Because there’s no such thing as an overnight success. Every leap forward comes as a result of the actions you take, the effort you put in, the people you bring around you.
And sometimes that breakthrough can feel far away.
It takes some falling down and getting back up again.
It takes asking for help.
It takes investing in yourself.
And What You Know is that making it in your business is so much harder when you go it alone.
And so much better when you have a network of people around you who will be there for you no matter what, cheering you on, holding you accountable, and sharing the journey along the way.
What You Know is that you have to keep learning. The minute you stop, you start to stagnate.
You know the only thing standing between you and your next goal is what you are yet to learn.
And here is what I know…
Success in business comes from not only what you’re doing but also, who you’re BEING.
Running your own business is one of the best personal development experiences you could ever have.
The minute you back yourself and trust what you already know… Stand up for it. Stop under-estimating it. Grow confidence around it… THEN your world changes… and your brilliant future opens up to you.
You become clear about what the next step is and where you want to go.
Today is the day to begin.
I know you can.
