I chose not to receive any calls (lol srry mum)
I recently lost my job and it’s back to the drawing board in finding another. It’s particularly upsetting because it was a role that I found a lot of fun and that I felt I could grow in. I bragged a lot on social media, and I felt like I knew exactly what I was doing with my life then. And now I… don’t.
Especially for someone who wants to help other people follow their dreams, moments like this feel crushing to me. How can I encourage other people to create their own path, when I am struggling to do that myself?
Despite being thrown back into another wave of uncertainty, I can feel the universe is teaching me a lot.
🌌 How to stick to my guns
🌌 How to feel safe & confident in my own skin (bye-bye desperate energy)
🌌 How to respect the journey, and be honest!
I’m on the soloprenuer side of twitter and everyone there is celebrating the smallest things.
💵 My first dollar earned online!
💵 I got 20 followers WOW
💵 So many downloads for this free item!
I’ve been reflecting on how I never celebrated those things. When even was my first dollar made on the internet? I get thousands of views a month but all of that seems so incredibly insignificant to me.
It made me realise.
⭐ Wins compound! And it starts from small ⭐
It was pretty hard to decide to share this with everyone because it feels like I’ve failed and like that’s not who I want to share on the internet. It’s scary to tell people something didn’t work out or that I’m not doing my best. But recently I’ve been coming to the terms with the fact that this energy is stealing from me and making it much harder to suceed. It’s making it much harder to see the success because I am not allowing myself to celebrate the journey.
⭐ Every failure celebrated is fuel for your next success ⭐
Share your journey with people. Don’t try to hide your progress even if that progress looks small. You’re subconsciously teaching yourself that the you now isn’t good enough and that your progress isn’t building up to much. Be proud of your beginnings, accept your present, give power to your future.

Did you enjoy this newsletter? Is there something you’ve been afraid to be transparent with yourself about? Share it with me!
I really liked what you said about not hiding progress. I remember when I first started my newsletter I had a goal to reach 100 subscribers at the 1 year mark. I then discovered another substack that started a few weeks before me and already had over 100 subscribers. I felt really discourgaged and sometimes still do. I think hiding progress occurs when you anticipate failure. If no one knows you were working towards something, you don't have to tell them when you fail.
Congrats on your shop and the downlaods you recieved! Everything in life is redirection :)
