Yikes, I just looked at my calendar and there now less than 6 weeks until we get to 2020!!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So, what is 2020 going to be like for you?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🙏🏻 Is it going to be the best year for you and your business?⁠⠀
🙏🏻 Are you going to hit those goals, take those leaps and change your life?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
or⁠⠀
⁠⠀
😫 Are you really nervous about the future?⁠⠀
🤯 Are you confused about where to turn next?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If it's the latter and you're looking for some help, I want to tell you how that can work:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1) Join The Wedding Business Club (we open the doors again in January - join the waitlist in the link in my bio!)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2) Join my FREE Facebook group, The School of Happiness (link in my bio).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3) Enrol on my 4-Month coaching programme. I'm now fully booked but have 1 space available to start in January. Send me a DM to talk about how we can make that space yours.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
4) Book a business boosting Mastermind Day with me. I currently have 2 spaces in December. If you need a 2020 strategy get in touch by sending me a DM.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So, which will it be??⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I can’t wait to help make 2020 YOUR year.

12 months into running my first business I started to feel really doubtful about it. I was surrounded by people, further along in their business, telling me that it was too crowded, the industry was dying and that there was no way you could make any serious money from it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I remember being at a wedding show and texting my husband and confessing that it had all been a waste of time and energy.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Argh. I wish I could go back and shake myself for spending ANY time falling into this trap.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Of course I know why it happened. I was scared, really scared, I had no idea what I was doing and felt like I was paddling against the current.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I can't quite remember the exact moment I decided to step away from that rhetoric but when I did it felt like a rush of adrenaline... nobody else could build my business for me, nobody else could overcome the obstacles that were ahead of me. I HAD TO DO IT.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So I did. I was like a woman possessed. I did everything I could possibly do to make that business a success. I poured hours, I worked HARD, I poured my soul into it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
*Caveat: this is NOT what I teach other people to do. It can be a whole lot easier than I made it for myself*⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Because if opportunity doesn't knock (which it won't!) BUILD A DOOR.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Stop waiting for it to fall into your lap and leap into your future.

Not many people know this about me but I love spreadsheets. I really love them, I need them, I am lost without them.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's not the actual spreadsheet I love, it's what they enable me to do that I love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
They allow me to feel in control.⁠⠀ When I first started running my business I, as many people do, grossly underestimated how much plate spinning goes into the ‘behind the scenes’ of the business. I had a fancy idea of me turning up at weddings, taking photos and money flowing into my bank account. Nice idea huh 😏

Of course in reality we also have to be: • accountant
• content manager
• social media manager
• web developer
• designer
• copy writer
⁠
Or do we 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you’re still juggling all the things, I have a plan for you. Something that will help you take a step towards being the business owner that can let the money flow without stressing over all the things. It goes like this. • what ONE thing can you outsource?

Before you get in a tangle about being able to afford outsourcing, let me tell you this. One of the first things I outsourced was my accountancy (quite rightly - I’m not a professional accountant! How could I expect myself to get that right?!) And the expertise and knowledge my accountant shared with me SAVED ME MONEY. Plus having that help and support resulted in my new love of spreadsheets ❤️ Because finally I could understand them.

The next thing I outsourced was my website design. And quite rightly - I’m not a website designer, I have no experience. I was floundering. And guess what, when I outsourced this, my website became a CLIENT MAGNET. The investment paid for itself.

So today, have a think about the ‘stone in your shoe’ - what is it and how can you either (1) outsource, or (2) get better at.

Share your ideas with me 👇🏼

This is a picture of me sipping champagne at a spa day. Very nice, one of my favourite things to do in fact. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
THIS IS NOT MY REAL LIFE.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Sorry about the caps there peeps but I just want to get real for a second. Instagram (and indeed all social media) has a way of making us believe that everyone else is living some sort of dream life, that everything is perfect and rosy and shiny and champagne-sipping.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Urgh, the cookie-cutter existence is exhausting to watch. And it's not healthy. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
YOU ARE COMPARING YOUR NORMAL LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOWREEL.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That's like comparing apples for pears. It's pointless.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Social media should be a place of inspiration - 100%. I love following people I aspire to be like, places I dream of visiting, things I'd love to buy.... I want to see the pretty stuff.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
BUT, and it's a big BUT. I have stopped comparing my normal to their highlights. Because it's just not fair on me.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you're running a business and you think that the future of that business will always be rosy, well that's just not accurate. You'll have down days. Don’t let the vacuum of social media compare those down days to everyone else’s highlights.
⁠⠀
Be kind to yourself, be honest, be real. You will love yourself more and so will everyone else.⁠⠀

Last week I spotted a huge grey hair on my head (wow those suckers just spring up out of nowhere but when they do they are mahoosive!) I did what I think you're not supposed to do and plucked it out straight away.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And I stood there in the bathroom for a moment and pondered on my new discovery.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Was this a sign of me getting older?⁠⠀
Is this the beginning of a decline?⁠⠀
Will I start 'looking older'?⁠⠀
Will I start 'feeling older'?⁠⠀
I probably will be too old to shoot weddings soon.⁠⠀
My children will be leaving home soon.⁠⠀
I wish I was younger.⁠⠀
I've made mistakes in my life.⁠⠀
Too many mistakes.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You've had that moment, yes? Where your thoughts spiral wildly out of control and before you know it, a simple situation has become a ground-breaking emergency.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Actually I didn't go this far in my thinking but I know that on previous occasions I would have let myself. Your thoughts are a CHOICE. You choose how you respond, you choose how you feel and you choose your outcome.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So rather than let that moment spiral, I chose to think differently.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
How grateful I am to have made it to almost-40 in good health.⁠⠀
How grateful I am to have found the love of my life.⁠⠀
How grateful I am to have brought two children into this world.⁠⠀
How grateful I am to have multiple businesses I love.⁠⠀
How grateful I am to continue to have my incredibly precious here on planet earth.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And in that moment, grey hair in hand. I choose gratitude.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Can you choose gratitude instead of fear?
