If You Want Your Life To Change, You Have To Do Something Different

A real, but annoying truth… I know 😉

Have you ever wanted your life to change in some way, but you sat for months or perhaps years thinking about it and wishing for it? Maybe even meditated and visualized it every day, like a good little student of life? Perhaps you even took it as far as creating a vision board that hung on your wall, so you could look at your dreams every day and remind yourself of what you want on the regular?

But somehow, despite the wishes, thoughts, collage, and visualization, you found yourself in the exact same place at the end of the year, and you’re left wondering why things didn’t change?!

Hands up if you have found yourself there, time and time again… 

🙋🏻‍♀️

I’ve ridden this train for years and years, over and over again, mostly around my own projects, to be completely honest. 

I’ve worked for the past 8 years in the online business world doing… all the things.

Literally, all of them. 😅

I’ve worked as a director of operations, project manager, produced a podcast, self-taught myself basic audio and video editing for various projects, managed and contributed content to social media accounts, produced MANY in-person retreats of various sizes and in various types of locations, and I also produced and managed a full-blown year-long certification and training program. I’ve managed subscription and membership programs, created online courses, and am well versed in creating and scaling online businesses. Over the past 3 years, I’ve led masterclasses and workshops on various things in this realm, like conscious business, $$$, and putting your visions into the world. And I’ve had my own client practice throughout this time, working 1:1 while doing all of the above.

Like I said, literally all of the things haha!

Most of the work and business building I’ve done has been for other businesses, and I’ve loved it! I’ve traveled, made community, taught myself A LOT of new skills in the moment as it was needed. It’s been fun, valuable, and very successful for the businesses I’ve worked in. 

But the thing I’ve been really craving for a long time now, is to see my own business and projects grow. To fully step into my role as CEO of my own life. To bring all my skills and expertise back to me. 

I’ve existed in this place of dreaming and desiring around this for years now. Wanting to start a blog, a youtube channel, commit to social media and put my ideas and vibe out there in a bigger way. To possibly write books someday. To be myself and pour my hard work into my own projects. And I’ve resisted! I’ve been comfortable enough in holding the grand vision for myself, even putting some minimal effort into the planning behind the scenes over the years… but where I’ve stayed stuck is in the action - in the ‘doing something different’.

Well, I know that this is perhaps a hard pill to swallow 😆, but the truth is, in order to change, we have to change.

Meaning: in order for our lives to change, we HAVE TO do something different.

If we don’t ‘do something different’, and keep doing the same things and making the same decisions day in and day out, our lives will look the same in 5 years and we will wonder where the time went, and why we aren’t where we imagined we’d be.

Is this an obvious concept? YES, MAYBE IT IS.

BUT! AND! If this was an easy concept to implement, we would all be out there changing our lives and getting every single thing we desire with ease… like, all of the time.

If this was easy to do, I would be running my own multiple six-figure empire right now, and this blog would be 3 years strong already. 

ALAS, HERE WE ARE TODAY. 

Fresh and new. 3 posts in. My next ideas written out on big pads of paper, waiting to have the space to be implemented. 

And that’s GREAT, because today, I’m stepping into this. 2024 is the year that I’m doing something different. It’s the year that I action these ideas, and put them out into the world.

The results of any of our efforts are not guaranteed. (I do believe that consistency, momentum, and the ability to review and adapt will usually get you there, though! More on that later… 😉) 

But what I do know for absolute certainty is that unless I do something different, things will stay the exact same for years to come. And I am no longer ok with that. And I don’t want that for you, either. I want you to LIVE YOUR BIG LIFE! I believe you can do it, too. 

This blog is the start of the change for me. 

What will be the start of the change for you?
