Description

Having those tight containers, having the team to help do some of that for me, has created so much space for me to enjoy life. It bought so much of my time back. So a lot has come through growing my business even lately from starting with adding the team members and creating some containers and opening up more space.  If you hire a team member and not knowing what they're supposed to do or what they should do, you're not going to get it. And I think a big mistake I see a lot is people try to hire out the outcome. They are not hired the outcome. They'd hire out the clarity. And instead of being like how could I get those or where they come from? They're like, Hey, let me pay you this money really ambiguously to try to generate something really ambiguously. So then I can get upset at you because I was so ambiguous, blame you, fire you and waste more money. You have to understand what your strengths are. And then you have to just implore either a team around you, people around you support around you that help reflect back the things that aren't really our skill sets.It's like the road to personal growth, where it be for ourselves and or our business. It is not a solo journey. If you get in that car and start driving, you are going to crash into a tree and maybe die. You got to have some passengers. You've got to have people in the back. You gotta have the what's, the NASCAR reference, the leader car. we all have a skill set. We all have expertise, we all have experience. And then we get into this trap of doesn't everybody have that? Hasn't everybody hosted an HGTV show or written scripts for television. Hasn't everybody done that I did it this morning. Like that literally you, we get into that trap. So when you want to step onto bigger stages or you want to get into bigger rooms, or you want to sit at bigger tables, you have to look at what your unique value proposition is. And while I know what mine is, I discredited it a lot or I sweep it under the table and I don't use it to my advantage. I don't think it's normal to want to promote yourself 24/7especially as entrepreneurs. But then I think the inverse is having, the relationship with is what gets the attention. This is what inspires people. This is what they're like. Wow. I can do that too.  Because every time we promote ourselves, every time we share our stories, every time we are willing to be like, this is who I am, of what I've done.We write permission, slips for other people to be like, God, I can do that. I think a lot of it is like understanding your strengths. Like one of my strengths in marketing and in business is my ability to play up in the clouds and think about things and then understand. There's really two ways to get the clarity is either you have to willingly land on the ground and be like, cool, I have to do it. Or you have to have a team or a process around yourself to allow you to ideate that process. All of our action comes from clarity in any stuckness stagnation, frustration. Anxiety is basically we have an energy or something to be given somewhere, but we don't know where to put it. this goes back to tight containers. Like once you start to understand where you're leaking and you have to just evaluate that you have to like, get really honest with yourself and figure out what are the tasks that as you call them, queen bee roles that I can't really outsource. so in the beginning I didn't do all that. I was just like, I literally was waiting for the VA to tell me what I needed. And so that was a horrible disastrous, couple of VA's that I went through. Not that they were bad VA's but I was a horrible boss. That's really what it was. And so finally it was looking at those things and actually writing down my tasks, like what the hell do I do every day. So that's how I started to create space in my business because I was doing all those things. So now that someone's in the business doing that for me, it's just created so much more space.One of the things that
