Instagram post 2159588158291185083_3262020319 Just know that you don’t have to quit your day job to enjoy what you do and create a life of meaning and fulfillment. That being said if you are inspired to embrace being an entrepreneur and go out on your own, here are some of the key tips and advice that I think every aspiring entrepreneur should know, many of which have been key for both Mel and I as we created our businesses... 1. On average it takes three years to establish a success business. That’s right, 3 years! It is not a quick fix or a get rich quick scheme, it takes time, commitment and a whole lot of love. Be patient and enjoy the journey. There is no rush! 2. You don’t have to quit your day job. Before you quit your day job there may be a more loving way to transition… Here are a few options… ● Have enough money that you can cover all your expenses without having to make any money (often 2 years’ worth of savings). ● Have a part-time job that covers your expenses. ● Have a partner who can support you finically as you build. ● Build your business on the side of your day job. 3. Build from inspiration rather than desperation. It is super important to create your business, service, etc. from a place of inspiration rather than desperation. If you are desperate for sales or clients than your potential clients will feel that. The key is to grow from a place of love. This is another reason why it’s important to have financial resources to help you in your transition. 4. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Hiring a coach, finding a mentor and enlisting the help and guidance of those who are already doing what you want to do is not only wise, it will save you a ton of time and energy. You got this!!

Instagram post 2157534285200798320_3262020319 For years, I have prided myself on being a perfectionist. Now I pride myself on courageously living from my heart & showing up as me. The truth is, perfectionism is really just fear. Fear of not being good enough, fear of failing, fear of not being loved, and the list goes on. In reality, being “perfect” is just an illusion and not to mention impossible!! Rather than striving to be perfect, strive to be you. Strive to try. Give yourself permission to explore, to learn, to fall, to trip – to do anything you need to, to live your best life. I invite you to scan your life and see where you are holding yourself back from doing, starting, sharing, or having something because you don’t feel 100% safe or confident yet? What is one baby step you can take? Now- Go for it!! 🙌✨🤗
Instagram post 2156182179961146401_3262020319 We have had a few people curious about what ‘success’ means to our group Successful Healthy Wealthy & Wise Lesbians. ✨ I believe that success is living from the principles of your heart. True inner happiness & success is listening to your heart, trusting it’s wisdom & then acting on what it is saying. I believe that you can have BOTH inner & outer freedom and success, and I also believe that it’s important to value your journey and what is important to you. What is your definition of success?? ✨✨✨
Instagram post 2152528183861536364_3262020319 #happynationalcomingoutday 🏳️‍🌈This time 10 years ago, I shared with someone for the first time that I think I might be a lesbian. This counsellor told me that I wasn’t gay & tried to convince me how I would be happier with a boyfriend. At first I was pissed that she said that. How would she know if I was gay or not. And what was so bad about being a lesbian anyways? Why couldn’t I be me? I wanted to be me! I was ready to be ME!! And then it dawned on me... I had been doing the same thing all those years. It wasn’t until I heard it out loud, from someone else, that I realized how silly it sounded. For years I had rejected myself for being a lesbian and wanted nothing more than to be someone else. This experience was the kick in the butt from the Universe that I needed for me to start living from my heart and loving who I am. That day literally changed my life forever! It was that conversation and moment, that gave me the courage to take the next steps in my coming out journey and being open to accepting myself for being me. Although I knew that coming out was going to be scary as hell, I also knew that it was going to be a billion times scarier going on pretending to be someone I was not. A lot has happened over those 10 years and I am SO grateful for all of it!! Embracing being out & loving being you is the best gift you can give to yourself & others!! Wherever you are on your journey just know that you are so loved and that you are NOT alone!! 🏳️‍🌈💜🙏
Instagram post 2151853060368658670_3262020319 Are you trying to be liked or loved? When your intention is to be ‘liked’ this is a dangerous place to be because you’re relying on people around you to give you your value. When your aim is to be loved, it’s a much safer place to be. When you are loved you are valuing and embracing ALL of who you are. Where in your life are you looking to be liked? How can you shift this and aim to be loved instead? “Love is wanting the best for another while respecting your own needs.”
