Thinking on screen
My needle movers are:
1. writing and sharing it (blog/substack, newsletter)
2. reaching out to people (calls, sending messages)
3. recording and posting videos (youtube)
Writing is the thing that I love and have to thank for many opportunities in my life. But it takes a lot of time, and then I don’t start (but once I start, I am in the flow)
Reaching out to people is something that fillls me up, it makes me feel so wealthy. But I can hold myself back, thinking I need to do more, prepare more, get more stuff ready before I can reach out.
Recording and posting videos is something that is my growth edge. My thoughts are much more structured in written word. So I practice in hopes that with time I am going to be better at expressing what I want to convey with speaking as well. It’s something where I feel like with languages – you don’t speak the language well, but you are going to improve with speaking it. And at the same time I can hold myself back, because I know I am not so good at it.
These are all the things I enjoy and that will bring me more business and get my message out.
And then is work like edits on website, business admin work, reflection, energy work, inner work, that I sometimes kinda do too much of, and I am putting off the needle movers.
And I realised that yeah, how I go about it all can be really ADD style. Or is it most of the time, despite daily structures I have (that allow me to live a high quality life, taking care of my body and mind, taking care of my (handicapped) dog, having quality relationships and fun)
Instead of beating myself up about it, I choose to remember, that I am doing it perfectly. 🧁
I have many tabs open when it comes to business, and I kinda want to them all. And I jump in between.
But I also do the things. And I choose to acknowledge the part of me that get things done and appreciate the things I do get done. (“Let them move, let them expand, let them breathe”, as a wise woman named Kira said).
I kinda need to hold the duality of a part of me in need of healing that is beating me up with “You don’t do enough. Or at least you don’t do enough of the right things,” and the part of me that trusts my timing, sees my progress, actually feels really freaking good everyday because I am actually finally giving a lot of attention, thoughts, energy and action to my business.
Whoa, I almost forgot that part of working for yourself, where you are one person switching between roles and going cuckoo. 😀
Thanks for letting me think on screen here.
What I am concluding is that I need to put on a visible space what are my needle movers and what are supporting tasks and prioritise accordingly while allowing myself flexibility by checking in daily what might be a needle mover for that day. Or that moment.
You can now subscribe on Substack for more. For now all posts are free. Perhaps it’s going to stay that way. There is also a paid community in the making (I think I priced it around 15€/month), in which we will on monthly (or biweekly) talk about important stuff, network, do fun stuff, do some coaching and self-coaching exercises, get insights and confidence to fucking change the world for the better. I know you have good ideas. And are already doing it. Want to become a first member? It’s going to start the movement (hopefully).
