This isn’t a long post… or a fancy post…it’s a really very simple post. Someone asked me the other day “How long have you been doing this? Really? 7 Years? That’s a long time!”. Yes, I agree! Seven years is a long time to shoot every weekend from April to November and blog every weekday and constantly think of things to teach and share. Seven years is a lot of emails, a lot of late nights and a lot of hard work. But you know what’s even MORE work… doing it for TEN years.
Today’s post is honoring two women in my life that have been inspiring long before I started. Jasmine and Mary have been creating, inspiring and leading for years. When I started, I looked to them… when I started teaching, I looked to them… when I started speaking, I looked to them. And yet somehow, there are days when I feel like I’m all out of stuff. Some days my motivation, creativity and inspiring content is just gone and then I remember these two.
Just this week, Jasmine blogged a genius marketing idea that involves instagram and connecting with vendors and Mary shook the internet world with her empowering post about overcoming comparison! Every time I think that I have nothing left to offer… every time I start believing the lie that my good ideas have run out… I remember these two. Their hard work and passion for the industry is inspiring and they will forever be my go-to girls for that extra kick-in-the-butt! So if you’re feeling like you’re at the end of your rope… you’re not. There are people that have been fighting the fight just a little bit longer and they are proof that you’re not done yet.
So go conqueror this weekend… do what you do! Do it WELL! …. And remember that there is always someone behind you… you may be someone’s Jasmine or Mary! :)
PS. On a slightly unrelated note, we have a few seats left for next week’s live COME TOGETHER event on JUNE 11th that we’re hosting with Amy and Jordan Demos!! We’re SO EXCITED about this!
