LEAP 🙏 // Taking a leap of faith
REPOSTED from my YOU CAN Newsletter
Hello my InspoPeeps!
When I was 27, I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own marketing consulting business. I had no idea what I was doing, how to write a contract, how to do taxes, or really anything that would look like having a business of my own. What I did know is how to treat a client. How to listen, act and execute their needs. I’m inherently a doer so it was easy for me to take this approach. I’m also very strong-willed and have a way of earning trust quickly to help clients try new things. 😉
So, as I sit here 27 years later looking back on all the amazing things I’ve been a part of, I wonder what the next chapter has in store for me. 🤔
For the last 18 years my work has mainly focused on high tech, and it's changed dramatically. AI is wiping out whole departments, and I’ve watched it happen before my eyes. It’s created this warp speed mentality (BTW: high tech was already fast paced before AI took over) where producing content is often more important than asking the right questions first. I get it, you have to compete for attention in this world. But it’s becoming slop and it’s exhausting. It's not because people are lazy, it's because the speed in which you have to complete tasks is faster than the deadline you're given.
I’m at a point in my life where I’m ready to take another leap of faith and teach people my YOU CAN Method, a philosophy I’ve lived and breathed my whole life. I’ve taught this to my friends, my family, and my co-workers. I’ve done this on stage, in conference rooms and on podcasts. It’s who I am and it’s time I turned this into a formalized business to help people reach their full potential without fear. It’s what gives me great joy and purpose. I love working in groups, on stage, podcast interviews, in some cases 1:1 coaching, and online.
For over 30 years I’ve been grinding in the corporate world. 27 of those have been on my own with my marketing consulting business. I’ve landed huge clients and have lost them. I’ve worked on amazing projects and have had them ripped away without notice. I’ve planned and orchestrated large events, as well as go-to-market strategies. I’ve been blessed to have traveled the world doing some of this work, too. Through all of it, I've always been a team player and found a way to make things happen no matter how challenging the deadline and asks were. It’s just who I am.
The older I get, the more I realize that I’ve been teaching (what I call)“The YOU CAN Method” my entire adult life. Who knows, maybe I did it as a kid without knowing, too. 🤩 The fact is, I’m owning this method and I want to formally teach this to anyone who will listen. It’s not about a fluffy, inspirational speech. It’s about taking action through forward movement. No matter the battle, no matter the struggle, no matter what chapter of life you’re in.
I talk a lot about reframing and it’s something that helps this method become actionable. It’s a simple way of giving your brain an attitude adjustment. 😉 It’s about using words to create the outcome you want. It’s about shifting your mind to believe the potential already within you. It’s so simple yet the hard part is committing to it. You have to put in the reps to change the way you think so you’re always focused on the outcomes you want. By doing this you are changing the neuro pathways of your brain and the more you do it, the easier it gets.
