NOT THE EXPERT

I've got a secret. I need to tell it to you for fear that you will one day figure me out, hit unsubscribe and run for the hills. 

I'M NOT AN EXPERT

There, I said it. Phew! Now you can freely make your choices on if you are here for the long haul or not. I've started 4 companies in the past 17 years. Like, my own, from the ground up, companies. It took me 1 year and 7 months into my third (yes THIRD) company to call myself and entrepreneur. That is straight up crazy pants. And if I'm being honest, I didn't even say it out loud to anyone for months after that. I sneakily put it up on my LinkedIn page. Why do we wait to "feel" like an expert before telling anyone what we are up to? I'm done with that. Like, if you started a business - you are an entrepreneur #fact. 

Okay, I have another secret... I don't care to be the expert. I just want to help people create their dream life and normalize the conversation about making money while doing so. I read the most freeing quote yesterday by Denise Duffied-Thomas author of Chillpreneur - “As soon as I gave myself permission to contribute to the conversation about women and money, and not have to be a guru or expert on it, my business became fun”. 

P O W E R F U L !

Let's just let go of the pressure, okay? Think about how many more people you can help if you just contribute what you've got. What you've already learned. You don't have to be the expert, you just need to be one chapter ahead. 

I feel lighter already.
