Starting Something New is Hard
How do you know if it's worth it while you’re in the thick of it?
I love learning, and I love growing.
That's not to say I like the learning and growing process.
It's one thing to walk away from a situation or scenario and take some zen from it, being grateful that you had the experience and maybe taking a learning lesson or two from it.
I do that nearly every day, especially after the more challenging days or experiences, like when my motorcycle broke down on a jungle road the other day in the blazing Malaysian sun.
It's completely different to dive head-first into a new project or venture that you are absolutely clueless about. Those come with much less charm and moments of appreciation.
They are usually filled with frustration, overwhelm, and curse words.
That’s where I’m at right now.
And I have been here for months.
I’m currently working on several new projects- all in arenas that I know well and love- travel, personal development, and spirituality. The problem I’m having is figuring out how to take all of the decades of lessons, knowledge, wisdom, heartbreaks, and failures, and put it all together for someone else to not only be able to understand but to learn something and take something valuable from.
I’ve been called to teach, and share, and use my words to impact others. And that is my biggest driving force in all this- making a positive change.
Not just existing.
In the process of figuring out how to share what I know and love, I am having to learn how to build websites, how to code, how to use SEO and do all kinds of other things that I not only don't understand, but I don't particularly love.
Or even like really.
I also need to figure out what my USP is, and what people really want that I can provide them with.
Who’s your target audience? Which problem are you solving for them?
I honestly have no idea.
Its exciting and scary and Im not sure what’s next or if this is all going to be worth it. I mean, everything…
