9 THINGS I KNOW: How Instagram Starting Running My Life and the 8 Other Things Getting me Unstuck and Moving in Business

2 years ago Instagram was no more than a public, digital photo album. Then, I quit corporate, started a business with a big concept and wider audience reach, and suddenly Instagram was running my life, dictating my emotions, and determining my self worth! WHAT??? The need to put Instagram back in its rightful place is one of the 9 Things I know. These are the 9 THINGS I meditated upon, wrote down, and spoke out loud in this episode in order to do 3 things: 1) release their hold on my psyche; 2) regain my power over these areas; and 3) break the pattern keeping me stuck, confused, and frustrated as a new entrepreneur. **Regardless of whether you are an entrepreneur or business owner, if you are trying to do something new, something different, or build something, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!!!!!** HERE ARE THE 9 THINGS: 1. JUST MOVE. Do it. Say it. Write it. . . . Say it. Do it. Write it. . . . KEEP MOVING. The right answer is action. The wrong answer is inaction. 2. STOP PLANNING, REFINING, and DOING PRELIMINARIES. I could make a whole career out of planning for the thing, but never doing the thing. Tweaking, proofing, refining, editing . . . but never offering, selling, or putting myself out there. This is not a sustainable business model. Being stuck in the preliminaries is a business death sentence. It's time to address it head on. 3. IMPERFECTION IS NOT A DISQUALIFIER. In fact, it is the opposite. IMPERFECTION IS MY ONLY QUALIFIER. Moving in my messy, imperfect, incomplete humanness is the ONLY WAY IN. The ONLY WAY FORWARD. Perfection keeps me locked out because I am waiting on, preparing for, agitating myself about, something that DOES NOT EXIST. Case in point. This podcast was minimally edited. I did not stop and rephrase anything. I let the tape roll . . . 4. INSTAGRAM IS AN APP. Allowing Instagram to dictate my emotions, self-worth, sense of success or lack thereof (especially when viewed by short-term numbers, reactions, and engagement) is BONKERS. Instagram is a piece of software that has a place in business, but if I continue to allow it too much power over my mind, emotions, and actions, it is using me and it must the other way around. I either USE Instagram or not at all. 5. STOP EVALUATING EVERYTHING IN THE SHORT TERM. This is a small-minded, narrowly-focused, and debilitating way to do business. I have to build a foundation. Make a plan. Be consistent. Then put my head down and grind for THREE YEARS. At the end of those three years, I will then allow myself to look up and see how we're doing. I even put this date on my calendar. 6. SUCCESS IS ACHIEVABLE. It is not a complex mystery, a special club I haven't been invited to, a secret language I cannot decipher. Success is not the formidable, mystical mountain I have made it into. If I follow the 9 things laid out here, I'll get there. I'll find it. I will figure it out. 7. I DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF. Spending a fortune of my own billable and creative time is not wise or sustainable. I need to break my addiction to doing things myself. Chances are when I am struggling to figure out something, there is someone else out there who knows how to do it, and I can call them, and pay them every penny they are worth to come and help me. I just need to ask for help. I need to remember I CAN ask for help. Help is allowed. 8. APPLY PRESSURE. This might be the actual key to making the rest of this list real. Set a date, tell people who will keep you accountable, sell tickets, put some money down on the venue. Pull the trigger. Make the pressure real, tangible, and consequential. And then, just go. 9. DON'T STOP MOVING. Literally. Dance is what brought me to a place of freedom. It showed me where I was not free, and lit a fire in me to make myself free. It showed me who I am and what I want. It's why I left the corporate world. It's why I started this business and this podcast. But I've been moving in business while neglecting the embodiment practice that brought me here. NO WONDER I AM STUCK. Moving my body = moving in business. That is the math. WHAT WOULD YOU ADD TO THIS LIST?? WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW???
