The Only Way Youll Stop Being Scared of Your Dream Business - When I Grow Up

The Only Way Youll Stop Being Scared of Your Dream Business - When I Grow Up There it is: Your Dream Business. It lives in your head. Even if you dont know exactly  what it looks like, it still feels like utopia when you let yourself go to there. In that business, you feel free. Alive. Authentic. Fulfilled. Passionate. You smile 24/7 and heart emojis escape from your chest. Your radiate light as bright as the sun. The unicorns dance and it rains glitter and the birds live on your shoulder, singing their sweet bird-song. And yet: youre still at your cubicle, dealing with abusive bosses and/or incompetent colleagues, not giving a lick about the work youre doing over  2,000 hours/year. Sundays are full of anxiety, knowing a new workweek is looming. You live for Fridays, and wished Saturdays could last forever. You take no action on bringing that dream business into reality. You dont know how. It feels overwhelming at best and totally improbable and ridiculous at worst. Oh sure, you might have a product in an Etsy shop or a lackluster blog, but you and I both know that is you half-assing it, keeping yourself safe. Good news: I have your solution! Its true. I totes know what its going to take to  actually make your business dreams come true. I know the secret sauce of how youll feel confident launching your business, the trust youll feel in the big risk you want to take. Ya ready? Get excited. Here it is: Time + Experience = Trust. Wah-wah. Did this feel deflating? I know it can be, because its certainly not a shortcut. The one and only way to feel like you  can do this quit your day job and be an entrepreneur that can make a grown-up living doing work she loves is to get experience each and every day. Get experience putting up a website. Get experience crafting an offer and writing a sales page. Get experience sending out a newsletter. Get experience working with clients or handling customers. Get experience talking about how you serve your people. Get experience knowing who your ideal clients  are. Get experience learning how  you work best, both internally within your own structure and externally with your customers, delivering the best results and leading to referrals. Get experience showing up for your business your dream! most days. Then rinse, and repeat. For years, if youre lucky. If youre committed. If you just cant see yourself doing anything else. I can hear your excuse, though:  But I dont know where to start and I dont want to get it wrong. You can really exhale now, because I got you.
