How to Stop Feeling Behind and Start Making Progress!

← Back to all posts

The Summary!

(if you don't want to read the whole thing!)

You’re not behind—you’re being prepared. The hard stuff is shaping you into someone who can hold the success you’re building.
Drop the false timeline. Trust your path and shift from “I’m behind” to “I’m right on time.”
Write a “proof list” of past delays that turned out better than expected—it trains your brain to believe this moment is one of them.
I share the moment I almost didn’t post vulnerably about being $35K in debt—but I did it anyway, and it changed everything.
Confidence doesn’t come first—action does. You’re more ready than you think. Move anyway!

↗️ SHIFT OF THE WEEK:

You are not behind. You are being prepared!

One of the biggest lies the mind tells us is that we're "behind."

BEHIND where we should be.

BEHIND where others are.

.... BEHIND some made up timeline we've invented in our heads!

BUT.....what if you're not behind at all?

What if you're just being shaped?!

Success isn't just about the actions you take. It's about becoming the version of you who can HOLD it!

And that means going through the hard, shitty stuff.

Facing your fears and choosing courage over comfort!

This week, try shifting from, "I'm behind" to "I'm on time."

And TRUST the pace of your own path! Remember - someone else's highlight reel has NOTHING to do with your journey! It might be hard to alway see this, but out there somewhere, is someone who wishes they were where you already are!

So let's run our own race and stay in our own lanes!

⭐ Write a proof list! Grab your notebook and a pen and think of 2-3 times in your life where things DIDN'T go according to your timeline, but they ended up working out even better then you expected. Then ask yourself, "What if THIS moment right now is just another one of those?"

This helps your brain build EVIDENCE that you are ON time and that detours can still leaad to AMAZING destinations!

🗣️ REAL TALK MOMENT:

The truth about when I ALMOST didn't show up.......

Years ago, when I was just starting to grow my online business, I remember staring at my laptop for an hour before pressing the "post" button on Facebook.

I had just written a very vulnerable post, sharing that we were in 35K of credit card debt, had completely depleted our savings account and were sinking by over 1K a month since I had resigned from teaching to be a stay at home mom.

Going down to ONE income is no joke! But the point of that post was to share where I currently was and that my goal with that first business was to completely reverse all that debt and be financially free.

My hand was literally shaking and my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest!

I kept overthinking if I should share it or not. Some of the thoughts that raced through my mind:

"What would people think of me?"

"Do I sound stupid?"

"Will anyone even care?"

"What if I don't actually turn my financial situation around with this business?"

Honestly, it felt safer to not post anything at all!

I started to think, "Maybe I should wait until I achieve all the success first before sharing how screwed we are."

.... I posted it anyway.

But that moment taught me something important: the FEAR never goes away entirely. You just get better at moving through it.

That post didn't change my life overnight, but it WAS a turning point because I stopped waiting to feel confident and started acting with courage instead!

And guess what?

The confidence came AFTER the action - it always does!

So if you've been hiding, second guessing or holding back, this is your reminder that imperfect action is better then invisible perfection.

You are more ready than you think!
