I didn't want to do this


“Okay, wow this is long.”
“Why am I asking so many questions?”
“Oh. My. God. I can’t even. This is a lot.

This was the running commentary that I narrated to my husband as I… completed my own intake form for a Strategy Roadmap.

I generally advise that clients carve out about 45 minutes to an hour to complete it.

It took me well over an hour and three different sittings to get it done.

Because I did not want to do it.

I knew that I was going to kick off Personal Business by auditing Slow & Steady… Using the same frameworks that I use on my clients for me and my business.

Easy peasy, right?

I put off completing the intake form. I put off looking at my responses.

I definitely put off recording a podcast episode about it. And then when I did? I had such a vulnerability hangover that I recorded it a second time.

Because it was really hard to look so closely at my business and face the somewhat difficult truths that there are gaps, cracks and fissures in my own foundations, marketing and energy.

The biggest thing that is standing between me and the success that I desire?

Well, you’ll have to tune in to this week’s episode to find out.

And if you’re curious to take a peek at Slow & Steady’s Strategy Roadmap, you can flip through it right here.

Until next time, go slow and stay steady.
