I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go . Well , hello there , gorgeous . Today I want to talk to you about that thing that is in the back of your mind , that you constantly hear over and over and over again the thing that you're meant to do .
The majority of women that come to me , my ideal clients , they are people who maybe have a full-time job , but it's like the thing that they do to make money , but it doesn't light their soul on fire , right , like it basically puts the fire out .
But there's always something in the back of their mind , the thing that they could do effortlessly , the thing that they just love to do and the thing that just gives them energy , and whether that happens to be something like party planning or creating crafts , like making crafts and selling them in a craft store , or it's supporting someone in some way .
It's interior design , it's decorating , it's no matter what it is , writing a book , no matter what it is . There's that thing that's in the back of your mind saying wouldn't this be fun ? Wouldn't it just be fun to have a ton of money and just be able to do this all day long ? That's what I do for fun . That's what I do that makes me money .
We all have that thing in the back of our minds that it's just like , yes , I could do this , I could do this . Wouldn't this be fun ? But what happens is we get that feeling , that thought , and it's nagging .
It's like , oh my gosh , you know when you had little kids and you're trying to cook and they're pulling on your pant leg , like this is like the dream , this is like the gifts you were given from God , and God going hey , I'm pulling on your fucking pant leg . It's something that you'll never let go . But here's the thing .
What trips us up is the overthinking that happens after we have that thought . We are continually going to overthink . We are continually going to shit on our dream and find all of the pitfalls and all of the reasons why it won't work , even if we start our business . We are overthinking the magic out of it .
We push ourselves through to maybe start this business , but it's like , okay , well , what do I need we create ? We're like future casting . We're creating problems in the future and trying to solve for them . Now what ends up happening is this is like a paralysis button that you just hit it . You just hit the button and nothing fucking happens .
You're just paralyzed by this overthinking , over planning , need to see all of the pitfalls in advance . But here's the thing the things that we worry about probably mostly never happen . The things that we plan for in advance never happen . When I first started my business , I remember there was one coach that I had .
She said you never create the course or the membership or the everything . You never create it all before you sell it . And I remember thinking that is stressful as hell . But what's interesting was that if you create it before you sell it , you create like every single time . I did this because I didn't listen to her , because it was too scared me .
So if you create it before you sell it , and then you start selling the thing , and then you start having conversations with people and then you start listening to them , and the more that you take action , the more fine tuning you create like , the more you fine tune your offer .
All of a sudden , by the time you do sell it , or by the time you've started to sell the thing , you realize what you created could be tweaked to be even better . Having sort of an idea of what you want to do and how you would do it , and then just taking action .
Action is the only way out of overthinking , but we think we overthinking is , you know , going to help us not fail . Well , it won't . Overthinking the magic out of it . A takes the fucking magic out of it , and B is a surefire way to delay any progress that you will make . You just got to take action .
If I'm talking to a client of mine and they say to me okay , sandra , I want to do this , I want to create this course , I want to create this membership , this is what I'm thinking , this is how you know I'm going to market it . What do you think I'm going to say ? Let's try and see .
All we need to do is try it , see what happens , adjust if we need to or , if it works , do it more . We spent a ton of time just wanting to be perfect at the end . But , like it never , ever , ever is , business is about trial and fucking error . Trial and error . That's it Today , like .
Just try something , take one step towards that thing that has been nagging you pulling on your pant leg . Just one thing and see what happens . Thank you so much for listening . I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of .
