Doing Everything at Once is a Recipe for Disaster!

🤯 When it comes to implementing change, one of the major mistakes I see other moms in business making is trying to change everything overnight! ​
​
🤑 Part of the reason is seeing all the success stories of those we see around us and thinking that their success also just magically happened. This simply doesn’t happen! In fact, according to serial entrepreneur and marketing author Seth Godin “most overnight successes take about six years of hard work to happen.” ​

​
🥵 What does this look like? Building a website, an online course, in person networking, being active daily on 4 different social media channels, committing to a 21 day challenge, while also on-boarding new clients, hiring someone and making the move to finally start that diet and exercise program.​
​
🤦‍♀️ I’ve been there, and bottom line, the 0-100 overnight change is really not the way to go. It’s not sustainable. A short-term strategy that lacks focus. Plus, it’s more than a bit exhausting!​

💣 Short sprints of energetic posts/marketing efforts/production​
💣 Burnout / Social Media overload​
💣 Feeling like a failure​
💣 Little-mediocre business results​
​
👉 What every business owner (especially us moms) should be doing instead is going for the 𝟭% 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲. This concept was popluarized by James Clear in Atomic Habits which is literally one of my all-time favorites. I’ve read it cover-to-cover 3x, listened to the audio and it was one of the handful of books that physically made it into my suitcase for our world travel. Yep, I’m a fan 🤓​
​
🍰 The 1% approach holds that we shouldn’t ​ try to change everything at once, but rather small, bite-sized chunks that lead to massive change over time! A recipe for success instead of disaster!​
