Episdoe 65: Launching Something New

How do you know it's time to start something new in your business? Or…how do you know when to start? Typically, for me it's when I get this feeling of discomfort. I get so uncomfortable, I can't stay in the same place. Pause and reflect. Where are you feeling discomfort right now? What are some skills unique to you that can help you address this problem and how can you take that to others to help them address this problem in their lives as well? This might me in your personal life, business, or community. Think about how you can make this better with action steps. The process of getting into the nitty gritty can take a long time, or it can be rushed through. When you are smaller and newer you can be nimble, the bigger you get the more time you need to allow to follow the steps. I would encourage you to make sure your idea is not just a good idea to yourself, a good resource for this is the book "Building a Story Brand" by Donald Miller. Reach out to others in your potential market. Don't get too caught up in the details. I prefer to launch at 70 percent. Lastly, make sure you have a distinct time period where you are talking everyday about your particular product. Sweat Inspire Sisterhood Commercial Sugar cookies, adult beverages, and potatoes…oh my! In my 20s I thought the time between Thanksgiving and New Year were for two things: indulging on the weekends and then limiting caloric intake throughout the week. Then when I flipped into the New Year, I'd plan to lose all the weight I had gained and really get my life on track. Not surprisingly…that didn't work. It was only when I learned about proper nutrition approach from my fitness coach Erika Hermsen that I was finally able to work WITH my body during the holiday season (and shocker: it doesn't involve indulging OR restriction, just balance!) Her weekly grocery lists, meal plans, and delicious healthy recipes help me balance my macros (aka: carbs, proteins, and fats) so that I can stay on track with my goals while eating foods that don't make me feel like I'm on a diet. What I love about Erika's programs is that the nutrition education and recipes also come with daily live workouts and access to her app with 1000+ prerecorded workouts. So whether you like lifting weights or running on the treadmill, 7-minute booty burners or 50-minute sweat sessions, you can find something you are interested in that fits YOUR schedule. AND you are surrounded in support by Erika, her team of coaches, and 600+ other women who are working alongside you and cheering you on to your goals. If you want to experience the Sweat Inspire Sisterhood community this season, head to sweatinspiresisterhood.com/smallminded to get started with her 7-day free trial and get an all-access pass to her sisterhood membership for FREE! You'll also get added to her email list with exclusive freebies each week AND information about her upcoming Drop 10 program that helps you lose 10 pounds or 10 inches in just 12 weeks…trust me, it works and the next round starts January 3. That's sweatinspiresisterhood.com/smallminded for 7 days of workouts, healthy recipes, encouragement, motivation, friendship, and fitness, at absolutely no cost to you.
