Are weedy thoughts choking what you want to grow?

We're heading into winter soon so wanna tell this story real quick while it's still relevant.

So...Once a week the lawn people come and mow my yard.

And right after they mow, everything looks so good, and even, and level...

But by the next morning, inevitably, a weed has shot up out of nowhere.

How do they come up so fast? 

It's truly maddening.

In fact, I put grass seed down earlier this year wanting to grow a nice lush carpet of green, and that was a complete failure.

(Of course, I didn't tend to it as instructed and that's totally on me.)

But weeds, man? They certainly don't need any help.

Just like in life and business, right?

We're always getting weeds that pop up faster and easier than the grass that we're trying to grow. 

(⬇️ Btw, watch instead of reading, or read on below.)

So I want to encourage you think about that with regard to your business or life. Or even (or especially) your mind.

Are your thoughts like weeds? Choking out the good stuff you're trying to grow?

The temptation is to be like, oh well, it'll be fine.

Or maybe you just don't have time or the energy to deal with your weeds right now.

Or maybe they're the type of weeds you even want to embrace.

But most weeds...we're gonna want or need to pull them out eventually.

And when you do, you're gonna wanna try to get it by the root.

Because if you don't get the root? That weed's gonna be back shortly.

But if you can't get the root...don't give up. Pull out the part you can see for now, and just keep after it.

So -

  • What weeds do you need to pull in your life and biz?
  • Are there things you've allowed to grow unchecked, too long?
  • Is there grass you've been SO focused on growing that you haven't even noticed all the weeds choking it out?

 

So anyway, wanted to leave you with that today. I hope you're:

A) Noticing the weeds
B) Pulling them out (by the root if you can)
C) Paying attention to whether there are areas in your life where you need grass to grow.

And then do something about that.

If you need help with any of that, please reach out.

I'd love to hear about weeds you're pulling, or grass you're growing. 

Love doing life with you,
Dawn

She had to pivot (fast)
Happy summer!  I know, I know—we're right in the thick of July, so you're probably thinking, “Dawn, girl, we've been here...get caught up.” But we just kicked off the third quarter, and let’s be honest: Q3 landing smack in the middle of summer is a perfect storm. If you have kids, they’re home from school or running off to camps. You’re unpacking from one vacation or frantically packing for the...
Routines, turmoil, and clean sheets
Have you ever been the person who thought every single week was supposed to look exactly the same? If I just vacuum on Monday... If I just make those 15 biz dev phone calls on Tuesday... If I always see my chiropractor the third Wednesday of the month... (By the way, I see my chiropractor on Mondays. I am absolutely this person—I love a good schedule and a solid routine.)  But what happens duri...
Who ya gonna call?
If you grew up anywhere near the 80s or 90s, you hear that phrase and your mind instantly goes to one place. It’s fun, it's iconic, it's nostalgic. When a surge of spectral activity overwhelmed NYC in the mid-80s, everyday citizens and businesses needed a specialized crew to help. When you needed a ghost expert...you called Ghostbusters. They were a trusted resource. (Okay, they were the only r...
