When my business was just starting out I signed up to an awesome year long business incubator. 🤩

The amount of resources provided was incredible. There were several weekly calls ranging from social media guidance to mindset tips and tricks. There was a Facebook group full of other incredible female business owners. 🙌

But there was just one problem. 🤨 

For the perfectionist in me it was too much. 😜

I wanted to do ALL the stuff. Fill in ALL the worksheets. Do ALL the exercises. Listen to ALL the recordings. Go to ALL of the calls. ☎️ 

It quickly got to be overwhelming and I procrastinated, not knowing what to do next.

About 3months in the host made an announcement. She was pretty upset and visibly uncomfortable as she went live. She explained that due to some big changes in her personal life she could no longer support the current format and was making changes.

The container changed from 12months to 90days and the calls reduced from about 5 or 6 to 1 a week. She apologised profusely, offered refunds to anyone who wanted them and repeatedly said how worried she was about letting people down. 😌

But you know what, for me, it was the best thing ever. The changes allowed me to go from overwhelm and stagnation to taking consistent action in a way that felt amazing and super fun to be in a smaller group of incredible women. It’s by far the best investment I’ve ever made in business. 🤓

And so I share this to let you know that it’s totally ok to change your mind! More than that, sometimes the thing that feels like a bad outcome for us, that we hold back from doing, or feel a bit sick at the thought of, actually works out as a really good outcome for the person on the receiving end.

It might be making drastic changes to your 12month business programme or it might be cancelling arrangements with a friend.
