Why It Takes So Long To Find Your People

For 6 years - I thought if I just…

  • Read more

  • Write more

  • DO more

…I’ll be successful in my hobbies, business, and whatever projects I want to pursue.

But I was missing a piece I’m almost embarrassed to admit now…

People. Being around the right people.

This year, I’ve leaned into finding “my people”

  • Speaking community

  • Writing community

  • Parter/family/friends/co-workers who are working on their own projects

And wow my business, purpose, happiness, and excitement for my projects has accelerated like crazy!

For the 1st time - I feel like I have really strong supporters, collaborators, and people who get it!

For the 1st time - I feel like I’m not going at it alone.

But why did this take so long to find?

For me - it’s been 3 things:

  1. Didn’t always have clarity on what I wanted to do - so I didn’t know who to look for

  2. I was sometimes scared to bring up my idea - so I didn’t always give people the opportunity to connect or support me

  3. I didn’t always identify as an entrepreneur, speaker, writer - so I felt like an imposter showing up in those spaces.

But maybe we don’t have to know what we want to do. We just have an itch or a half baked idea.

Maybe it’s ok to be scared.

Maybe we don’t have to BE anything.

Because we’re all just trying to figure it out, right?!
