I’m not sure I remember the last time I’ve said this to myself. But I remember vividly hearing it in childbirth! “Come on Kathy, just one more push and that beautiful little girl will be here!!!
Sorry if that’s gross to you! But it describes perfectly how I’ve felt the past couple of weeks.
I ‘voluntarily’ signed up for the ROPP TRIPLETT Business Plan Competition put on by the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs.
I knew that entering this competition would hold me accountable to intentionally looking at what needs to happen in my business.
I knew that I needed a deadline for getting it done so I could get on with the work of Green Hope Coaching.
I knew I needed a challenge that inspired me to be the best I could be.
Well, final presentations were this week. For the last two weeks, I just kept saying, ” Just ONE MORE PUSH Kathy! Give it all you’ve got just a little bit longer. You are almost there!”
So I did!
One more session of working through my customer analysis.
One more late night considering my marketing plan.
One more dig into the key trends of the coaching industry.
One more afternoon printing, and hole punching and organizing pages for the presentation.
One more practice run in giving my presentation.
ONE. MORE. PUSH!
And it’s done! This baby has been born. The dream of Green Hope Coaching now has more strategic planning and structure to it than I ever imagined. It is beautiful! Win or lose in the competition- my business and I have won!
Was it hard! Oh yes!
Would I do it again! I am pretty sure I will- different place- different topic- but I will challenge my self to the hard stuff again.
Why? Because I KNOW what I want to be about now more than ever. Not just my business, but ME- Kathy Burrus.
I want to influence people- to intentionally design HOPE in life, love and loss!
How about it? Ready to look at your life- and aim for your dream?
All it takes is ONE. MORE. PUSH! to get started!
(P.S. We won’t know the results of the competition for a few days yet. But…I’m not waiting around. I’ve got work to do!)
