Birthday Thoughts & Reflections

Let’s take a minute to discuss how I'm entering this new year of life.

Hi all! So today is my birthday (woot!). I love reflecting on the past year: the experiences I’ve had, my growth, and the lessons I’ve learned. As I spend this day resting, reflecting, and thanking God for a new year, I want to take it back to a few years ago around this same time.

I was going through many life transitions at once: the main one was that I wasn’t satisfied with my current role and decided to leave and transition into a more creative field. Now, not having a job in one of the most expensive places in the country was definitely not something I took lightly. However, during this time I learned so much about myself, my grit, and what I could do. Ultimately, I landed on my feet and the seeds planted during that time are blooming to this day. 

The same way I felt then, I feel now. Yet, with more wisdom, more clarity, more purpose. I don’t know what the future holds, but what I do know is that I found my groove. I know I put in the hours. I know that I’m really excited about what I’m creating. I know that I feel steady, solid, and sure. 

Nothing is perfect, and I’ll have my low moments. But as long as I:

Live.
Create. 
Tell the Story.
Repeat.

I’ll find my way.

Never lose your sense of wonder — read voraciously, ask questions, ponder insights, people watch, question your beliefs, unpack ideas, tinker with things, meet new people, explore new cultures and look to always learn. Stay endlessly curious, be interested in life.

Building in public is the biggest cheat code to building authority, increasing your lead flow and creating influence in your space.

Want to change your life? Learn sales. It's the key to everything. Before you can sell a product, you have to sell the solution. Then, you sell your vision. This is how you add value.

P.S.: What do I want for my birthday? That one thing you have been thinking about or wanting to try: take a small, actionable step towards it. You’ll be surprised what can happen once you start.
