You can’t create anything new unless you make space for it.
Making space is a messy, uncomfortable but necessary task.
It will feel like your whole world is disintegrating and your business will be in pieces.
You will have no idea which parts will remain and which will be swept away.
In the moment it’s not the highlight of your entrepreneurial journey but it is your invitation to walk through the fire which will see you turning vision into reality. In hindsight, you will see it for what it is. The turning point. You will look back on that split second when you made the decision as the defining moment of your success.
You will wonder why you ever hesitated or doubted your path. Because on this side of the fire, it is so damn obvious.
But at this moment in time, you are still on the other side of the fire and it feels pretty daunting.
What does the decision to move look like?
It’s not doubling down on your plan to make it happen, that’s for certain.
The seed of the decision lies in your willingness to look within. That’s where all the answers are.
The things that make you wriggle in discomfort, the things that spark joy within you, the shadows that block out the light when you least want them to appear, the anticipation and excitement of doing what lights you up, they all live within you. They show up in your business in all sorts of ways. Some create opportunities, some create challenges; the secret is to follow the first and address the second.
You do that by going within. The answer is never outside of you.
It takes courage and determination to go within and accept what you find.
If indecision has you in its grasp right now, it is your preparation for the leap. But you don't have to wait for the perfect time to come round. It won't.
When you decide the time has come, you will turn your gaze within and that’s when you will need help. None of us was ever meant to take these journeys alone.
You will need focus, guidance, moral support, a space to release the energy that was waiting for you and some objectivity to turn what you find into the resources to fuel your journey.
What you find within, amongst the wreckage of the old, will give you what you need to build the new.
