“Happy Friday wonderful women! How are we all?”
This is the text that I get regularly from one of my entrepreneurial sisters.
This week it was preceded by this lovely image:

I am incredibly lucky to be surrounded by amazing women.
I have my biz partner, Cortney, who is a fantastic support and collaborator but I also have a close group of women who I rely on.
We chat regularly via text messaging because sadly we now live all over the country. We also do a group Skype call every 6 weeks and try our hardest to get together every year for a weekend of planning, celebrating and dreaming big.
I’ve been reflecting all week what I would write about to introduce our latest class about toxic thinking and self-sabotage.
I sat in front of a blank screen and stared… then walked away because nothing came to me.
Until last Friday night. As I was preparing dinner I received the text: “Happy Friday wonderful women! How are we all?”
We each shared our wonderful weeks and the changes going on in each of our lives. It filled my heart.
But let me tell you…it hasn’t been all cheers, fuzzy feelings and sipping champagne.
Since the four of us met back in 2011 we have had our far share of highs and lows. Debilitating self doubt, failed businesses, post-partum anxiety, major cross-country moves, miscarriages, husbands maintaining crazy work schedules, uncertainty about business concepts, bad reviews, and the fear that our businesses are more like hobbies than sustainable enterprises. And yet we have had so many high points!
It’s been tough. But we’ve done it all together. And we’ve kept each other in check.
If you’re traveling this entrepreneurial route alone – we urge you to find other women who have your back and you can ride this roller coaster with.
How we found one another? We were all individually out networking like it was our full time job. We got out there! And even though we were hoping to land new clients/business, we landed one another (even better!)
So as you do the internal work to get out of your own way and build a business that fills your heart with joy … (it’s so important you do!) – please make sure you find others who understand this crazy journey you’re on and who will truly support your goals and dreams. They will call you out on your self-sabotaging ways and will be a critical ear for when toxic thinking stumbles you up.
Their support and love will truly make a huge difference.
As for the new LearnSavvy class this week, we’re happy to release…
How to Remove Toxic Thoughts that are Sabotaging Your Life
Dr. Carol Morgan wrote an article on a topic she often teaches and speaks on. But what she didn’t expect after it was published was that it would be shared over 87K times! Whoa.
She clearly hit a collective nerve on this topic.
We’re lucky to have her teach a course inspired by this article to further help people who are feeling like their thinking is tripping them. Check it out. First lesson, as always, is completely free.
