September means we FINALLY made it to the BER months! I love this time of year. The weather, the leaves, the busyness of football season, school activities, loads of sessions. I love it all! New month also means new goals, both personal goals and business goals.
Are you ever afraid to try new things or go for a dream because you don’t want other people to see you fail?! This is SO me. Or, this WAS me. At 38 years old, there are still so many things I would like to REACH for just to see what may happen.
You see about 11 years ago, I was driving down the road and decided I wanted to take something I was passionate about and make it a career. 11 years ago, I just woke up and said today’s the today and went for it! It was absolutely the best decision and I envy that “just go for it” attitude I had back then. My photography business has blessed me with the best friendships and memories.. and I’ll probably be 100 years old *hoping* to see y’alls grandbabies or great grandbabies for sessions. This career is something I truly love. It’s not a side gig. It’s THE GIG.
Last year when I started focusing on my health, I also decided to become a health coach. Again the relationships, friendships, and excitement of this has been a blessing. I was chatting with people like me who were desiring more from life, sharing recipes, and swapping clothes! I have enjoyed all aspects of this endeavor and all the milestones reached not just in my own health journey but others’ journeys as well!
But, self doubt can be a wild beast y’all! I would LOVE to share more things photography, more things health, more travel, more shopping (because.. if you know me at all… well you know!)… but then I also get in my own head about doing so. An influencer I follow on Instagram was talking about why this doubt creeps in on her as well.. and goodness it was so true for me too! She mentioned how she was so worried about what people would say about her to others… but the truth is, they are probably already talking. Y’all… if this doesn’t sum up EXACTLY how I feel, but why?!?
So, ALL of that to say this… my ONLY goal is to not be afraid to go for things that I want. It may take off like a rocket like my photography and health coaching businesses… or it may never even take flight, oh but what if it does!
So here goes nothing! What’s one dream or goal you would like to work for?!
