A Note From Colleen
Hi, friend.
This week’s theme is getting unstuck. Being stuck seems to be a place we gals are too familiar with. Let’s talk about ‘being stuck’ and getting unstuck so we can move forward and do the thing we’re dreaming of.
Thanks for being here.
Cheers,

GETTING UNSTUCK
At some point each of us has said, “I feel stuck.” Right?
Maybe you’re stuck at a big decision; or, you’re not sure what you want to do next or how to do it.
Feeling stuck usually happens when we need to make a decision (like deciding to take the next step), but we’re afraid of making the wrong decision.
This is where we get stuck. This is where the analysis paralysis comes into play.
The truth is the only way forward and get unstuck is to make a decision.
Decisions are big and small. The decision to have a second cup of coffee is less ‘serious’ than the decision to turn your idea into an online business. There’s obviously more at stake.
The truth is, however, no matter the decision we can NEVER know with 100% certainty if the decision we’re making is the RIGHT decision.
We never have all of the information we need to make a decision that we know is 100% correct. And, even seemingly good decisions can be derailed by changing circumstances.
Any decision we make has the potential to be right or wrong, but we don’t get to know in advance.
The best we can do is to evaluate the information we have before us and make a decision.
The most important thing to do is to give yourself permission to make potentially bad decisions; and, to make a different decision if the original one turns out to be not so great.
Give yourself permission to make potentially bad decisions without the guilt and shame that comes from kicking ourselves after a ‘bad’ decision. Make the decision to pivot and refine your decision, not shame yourself over it.
Making decisions is getting unstuck.
Making decisions puts you in action.
Making decisions puts you in the driver’s seat.
Making decisions is the ONLY way to move forward.
Making decisions is the path to getting unstuck.entioned two unique businesses:

I have a small, table top Christmas Tree. It fits in a Rubbermaid container, along with all the lights and ornaments. It’s great for small-space living and sets up in about 10 minutes. This is my kind of quick win.
