​
​Happy 4th of July to all of our community members who are celebrating this weekend!


If not now, when?​
​
​
Most women don’t get stuck because of lack of ambition.
They get stuck because they lie to themselves about time.
​
You tell yourself you’ll act “once things slow down”, but they never do.
​​
​
Use this to break out of delay mode and create the opportunities you know you deserve.

→ You're not too busy. You’re too comfortable.
​
​
Comfort feels like control. It’s safe. But it’s also keeping you small.
Stop treating “later” like a safety net. It’s just an excuse keeping you stuck where you are.

→ Get out of "someday" mode​
​
Instead of: “I’ll get to this once the summer is over.”
Say: “I'm going to take action now so I don’t fall behind again.”
​
This shift helps you move with urgency and gives yourself permission to go all in.

→ Prioritize for impact, not comfort
​
​
Every week, identify 1 priority you’ve been putting off that actually grows your career. Then block it, protect it, and go after it.

Pro tip: Replace “I’ll wait until” with “I’ll start by” in your self-talk. This is exactly what we support our clients to do every, single week! Case in point👇

​
​
Growth doesn’t wait. You shouldn’t either.
Decide what you want. Start before you're ready.
​
You've got this!
