Happy Friday! New lockdown story coming to WattPa Happy Friday!

New lockdown story coming to WattPad this weekend.

Read my @hamafilms feature on The Sweetest Mango turns 20.

I know it's March and you know it's March, so what I know it's March and you know it's March, so what are you going to do with it?

It will be a butt in seat kinda month for me. Apologies in advance if my timeline is a tad quiet. 

Run no race but your own. If it means you get quiet so you can produce your best work, then do that. 

Play the long game. Don't pursue vanity metrics and the immediate concern for likes over investing in work that will bring returns over and over.

Wishing you peace and focus in your endeavors.

Do you struggle with asking for the sale? How do y Do you struggle with asking for the sale? How do you handle negotiating contracts?

It takes practice and continuing to do inner work to acknowledge your value and worthy of being paid for the excellence you provide.

I encourage you to add this declaration to your repertoire.

"I cannot and will not be afraid to sell my services and offer up my gifts in exchange for money.
I bring value, hope, and freedom to others when I respect and use my gifts to serve.
Compensation is a just reward."

What do you need to build better habits around? H What do you need to build better habits around?

Habits are created with repeated action.

If you buy candy every day, then you will get the results of consuming too much of it.

If you save every day, then you will reap the results of that too.

What do you want more of in your life? Do more of it to receive it.

Love Under Lockdown
 
Finding love is the last thing on Andrea Reid's mind when her travel business disappears overnight because of a global pandemic. Forced to find another way to support her four-year-old and with restrictions thwarting her money-making plans, she must face her fears and try something new. Her reclusive neighbor David Canoe comes to the rescue. Who knew you could find love under  lockdown?

I had a panic attack. Last night, I freaked out. I had a panic attack.

Last night, I freaked out. This book isn't necessary. You still have a lot to learn so you shouldn't be the one writing it.

Old fears, new book.

I set an ambitious writing goal for the year. To write and publish at least six books. The first one is just about done and it is time to send it to a few beta readers for feedback.

It's a book on entrepreneurship and something I know a bit about, yet I battle with insecurities as to whether I am handling the material in a way that is relevant for now.

Many of the people, women especially, who speak to me about writing battle with insecurity. They don't believe they have something to say and can say it in a way we need to hear it. I believe you do.

Go ahead and write. Then write some more. Release it. We need to hear what you have to say.

Are you one of those people who juggles multiple t Are you one of those people who juggles multiple tasks at once and if you get a great idea you must act as soon as you get it? I used to be.

Now, I am learning the wisdom of stepping back and looking at the task or the idea and evaluating whether it is for right now,  can be assigned to someone else to do now, or needs to be saved for later.

Lately, everything seems urgent and that is a lie. All my ideas are great! LOL. Or so I want to believe BUT they can also be distracting.

Tell yourself NO! 
Then ask yourself...
Does this need to be done now?
Is it taking me away from the task that is a priority?
Will it help me accomplish the primary task?
Can someone else do this?
Can I pencil it in to do at a later date and time?

I have found, it only seems urgent in the moment but stepping back allows me to see that it can wait.

Do you struggle with this? How do you evaluate whether you should do it now, delegate or save it for later?
Oh what a tangled web of problems we end up with w Oh what a tangled web of problems we end up with when we don't keep things simple.

If you're anything like me, then you might find that in your head the thing you need to do is so complicated and will take a genius working non-stop to make it turn out right.

I encourage you to break the task down into smaller actions. What needs to be done first, then second and so on. Small, clear actions taken consistently is the secret to reaching your goal.

Simplify to Amplify!

I can’t wait for things to get back to normal. A I can’t wait for things to get back to normal. A recurring mantra everywhere I turn.

This is it! 

This is normal.

Humans are creatures of habit but we are also amazing adapters. 

Twenty years ago, we did not know our phones were going to become our office, our entertainment and our doctor’s assistant. Now this is normal. 

Who would want to go back to a time when we couldn’t reach out and with one button connect with a loved one far away or even in the next room?

You’ve got your life in a holding pattern, waiting for the ship to right itself before you make a decision or move in the direction of your dreams. 

Are you even dreaming or have you got your head under the covers waiting for the storm to end?

This is it! 

This is normal.

How are you going to thrive in this new normal?

Are you seeing opportunities in the midst of the chaos? Even if it means shifting in a completely different direction, you must make a move.

Don’t make a habit of quitting! A phrase I heard a few weeks ago that hit hard. If you are in the middle of doing a degree and you wonder if it will be of any use in a year, don’t quit. Finish it. The sense of completion is a win in itself. Yes, we will still be looking for people with degrees and certifications when this is all over.

Resources disappeared? What can you do with what you have access to? Necessity is the mother of invention. Create something new with what is available to you. Is this the time to ask for help and bring in a partner? Can we go further together? 

Absolutely.

This is normal!
