Why We Hurry Towards Our Goals

<p>This week is about why we hurry. Not the kind of hurrying when we are trying to make it on time to a party or a meeting, but when we hurry towards our <strong>goals</strong>. Why we rush. Why we feel pressured to achieve our goal – like <i>yesterday</i>.<br /> </p><p>I speak from experience here when I say feeling that pressure to achieve our goals faster feels pretty crappy. So let’s jam about freeing ourselves from this sense of urgency.</p><p>After giving birth to my daughter 7 years ago, I decided it was the perfect year to hit 6-figures in my biz. I know…probably not the best timing with a new baby and all. But anyway, I set out to do that. </p><p> </p><p>One of my coach certification programs offers an award every year for coaches who earn 6 figures or more, and I really really wanted to be on that stage accepting that award. Not so much for the money, but for how awesome I thought it would feel to walk across that stage and claim that shit - especially because while I’d earned good money in healthcare, I was really skeptical I could earn as much outside of being an employee working for someone <strong>else</strong> who earned a shitton of money. And of course, particularly when you grow up with very little, you are fucking <strong>proud</strong> when you create your own abundance. </p><p> </p><p>I hired an assistant for the first time <strong>ever</strong> since i knew I’d need to delegate some of the more tasky tasks since I had a newborn, and I got to work.</p><p> </p><p>And I mean I hustled. I didn’t get to take a true maternity leave and I had to go back to work sooner than I wanted because we needed the health insurance. I was working full time in clinic and then busting my butt after hours and before hours building my business. I justified overworking because I was awake anyway tending to my newborn so might as well multitask and earn money while I was at it.</p><p> </p><p>I have photos of me breastfeeding my kiddo and typing on a laptop at the same time.</p><p> </p><p>Ri<strong>donc</strong>ulous
