Taking Time to Be Still
Have you ever paused to reflect on how far you’ve come in your entrepreneurial journey? Recently, I took a moment to do just that, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude for all I’ve accomplished. With the help of the Lord, my core source of strength, these achievements became possible. Let’s not get it twisted—without that foundation, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Lessons from the Tortoise and the Hare
One of my favorite childhood stories is The Tortoise and the Hare. The simple yet powerful message—slow and steady wins the race—resonates deeply with me. Building a business takes time, patience, and perseverance. The journey is not about how quickly you reach the finish line but about the lessons learned along the way.
A Year of Growth and Adventures
This time last year, I experienced some of the best adventures in my business. I had the honor of being interviewed about my craft and even launched an online training course, Sew Confident Academy: One Stitch at a Time. These milestones remind me that there’s no race to achieving success. It’s all about staying committed and showing up consistently.
Equipped with All You Need
While listening to an uplifting podcast recently, the speaker said something that struck a chord: “You are already equipped with all that you need.” This truth has been a game-changer for me. As entrepreneurs, we often look outward for tools and validation, but everything we need is already within us.
Embracing the Journey
If you’re feeling stuck or doubting your progress, I encourage you to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far you’ve come. Remember, it’s not about speed but about the steady, purposeful steps you take. Trust the process and lean into the journey. You’re equipped with all you need to succeed.
