Here's our Day 27 Accountability thread

This community is a dream come true for me -- For most of my life I've dreamed of creating a safe space where like minded folks who are on the path of growth and positivity could uplift and support each other along the way. A safe haven of respite and hope when the turmoil of this world can feel overwhelming and sometimes makes things seem dark. Each of you, here, contributes to this actual, solid, place of acceptance, encouragement and prizing; this can be seen as a comparatively rare type of community in 2024. And I'm especially thrilled that after years of struggle and searching, we finally have all of our content and conversation on a lovely, reliable, attractive app that can make all of this within handy reach of your eyes and texting fingers whenever you wish! There are just sooooo many things to be grateful for today - life is filled at all times with bountiful blessings - we just need to remember to look for them and notice as many as we can. So I'm giving extra thanks for each of you as we look forward to creating what we most might want to happen in 2025, together. Wishing you all peace and blessings on this holiday, Wendy <3

As some of you know, I went to a really fun 'meet up' last Friday night. I wrote about my takeaways from the event on my Instagram, but I thought I would share them here, too. 1. I loved the ‘journaling prompt’ we spent a few minutes thinking about. 🎥 “If you were the main character in the movie of your life right now, what would the audience be screaming at you to do or focus on?” 🍿I found that so interesting. And a different way to think about what my priorities or focus could be for the upcoming year.  2. Create value in whatever you are doing. Whether you are an employee or own your own business, one of the things to remember is that there is often a gap between ‘creating the value’ and ‘getting compensated’. Sahil said he has seen many young people make this mistake. They think they should be rewarded at every step where they are creating value. But this isn’t the case. Sometimes, you create exceptional value, but the reward doesn’t come until much later. The reverse can also be true where, later in your career, you will be rewarded more than your value because of your ownership in the business, etc.  3. 📕Book recommendation: “The Third Door” by Alex Banayan. As an 18-year-old college freshman, Alex tracked down and interviewed some of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers. He discovered one thing they all had in common: they got there through the ‘third door’. 4. “Trust is the atomic variable. It isn’t likes, views, or comments; it is all about TRUST.” Can you create things of value so you can garner trust? You could have a million followers on Instagram, but if they don’t trust you, they will never buy from you. 💸 5. “Stress and anxiety are proportional to your ambition. As you have more and more ambition, your stress and anxiety will rise.”  That is a part of entrepreneurship that you have to get used to. Ali also mentioned the common joke amongst entrepreneurs: “Who started a business so they could get more free time? Most put their hands up. 🙋‍♀️ And then, the day that they quit their jobs, they started working 80 hours a week rather than 40-hour weeks. They quickly realised they traded a 9-5 for a 24-hour-a-day job. But he also stressed that if you love it and it energises you, GO FOR IT! 💪

I have been accomplishing getting ready for a Holiday Sale of my art. I repeat phrases "Just Keep Starting" or "Start Again This Is a Game" when I get into the thought of stopping/what is the use. Wendy said that "Just Start Again" is a SYSTEM. A system that I have been working/playing/using. The phrases help me go under the trip wire. I think of it as a spell I am casting for myself. The spell I am generating is phenomenal. Just Keep Starting--is a grand way to Get Her Done.
