I want to have a real talk with you. Sometimes we all need a little tough love to push us forward in our businesses. So, if you’re ready to face some hard truths, buckle up and join me for some “Heidi Real Talk”.

Recently, I stumbled upon a powerful quote that resonated deeply with me: “Champions do daily what everyone else does occasionally.” Think about it—success isn’t just about occasional bursts of effort; it’s about consistent, daily commitment to our goals.

Bad Day Turned Grind

Let me share a personal story. Not too long ago, I had this day. You know, the kind of day where I woke up feeling blue, unable to shake off a sense of defeat. Now despite this bad day, I had commitments that evening— a paint party scheduled. Initially, I wanted to crawl back under the covers, but I knew I had to push through. And you know what? As soon as I got moving, as soon as I focused on others instead of my own doubts, everything changed.

This experience reminded me of a fundamental truth: success often requires us to do the hard things even when we don’t feel like it. It’s about showing up, day in and day out, regardless of the obstacles or setbacks we face.

Breaking Through The Mud

Now, let’s talk about your journey. Are you in a rut, feeling like you’re trudging through mud? It happens to all of us. But here’s the thing—those who succeed are the ones who push through those muddy days. They don’t let excuses hold them back. They take action, even when it’s tough.

In business, especially when running paint parties, it’s easy to get discouraged by setbacks or comparison. But here’s the reality—success doesn’t come from comparing ourselves to others or dwelling on what might go wrong. It comes from doing the work, day in and day out, even when no one else sees it.

The Actions No One Sees

One book that has profoundly influenced my approach is “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. It delves into the mindset of professionals versus amateurs, emphasizing the importance of discipline and perseverance in achieving our goals.

So, here’s my challenge to you: embrace the hard work. Whether it’s preparing for your next event or handling the behind-the-scenes tasks that nobody sees, commit to doing them consistently. Success isn’t just about what you achieve in public—it’s about the effort you put in when no one is watching.

Seize the Moment!

Remember, every small step counts. Whether it’s sending out flyers, reaching out to potential hosts, or simply overcoming a moment of self-doubt, each action moves you closer to your goals.

And when you find yourself inspired, don’t hesitate—take action immediately. Momentum is a powerful force. It’s those inspired actions that often lead to breakthroughs in our businesses.

You Are Better Than Your Excuses!

In conclusion, let’s stop making excuses and start making things happen. Success isn’t reserved for a select few—it’s within reach for anyone willing to put in the effort. So, the next time you see someone else succeeding, let it inspire you rather than discourage you. There’s room for all of us to thrive.

Let’s commit to being champions in our own journeys, doing daily what others only do occasionally. Together, let’s build businesses that thrive on consistency, determination, and a relentless pursuit of our goals.
