Fabulously inspiring, Cathy! Thank you for sharing the anatomy of your journey from inspired to ditching the whole thing to going for it and the mindset of how to say Yes to yourself!!!

Thanks so much for your insights Wendy. I've really re-framed the way I look at asking for things and going after opportunities. It just comes down to whether I take a stand for myself or allow myself to shrink down. As my Mom always said, "all they can say is no." xoxo

Great message Cathy. I especially like "All that mattered was that I thought enough of myself to send it." This jewel is going on a piece of paper where I can be reminded of this :-). And now I'm examining how I perceive my own worth and how that stops me. And congrats on the Holistic Chamber of Commerce panel invitation.

When I come from an inspired intention , without attachment to results, I am always spot on no matter what the end result is. Powerful message and so important for those of us in business to remember. Couldn't have said it better. Awesome words once again.

cathy, i'm so happy for you. i know from experience how hard it is to break up a marriage especially when the person you're leaving is not a bad person. then to top it off and move across country_it's the best yet!!! the feeling of a new beginning and the excitement of being free is undescribable. best of luck in everything you do. love, genie

Re: How I Finally Hit 10K A Month In My Business

Keena — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:30:54 -0000

This is such a great post. I have been guilty of thinking the exact same thing: "when I have my own business and not a day job, I will have freedom and fulfillment" [perfect business name, btw ;)]. And one of my mentors was only working 25h/wk and making 6 figs.... So what's up with the 80 h weeks?! Ha ha!
And there's always the same trap with thinking that I have to do business a certain way, and follow "the rules". As a serial multipotentialite, or Renaissance Soul (can't stand the Sher "scanner" term), I have a really hard time with the rules of business the way they have been; wasted YEARS trying to sort it out and feeling like I should be further along than I am.
Acceptance comes when I realize that it's really just a wee speck in the grand scheme of things. Freedom comes when I chuck the rules out the window. And the final "wow, you mean I can really make this work?!" comes when you have an awesome business coach ;)

And you ARE magic!

Love, Keena

You are not alone. I literally cringe @ people's vagueness. It's like: they're either completely full of sh** it's pouring out of their eyes, or they truly do not understand the importance of details. God I hate vagueness. High fives you in agreement -

Re: Which Is It, Letting Go or Giving Up?

Cathy Wilke — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 16:51:48 -0000

Thanks for stopping by Cory! And I think ultimately the best way to show up for anything is to let go of the result. But it's usually easier said than done.

Unrogue — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 05:25:09 -0000

This was really good Cathy. I tried to explain this to a friend and fell flat trying to explain how letting go was not a "loser" thing to do, but actually how every master craftsman really approaches their work. Thanks.
