Keeping going and knowing when to give up

Keeping going and knowing when to give up

When you have a clear vision but it's the execution that gets you - it feels impossible, even though you know it IS possible for you

Hi Jessica!

I have followed you for a while on here and on YouTube. I really admire your honesty and your whole vibe. Thank you for sharing your work, I also get your emails!! I really like your writing and the topics you cover.

I dream of being self employed but it's hard being focused and finding my thing and getting it off the ground. I was wondering if you had any advice about keeping going or knowing when to give up?

I have a clear vision it's just the execution that gets me - it feels impossible, even though I know it IS possible for me.

I admire you so thought l'd ask but no pressure to reply.

Thank you and best wishes, J x

Hello my love,

Thank you for such kind words and taking the time to send them. Thank you for trusting me with your inner world. It’s a beautiful one I can tell.

You’re messaging me for a reason and giving up has nothing to do with it. Let’s start here. You know I’m the last person in the world that would ever tell you to give up. Go to the corporate types for that, those full of fear who’ve had their creativity squeezed out of them or pushed so far down it lays dormant, desperate to return at the first whiff of child like spirit. I am forever your biggest cheerleader.
