Dear A Big Brave Life Support Squad:
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. (Whatever that means – I never stopped to think about that phrase before now)…
Yesterday I launched my course The Storytelling Advantage. I shared this a little bit on Instagram, but it deserves repeating. I was mentally prepared for launch day to feel a little chaotic and stressful just because there’s so much pressure, plus add in the technology, and all the eyes…oof…but I was not prepared for all of the emotions.
My best friends sharing my posts and bragging on my course, my college roommate (and fellow mompreneur) sending money for coffee to celebrate, family friends liking my posts and cheering me on, flowers showing up on my porch…then my business friends texting me, sharing my course with their networks, joining my live, commenting on my posts…
I can’t even get through typing that without tearing up. When your people show up to support your dream…oh man. You all have filled my cup, that’s for sure. Thank you.
I was sending a voice memo to a friend yesterday shortly after my course went live. I was trying to put into words what I was feeling. I caught myself saying, “I think I’m so proud because this course feels like me.” For maybe the first time in my life I had this big idea, I committed to it, I saw it all the way through, and I stayed true to myself the entire time! This course captures my ideas, my passion, my philosophy, and my heart. Knowing that I published this course feeling that way is everything.
I’m sitting here today reflecting on the past few months and how I got here, and I’m just so dang proud.
This is the feeling I want for every single female entrepreneur. This feeling is the exact reason I created this course. I want you to be able to hit publish and be filled with pride because you have so much confidence in your purpose. I want you to be able to put your content out into the world knowing it is so authentically you from start to finish.
This course is as close as I’ve come to being able to bottle up that feeling to share it.
Launch days come with a lot of pressure. We live in a social media world where we see people constantly touting how they made 5K in 24 hours. It makes it really tricky to approach a launch. The expectations can be paralyzing.
I’ve been trying to tell myself (on repeat) that launch day is a starting point and not a finish line. Launch is when we open the doors to our creation and begin truly sharing it with our community and with the world.
Thank you for allowing me to open the doors to thunderous applause. I’m not even kidding, it reminds me of walking into my wedding reception. It’s the same type of feeling. Music blaring, everyone I love cheering and clapping, and me just beaming ear to ear completely overwhelmed with gratitude.
This is just the beginning for A Big Brave Life and The Storytelling Advantage. Thank you for making it one of the best experiences of my life.
With so much love and gratitude,
Am
