Taking The Long Way Around

Do you have a song which really means something to you? For me, it’s The Long Way Around by The Chicks. I’ve been listening to them for 20 years and this song is about that feeling of suddenly going it alone and forging a path that only you are walking on.
That experience brings with it a feeling of ‘growing up’, of being separated out from the pack and NOT experiencing life in an identical way to your peers. Does that resonate with you? It does with me.
A lot of my closest lifelong friends have stayed and settled in our hometown. And that was never something I wanted to do. I definitely feel a sense of doing something differently to the people I spent my formative years with, and it’s bittersweet because it’s something I knew I had to do but it was sometimes a lonely experience.
Getting settled in a new city when you arrive and know NO ONE is something I’ve done 4 or 5 times. And it creates distance because it’s not an experience that everyone in my life has shared or experienced.
Another reason I like The Long Way Around is because it syncs up with the Brené Brown book, Braving the Wilderness. I loved that book so much.
In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I am talking about how going the long way around relates to your business and the impact it can have.
I talk about:
● How it feels when we’re pushing up against a mindset block
● What happens when we back away from a challenge
● Realising when you have to step up
● The ‘future you’
● How journaling can help you get unstuck
And let me know, what is a roadblock you are facing right now?
Free Report – The Six Elements of a Seven Figure Consulting Business
I’ve created a free PDF report called The Six Elements of a Seven Figure Business. It’s my most popular free resource and in it I outline the 6 areas of unscaled businesses that need to change in order to move past being ‘booked up and burned out’ and shifting into that higher gear that gets you cruising again.
It’s the framework that helps consultant women like you find their feet and get back to leading the business, rather than being buried in client work and back-end business operations.
Thanks for reading! I’d love to hear your feedback and future topics you’d like me to feature. You may also enjoy The Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, the show that takes you from booked up and burned out in your consulting business to THRIVING as the CEO of your 7 figure enterprise.
