Monday Motivation: Trusting Your Gut

I had an amazing conversation with another Blogger. She needed some advice and I was so happy that she even thought of me to be a place she could come to. Interesting part is that she understood the assignment. She needed more of a reassurance than advice.

Trust your Gut

Sometimes when we need that extra reassurance we will doubt ourselves! It’s that voice that tells us that what we are seeing, hearing, or believing may not be exactly what it is. Trust me if you have lived in this life you will have moments of needing extra reassurance. She, like so many, are really amazing people in the field. Remember that you have done or are doing the work to show up for yourself daily. If you’re showing up in your own life on time, working hard, and believing in yourself that is the basis for a job well done!

Daily Work

So now that you believe in yourself, now what? Work like you already made it. Put your best work out. Never be afraid to tell others about your gifts daily. Remember in Sister Act when Whoopi Goldberg told Lauryn Hill about her singing ability. She told her if singing is in her, sing everyday. How much more you? You may be a writer, motivator, or businessman (woman)-show up and show off. You should be fine tuning your gifts daily.

Overexposure vs Strategy

Don’t get tired of showcasing your talents. Why do you think people like the Bailey sisters aka Hailey and Chloe became so well known to Beyoncé? They did a lot of YouTube videos showcasing their talents. They did remakes of Beyoncé’s songs. It worked. Someone got Beyoncé or her team’s attention. They are currently managed under her and have her stamp of approval for the things they do. Dedication and putting their talents out into the world isn’t overexposure. They were strategic in their drive and it paid off!

Consistency is Key

Your friends are going to get tired of what you do until what you do they want to benefit from. Don’t stop because of their tiring. Do it until what you do gets the attention of the brand that’s on your wish list! Continue working hard until someone notices you! Even with the blog there was some brands that told me they made offers because they saw my dedication and consistency. Whatever you put out make sure it’s reflective of the quality that whomever you want to “see” it will! As of recent, a brand sent a message to me about just that! It’s about hard work and truly loving what you do!

Game Plan

Now that you have a desire, working hard, being consistent, and you’re on your way let’s get a game plan! Find a way to incorporate consistency with a plan. Make the plan something you can stick and dedicate to! For instance, as a Content Creator, I don’t mind planning a month in advance. Taking pictures throughout the city, or getting a team together for special projects. Also, I write my blogs ahead too as I also create content for several other companies! It’s a job. The dedication is there and the quality is top notch!

Monday Revamp

So as we start a new Monday, let’s get clear. It doesn’t matter what field you are in! Make sure you are the best in what you do. Take charge in the narratives that you put out. Be clear in your direction. Have a plan. If you need to change that plan, be open to change. Remember your why! It’s important to center your why daily.

Your Why Matters: Reassurance Matters

Your why is evident in how you move and who you let in your circle. Be strategic in the friends who want to build. Also friends or not get everything and anything in writing. Too many people lose friends because intentions and contracts aren’t drawn. Why are you in the field that you are in? Do you believe you can make a difference? How much do you love what you are doing? The time to ask this isn’t at New Year’s Eve. The time is now! Let’s take this Monday by force! You got this!
