“You never see yourself”! That’s what my accountability partner barked into the phone recently. It knocked me off my feet and quite literally made me sit down. I plopped into my chair in my office and was so still you could hear a pin drop. “Hello? You there?” She asked. “Yeah – I’m here” I mumbled. “Kishshana you need to see your own potential the way you see other people’s potential and stop underselling yourself”. I’ll spare you the details of the rest of the call but needless to say — LAWD! She just told me to get my life together.
Now why was my partner telling me this and what does it mean for you? Just last week I shared with you my struggle for perfection and that I am doing something about it. This was another (much need) gut punch…I mean…check.
I was just putting the finishing touches on my new course – 01 See Profit- and I wondered aloud if it would excite people enough to take action. Maybe I needed to do some more work on it? That’s when she let me have it.
Does this happen to you?
Do you find yourself working on something – your next project at work, a new creative idea, a big campaign that needs to go live soon – and feel like you just need to do ONE more thing? Are you the kind of person that can rattle off ideas and suggestions for everyone else but feel stuck when it comes to your own stuff? Has this held you back?
So this got me thinking about how I could help my fab fundraising crew ( I can’t help myself okay!?! Sue me…)
When you are an overachiever; there probably aren’t a lot of people telling you ALL about yourself on a regular basis and helping you grow. In general, people think you’re great so it’s easy to miss when you are doing the most, being hard on yourself, and don’t see your potential. You just might need a good whack (and a hug) that’ll get you back on track and headed in the direction you need to go.
If that’s true; SIGN UP for a deep dive session with me. It’s a small investment with BIG payoff and summer is the perfect time to get back on course and as you can see even I (yes meeeeee) needed a tune up too. Because let’s face it folks — if you can’t see yourself and all your awesomeness; no one else will either.
Xoxo,

P.s. And if you have a friend, colleague or frenemy who you think needs a quick fix…send ‘em my way.
