Today's cards and coffee inspired this post. โโจ
โค๏ธโโจFirst off it was LOVELY to meet. Some of you โค๏ธโโจ When I was pregnant with my son (whoโs now 5!), I suddenly felt this strong pullโan intuitive nudgeโto !create something!. I had no idea what that !something! was supposed to be. At the time, I was a student preparing for an exam as part of my multimedia design education. We had to present a productโsomething we had createdโand show how it could be marketed. One evening, I was sitting there knitting or crocheting, thinking, "What could I possibly create that would bring joy to others? Honestly, all I really want to do is sit here and make clothes, toys, and blankets for my baby boy." And then it hit me... I was already creating. I just needed to invite others to join in.! So I pitched an idea to my project group: a knitting book. Turns out, the group consisted of a talented photographer, a wizard in Illustrator, and meโwho can create !anything! with a piece of yarn and two sticks (a.k.a. knitting needles ๐งถ). I reached out to my network, found some amazing test knitters, we found a beautiful photo location, and together we finished the book. At the exam, we presented both the book and a full strategy for how it could be marketed. It wasnโt !meant! to be realโit was just a fun school project. But then our teacher said something Iโll never forget: โYou HAVE to publish this. The world needs to see it.โ To me, it was !just! a knitting book. Anyone can write one, right? But I listenedโฆ and today, you can find that book in libraries all over the country. ๐ซ That experience taught me one thing: ๐ "There is !nothing! I canโt do, as long as I follow my intuition and answer the call." Today, my knitting books have been replaced by coursesโwhere I now help others (together with Maiken) build passive income in their businesses. A new calling, a new kind of success. ๐ปโจ And in the coming days, Iโll be sharing ALL my failuresโbecause *they* are what truly shaped my success. ๐ When did you last follow your intuition?๐ซถ
