Loved how you all SHOWED UP! Can't wait to see what you put into action and so looking forward to Day 2!!!

Loved Molly's session in today's AI Advantage workshop! She encouraged me to try NotebookLM to create an infographic for my energy advocacy work. SOOOO COOL!

I’m turning 58 this year, and if I’m honest… the resistance doesn’t get quieter. It gets louder. The voice changes. It’s no longer, “What if you fail?” Now it says, “You’ve already worked hard enough.” “It’s okay to slow down.” “You’ve earned the right to coast.” And yes… there’s truth in some of that. We all have permission to slow down. To choose quite. To redefine what success looks like. But sometimes that voice isn’t wisdom. Sometimes it’s just comfort trying to take over. Because I know there’s still more in me. I have a team counting on me. Goals I still want to hit. Work that still matters. I don’t want to look back and realize I backed off too soon. At this stage, it’s not about grinding harder. It’s about being honest with yourself. When do you truly need rest? And when are you just avoiding the next level? That line matters. Because the goal isn’t to burn yourself out. But it’s also not to talk yourself out of what you’re still capable of. Curious… where is resistance showing up for you right now?

I’ve been in business long enough to know that working harder isn’t the answer. There was a season where I thought the more I did, the more I controlled, the more I stayed involved in every detail, the better the results would be. But what I’ve learned over time is that growth doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing less of the wrong things. Looking back, there were a handful of shifts that changed everything for me... 1. I stopped trying to be the one who does everything. Early on, you wear every hat. That’s part of the journey. But if you stay there too long, you become the ceiling. At some point, your role has to evolve from doing the work to deciding what actually matters most. 2. I stopped treating my time like it was unlimited. This one required honesty. Your attention is your most valuable asset. And if you’re spending it on things that someone else, or something else, can do faster, you’re quietly limiting your own growth. 3. I stopped holding onto “how I’ve always done it.” The strategies and habits that got you here can easily become the things that keep you stuck. Every major shift in business rewards the people who are willing to adapt before they’re forced to. 4. I stopped doing repetitive thinking. As entrepreneurs, there are things we process over and over again. Planning, writing, organizing, solving problems. We’re no longer in a world where you have to carry all of that alone. You can now delegate parts of your thinking and free yourself up to operate at a higher level. 5. I stopped seeing AI as a tool and started using it as a partner This was the biggest shift. Not something that replaces you, but something that sharpens your thinking, challenges your ideas, and helps you move faster. Almost like having another perspective at the table whenever you need it. When you make these shifts, something interesting happens. Your output increases, but it doesn’t feel like you’re doing more. It feels like you’re finally operating in the areas that actually move the needle.
