A few weeks ago, on holiday, at 2am... I was having a full conversation with Claude about whether I should start posting on Instagram again. Yes. 2am. on holiday. with my kids in the next room. (Claude was very patient with me. I was not very rational.) the thing is, I had this creative impulse, I have things to say, people would relate to this, maybe I should just... Share, and within four minutes my brain had turned it into a full content strategy with a calendar and a platform decision and honestly it exhausted me before I'd posted a single thing. The impulse died before it even started. and then last week? Substack nearly happened. 🫠 I caught myself faster this time though. which felt like progress. I wrote about all of this in today's newsletter including the three questions I now ask myself before I let a new idea take over my brain at an unreasonable hour. But I want to know about you... when a new idea lands, what does your brain do first? And if you've got a specific situation you're navigating right now, a idea you can't shake, a decision you keep going back and forth on, something that's been sitting on your mental to-do list for way too long, drop it in the comments. A — gets immediately excited and starts planning everything at once B — talks itself out of it before it's even fully formed C — sits with it for a while before deciding (teach me your ways) D — opens 47 tabs and calls it research 👇🏾 P.S. if any of this sounds uncomfortably familiar and you want to talk through what's actually going on in your business, you can book a free call with me here → https://rosemarydede.com/bizz-audit No wrong answers. This is just a good thing to know about yourself. Drop your letter below and if you want, tell us the one thing that's still living rent-free in your head 👇

quick question for the community this Monday 👇🏾 if a stranger landed on your website right now and had never heard of you… what do you think she'd do? A) book a call or buy something — my website is clear and does its job B) have a look around and leave — it's fine but nothing really pulls her in C) get confused trying to figure out where to start — there's a lot going on D) honestly I haven't looked at my own website properly in months and I'm scared to drop your letter below no judgment, this is a safe space 😄 (I'm asking for a reason… check your inbox today 👀)
