369: Create Your Own Opportunities

Listen to this full podcast episode here:

For those who've tuned in before, you know that my mantra is to "Create and Own Your Magic." This philosophy is woven into my approach to business—and life—and I'm excited to dive deeper into it today. I recently gave a talk on this at a women entrepreneurs' conference, and I'm ready to share those insights here with you.

Your Entrepreneurial Magic Wand: Belief

Many of us hesitate to take that leap of faith into entrepreneurship, questioning if our ideas are good enough or fearing judgment from others. But the truth is, if you don't believe in your own story, who will? Believe in the unique magic you bring to the table. It's the fuel for your entrepreneurial journey. Your dream matters, and you have to own it and nurture it with passion and humility.

Action Speaks Louder Than Perfection

Let’s be honest—all too often, we let the pursuit of perfection paralyze us into inaction. Stop focusing on being flawless. Instead, pivot towards action. Any step forward, no matter how small, will keep you moving toward your goals. So, ditch the perfectionist mindset and focus on getting things done.

Build Your Tribe: Networking Is Key

Entrepreneurship isn't a solo endeavor. It's a communal one. The right support can propel you forward, so build a network of people who align with your mission. If you haven’t yet, consider joining a mastermind. It can provide invaluable support and insights, keeping you accountable as you grow.

Reinvent and Innovate When Needed

Don't cling to a strategy just because it worked before. Flexibility is your greatest asset in an ever-changing world. Evaluate your current strategies and be ready to innovate or pivot when necessary. Remember, staying open to change often leads to unexpected opportunities.

Visibility: Be Seen, Be Heard

Visibility is crucial. By putting yourself out there—whether on social media, at networking events, or through podcasts—you open doors. If people don’t know about you, they can’t support or hire you. Stop being the best-kept secret and let the world know about your expertise and passion.

Focus on Value

True opportunity arises from creating value. Forget the chase for followers and likes; focus instead on the impact you can create. Ask yourself, “What value am I adding?” The more you uplift others, solve problems, and offer solutions, the more opportunities will naturally find their way to you.

Trust the Process

Finally, trust that everything you're doing is setting the stage for future successes. Results may not come overnight, but every action you take, every relationship you build, is an investment in your future. Your journey is unique, so don't waste it comparing yourself to others. You're creating the right opportunities—and they're all aligned with your goals and values. Let's make a pledge right here, right now. Raise your right hand and repeat after me: "I am committed to creating my own opportunities this year. I own and create my success."
