Greetings!

Not kooky at all, and very appreciated. :-) Posts that let me relax about not-knowing-everything-right-this-minute are deeply valued, and let me get more done, which is also the kyool thing.

Thnx so much! :-)

“It’s okay not to know how to budget and forecast and create project plans. If you knew this stuff, you wouldn’t need this course.”

Exactly.

What a sweet post.

SUCH a good point! While I can rock a spreadsheet myself, there are a ton of things I feel I should know, and yet don’t. That’s true for both the business world and the rest of my world…
I tend to assume that everyone is going to be like mean reality-show experts, sneering at my feeble attempts at ________, and rolling their eyes at my baby steps towards improvement.
Yay for not being a bully! Yay for noticing that we don’t need to be torn down before we can be rebuilt; we’re already plenty demolished, thanks.

What a wonderful post, Victoria. Way to be brave. And for the record, it didn’t seem nearly as kooky on the reading side as it probably felt on the writing/posting side. Though I’m one who regularly talks to paintings and ideas and all sorts of things, so I guess you have to consider the source!

Thanks for posting this! I had never even thought of trying to talk to something you’re trying to create. So many implications! Like I could even talk to my baby business .. or my baby ideas .. wheels spinning. So glad you posted this! (And yes, just posting this does offer reassurance. By the way, I like how your course kept repeating reassurance over and over.)

I agree with Michelle – and I think that talking to your course is brilliant.

It’s amazing to me how important Safety is to all (or at least most) of us when we look deep inside. I keep finding that places I get stuck come back to not feeling safe in some fundamental way – but this is almost always below awareness – finding the fear is often the key to release the suck.

Not kooky at all! Bravo for braving the inner critic and posting anyway.

So glad you had this conversation with your course. And honestly even if the course didn’t have such wonderful answers (which it did!) I learned so much about your sensitivity to all the wonderful people who will take the course.

Oh wow! I think your course is talking to you straight from the heart! I can definitely relate too, both from the creator of online-stuffs and from the buyer-of-online stuffs.

It’s great that you understand what your right people need. That’s seriously so important!

Victoria!

I’ve struggled with this a lot, actually. With the “how do I reassure people that I’m honest and not crazy and can actually help them” thing. You address it beautifully.

Thank you. <3
