I love your writing voice, Victoria. Thanks for sharing your process with us. I’m cheering you on, and walking through this with you.

This is probably the hardest stretch, when you’re trying to grow your business around a day job. But your baby biz will grow to support you, and things will get easier.

Thanks for your gentle wisdom, in this post: to keep things simple, joyful, and in alignment with your priorities.

@Grace – Exactly! For me “allowing” is on my list as #4 (taking it slow). It can be tough to find that balance of allowing vs. taking action.

@Eileen – Ah yes, you were there when my blog was born oh so long ago. LOL. You just caught me in one of my patterns (“must do it all perfectly and right away and I’m not going to stop to appreciate what I’ve already accomplished”). Thank you for reminding me about my own progress.

@James – Glad I have company! We’ll hang in there and take our tiny steps together. :-)

@Goddess Leonie – Mmmm…hanging out while drinking mango frappes. That sounds divine!

@Michelle – Yes! Matrix modules! There are definitely times when I long to have that option, but I try to remind myself that the process *can* be fun when I let it. Often easier said than done.

Good for you for taking on a new “next” and being so clear about the process–that will help you a lot! And it will help us when you show us how it’s done. ;o)

I’ve ended up having great ideas about all the stuff I could do and then realising that I’m still only able to squeeze the tiniest of little steps out of myself at the moment. Tiny, tiny steps. I’m hoping that it’s the start of a snowball, that momentum will kick in and build it into something awesome but for now I’m just trying not to get frustrated and/or terrified! :)

Enjoy the ride? That’s definitely the hardest one, in any situation. I’m constantly forgetting that one.

Also, I’d just like to point out, for the record…ummm, when did you even start this blog? Four months ago? And you didn’t even know then what you wanted to do (or maybe you did but you didn’t quite wanna say it), and now you’re WORKING WITH CLIENTS?! From where I’m sitting you are seriously, very speedily, Making It Happen.

But I know the frustration when a day job sits in the way of where you want to be. So I feel for ya. Ugh. Time to slack off and surf the internet all day and work on your own projects while barely scraping by (oops! did I say that??? oh no, I don’t recommend that at all, that was *my* strategy and led to way too much guilt and shame, so I think your plan sounds infinitely more sane!)

Yay, for you and declaring what you want!

And I have a question.

What if you were to allow it to happen instead of feeling as if you have to MAKE it happen?

Just wondering.

What good stuff you are bringing on. I’m over here cheering.
