Because let’s be honest — we’ve all been there. And will be again. And again.As self-employed trainers, coaches, creators (insert your job title of choice), we’re often flying solo.No team. No sounding board. Just us, spinning in our own heads.And as someone wisely said yesterday:<blockquote>“You need to get out of your own head.”</blockquote>Yes. That. 👇<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" progressbarcolor="white" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rh-RbNjMLr4?si=Hc3koNfvxnxCrkls" start="0"></iframe></div><hr><h2 id="c7a8e942-e764-4fe1-9a72-3e12df660e54" data-toc-id="c7a8e942-e764-4fe1-9a72-3e12df660e54">Your Support Network Matters</h2>One of the best ways to unstick yourself is having a solid support network.That’s actually why I’m here at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.chris-james.co/client-interview-ady-howes">C2C Live</a>. Chris and his team? 100% part of my people.I came to talk things through, offload a bit, and get some outside perspective.<a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/victorialewisbusinesssupport/">Victoria Lewis</a> (legend) made a great point yesterday too:It’s not just about having a support network. It’s about having the right people in it.You don’t need a bunch of nodding dogs 🐶 You want people who listen — but also challenge you. Who ask the uncomfortable questions. Who poke at your logic until it clicks.That’s how you move forward.<hr><h2 id="a3d2d411-6378-4b32-9af8-c5b8b696759a" data-toc-id="a3d2d411-6378-4b32-9af8-c5b8b696759a">Don’t Wait for Motivation — Try Anything</h2>Someone else in the room offered a tip that I’m stealing immediately:<blockquote>“Just try something. Anything. Even 20 minutes.”</blockquote>Enter: the Pomodoro Technique.Set a 20-minute timer. Pick one thing. See what you can get done.It’s wild how much progress you can make when you just commit to starting.<hr><h2 id="52d30a89-208e-47e1-b168-b8ec569a1135" data-toc-id="52d30a89-208e-47e1-b168-b8ec569a1135">Building an Online Community? You’re Not Alone</h2>This morning, in my own Digital Skills Tribe community, I spotted a few messages echoing the same stuck-ness.Specifically around building online communities and courses.Things like:<ul><li>Not knowing where to start</li><li>Feeling overwhelmed by the tech</li><li>Wondering how to market or even structure the thing</li></ul>Sound familiar?This is easily one of the top questions I get asked:<blockquote>How do I plan, build, and launch an online community or course without drowning in confusion?</blockquote>Good news: that’s exactly the kind of stuff I help with. And conversations like the ones we had yesterday? They’re why I do what I do.<hr><h2 id="4cc2b3bc-a506-491c-bbe9-68927d21f015" data-toc-id="4cc2b3bc-a506-491c-bbe9-68927d21f015">Get Out of Your Head + Into Action</h2>Here’s your two-part recipe for getting unstuck:<ol><li>Lean on the right people who’ll challenge your thinking</li><li>Start small — even 20 minutes of focused action can change everything</li></ol>You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to get moving and stay connected.You’ve got this 💥<hr>PS – If you found this post and haven’t joined the free Digital Skills Tribe yet, you can do that at <a target="_blank" href="http://helpwithdigital.com">helpwithdigital.com</a>.
