331. If Your Dream Opportunity Showed Up Today, Would You Be Ready?

If you had your absolute dream opportunity show up in front of you today, would you be ready for it? Or have you unintentionally been keeping yourself and your business small, waiting for some arbitrary time in the future where you'll feel more ready, or when someone else will validate that you're enough? This is something that came up for me recently when my name was being tossed around for a huge speaking opportunity, and I had the chance to fulfill a major dream of mine.    I didn’t land the gig, but it made me realize that I need to make myself more visible and chase what I know I was put on this earth to do. I discuss overcoming the fear of being perceived as ‘too much’ or ‘full of yourself,’ and share a really great way to reframe those thoughts that my friend Patrice Washington came up with. So, are you in a position to take that opportunity and run with it? Listen in if you’re ready to get there.    In this episode we talk about: Where this question sprung up for me  How I need to be intentional about building the platform that is required for the speaking engagements that I want  The thought work that has to happen in order to dream bigger Ways that you can put yourself in a position to say ‘yes’ to your next opportunity  Living a regret-free life    If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE to get your tickets for the Powerhouse Women 2022 event!    Click HERE to check out the Powerhouse Women Behind The Success Stories!    Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?
