Staying C.A.L.M

I hate Jolly Ranchers. 🫥 
Because they taste like flavorful rocks.
My teeth could neva! And if you’re anything like me, we eat starbursts instead. Cause they different, flavorful, and easy to chew. That’s what B² is!

We take the hard out of the Ai and entrepreneurship and add a lil flavor.

B² helps you unlock your potential and rise with purpose.

Those on their entrepreneurial journey are watching as skill stacking, AI, and mental well-being converged in the span of the last 4 long (and sometimes short) years. It’s overwhelming, exciting, scary for some, and 🤯 at the same time. But the 4th Industrial Revolution is HERE. We have much to cover and all the time in the world.

Adding Ai to Your Resilience Toolbox

I shared with my community recently that my version of life is life-ing not because I'm a sharer, but because I never really share.  I shared because, despite the situations I'm facing, I actually felt good about those things and honored to be the universe's guinea pig.

I was admitted to the hospital last week while launching a community for my client.

We got it done.  Was it perfect? Nope. In fact, nobody accepted our invitation to join. But none of that mattered.  I was excited to have the opportunity to record a "win.” Because a win is a win.

I got out of the hospital finally.  All things were well. That was Saturday.

Early this morning, 2/26/2024, my 10-year-old had another seizure.
And something just told me to be CALM.

Due to my hospital stay, I'm at home this week, so I'm not making any money from my job.

I am the breadwinner in my household.

This is the point in time where someone would panic. Yet, I am still CALM. Because I know and see the vision.  And I refuse to let clouds ruin the view. I am a school counselor by trade, and if my students were going through a rough patch, I would tell them to consider the following:

Where can I draw inspiration from? Where can I go for support? What do I have on the inside that I can use? What has worked before? Who can I turn to when work is to be done, and my mind is scattered?

As I considered these questions, my Make Money Moves community came into focus. So, I shared what was happening with them. Being able to share what I am going through with others IS self-care.

As I sat in the hospital with my laptop and beeping machines, my mind in a fog, I had no idea what i would do to launch this platform. But for anyone reading this, do what makes sense to YOU.

For me, it was the GPT I created for my business. And I was thankful to have this tool in my toolbox.  There is absolutely NO WAY I would have been able to work as fast as I did to get that community launched without my AI assistant. Because despite the issues with Ai, ChatGpt saved me behind last week.  I couldn't think clearly.  I really did need help.  And it kept me on track based on the WAY I utilized it.  Not to do the work for me but to help me think more like ME.

So how can we keep moving forward when facing a headwind?

With our heads down and shoulders forward, this is the ONLY time I will say: "leaning in" and remaining C.A.L.M.

• Find your Community, and tap in for support.

• Adjust and adapt to your situation by being still and listening to what your body and mind are saying. 

• What is the Lesson to Learn? Recognize that we haven’t learned unless we do things differently the next time, which may require us to lean in a little.

• Lastly, maintain the vision - we often veer off-path from the small pebble in our shoe, not realizing we can STILL walk even with the pebble in there. It's uncomfortable, it hurts, but we are still able.

And that's what some of us are dealing with, health issues, sick family members, bad actors in the workplace - but none of that can stop us.  We must remain resilient on this journey and remember to stay CALM.

Welp, that’s all for this edition. Stay away from Jolly Ranchers and eat more Starbursts!
