Good Things Are Happening

I haven’t written in a couple of weeks, my apologies! Things are truly moving and God has brought in two key people to my team. I have been training my new Marketing Assistant and working with a new Business Manager. I am truly enjoying moving toward automation and freeing myself up to do more of the pieces of my business that I love.

The lesson for me this last couple of weeks is to learn how to back away from things a bit and let my business do what I have worked so diligently for the last 7 years to set-up. This means that I get to write more and spend more time working with media to promote my work. I have been doing radio lately and I love it!

I had a coaching call tonight and we talked about that first process of stepping out and working on your vision and the fear of no one showing up once you do all the hard work. Well, I wanted to remind you as you move forward in your vision, God has a flock of people who are waiting for you. They WILL show up and they are waiting on you!

I was reading in Shape magazine and saw a great quote that talked about how nervous energy is selfish and whenever the reader was feeling nervous, she took the attention off of herself and onto those she is serving. “Yes!!!” I thought, “That’s it!”

If you are feeling nervous about stepping out there on faith, just remember to focus on the people you have been called to serve. The butterflies will leave and you can get back to the big picture. Try it, it works.

Love, Ericka

ps. Here is a picture from my mini-vacation at the beginning of May. We had a chance to go up to the top of the mountain on the ski lift and it was awesome! If you look closely, you can see the tops of the multi-story villas in the background.

It was a great time to relax, take a step away from my business and make some strategic decisions and to enjoy being on the mountain top in Virginia. I even sat out in the sun. I don’t think you can call it “tanning” when you are already brown, so I’ll call it “browning.”
