Just when I thought I knew what I was doing, something has knocked me off my simple straight road and sent me off on a new track. Am I ready for it? No idea, but I’m going to give it my best shot and see what happens

Can you see all the paths on your journey yet?

After all the customer feedback and juggling I’ve been doing, I thought I was moving down one track with the bras4mums business. Slow and steady. Then out of the blue I asked a question on Facebook about our home bra fitting service, and a new path has shown itself to me. I really wasn’t expecting it, even though I’ve mulled it over since I started the business. But, I’m now pursuing it as a real option for expanding the business and offering a home bra fitting service to women across the UK.

My colleagues on LEAD are being extremely helpful, and when I meet with my business coach tomorrow I’m hoping to pursue some of my thoughts to progress the idea. So am I open to new ideas? Can I really change the way I do things? Can I allow others to do what I’ve only allowed myself to do in the past?

To achieve my VISION for bras4mums I have to. I have to DELEGATE to others. And, as long as I TRAIN them well, then why shouldn’t other people be able to do what I do? Maybe they’ll do it better? Am I afraid of that? Am I afraid of growing the business?

It’s not going to be easy, that’s all I know, but why shouldn’t I give it a go? What’s stopping me? What are the barriers to changing plans? Well, mainly ME! So, if I can change the way I look at things, and PLAN well enough, having THOUGHT things through and TEST them out, then, why not?

Changing direction, as long as it’s part of your overall vision should enhance your business, not challenge it. It may challenge you, but isn’t that what life is about? And we shouldn’t ‘feel the pain’ if we can see the outcome we’re working towards. My coach asked me last time what it would feel like if she took my barriers away. How would I feel about what I had to do? I said it wouldn’t be challenging! Ha! Little did I know 2 weeks later I was going to be changing direction and opening doors in the wall I didn’t know existed!

Wish me luck on my new path. I’ll reveal all soon enough – going to need your help and guidance along the way!
