Hey Reader,

Have you heard of this free app, Timehop?

It’s an app that connects to all your social media accounts and then brings up memories of your past posts in a “1 year ago” or “5 years ago” type of format; images, videos; tweets; whatever you’ve shared in the past.

It’s a great way to see how far you’ve come on a project if you’re a visual person and have taken a photo of a plan (like I do!) 👇

Sometimes I see something I was working on and trying to perfect for SO LONG instead of just launching it and being IN IT and perfecting it while I go. I can see the fear in the old picture. The fear of stopping myself.

But in reality, all projects – no matter big or smaller – are just a bunch of small steps that lead to something bigger.

Sometimes we need a sign, or permission, to just go for it – and so if this is you – here’s your sign. Here’s your permission.

Go for it. And let me know what you’re working on or working towards. I love learning about what’s going on in the community.

Ongoing self-development and leadership work:
