🚗 What to Remember When the Road Gets Bumpy


Hey Reader!

Let’s be real for a second… being an entrepreneur isn’t always pixie dust and rainbows.

Some days feel like rope drop on a holiday weekend: overwhelming, chaotic, and impossible to keep up. But even on those days, I believe with everything in me that it’s worth it because you’re building something meaningful.

So if you’re in a season where things feel tough (or you're just having one of those days), here are five quick reminders I hope will encourage and refocus you:

1. Momentum Over Perfection​
You don’t have to get it all right. You just have to keep going. Take the next small step, even if it’s messy, even if it’s slow. Progress isn’t always pretty… but it moves you forward. That’s where the magic happens.

2. Mindset Is the Multiplier​
You can have all the right strategies and still get stuck if your mindset isn't aligned. Flip the script from “What if I fail?” to “What if it works?” You’re closer than you think...you just might need to believe it first.

3. Every Storm Passes​
If today is hard… that’s okay. Bad days (or weeks… or months) don’t define your journey. You’ve been through tough seasons before, and you’ll get through this one too. Don’t mistake a dip for the end of the ride.

4. You Are Not Alone​
Whatever you’re feeling… someone else has felt it too. Me included. That’s why I started building a community around this journey. We're not meant to build or grow alone. Community creates courage.

5. Don’t Wait Too Long​
Stop putting off the thing that’s been tugging at your heart. Start before you’re “ready.” Because opportunity rarely knocks twice, and often, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

If you need a space to reset, refocus, and find your next step... that’s why I created the Momentum Weekend Workshop, happening October 16–19, 2025 at Walt Disney World. It's a multi-day event of practical strategy, meaningful connection, and real-world growth, designed specifically for creators and entrepreneurs who are ready to move from ideas to action. You’ll walk away with a fully documented marketing strategy and the (community and mindset) support you need to take your next bold step. Learn more about the event, sessions, and speakers.

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello, my friend! I hope you're doing well (really, I do!) I’ll start with a little confession... I missed a week or so since my last newsletter and even a couple of weeks without a new podcast episode before this week's show, and I REALLY do NOT like that that... at all. Truly. I always feel guilty when I miss a week (or even a couple of days) because I never want to let you down or break our rhythm together. Life, travel, work, events, speaking,...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Bonjour, my friend! That's the extent of my French for the most part... although I have become quite proficient in ordering baguettes, croque monsieurs, and French Fries. We're on our WDW Radio Adventures by Disney river cruise on the Seine, and to say it's been magical (and delicious) is an understatement! I've really come to love river cruising, and if you missed this one, don't worry... we're working on another one - I'm literally working with Beci...
