Whew! Here we are! It's the final episode of Season 1.

I have to be honest: launching this first season of The Digital Entrepreneur's Toolkit has not been a cake walk.

Due to some goings on on the person side of things, my energy has been low and my focus has been fuzzy. It's been a rough fall. My goal was to push this beautiful podcast baby across the finish line before the end of the year and I am really proud to have done so.

Times of struggle give us the opportunity to learn more about ourselves. For that opportunity, I am grateful but I am also really looking forward to coming to a full stop here at the end of the year.

If Season 1 is The One About Community, Season 2 will be The One About Systems.

I'm looking forward to charging up my batteries so that we can come back better than ever in 2025 and share even more inspiring entrepreneur success stories with you in the new year - and beyond!

Whether we're having a chat on a podcast, hanging at a Disney park, or just catching up on the phone, you better believe my biz bestie Jen Hoffman dishes up some of the best mindset advice you've ever heard.

And it comes from a deep-seated desire to support her own growth, move that learning into action, and share what she's found with others.

Whether she's teaching restorative exercises or mindset magic, Jen is an exceptional teacher. I've learned so much from her and alongside her - and for that I am so grateful.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Almost immediately after Jo and I turned off the microphone at the end of our recorded conversation that you heard in the last episode, she remembered something she wished she had said.

In discussing getting involved with volunteer work, she wanted to encourage folks to just start. To reach out and get started before it feels comfortable.

I don't know about you, but I need this reminder on the regular. I am highly allergic to failing in front of people. And I don't think I'm unique in that. Ice Queen Elsa notwithstanding, most people have a bit of an aversion to leaping into the unknown.

But if you want to share your gifts with others and use those gifts to benefit those who may be in need of what it is you have to offer, you have to step up and step out and start sharing.

But there's a little distinction that I've learned to make that has made tipping into action a bit less daunting and that is creating habits around measuring my leading inputs rather than my lagging outputs.

I hope this helps you too because - whether there's a course you'd like to launch or a book you're desperate to write or volunteer work you'd like to do - it requires you to become proactive.

Leading inputs will help support you in just that.
