I’ve gone over jumps like a Badass, rode on a fractured ankle for a month without realizing, feel horse speaking inside my soul, and then….
Fell off today.
….A bird drug something over the roof of the arena and spoked Orlop. Orlop, who is a solid horse of well breeding, training, and during his racetrack days, won people lots of money….
Spooks happen.
Falling down happens.
I rode a badass trip and didn’t miss a beat today (though on video you can hear me yelling
that I thought I peed my pants. I caught air and hit the saddle hard. I’m 40…. )
Badass to fall within minutes.
Ladies, doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots here.
People think 6 Figures is the golden bridge of “you’ve made it!” in business (and later think it’s 1 Million).
It’s not.
YOU are the golden bridge of receiving.
And sometimes you will fall after hitting badass milestones.
Today I fell on 1st class footing (about 100k worth of it) on my hands and knees.
Between that and my fast thinking (Once I knew that Orlop was going right and my body was
still going left) I DIDN’T fight it.
It just let go. Let my feet fall out and breathed out hard (taking the impact).
When you fight …is when injuries are made worse. You end up over-correcting and pulling
muscles and tendons and even further spooking the horse.
Today It was like falling on a bed. However, had that footing been gravel we’d be having a different discussion.
I set myself for success with 1st class horses, 1st class instructors and 1st class setting.
(I do also ride on gravel, through fields and into paved barns. It’s a different risk).
So here is the thing, when you hit a hiccup in business Do NOT try to over-correct.
Anxiety, hustling, watering down your energy, brand and pricing…. Will hurt you in the long wrong.
Even if it fills a current pressing pain.
Universe is your source. Not the levers, bells or fancy systems you create.
If you are busy over-correcting you will miss the opportunity to learn and grow.
Ladies, it was great to have a fall today! Something that didn’t end in injury or pain. It HAPPENS and isn’t the end of the world.
I got right back on and kept going.
It is the SAME thing for your business.
Dust yourself off and keep going.
You Badass
