Are You Holding On to Something You Should Shed?

A year ago a short video on MSN captured my attention. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched it mesmerized by how seemingly effortless a crab slips completely out of the shell its body has outgrown.

I came across it again today while updating one of my websites. And, again, I wondered how much easier life would be if we humans allowed ourselves to let go of what no longer serves us … even when that shedding leaves us soft and vulnerable.

Then, after watching it again myself, I realized you might like seeing it, too. Click the image below to read my original post (on my other website) and enjoy the amazing transformation of the crab in the video.

What’s holding you back from growing into your full potential?

What are you ready to shed so you can move on?

Please share your transformation struggles and successes in the comment section below. Your experience has the power to help empower and motivate others to crack open the hard exterior that’s keeping them small and stuck.

After all, isn’t empowering others partly why we all really want to grow into our full potential?

Building Your Digital Team to Maximize Your Skillset with guest Brook Borup

By Kat Sturtz Leave a Comment

We’re talking about how to create a strategic system to run your business efficiently on today’s Fast Action Fridays.

Seriously! My interview with Brook Borup is definitely one of my favorites ever! She shared such valuable information, insights, and how-to tips.

Delegating doesn’t need to be hard or expensive when you do it wisely and from a clear understanding of what you’re gaining in return.

Also, both of us believe that sometimes hiring help is out of reach when there’s no available cash to do it. Not having money is a real thing for many of us at various points in our lives.

However, Brook’s advice can help you know when it’s the right time to invest in virtual help, as well as help you understand which tasks would be most productive for you to pass off. When done right, you’ll be more productive in your business and that can increase your sales.

When it comes to automation and delegation for small businesses, no one does it better than Brook Borup. Driven by the desire to see small business owners spend more time away from their business doing what they love, Brook has developed systems and methodologies helping countless business owners around the world do more of what they love. Whether it’s growing your business by passively attracting leads or creating automation sequences to spend less time on marketing, Brook has a back-end tool to get your business moving in the right direction.

Full disclosure: As you’ll hear towards the end of this episode I met with Brook to see if her team could help me with a project that I was growing weary of because it had so many moving parts, each of which took gobs of time to deal with.

I did indeed go ahead and hire Brook, and Sarah, the team member assigned to me did a wonderful job with the project I handed off. I’ve been able to streamline and automate even more of tasks associated with my Fast Action Fridays show which saves me so much more time. I’m enjoying my Fast Action Fridays task time again.
