There’s freedom in saying yes to yourself. That’s why the more you say yes to your ideas, the more creative you’ll be.
I love that as the takeaway from today’s Monday Members chat with my guest, Marion Bevington. As you’ll hear, she’s overcoming important obstacles and putting herself out there to build a community around her mission!
In fact, being herself is what helped her attract nearly 200,000 young followers on TikTok in just four months!
But she’ll be the first to say that patience is just as essential if you want to build something that lasts.
Because here’s the thing. It’ll still take longer than you think, even if you go viral!
So get comfortable with frustration. Get comfortable being impatient. And get comfortable being yourself!
Listening in on today’s episode will inspire you to do just that. You’ll hear how Marion has locked in on a mindset that finds as much value in the lows as in the highs. We’ll learn more about her book on IBS, what creating looks like when you can’t see the phone in front of you, and why posting unfiltered attracts true superfans.
Enjoy!
