Consistency... again.

At least I'm consistent with the struggle around it!

SEP 11, 2024

“You need to create some hero content!" she says. (my biz coach)

OK. First I need to work out what my "hero content" is going to be!

And so the mind-tussle begins…

Does it need to be written? Can it be audio? Maybe videos on a Youtube channel? What about Youtube shorts? Does that count?!

I reply… “So in terms of the hero content, it needs to be long-form? Is that what you're saying?” (hoping she’ll say no!)

But she doesn’t.

Hmmm. If you know me, you know I've got a bit of a block around being sustainable.

I'm scared I will state my intention, even if it’s just to myself, do it a couple of times, and then not be capable of sustaining it… not be able to live up to it… disappoint myself again.

I’m just so used to letting myself down.

I conjure up so much excitement and momentum to start something… then I somehow lose steam.

I am so “in the moment” usually, and get so swept up with the fire, the passion, the sacred rage about the “thing” that’s right there for me… right now!

And I go hell-for-leather on it, conjuring up the most innovative solutions, visionary ideas, and intricate thought-provoking offers. And usually it lasts until the plans are fully-formed and though-out, but then I never seem to actualise the damn thing.

This means that I am smack-bang in the middle of my zone of genius in the work I do now… helping visionary entrepreneurs dream up and create visionary offers. My ‘quick-to-spark’, high-energy inspiration, and ability to fire-up others’ excitement and momentum has found its ideal home in this work.

But when it comes to doing the consistent things I apparently need to do to run my own business smoothly… well, I smoulder like a fire that’s lost its air.

So even just batch-creating a short series of reels recently felt so organised and “normal-person” productive for me!

I’ve recently discovered that I’m a Manifestor in Human Design. (Any other Manifestors out there!?)

And it’s actually made a lot of sense — it describes this way of being that I’ve struggled with all my life!

Oh, the stories I’ve told myself! Not to mention the labels and stories I’ve been given by others too —

“Jack of all trades; Master of none,” sticks out from my childhood.

“She’s very bright, but never completes any projects, and therefore her report scores reflect this,” my teachers would tell my parents at parent-teacher interviews.

“Flighty”

“All over the place”

“Forgetful”

“Fickle”

“Doesn’t stick with things”

“Dreamer”

“Impulsive”

A mixture of labels that have taken hold over the years — that scare the hell out of me at the very suggestion of starting something regular and ongoing. (I've obviously got some mindset & clearing work to do around that - And I'm so here for that!)

But in the meantime, how do I find a way to stick to creating a regular piece of “hero content”?

I tried Substack earlier this year, but as you may have seen, my consistency has been v-e-e-e-r-y stretchy!!!

A soulful friend & mentor came up with the idea of “finding some spontaneity” in the consistent thing.

And that sparked a flame. ✧

So that’s what I’m about to lean into… (Stay tuned… I’ll ‘try to remember’ to let you know how it goes.)

Do you resonate with this? How have you found strategies around this fear of consistency? Do you have any other suggestions for me… I’d love to know.

From my rebel heart to yours!

Tiff ❤️‍🔥
