Do you ever catch yourself with a little “business envy”? Maybe you’re staring at the decals on a delivery truck in traffic, or binge-watching the latest YouTuber who swears they cracked the code to millions overnight. It’s tempting to think, “I could do that”—and truthfully, you probably could. But the better question is: Should you?
This week on the Divas, Diamonds & Dollars Podcast, we’re talking about the powerful difference between chasing shiny objects and staying grounded in your strategy. Because just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s aligned with your goals, your energy, or the multipreneurship life you’re intentionally building.
We’ve spent the year helping you set goals and build plans, and we know the road isn’t always smooth. Life throws Distractions, Detours, and Delays at us daily:
Distractions disguise themselves as busy work, leaving you frazzled but not closer to your dreams.
Detours remind us that sometimes the scenic route still leads to progress—if it aligns with your bigger vision.
Delays can feel like setbacks, but often they’re just commas in your story, not periods.
The key is to notice what’s pulling your focus and learn how to respond with grace and intention.
✨ Motivation & Moxie: A clear plan fuels motivation—but moxie is the sass and backbone that keeps you moving even when “ugh” happens. Keep your one-page plan (your personal Cliff Notes!) close at hand. Review it when you feel the slump, and let it reignite your excitement. And remember your “why.” Whether it’s financial independence, more freedom, or creating a legacy, your raison d’être pulls you back when doubt starts to creep in.
✨ Stay Grounded in Strategy : When the flashing lights of comparison or quick wins distract you, lean into your fundamentals. Stick with best practices. Modify your plan only if it serves your goals, not because of outside noise. Staying strategic doesn’t mean being rigid—it means being flexible with purpose.
✨ Grace & Growth: Here’s the truth: you’re not failing when you get sidetracked. You’re human. The magic is in noticing when you’ve drifted, giving yourself grace, and then getting back on track. A pattern break can even give you fresh perspective—as long as you don’t stray too far or too long.
Your Challenge for the Week: Put your plan in writing. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to move you forward. Then, identify your distraction triggers and create a plan for how you’ll respond the next time they pop up. With awareness, strategy, and a little moxie, you can stay focused and finish the year strong.
Divalicious Pro Tip: Shiny objects will always sparkle, but your future will shine brighter when you stay the course.
