There are some conversations that normally only happen behind the scenes with a few trusted business besties or clients that you’re supporting. In The Sustainable Success Podcast, however, we’re going there. Because in a world overrun by shoulds, shiny objects, and strategies du jour, these are the conversations that let us know we’re not alone and can trust ourselves on this sometimes messy, but always worth celebrating, journey of expansion.

Hey, I'm Carly Jo Bell, business consultant, coach, and the founder of WholeCo Media. Over the last 5+ years I've worked with over 100 individual business owners and thousands more have joined my courses. Our goal? To build businesses that bring in as much joy as they do revenue — by cultivating deep self trust, and solid foundations as the first step. Join us each week for a fresh conversation, released Tuesdays. See ya there?

007. For when you’re frustrated at “not being there yet” (honor the business you have right now)

I was in tears as I planned out todays episode of The Sustainable Success Podcast.

Mostly because when I look back at this past year and see, really see, just how difficult it was, I can’t help but be so proud of my 1-year-younger self who moved through this year and handled each and every one of these things to the absolute best of her ability.

There were so many moments throughout this past year that I questioned why everything was so hard. There were so many moments where I asked myself or a select few people close to me why the heck YET ANOTHER HARD THING was happening. There were so many moments where I could have chosen to give up. To throw in the towel. To just collapse under the weight of feelings of powerlessness to change the myriad of difficult situations I found myself in.

And you know what I did instead? I kept going.

Not in a “grin and bear it” way. Heck no. I was too exhausted for the pretenses that would require. But rather in a way that continually allowed me to honor the business—and the life—that I had right then, and then, and then, and then, and in every single moment. (Instead of doing what my angsty teenager self wanted, which was just to “be there already” and for it to “just be easy, FINALLY”)

I share my practice for honoring the business you have today in this episode. The practice that I’ve used again, and again, and again throughout this past really-freaking-tough year.

As you think about the year that’s ahead…just a few days away if you’re reading this when this episode first came out…a time that is SO filled with thinking about “where you want to be” and “what you want to create,” I invite you to begin by honoring the business you currently have.
