Every lead ad in my social feeds makes me think I am missing something, leaving cash on the table, or worse than that just a failure in general because I am not doing 'all the things'.
As a seasoned freelance artist, my client roster is healthy. I am gradually taking on the opportunities while I navigate the workflow increase. As a creature of habit, learning new ways to absorb and delegate is challenging for me. Thankfully, I find support because I seek it. Education has been a part of that process as well which is a blessing but also eats up a good chunk of my work time. So overall, my brain is overwhelmed by what-ifs, am I doing this right, and OMG!
For some reason, all this leads me to think about the ripening stages of avocados and comparing them to my business opportunities. Avocados specifically take time to mature and do it at varying stages which is beneficial because they become a daily gift to us in our diets. I have a friend who owns a ranch, which contains lemon, orange, and avocado groves. I regularly go to her ranch and get avocados because, during a COVID life, I continue to support my local businesses. Part of my daily routine is to test the avocados for ripeness. The day avocado is ripe is the best time for it to do its job. Nourish you and make you feel satisfied that its life has become part of yours. Enhancing my life in ways that I have yet to realize.
So what avocados do you have lined up? Are you paying attention to which ones are ripe now and which may take time? You don't need to focus on all the avocados at once, just take each opportunity with patience and wait for the perfect time to assimilate it into your business flow. Then digest these opportunities at the time that they fit perfectly with your progress. Yum Yum!
