It’s okay – you’re allowed – to feel that what you really need right now is a personal mentor to walk you through this particular area.
This thing.
Because at this point in your life, in your business, in your motherhood journey, you really feel like you would go farther, faster, with someone on hand to personally answer your q’s about everything (even the quote unquote “dumb” ones), hand you her cheat-sheet mindset, and download everything possible about her way of viewing the world.
That’s what you need, sometimes – and that’s perfectly all right.
That’s how you’ll know when you need to plunk down your money for the coaching process – when this is the kind of personalized, one-to-one support you feel drawn to.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this – from getting a great cook to share with me her recipe book when I got married and realized I needed to know how to make more than 5 meals, to bugging a veteran homeschool mom with every possible question when my first 2 were in kindergarten (and then again, with yet another mentor, when they were starting high school), to the business side of things – needing to learn Pinterest, so I picked someone specifically for that.
Needing to learn how to listen to my gut, not just read all the business strategy books, so picking a business coach who already lived that way.
Needing to learn how to be a coach, so finding an established coach I trusted to bounce a bunch of questions off of.
It’s a normal thing in life as moms. We don’t know how to do something, and we have to do it more than once (like, for years), so we ask someone we know to mentor us.
Maybe that’s an aunt, or a grandma, or an older woman at church.
Maybe it’s baby wearing, or sourdough bread making, or getting the hang of sewing.
The point is, you don’t have to do it all, you don’t have to know it all, and the only thing you need to do is know where you want to start. What you want to learn next.
And then find a mentor for that.
