I’ve mentioned Career Coach Mandy on here before because I’ve found her workbooks so helpful when I’m stuck on find the next step. The most recent one I’ve been working through is her “Start Your Business” journal, and it’s inspired me to work on my guide to lit mags (find a tiny sneak peek here!).

What I really love about Mandy’s exercises is that she helps you break things down until you find the easiest first step possible. There’s a page where she asks you what you think you can accomplish in six months, then a month, and then only a week. That’s how I arrived on the lit mag guide as a good first step–if I had to, I could get that done in a week (though fortunately I don’t actually have to do that!).

So if you’ve got some big dream or project you’re working on and you feel overwhelmed, try to scale it down. What’s a good first step?

Love and gratitude, as always.
