This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hello fellow adventurers, welcome to today’s show. Welcome to the Art of Living big, I wanted to talk today a little bit about some things that I had to know, in order to build my business. But I want to say that these are things you probably would need to know are things that I wish I knew, you know, before I built my business, they would have been easier to just know these things, just to like, kick me off. And so these I think are things that you would need to know, no matter what you were trying to do. I think these are like universal things that if somebody had like sat me down and said, Okay, you have this really enormous goal, like you have this big thing that you want to do. And like you really need to know this before you start. Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this. And these are the things that I really wish that somebody had done. And I don’t know, you know, sometimes I’m like, you guys, if you’ve been here for a little while, you know, my mom died when I was in high school, right? So it is like a thing that really defines me. And sometimes I wonder, Do other people have this? Like, does somebody sit people down normally and say stuff, but nobody did it to me? Because my mom was gone? Sometimes I don’t know if things are like, Well, normally people know that, Betsy. So I’m going to just guess that you don’t know this. Here’s the funny thing. I was visiting a friend once a while back, and she was making dinner. And she asked me to peel some garlic. And I asked for a knife. So I could like cut the little ends off the garlic. So then I could peel it. Do you know what I’m talking about? And she gave me the weirdest look and just pressed on the garlic with the palm of her hand. And it like peeled itself. And then she looked at me like I had lost my mind. And I remember thinking, I bet that’s something you know, when you have a mom, but nobody ever taught Like, I literally had no idea you could do that. Anyway, I don’t know if this is one of those things. Maybe this is like Betsy, this is stuff everybody knows, but I’m just gonna guess it’s not because I’ve never heard anybody talk about this. So I’m going to talk about the three things that I wish I’d known before I started my business. But there are three things that I think you need to know before you do any big thing before you have any big goal. All right, here we go. Number one, it’s not going to go the way you think it’s gonna go. Nothing about it is going to be the way you think it’s gonna go. Like you have this idea in your head. I’m gonna go from here, and I’m gonna go to there. And yes, there’ll be some learning along the way. And yeah, things will happen. But it’s not going to go anything like you think it’s going to go. And this is why I think people go sideways. When something happens that seems so off track, because they expect it to go in a certain way. Right? They’re like, Okay, I have this goal, I’m going to, I’m going to become a life coach, right people inside the alchemy Institute is my program,
