From a young age, Dacy Gillespie found validation as a musician. She pursued degrees in classical music performance in college, and thought her dream job might be playing bass in an orchestra. She soon realized, however, that was the wrong place for her.

As a highly sensitive person with tendencies toward anxiety and depression, some big red flags came up that indicated she was not in the right profession. But she felt stuck in this path she had chosen, in what she thought she “should” be doing.

It wasn’t until her mid-30s that Dacy finally faced her fears and embraced a completely new career path. It was a gutsy move, and one that paid off.

In this episode… 

Ella Glasgow was a voice coach for years. She was really good at it and it was easy…but she didn’t really love it. She knew she was meant for more, but was terrified of pursuing what was really calling her. A war between what she was doing and what she was meant to be doing was raging in her mind.

There was a fear of taking a risk, rooted in an earlier experience of being shot down by a former employer. Finally, though, she realized she needed to do what she asked her clients to do—get clear on what she wanted, make a game plan to get there, and push beyond the fears to make it happen.

More nuggets in this episode:

• The struggle between being good at what you’re doing—and sometimes even enjoying it—and knowing it’s not what you really want (2:37)
• The war of confusion, complacency, and comfort that comes from that struggle (3:55)
• How the boldness Ella grew up with eventually turned to fear (7:42)
• The eye-opening sit-down discussion with herself that made her practice what she preached (10:05)
• Why it’s important to be flexible in your planning (13:18)
• How moving forced Ella to change her business model (15:25)
• Why she was happy her mailing list went from 1,500 to 75 (16:50)

I announced early in 2019 that I was pivoting my business from general business coaching to specifically doing mindset coaching. This prompted someone on my email list to tell me that she always thinks of her own pivots and changes as failures. Guess what? Changing course isn’t a sign of failure, it’s a sign of growth.

When @alessandracaprice went from doing all the things in her business (1:1 coaching, group programs, launching courses all the time, etc.) to combining them ALL into one package, everything shifted. She realized she wanted to serve more people, and wanted to make what she was teaching even more accessible to her audience.⁠

By no longer doing #AllTheThings, she can now serve far more people … plus, she finally has the clarity and direction she was craving.⁠
