"Hi Kristin,

Thank you so much again for the coaching session - it was truly transformative!

Since our session, I have officially offered a job to my first employee and she accepted. I've also started to truly implement more boundaries with my clients and have plans to roll out new policies that will help to hold those boundaries strong and keep the business (AND myself) going strong.

Before our session, I would have been excited for a moment about these exciting new changes, but that excitement would have instantly turned into over thinking, over planning, worrying, etc. Now, I am JUST excited. It sounds silly, but I seriously do tell myself to "just stop" when I start going into a spiral of "but what if this" "but what if that" "I should really plan for this". It's time for me to trust in my years of experience and take a lesson from the dogs and start living in the moment & you truly helped me realize that.

It's funny how I went into this coaching session hoping for an "answer" to my specific business question, but left with an answer to a much more broad "issue" that I (and I think many business owners) struggle with. Of course, we didn't get to where we are from "just letting things happen" and not planning or worrying at least a little bit - but when you step back and start looking at things in a more positive manner - your "what if's" start turning into "but what if this IS an absolute smashing success" vs the old thought of "what if this is a horrendous failure".

Now, instead of having the scarcity mindset, I've started shifting my thoughts to think more along the lines of everything being a learning experience, and whether it is negative or positive, it will make me a better business owner for years to come.

So, thank you again, The Daily Dog is already benefiting greatly from your guidance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
