Nail It is now Bold Type Coaching!
Hello!
Writing is rewriting, and that goes for business names as well.
I knew Nail It Coaching wasn't my forever name. Sometimes, most times, you can't wait for inspiration. The name clicked when I realized what I love most about coaching.
Our greatest ideas, scripts, marketing materials, and goals will only happen if we have two essential ingredients: confidence and faith. How can we build confidence as writers in a business fueled by rejection? How can we have faith in ourselves during relentless uncertainty?
The answer is to finish the work. Finish the outline. Finish the script. Finish the rewrite. Finish the application. Finish the target list. Finish the e-mail. Press "send" on all of it. Just fucking finish. When we finish, we get better. When we get better, we build confidence. When we're confident, we have faith that we'll continue to move forward as we face forces out of control.
So why is finishing so hard?
Carl Richards sums it up best:
This drawing is from the 2017 New York Times column, Free Yourself of Your Harshest Critic, and Plow Ahead. It lives on the bulletin board over my desk, and it reminds me that my only job is to finish what I set out to do with the abilities and skill set I have at the moment. That's it. That's the job.
Finishing your writing in the face of fear, uncertainty, or that sneaking feeling that you know you're not where you want to be yet is an act of boldness. So, Bold Type Coaching, it is! I'm tired of writers feeling bad about themselves. Be bold and finish some shit!

What I'm listening to:
I've read a lot about manifesting and synchronicity, which tends to be abstract or broad. What do you do when you have the vision board and the list of goals, and nothing is happening? How do you keep going? This is the clearest, practical explanation of how to rewire your thinking and outlook to name and claim what you want and make yourself available to the signs that something larger is on your side.
