I can’t surf. At least not on the waves.
But there’s something about the mindset of a surfer that appeals to me as a business owner.
And during my recent speaking engagement in Huntington Beach, California, it was obvious that I needed to share this lesson with you as well. As is usually the case when I teach an audience of entrepreneurs about marketing their business online and with teleseminars, the idea that they like the most is my Take Action, Revise Later philosophy. It helps them move forward faster, and give themselves permission to make some mistakes.
Check out this monumental metaphor I recorded for you from Surf City, USA…
Enjoy!

Enjoyed the video. I almost gave up on a wave but decided to keep on going and once I did I started to see more success. I have been doing the take action, revise later when it comes to getting content up and knowing that I can always go back and change things helps me to keep going. I do struggle with that sometimes though because I just want it all to be perfect but I have to understand that it won’t always be that way. I have a lot of work to do but will keep riding the wave!
That beach is beautiful! Hubby and I leave for Jamaica next month so I’m getting antsy and seeing that beach just made me a little crazy. ha ha
Looking forward to meeting you at NAMS!
