Tough (Question) Tuesday When have you surprised yourself

Tough (Question) Tuesday When have you surprised yourself whats the big idea by whimsy studios Yesterday, I announced the launch of my very first e-course, The Declaration of You. I remember when this whole idea was planted, with an email from my good friend Jessica Swift on April 2nd saying, I had a BRILLIANT IDEA. And it involves you! And me! Together! Why dont you and I design some sortof e-book together? Im picturing, like, an eworkbook, full of your brilliant coaching wisdom and my illustrations, and we can have stories and games and printable feelgood artwork and all kinds of good stuff! When I was listening to Jamie Ridlers podcast with Keri Smith (SO GOOD,) she asked Keri why she write her books and where they come from, and Keri said that she writes books that she needs herself. So I thought, what do I need myself? What do I want to create that would be useful to ME? And this popped into my head!! AWESOME, right? Please say yes!! And I responded, Jess, Im really crying right now. Really. You have gone into my head taken a dream Ive had ( been too shy to share) jus t put it out there, it came from you. I would want to do an e-book with you like I want to have a mandated power nap in each every day of my life (just in case its not clear, I REALLY want a mandated power nap in each every day of my life). And here we are, 179 days later, and we have a beautiful site and a wonderful host and a whole bunch of amazeballs content (if we do say so ourselves) thats locked and loaded. Im so proud of not only our original idea and all the hard work weve put in to make it happen, but Im so proud that we took the bigger idea we had that we were scared to death of to make the e-book into an e-course and made it manageable. Made it un-scary. Made it happen. So, today, 179 days after the birth of this Big Idea, I want to know your story. When have you surprised yourself?
