Paulina Gugala - Marketing & Business Consultant

I want you to think about a baby learning how to walk. How many times do you think it'll fall down before finally getting one wobbly foot in front of the other? Probably like, 1000 right lol. But even though it fell 1000 times, it got up 1001 times and kept trying. What's even more important is that the action of getting up every time made its legs stronger and stronger so it could eventually stay standing up.⁠
⁠
I like to think of failures the same way. We need to fail in order to get where we wanna go. Just think of it as information or data for you to intake and digest.⁠
⁠
"Oh, that didn't work as planned, ok."⁠
⁠
And you go about your day and keep trying.⁠

The fear of failure can honestly paralyze us, especially as entrepreneurs. Accepting that the obstacle is the way has made it way less intimidating and scary for me. It's just a part of the process y'know, and you gotta trust the process.

I’ve been pretty quiet on here, and here’s why…

First of all I caught the big C 😂 Thankfully it was really mild and I’m all good now.

Second of all, I realized I’ve been playing small with my business. I thought about what I wanted my business to look like in the future and realized that I’ve been trying to fit into a mould that doesn’t appeal to me AT ALL, and it was driving me further away from my true vision.

At first I was REALLY freaking embarrassed to be changing things yet again in my business, but my motto has always been to pivot again and again until you find what works.

So I’m giving myself and all of us that permission, to pivot again and again and again until we get it right.

I’m a bit self-conscious admitting this, but I feel like I share a lot of negativity on here. But I gotta be real with you, 2021 was one giant test for me. I faced rock bottom after rock bottom, challenge after challenge. I know it was the same for a lot of you as well.

Up until two weeks ago, I felt so damn stuck and sorry for myself. Then the universe dropped me on my head and shook me WIDE AWAKE, and I’m honestly SO damn grateful for it.

My word for 2022 is FEARLESS. As soon as I claimed it, I was shown all the ways where fear held me back. It was humbling AF.

So here’s to a new year and new adventures!

OOO alert: I’m celebrating my 30th trip around the sun today and gave myself the day off. 🥳

After officially being in business for 1 year this month, I have a lot to be grateful for. I wanna give myself space to celebrate where I came from, where I am, and where I’m going. I’m frikkin STOKED for what’s to come!

I also want to thank YOU for being here and joining me on my journey. Your support really means so much. 🥰
