When we come up with new ideas, all this pressure builds out of nowhere that makes you feel like you’re supposed to just get on with it and turn it into a success right away.
But the reality is that the best ideas just don’t happen that quickly. Great results take time.
It’s so easy to slip into the mindset that we need to get amazing results fast, and that if we’re not getting results fast, it means we’re failing.
So many of us experience this when we have an idea to do something… whether that’s to create a course, build a membership, or write a book for example.
If you’ve ever felt like that, or you’re teetering on the edge of giving up, I want to share 3 powerful things you can try when you feel frustrated. They will inspire you to hang in there and to keep believing that your ideas deserve time.

| 0:00.0 | The fruit is the last thing to grow on the fruit tree. You plant the seed, you water it, |
| 0:05.2 | and the tree begins to grow really, really, really slowly. And the last thing you get is the fruit, |
| 0:12.6 | the last thing. And so often I think that we feel this pressure that we need to get results fast, |
| 0:18.8 | and if we don't get results fast then we're failing. |
| 0:27.8 | It's so false. You are listening to the She Means Business Show with me, Carrie Green. I'm the founder of the Female Entrepreneur Association and the author of the bestselling book |
| 0:32.2 | She Means Business. And every single week, I will be talking with you about how you can turn |
| 0:37.0 | your ideas into a wildly |
| 0:38.8 | successful business and actually live the life of your dreams. You can do this and I'm here to |
| 0:44.8 | show you how. So let's get started. Hello, welcome back to another episode. So I really wanted to talk about when you have been sitting on ideas for a really, really long time and you've not been doing anything with them and you feel really crap about it because you feel like you're failing because you feel like |
| 1:11.5 | you should be further along you feel like you should have made more progress than you've made |
| 1:14.8 | and you just feel so disheartened by the whole situation it feels heavy on you it's weighing on |
| 1:21.1 | you is maybe creating anxiety for you it just doesn't feel good and um so many of us experience this when we have an idea to do something, |
| 1:31.6 | whether it's to create a course or a membership or write that book |
| 1:35.3 | or do anything when we've got any ideas. |
| 1:39.3 | Sometimes we feel, especially when you've in business, |
| 1:42.3 | sometimes I feel that this is pressure, that you're |
| 1:44.7 | supposed to be able to just get on and do it right away and just do it, just do it. But the reality |
| 1:51.8 | is that sometimes just doing it doesn't happen that quickly. And when it doesn't happen that |
| 1:57.5 | quickly, then that's when we start to feel like we're failing, |
| 2:06.5 | and that's when we start to feel really terrible about everything. And in my experience, what I've learned is that sometimes I can have an idea and it can take bloody years for that |
| 2:13.2 | idea to come to life, and that's okay. That is okay. So for example, well, actually like when I had the |
