We all Bring Something to the Table

Missy Steadman

When you’re a part of a family, or a tribe, you bring a talent to the table, and so do the others! I am confident in what I have to offer to the group, AND I recognize my limitations…most of the time!

Right now, I wish John was home from school. I need his “lego brain” and gentle hands right now. He would be able figure out how to get the drawer off the frame so I could get the blue tape off! He would be gentle to not break anything, but persistent to get it done.❤

Sometimes it’s the little things that become big in a time of frustration, but working together they can be solved!🤗

Also, shout out to Lowe’s! All appliances are basically on backorder right now. We thought we were going to get call on October 1st to give us a date of delivery in the next 2 weeks. Instead, I got a call last night that delivery would come today! 🎉🎉

Who are you Surrounded By?

Missy Steadman

Woah!!! Insane reality by my friend!
👇🏽👇🏽
”I just graduated college with $100,000 in debt”, but can’t get a job that remotely pays my debt… yeah, people clap, celebrate, and even hug you.

“I just got a loan for $400,000 to buy my first home”, that you really can’t afford, yeah people clap, celebrate, and even hug you.

“I just got a loan for $40,000 for a new car”, drive off the lot and the value decreases $10,000…yeah people clap celebrate and even hug you.

That’s $540,000 in total debt most people are living in (add a few hundred thousand for those living in Southern California), but they are feeling good about it because they are being celebrated for it.

Now, go tell those same people you invested a couple hundred dollars to start your own business…

“Whoa, are you sure?” ◀️
“What are you going to do if it doesn’t work?”◀️
“Umm.. I don’t think those things really work”◀️
“Do you think you can get your money back?”◀️
“I don’t believe in those things (i.e i don’t believe in you)!” ◀️

🦀 Picture a bucket full of crabs with no lid… the crabs never escape the bucket. The moment a crab tries to get out of the bucket, the other crabs pull it back down.

Pay attention to who you are surrounding yourself with and who is speaking into your life!!!

I jumped out of the bucket. I grabbed as many people that would hold on and took them with me! We are a tribe over 60 strong and we’ve never looked back.

▶️I’m sure!
▶️The products speak for themselves.
▶️Ive built a residual income
▶️my business of free to join and free to run!
▶️believing in MYSELF was all it took!

You are Enough

Missy Steadman

Maybe the only reason you think you’re not good enough is because you’re letting other people define your worth.

❌ NO MORE ❌

You are more than enough.
You always have been.
You’ve just been lost for a little while.
Welcome back.

YOU are beautifully & wonderfully made.
You’re not perfect.. but who is?

Stop letting people define you.
Stop letting people determine your worth.
Stop people pleasing.
Let that weight off your shoulders.
Just love them. Everybody. Always.

Be undeniably Y O U
Be uniquely Y O U

God has made beautiful things…and He also made you. ❤️

Mondays

Missy Steadman

It is Monday! The start of a new week. How you start your week will determine how you end your week. 🤔

If you make up your mind for it to be a great week, then it will be! 😍

If you are determined to pursue your goals, then set them and go after them. 💪

We don’t need a new year or even a new month to start over, God gives us Mondays each week!💯

Roaming

Missy Steadman

Roaming….
Do you remember when cell phones came out? Living in Texas, I was happy with my plan that covered the entire state. In other words, as long as I stayed in Texas, I had “free” calls, but if I left the state, it was changed to ROAMING and I was charged a premium!

This still applies to my life – ROAMING costs a premium! 🙄💲
When I roam away from God, my life gets hard! 🤦‍♀️
When I roam away from my routine in business, the premium cost is high with a lack of income. 💲
When I roam away from my personal relationships, the cost is encouragement or even personal development. 🤗
Roaming away from my weightloss goals, the premium cost is pounds or inches. 🙄

ROAMING costs you a premium in your life. Are you willing to pay the price? 💵🤔

Random Acts of Kindness Day

Missy Steadman

Social media is a tough place to participate in daily. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a place where people share through the lens of love and kindness, but also through the lens of fear and negativity. We have to choose how we will participate…which lens will we use? 🤔

We have to not only filter what we post, but filter out the negativity and fear of others. It is an influence to our daily mental grind and actions towards others.

Today is Random Acts of Kindness today. Do something kind for a stranger. Do something kind for a friend. Do something kind for a family member. Pay for the prison behind you in the drive through. Not going out today? Send a note in the mail or through messenger to brighten a friend’s day. Big or small, the act is never wasted. 🌞🤗🥰

Conversations and Showing Up

Missy Steadman

I left the junior high last week after a class meeting with the counselors where we planned out Robby’s high school course selection. 🙄 You know, the meeting the length of one class period, where you and your 8th grader plan out his entire life?!🤯

While it is crazy to think about this topic, we were prepared! Robby and I had already talked about options and his interests. We already spoke of his interest in computers and programming so that will be the endorsement he will pursue. ❤💻

I was surprised how many parents were not at the meeting. I’m very thankful that I have the flexibility in my schedule to make a mid-day meeting, I know others aren’t able to do so. The best part of the meeting was Robby giving me a hug bye in front of his friends and teachers. 🤗 Sometimes, just showing up is the love that they need!

The Stories

Missy Steadman

My grandmothers were both good storytellers. Whether it was Granny talking about running the telephone switchboard at Tyler Pipe or Mema talking about switching out the computer key cards at IBM, they always captured my attention. I remember one holiday meal, Granny told a story that took up the whole meal, and still finished her meal at the same time we finished….now that’s an art!😉

These stories were captivating. They were full of details and humor. They were full of history.❤

As I get older, I want to have good stories full of passion for helping others, full of love and family memories, and full of living life. Those are the decisions I’m determined to make. 😍

Little Joys

Missy Steadman

I love finding the little joys in life. This morning, I was able to order my groceries online instead of spending 1.5 hours at the grocery store. When I went back to add items to the order, not once but twice, no one was frustrated with me over my forgetfulness. 🤣🤷‍♀️

Sometimes we have it all together, and other times, we are just trying our hardest to figure it all out, but finding joy in the journey is the key. Oh, and not having to worry about money for groceries, there is joy in that too…❤😍💯

You are a Blade

Missy Steadman

Who do you hang around with? Do they make you a better person? Do they challenge you to be better? Do they support your dreams and goals, cheer you along the way, and give you a real talk when needed? 🎉

Or do they bring you down? Discourage instead of encourage? Bring criticism and negativity into your life? 🤷‍♀️

My team, my tribe, is always sharpening my blade! It was an unexpected blessing that came when I said yes to an opportunity. The women and men who came into my life when I stepped out of my comfort zone help me be a better person. 💯

That opportunity is available to you too…if you’re ready!💪
