<p>Time for another little pep talk, people.  I know you have been working hard. And I wanted to tell you that you are doing a good job!</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t hear it enough as an entrepreneur.  It&#8217;s tough out there.  And maybe you just have a crazy voice in your head that says mean things to you &#8211; shut that voice up and listen to Grandma.  Because you are doing a bang-up job and don&#8217;t you forget it.  Now watch my video to hear more good things about you.</p>

<p>I know you are working hard.  You are exhausted.  And I want you to take some time off &#8211; Grandma&#8217;s orders.  You are working hard on your business and it&#8217;s tough.  Blog, tweet, facebook, link, friend, follow, network, engage, help, serve, blog, tweet, link&#8230;repeat.  Whew!</p>
<p>And what should you do next?  What should be your strategy, your marketing plan, your next move?  Yikes, it&#8217;s overwhelming.  Maybe you are worried that you are <a href="http://grandmamaryshow.com/pep-talk/you-are-doing-it-wrong-and-other-nonsense" target="_blank">doing it wrong</a>.</p>
<p>That is exactly why you need to unplug, take some time for yourself and stop.  Rejuvenate.  Give your brain a break.  So many of us entrepreneurs do not give ourselves permission to rest and celebrate our wins.  This is a marathon, so don&#8217;t burn out.</p>
<p>Remember why your business is fun.  Why did you start your business?  Probably not to be up until 1 a.m. blogging, launching, etc.  Get out into that beautiful day, take a deep breath and reconnect with what makes this fun for you.  Then  come back and say hello.  We&#8217;ll still be here.</p>

I&#8217;ve got news for you folks &#8211; we are ALL doing it wrong.  That&#8217;s right &#8211; you heard me.  I&#8217;m doing it wrong, gurus are doing it wrong, we all get it wrong.  So what?</p>
<p>But we keep doing it.  And sometimes we get it right.  If you get enough things right, at the end of the game you get a little medal that said &#8220;I got it right&#8221; (no you don&#8217;t actually get a medal but that would be nice &#8211; hopefully what you get is a little pile of money which is even better than a medal).</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the fear of getting it wrong stop you.  Let yourself make some mistakes.  Just keep going, keep doing things, learn and move forward.  You can do this, I know you can.  You are a smart cookie.  Don&#8217;t let anyone tell you anything different, not that guru or that nasty little voice in your head.  </p>
<p>You just tell that voice in your head to shut up if it&#8217;s telling you are doing it wrong.  Grandma says so.</p>
<p>Watch the video because I&#8217;ve got some good advice in there too.<br />
