Hey ,

This month marks the 3-year anniversary that I left my marriage and drove across country to start a new life in Los Angeles (also my 3 year LA anniversary, yay).

I remember being simultaneously empowered and also ashamed making the trek.

I was embarrassed that my marriage had “failed” (taken to mean that I, too, was a failure), I didn’t tell any of my friends about my decision or about the dissolution of my relationship. I didn’t post on social media.

I literally showed up at my friend (and assistant) Sara’s doorstep in Denver, and then at Neghar Fonooni’s house in LA, like, hi, I live here now👋 Car full of every belonging I had, heart broken, lonely as heck but knowing deeply that what I was doing was what needed to happen for my future.

And while we can’t ever know if the decisions we make are the “right” ones (something that I see plaguing so many of us: “I don’t know what the right decision is!”), I believe that there’s opportunity both logistical (how might my life be different/better as a result of this change?) AND emotional (how might I grow as a person because of this struggle?) whenever we just make a decision.

There’s no right decision.

There’s only the one you choose.

And then you’re just following that path, doing your best, navigating the discomfort and pain, until it gets a little easier, and a little easier, and eventually you can look back and feel proud of yourself, having earned that little bit more confidence and self-trust.

The first decision is always the hardest.

After that, it’s just a series of smaller decisions that you need to make now that you’ve chosen.

I choose right. At least that the story I am telling myself—because what’s the alternative?

But as a result of my one big decision, I’ve had the honor to meet, connect with and love on some amazing people and opportunities that I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

So when you’re paralyzed out of fear of “making the wrong decision,” realize there actually isn’t a wrong choice.

Any decision will move you, and give you the opportunity to uncover the next great adventure—good, bad, or ugly.

Action is the great elucidator.

And YOU are the one you’ve been waiting for.

Have a great weekend!

Xo,

Jill

P.S. I just opened up a handful of spots for the annual JillFit Fitness Business Retreat in September in Boston, MA.

This is the ONE live event I hold every year that’s open to the public. I get messages constantly from people asking about meetups and events – here’s your chance to come hang!

CHECK ALL THE DETAILS HERE ($200 OFF until August 15^th)

This is event is specifically for health/fitness pros and enthusiasts who want to learn about online business: social media, getting more distance coaching clients, creating online programs and courses, etc., and MOST IMPORTANTLY it’s an incredible opportunity to meet up and network with other pros (and members of the JillFit Mastermind) to grow your platform and collaborate, etc.

I consciously started investing in attending live events in 2012, and it was in 2013 that I put it on a credit card and joined fellow fitness pros Jen Sinkler and Neghar Fonooni at a week-long retreat in Sedona. And not only did the super successful Radiance Retreat event come out of that weekend, but numerous other collaborations, opportunities and life-long friendships.

Attending live events is a 1% action.

Meaning, not many people will do it.

They’ll say it’s too hard, too expensive, too much of a hassle, "I’ll catch the next one." And they never do.

You’re either someone who want to engage, learn and grow, or you’re someone who continues to decline because it’s scary and too hard to make happen. I get it, but I hope you’ll be the former, and I’ll get to see you IRL and help you grow your online platform.

Guest speakers, strategy sessions, plenty of social time and everything you need to know to launch and grow your online biz. You do not need to have a business currently to get so much out of the weekend!

Early Bird rate is $200 off, good through August 15^th. Get your ticket HERE (only 18 spots available total).

Let me know if you have any questions! Xo
