As I am working towards my departure from corporate America soon I am challenging myself with not being afraid to take this big step. I have faith and determination that this will work out and my business will be booming. How do you get through your fears?

Before the beginning of great brilliance and abundance, there must sometimes be utter chaos. I like that thought, although I don't believe every shitty period in life is secretly the universe preparing some magnificent reward for us. Sometimes a mess is just... well... a mess. But I do believe some of the biggest changes in our lives begin when what used to work... doesn't anymore. I've experienced periods where things seemed to be falling apart faster than I could put them back together. Plans changed. People changed. I changed. Things I thought were certain and totally sure, suddenly weren't. And my first instinct was usually to fix everything as quickly as possible and get life back to "normal." Patching the hell out of everything. Looking back, normal wasn't always where I needed to go. Sometimes the chaos was the Universe's way of forcing me to think twice about things I'd gotten way too comfortable accepting. It made me make decisions I'd been avoiding and consider different possibilities I probably wouldn't have considered otherwise. That's the strange thing about disruption. When everything is neatly in its place, there's not much reason to move anything. I have a common saying that sometimes you need to clean out the fridge (your head) of the stuff that's rotting and stinks in there, and put back the good stuff you can still use... Chaos does that for you. It cleans out the fridge. It's uncomfortable as hell while it's happening, and I certainly wouldn't recommend creating unnecessary chaos just for personal growth. Some people thrive on living that way. That's not healthy. Life seems perfectly capable of providing enough of it on its own. But when it does arrive, I'm trying to become a little less afraid of it. I don't immediately assume everything falling apart means I'm failing anymore. Sometimes things have to become unsettled before they can be rearranged into something better. And sometimes, buried somewhere in that big ugly mess, there's the beginning of something you couldn't have imagined when everything was still comfortably in place.

Question 1 Who are you, and what does your life look like right now — the real version, not the LinkedIn version? I'm Lesley, and my life looks a mess right now and had been for 10 months Question 2 Where are you stuck? In neutral in a deep rut, going nowhere Question 3 What's the one thing you most want to figure out in the next 30 days? What is the right format/formula and price point for my books
