You know that big, audacious dream that keeps tugging at your heart? The one that lights you up inside but also feels overwhelming? If you're like most women entrepreneurs, side hustlers, or ambitious professionals, you’ve probably told yourself, "I’ll start when the timing is right," or "Once I have everything figured out, I’ll take action."
But here’s the harsh truth: waiting for the perfect time is what keeps you stuck.
Most people approach success backwards. They follow a "Have-Do-Be" model: Once I HAVE the right resources, then I’ll DO the work, and finally, I’ll BE the person who achieves that dream.
But guess what? That model is broken.
The CBD Approach: Commit. Be. Do.
Instead of waiting for the stars to align, let’s flip the script. The real secret to achieving your dreams without overwhelm is to follow the Commit. Be. Do. (CBD) approach.
Commit: Stop Trying. Start Doing.
There’s a difference between trying and committing. Trying gives you an out. Committing eliminates the option to quit. It means deciding, right now, that your dream is non-negotiable. It’s happening, PERIOD!
Think about it—when you’re pregnant, you don’t "try" to have a baby. You commit to the journey, knowing there’s no turning back. That’s the kind of unwavering commitment required to bring your dreams to life.
A Story About Commitment…Unwavering Commitment
Remember those "just married" jitters? I was barely 20 when I walked down the aisle with my hubby, Chad, back in 1994. Looking at those photos now, I can’t help but think, Whoa, Stacey, you were a baby!
We were young, adventurous, and in love, but cash was tight. In 1998, baby talk started swirling around our conversations. We weren’t sure if we were ready, but we decided to ditch the "not trying" mindset and see what happened.
A few months later, my body sent some very interesting signals—my nose turned against me, and my favorite laundry detergent suddenly smelled like a chemical attack. My boobs? Felt like they’d been stuffed with sandpaper. Then came the chat with my mom. Her advice? "Honey, a pregnancy test might be in order."
Minutes later, I stared at the plastic stick that held our future. Two bright blue lines. Boom. We were pregnant!
At my first OB-GYN appointment, I had no clue when my last period was. “No worries,” my doctor assured me. “We’ll do a vaginal ultrasound to confirm how far along you are.” Sounds simple, right? Until I saw the ultrasound wand—a long, intimidating contraption. And I was not thrilled. But guess what? I was fully committed. No turning back. And in an instant, I saw a tiny flicker on the screen—our baby’s heartbeat. All the discomfort melted away.
Fast forward 28 weeks, and we welcomed our son, Hayden, a month early at 4 lbs, 4 oz. Four years later, Brendan arrived—though I spent the last month of that pregnancy hobbling around on crutches after breaking my foot at 34 weeks.
Pregnancy is a wild ride. Some women breeze through it, while others (like me) experience nausea, exhaustion, and way too many midnight bathroom runs. But no matter how tough the journey, quitting isn’t an option. There’s an unwavering belief that, no matter what, you will bring that baby into the world.
So why don’t we tap into that same unwavering commitment as entrepreneurs?
Success isn’t about things going smoothly. It’s about making a non-negotiable decision to see your dreams through—no matter what bumps show up along the way. I was barely 20 when I walked down the aisle with my hubby, Chad, back in 1994. Looking at those photos now, I can’t help but think, Whoa, Stacey, you were a baby!
We were young, adventurous, and in love, but cash was tight. Then, in 1998, baby talk started swirling around our conversations. We weren’t sure if we were fully ready, but we decided to ditch the "not trying" mindset and just see what happened.
Be: Step Into the Identity of the Woman Who Succeeds
If you don’t know how to be the person who achieves your goals, start by acting as if you already are. Not in a fake-it-‘til-you-make-it way, but in a practice being her now way.
Want to be a confident CEO? Make decisions like one today. Want to be financially independent? Manage your money like someone who already is. When you become that woman in your daily actions, your success starts catching up to you.
Do: Take Bold, Aligned Action
The "doing" part isn’t just about working harder—it’s about taking the right actions. It means making the tough calls, saying no to distractions, and prioritizing what moves the needle.
It’s about:
Making the hard decisions, even when they scare you.
Having the tough conversations, even when they make you uncomfortable.
Taking action, even when you don’t feel "ready."
Final Words: Ditch the "Have-Do-Be" Approach & Choose CBD Instead
Stop waiting to "have" everything figured out before you start. Choose to commit now, be the person who wins, and do what needs to be done. That’s the formula for real, lasting success.
