The ebbs still come, but less dramatically.
Flow comes more frequently and eventually you can trigger it on your own.
But you can't get there without clarity.

Musings from My Desk
A very simplified view on people, maybe. But you can likely relate. Are you one of the idea people, project people, or worker bees?
We need all of these people to get ideas off the ground. Sometimes we’re even playing all the roles. In my honest opinion, to have a collective sense of joy, ease, and flow (with you, your clients, your people), having people in the right roles aligned with their strengths is key.

There is no reason at all why having what you want isn’t possible.
What do you really, really want though? This is a big and not so simple question to answer.

As I sit here thinking about all the goals, ideas, plans that I’ve come up with since I was a girl compared to all the things I’ve spent my life doing, I realize that my process for getting from here to there isn’t much different today from what it was twenty five plus years ago.
Basically it goes like this…
