Hi

I'm Katey

I love technology, events and creating opportunities for personal development and business growth.

As it's hard for my friends to keep up with what it is I do or the thoughts behind those decisions. Decided I would create this blog for them.

Feel free to follow along. There is no subscription newsletter associated with this, just open and honest discussions on Business Development, Mindset and Other Experiments.

How to avoid "Idea-Kryptonitous" and get started

July 18, 20234 min read

Hi, Katey here, you'll see a reference to Tiny Digital Growth which as a difference website I had based solely on automations. Since then have decided to consolidate and have everything under one umbrella-ella because simplifying the process is what I preach and should also be what I practice ;-)

“When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.” - Napoleon Hill

This quote by Napoleon Hill perfectly encapsulates the mindset behind the creation of Tiny Digital Growth.

Yesterday, I posted on LinkedIn - that I am going going to create in the open with an imperfect website, because it's taking me over two months to launch this website as a service.

My typical habit would be to:

  • build the basic pages: home, articles/blog, services, privacy, terms and contact us

  • connect it to social media channels

  • populate it with a few getting started blog posts; and

  • a sequence of onboarding emails.

However, for some reason, this process that would typically take a week to do -- is being interrupted with self doubt and idea-kryptonite.

So many good, fun ideas are flooding my prefrontal cortex along with a solid dusting of self-doubt. To the point, that I am not doing or displaying the skills of digital decluttering and simplification like I would want.

Being able to reduce your mental load is a skill I am proud of and imparting this knowledge in a way that is helpful - is a goal I would like to achieve.

I could outsource this to a Virtual Assistant...

But the truth is, I'll be changing my mind every few minutes. VAs are great at doing the work, implementing and following guides or strategies that have been set out before them. However if you are a crazy brained entrepreneur (also known as a visionary), like I am being at this moment in time, ideas are creating chaos not strategic services.

And because I'm starting from scratch. Right now don't have the time/money to pay for someone to pick up my crazy anxiety driven ideas and run ahead implementing. When in the end...it might get scrapped or transformed into something else.

This does not add value to me, the VA or future clients. So, taking tiny digital growth actions forward on my own is going to be the best thing.

imperfect start

If you want to join the imperfect start, please contact me and we can do it together 👊

So, what's going to happen next?

Beyond crafting this post. I'm going to set up my Social Media publishing tool. This way I can have the content shared on all platforms at the same time.

Right now, I'm having trouble connecting Instagram to my platform. Which is causing me a headache as it shouldn't be this hard to connect it.

It's a small step forward, but it is a step.

If you feel like Social Media is a rabbit hole you are not sure about, tomorrow's post, will be discussing the tools, structure and how I made decisions. Plus how I solve the tech issue of connecting Instagram to my social media publishing tool. I will also be including, if I were to outsource this to a Virtual Assistant/Agency/Website Designer what I would do/recommend.

Also a special thank you to...

Some VAs based in the Philippines...you know who you are. If it wasn't for you pressing me to learn Workflow Automations and how to Optimise Business Owners - I wouldn't be creating this content. You are the key to helping make mine and so many other business owners lives easier.

For my consulting friends, who get this world but aren't ready to jump into a paid done-with-you service yet. Helping you do it yourself, and/or overcome any mental blocks or barriers into entry is what this post is all about.

And lastly, to the Hubboss team, for providing an all-in-one digital business management tool that runs TinyDigitalGrowth as a service. It saves me heaps of time in gluing things together. While it's not for everybody and it is a steep learning curve to getting started on a tool like GoHighLevel, it has been fun.

Thank you!
