Day 5: Trade Show Season Begins

January 5, 2019 by Tracy 11,933 Comments
January starts the new year and the beginning of agriculture trade show season. Before holidays, I mapped out all the events across Canada and started mapping my corresponding trade show/event/sales travel for 2019. Looks like I will have about 12 weeks on the road.  It’s going to be a busy and successful 2019. I can feel it in every fibre of my being. This travel kills a few birds with one stone. Attending these events support event partnerships, gives our company exposure and allows me to capture great speakers for future Impact Farming Show episodes. I also loop in sales travel if I have clients in that city. Uber efficient I tell you. No other way to be!

What a journey the last year has been! I put together and finalized the concept for our show in Q1 & Q2, bite the bullet and organized my first interviews for Farm Progress. I just made it happen! I wanted to build up a stash of content for our August 8th launch. In 2018, I did the following events; Farm Progress in Regina, Ag in Motion outside Saskatoon, Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Advancing Women in Ag in Niagara, MB Farm Women’s Conference in Winkler and Ag Ex in Winnipeg.

I enjoy being on the road. It’s done wonders for our exposure, industry presence, website content and sales. Personally, travel invigorates me, reenergizes me and gives me so many great new business ideas. Well…until it’s done in excess. Then I can get just plain tuckered out!

Even more important is the people you meet and the relationships you form. This year has been phenomenal.  Having the show has given me the opportunity to reach out, interview and get to know some of the brightest minds and best people in agriculture. I also met so many amazing guys and gals at these events! I will do a whole seperate post on this at another time.

With all that said, I am looking forward to a 2019 that will blow the already amazing 2018 out of the water.

Here I come. Every day I am hustling!

Your travelling friend,

Tracy

Day 4: Judgement Detox

January 4, 2019 by Tracy 7,872 Comments
Judgement Detox. Wait! Whoa! What? That was exactly what I said the first time I saw Gabby’s new book. Sorry Gabby. I am absolutely a FAN of you and your work and I have read several of your books. I just didn’t think I had a judging problem. It’s not like I am all “look at her shoes” or “omg she wore that”. That is soooooo high school and definitely not me, so I passed on the book around the time that she launched it thinking that I didn’t need it. “I don’t have a judging problem” is exactly what I thought.

Then the other day, I actually spent some time scrolling through Instagram. Lately, I have been a post and run kind of social media person and have not spent much time actually consuming social media content. I ended up landing on someone who interviewed x person, I clicked on them and they had a picture of them and Gabby. I started scrolling through Gabby’s feed and realized that she had been pregnant and had actually just had her baby. Yeah Gabby!!!! Congrats!!! She has been very open with her conception journey and it’s taken a while. I am so happy for her, her husband and her little baby boy Oliver.

Anyways I digress. Back to my story. I started scrolling through Gabby’s Instagram posts and came upon an article that she wrote about Resistance. Wow did it ever strike a cord!!! Not only that, it seemed like Divine timing.

Can you relate? Your struggling with something, problem/challenge/somewhere you need to grow, and you don’t know where to find the answer. Then in a miraculous instant (or a touch longer ?) the answer falls right into your proverbial lap. The answer might come in the form of a podcast, book or article that you “stumble” upon. I say “stumble” in quotes because I fully believe there is never any stumbling involved. Just the same…the result, the answer you needed and it’s arrival, is as miraculous as the seven wonders of the World.
▫️
Have you ever had that happen? Well, my answer came via an article. I love Gabby, however, I have been soaking up the knowledge from different brilliant minds lately. As you can tell. I didn’t even know she was pregnant. So the fact that I “stumbled” upon her through a series of different Instagram accounts, and rarely have the time consume social content, reassures me that I am still divinely guided ?

I read Gabby’s article and it was all about resistance and judgment. As I read, I realized there many types of judgments including self-judgment which is the most detrimental of all types. Being an achiever and improvement seeker, I know that self-judgement can definitely become an issue if not monitored. We always tend to be our own biggest critic.

This article was a game changer. As I read it, I realized that I did judge and my judgment and resistance in life are probably my two biggest stumbling blocks right now. Self-judging and Resistance (control). They always say swim with the tide as it’s less resistance. In other words, go with the flow. Heck, I always try to change the tide…Tracy style. Control and grit are necessary traits for success in life. I personally credit both of those traits for much of my success in life, however, too much control and judging block flow/love and this blocks all good things in life. In can also make you miserable and feel like you are always chasing your tail.

It resonated so well that I immediately bought her book on Amazon. I am reading it in the evenings before I go to bed. I will keep you posted on what I learn in future blog posts. Welcome back into my life Gabby!

In case this article might also be your gentle nudge or answer to your current challenge, I figured that I should share it and let the gift of this article keep on giving.

Here is the link for the article here. Happy reading my friends!

Bless you, ? Gabby Bernstein and bless your new baby boy. May you live in the abundance and joy that you so generously help others to find ?

Your self help loving friend,
Tracy

Day 3: Slipped Already

January 3, 2019 by Tracy 6,660 Comments
Islipped on my 365 day posting challenge already. I am going to post this for the correct day, however, honesty is the most important thing to me so I must confess. This post is done a day late. Today, January 4th I will be posting twice.

There is never a truly valid excuse, however, in my defense, I was ill, ill and even iller. This is the second time I have had this strange out of nowhere sickness that feels like what I would imagine food poisoning to be. Strange indeed. Anyways, I am alive and getting ready to start my workday.

This was completely out of the blue and unexpected but I am going to use this as an opportunity to access my schedule and where I am going to put this activity in my day. What I do know from establishing what I would proudly call “very strong discipline”, is that if it’s not prepared for or scheduled into the day, it’s bound to fail. As they say…

“Failing to plan, is planning to fail.”

That is the truth through and through. With that being said, I have been doing this late and night when I was tired, least inspired and in the highest position to forget about it or try to get out of it. Similar to why exercising every morning is a must for me. Personally, if I waited for the evenings, when I have more time like I tried so many times I would not have an established exercise routine.

If I would like to succeed at this challenge, this needs to change. Mornings? Not my best time and I am way too hardcore into work mode in the mornings. My time before my day is spent prepping for a successful work day. I CANNOT interrupt that routine. Lunch. Hit and miss? Because I work till it’s a good time to break my work pattern, not ideal. End of the day? Very likely. Right after supper? Probably a great time. I will experiment between those two times and find a winner. I do LOVE this daily blogging though. Exactly like journaling. I love writing. Above and beyond that, there is something therapeutic and enlighting about getting your thoughts down on paper. I feel better and very similar to that great conversation with a friend concept. I also learn and formulate my thoughts and ideas 100 times better by putting them on paper. That must be my visual tendencies shining through again.

Anyways, I better run. I have to go conquer the World 🙂

Your blogging friend,
Tracy
