How I Broke Down My Business Because I Tried to Be Normal
Can You Break Down a Succesful Businesss?
Eight years ago, a miracle happened. I opened my computer and wrote a book. In 3 weeks. I wrote it in a language that wasn’t mine. I created art for it, designed a cover, started a publishing agency - because why not -, and published The Wonderfully Weird Woman’s Manual, How to Thrive & Bloom when you're Fiercely Bright, Feel too Much, and Have Way too Many Passions
Less than 48 hours later, 1200 people had bought my book.
Many women–and quite a lot of men -. My book was being passed around by family members and friends: “Read this! This is a manual about me. It will help you understand who I am.”
I received wonderful reviews and emails from women who told me they cried and laughed all throughout the book. “I’m Wonderfully Weird! Not a fluke. Not a failure. I’m just wonderfully weird.“
Wonderfully Weird became a hero’s name. I started a club, people signed up, and there were t-shirts, bags, and buttons.
Yay! Gigantic success. Well done me!!!
And then something mind blowing happened. I experienced deep mind-gutting shame.
Writing this book had been so easy. It only took me 3 weeks. It was worthless. A stupid fluke. Not real. A big fat mistake. Maybe I didn’t forget the book at first. Maybe I just forced it back into the bottom drawer of my memory, under the box with widowed socks and keys.
I replaced all mentions of the book, erased it from my website, and moved on to less sensitive pastures.
I wanted to be normal. Well, of course not boring normal, but maybe more contained creative. A bit wild, but IN a box. My business grew, serious amounts of money were coming in, and I had a team of 7 people from all over the world. Money came in.
And then I broke it all down.
Why? Because I forgot my own manual. I wanted to be something I was not. Recognize that? Do you Wish there was a Manual for you too? I’ve got something for you.
