Episode 81: Support the Journey, Not Just the Success
In Episode 81 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm coming to you straight from a hotel room in Asheville on our way to Bourbon & Beyond. It's about as real as it gets! This solo episode dives deep into something I've been seeing everywhere lately: people love to support success, but not always the journey that gets someone there. I share the story of landing my first job out of college with no experience by taking an entry-level role and offering to do PR on the side. That PR work ended up landing national press and convincing the firm to hire its first full-time PR person. I also get honest about what happened when I left the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, and what it taught me about who shows up when you're no longer in a position to help. Then I bring it home to The Holmestead Hideaway: why "I can't wait until it's open" isn't enough, and how our Homestead Angels are helping make this dream a reality before the doors ever open. If you've ever been the one with the big dream and not enough believers, or if you've been cheering from the sidelines waiting for someone else to "make it," this episode is for you. It's a reminder that the people who show up early are the ones who make everything else possible. The "B" in Biggie stands for Believe, and this episode is all about believing in someone's vision before anyone else can see it. Key Takeaways: Create your own opportunity when "no experience" is the barrier by offering a win-win Prove your value in the role you have while working toward the one you want Recognize the difference between people who support your success and people who support your journey Notice who stays when you're no longer in a position to help them Show up for people while they're building, not just after they've arrived Support in ways beyond money: share, pray, make introductions, and spread the word Plant seeds now, because you'll need your own early believers someday Explore legacy giving through naming opportunities for a bar, bungalow, pool, or entertainment room Pledge your support toward a milestone without giving anything until the goal is reached Join the Homestead Angels (74 and counting, with over $13,000 raised) on the way to 100 Connect with Us: @neverstopdreamingbiggie @angelpholmes sipindipity.com angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: The Holmestead Bar & Retreat β The Brighter Side Society Become a Homestead Angel The Holmestead First Look & Mini Wellness Retreat in Bequia, first week of November.
