Something about needing help
Also - change the illustration and add a blurb describing the Before
Limiting belief about asking for help
Empowering message - something something important, vital, legitimate - we don’t need someone to save us - just help us build the tools to save ourselves...and the rest of the world.

When you Finish a Project, You’re Actually Building Willpower | Kris With a K | Writing Coach
It’s Life Changing. It feels good like the second-to-last bite of a big café cupcake good (second-to-last, because there’s still one more bite left to look forward to, but you’ve had enough that you can slow down and savour it). That’s good, Kitten. Looking at a creative project that you’ve completed – especially a long, difficult one that you didn’t always know you’d complete – is an amazing feeling. It’s never exactly what you expected it to be – sure – but it’s done. And it’s yours. And it’s DONE! Like we always say: Done is Better than Perfect! And sometimes, it…

My latest series – Brand Plan 2015 – is wrapping up this week, and that means it’s time for the hard part: Following Through With all the Awesome Plans!!! Weeeeeeee! FUN! Right? Nope. Not fun, kitten. This is not a fun time. I’m an idea generating machine over here. You know this; I lament it often. I come up with so many ideas that are excessively exciting to me, but I don’t always continue with each idea through to its completion. Lots of my greatest jump-out-of-the-shower-while-my-hair’s-still-full-of-shampoo-to-write-down-the-genuis-of-it-all ideas get lost somewhere after they are jotted down, then outlined and planned out meticulously, and explained in detail…
