Create the Good You Want to See
“Every day, tell yourself there’s a lot of good in the world, then look for it. Even better, create it.”
– Lori Deschene
I love this quote because it feels honest. It does not ignore the hard stuff. It just reminds us that we still have a choice in how we show up each day.
Running a business can feel heavy at times. There are slow weeks. There are self-doubts. There are moments where you wonder if anyone is even noticing the effort you are putting in. It is easy to slip into a mindset where everything feels like an uphill battle.
But what if we shifted that slightly?
What if, instead of waiting for things to improve, we started noticing what is already working?
That could be a nice message from a client. A small win in your numbers. A conversation that sparked a new idea. These moments are easy to overlook because they are quiet. But they matter and they build momentum.
And once you start noticing the good, something interesting happens – you begin to create more of it.
In a women’s networking space, this becomes even more powerful. We are not just here to exchange business cards or sell services. We are here to support, to lift, and to grow together.
Think about how it feels when someone genuinely listens to you. Not just waiting for their turn to speak but really hearing you. That is creating good.
Think about when someone recommends your business without being asked. That is creating good.
Celebrate Another Woman’s Success
Think about when you celebrate another woman’s success without comparing it to your own journey. That is creating good.
These actions are small, but they shape the entire atmosphere of a group. That is what is so special about Ladies That Do.
It is easy to think that success comes from big moves. Big launches. Big audiences. Big moments. But more often, it is built from small, consistent actions done with intention.
A kind introduction. A thoughtful follow-up message. A bit of encouragement on a tough day.
These are the things that people remember.
As women in business, we often carry a lot. We juggle responsibilities and we manage expectations. We push ourselves to keep going even when we feel tired. So, creating good is not about adding more pressure. It is about choosing how we show up in the moments we are already in.
You do not need to be perfect and you definitely do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to be present and intentional.
Ask yourself simple questions.
- Who can I support today?
- What value can I offer without expecting anything back?
- Where can I bring a bit more honesty into my conversations?
You will be surprised how quickly things shift when you approach your network this way.
Good energy spreads and people feel it. They remember how you made them feel. And that becomes your reputation far more than any sales pitch ever could.
There is also something else worth remembering. Creating good is not just about others. It is also about how you treat yourself.
Are you speaking to yourself with patience? Are you acknowledging your progress? Are you giving yourself credit for showing up, even on the days when it feels hard?
Because the way you treat yourself sets the tone for everything else.
So yes, look for the good. Notice it. Appreciate it.
But do not stop there. Create it.
In your conversations. In your business. In your network. In yourself.
It does not need to be loud or impressive. It just needs to be real.
And over time, those small moments of good will build something much bigger than you ever expected.
Join a networking group with a difference. Join Ladies That Do.
