Founder, Positive Productivity

Dear friend, it’s important you know and trust I will ALWAYS be honest with you…  EVEN when it means admitting the messy, ugly truths of my own entrepreneurial journey… And I have a lot of messy, ugly truths.

For example, I, Kim Sutton, know what it’s like to…

  • Be inauthentic in my business because I am more concerned with what others thought than being true to myself
  • Focus on quantity instead of quality, offering services because I want money, NOT because I enjoy doing them;
  • Miss important family moments because I “need” one more minute to work;
  • Work 20 hour days, 7 days a week to find my bank account empty and my mental and physical health suffering;
  • Jump from one idea to the next never finishing a project and thus never making money from my ideas;
  • Fall victim to Shiny Object Syndrome, buying courses, products and programs thinking they will success;

I, Kim Sutton, also know how to recover from the above pains. I know because I have personally experienced them!

I know the true cost of letting the expectations of others control our lives, and I don’t want to see you fall victim to the same negative side-effects of entrepreneurship I did.

So… Do you want to continue being a slave to unsatisfying expectations? Or are you ready to create joy and money pursuing your passion?

I’m committed to empowering you with the systems and strategies you need to help you embrace your true calling WITHOUT sacrificing revenue, your health, or time with loved ones.

I invite you to join me on the Work Smarter, Not Harder journey. Subscribe to the podcast, join the community and get ready to see your business and personal life change for the better. I wish you all my best, dear friend, and I can’t wait to see you soar while building a business that’s authentically YOU.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOU?

Much needed self-care and healing time yesterday made it clear that, despite a few people not being in my life anymore, they are occupying a lot of mental space rent-free.⁠

I wish I could snap my fingers and have them out of my brain immediately.⁠

No, that`s not the truth.⁠

There`s this piece of me that still hopes for reconciliation from one of them, a part of me that hopes what I`ve experienced was the result of stress in his life and not an actual representation of who he is. I want an apology for the hurts I experienced and an opportunity to show each other the best of who we are. ⁠

But I realize...⁠
😢 Reconciliation doesn`t always happen. My divorce proved that; ⁠
💭 Despite consistent, constant, evidence proving otherwise, I wanted to believe he was good and truly cared about me (as he said he did);⁠
❓ When reconciliation doesn`t happen, closure isn`t guaranteed. I may be left with questions.⁠

Questions and lack of reconciliation or closure don`t mean I need to allow people, especially toxic people, to remain in my mind rent-free. ⁠

I don`t know how exactly I`m going to do it, but I am working to bring my thoughts back to me, elevated, happy, and focused on people and opportunities who are happy to expend as much energy into me as I do into them.⁠

Every day, multiple times a day, this sweet girl gets up into my face to get love and give me love.⁠

She butts my face and swats me if I ignore her, and one of her preferred ways to give dog kisses is to try to gnaw my cheek.⁠

She will sleep in a chair next to my bed staring at me, and will whine anytime I move. She is my watchdog, watching over me physically and emotionally, letting me know, nonstop, I am loved.

Some patterns (habits) are so freaking difficult to break.⁠

Like finding my worth in other people or my accomplishments, trying to get over somebody by getting with somebody else, and choosing to stay busy rather than work through my bad habits.⁠

I`ve been waking up for the past few weeks with severe, severe anxiety. I`ve been sleeping through the night without using any type of aid to do so (something I haven`t been able to do in 5+ years), but, as soon as my alarm rings my anxiety goes through the roof. ⁠

I can`t even pinpoint what`s triggering the anxiety. Despite what I`ve gone through over the past 18 months, I can`t say that it`s the loss of people I cared about or fears about my role as a single mom that are bothering me. The anxiety is just... THERE.⁠

But you know what pattern I haven`t repeated?⁠
Using alcohol or nicotine to numb my pain.⁠
For the first time in 27 years, I am both alcohol AND nicotine free.⁠

I know it`s time for me to focus on healthy habits and patterns in my life.⁠
It`s time for me to stop rushing through processes just to repeat the same, painful patterns.⁠
It`s time for me to learn who I am, love her, and embrace life AS her.⁠

"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free." ~Ephesians 6:7-8⁠

Some people will go out of their ways to help others, even if/when it means giving more of themselves than they can afford. Other people won`t drive two minutes out of their way to give a struggling friend a hug. Which type of person are you?

This morning I asked God for something. Without getting deep into details, what I asked for was something to help along my healing journey, allowing me to release and move forward.⁠

Within two hours, in a rather convoluted way, God delivered EXACTLY what I had asked for. The tool I sought was delivered into my hands and, despite how it hurt to touch, I couldn`t debate that what I sought had been delivered.⁠

Previous versions of me would have gone back to Him, questioning whether the delivery was really from Him. Previous versions of me would have asked for proof. This me says once is enough, especially when the delivery is as fast as could be.⁠

Don`t ask God to do something, friend, if you don`t truly want what you`re asking for. You may be surprised just how fast He follows through IF what you ask is according to His will.
