This year saw me walk right off the cliff believing that the parachute would open and so far it has.  It has not been easy nor has it been perfect but I am still here and I have not given up.  I believe that anything worth having or doing will take time to develop and grow.  There will be challenges, there will be obstacles, and it will look pointless but if you have CERTAIN BELIEF that it’s what you’re supposed to be doing then you’ll just keep pushing on.

Being clear about My Why

This year I became very clear about WHY I am so passionate about what I’m doing.  I believe that if I don’t say it, then who will?  I always think about the message the great Donna Brazile gave us at a conference I went to.

Why you?  Because there’s no one better

Why now?  Because tomorrow is not soon enough – Donna Brazile

I’m taking that charge seriously because I see way too much misinformation and people spreading the message of self loathing and convincing people that they need fixing.  Someone needs to stand up and say that there is a better way and that this doesn’t work.  I feel that if I don’t do it, then who will?  That’s part of my WHY to see more people LIVE BETTER.

Go Get it and Let it Come

I am a self admitted control freak and linear thinker.  I like to know all the answers ahead of time and I like it to go boom, boom, boom.  How many know life doesn’t work that way?  This year I’ve learned that the way to go is to GO GET IT and then let it come.  I have to make the move, I have to take the risk, and then things will flow along as they should.  I had so many instances this year where I would take a deep breath, press send, and then I would get a message or opportunity that I needed at that moment.

Sitting around complaining or hoping that things would change doesn’t work.  In order for you to do anything big, there is some type of risk and possibility of epic failure.

Wouldn’t you like to know that you at least tried and went down in flames over not trying at all and having only memories for regrets?

Mindset Matters Most

This year I went through the Mindset Performance Institute Level 1 Training.  I went through it to better learn how to help coach clients and people in regards to their mindset because that is the REAL reason why people continue to live unhealthy lifestyles.  With all of the research I’ve done this year, it comes back to one thing:  what’s between your ears.

That certification proved to be just as much for my own personal growth as it was for my professional development.  I love this point that the founder of MPI Brian Grasso made in regards to setting goals for 2016

Don’t determine it to be “hard”. Don’t refer to it as “overcoming obstacles”.And don’t consider it something that needs “willpower”. That’s creating an “opponent” for no reason.It takes what can be achieved simply and adds the complexity of “challenge”. There really is nothing in your way. Nothing, but you.

There is so much self imposed martyrdom on social media that people feel as if they aren’t suffering, then they aren’t trying hard enough.  Very successful people do not get caught up in that because they are focused on the goal.  People who want attention on social media have lots of time to inform everyone of how hard they are working, how much they are suffering, how much they are going to battle, and how many obstacles they are facing.  I have to roll my eyes majorly when this is in reference to eating chicken breasts and going to the gym.

You don’t need to create an opponent to beat to feel powerful.  You need to focus on acknowledging all the REAL reasons why you’re holding yourself back and letting those go so that you can get it done.  That’s the secret to Lifestyle Transformation.  It’s uncovering the real reasons why you’re not successful.

Go Get it and Let it come

I firmly believe that when you are INTENTIONAL about going after it, then the opportunities will come but Beloveds, ‘YOU MUST DO THE WORK”.  YOU have to take the risks, YOU have to put in time, YOU have to get it started.

When I quit my job in order to pursue my Outrageous Dream that was my move to GO GET IT and it’s coming: the ideas, the plans, the strategies, the process, and eventually the results.

Looking forward to an exciting and prosperous 2016.  Let’s go Get it, Let it Come, and LIVE BETTER
