Being an entrepreneur has been one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made, but there are times when I’ve questioned if I truly am on the right track.  If you have an entrepreneur in your life, take some time out today to let them know that you love them, support them, and are rooting for them to succeed.  It will mean to them than you will ever know.  Go ahead and show some love to an entrepreneur in your life!

One theme that continued to rise up during the entire day was that most people don’t have what they need in their life and business, because they don’t ask for it.  Simply put.  Think about the #1 thing that you need in your business, right now.  Maybe it is more finances or more customers or maybe it’s assistance on a project or task.  Chances are the reason that you don’t have more money, more customers, more assistance or whatever else you need, is because you simply have not asked for it.

I think about when I joined a network marketing company and I desperately wanted to reach a specific rank in the company, and although, financially, I was making a good income from it, I would never reach that rank unless I grew my team.  Months and months and eventually years went by, where I remained at one particular rank, because I was too afraid to ask people if they wanted to join the business opportunity with me.  I was afraid that they would reject me or say “NO”, and I let that fear keep me stuck in a certain position.

The reality was that yes, some people did say “NO” and some people did “reject” me.  But, the greater reality was that – it didn’t kill me! Someone saying “NO” or “rejecting” you won’t kill you and whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  So think about what it is that you want and be very clear about it, then go out there as ASK for what you want!   You may hear a bunch of “NO’s” but how would your business and your life change with that one “YES”?   Kick your fears aside and go for NO until you get your yes!

Here’s to a successful week where you ask for what you want and GET IT!

As you think about your life and your business, identify your top goals and priorities.  As you think about those goals and priorities, think about the boundaries that you should set to ensure that you are able to focus on your goals and priorities.  It may be difficult to say “No” to certain things, but if it puts you in position to have more success in your personal life and your business, then this is a MUST!  Treat your goals and priorities like they are precious, by setting up boundaries in your life and your business, you will be able to protect your goals and priorities and be able to commit more fully to them.  This is critical to your success!

Hopefully, you will no longer be afraid of the “B” word, but if you are still having trouble with setting the proper boundaries, I invite you to join me on my next Group Coaching Call on Wednesday, May 15th at 8PM EST.  To register, click here.

One of the biggest takeaways for me, was taking the time to truly identify and write out what success in life really looked like to me.  This wasn’t in a sentence or two, but I wrote an entire page, fully detailed out. It was amazing, because it set the tone for how I wanted to structure my life and my business.   I realized that because I was unclear in what success truly looked like to me, I was taking on projects and clients that didn’t truly support what I wanted in my life and my business. I was overworked and overwhelmed; ultimately, I was sabotaging my success. But those days are long gone!

One of the things that we worked on were Life and Business Policies.  These are the things that we create that we must live by and they are created to be aligned with your vision of success. So, I am proud to announce that one of my Life Priorities is that I will no longer take coaching clients during the Summer Months, so I can use that time to focus on renewing myself and working on my business.  I’m excited because I have so many ideas for new programs, products, and books, but I haven’t had the time to get them done, so this summer, will be the time to make that happen. So stay tuned for the new things coming down the pipeline!

Have a great and successful week!

I asked her about her current work situation and she told me, almost with tears in her eyes, how miserable she was at her current job and that it was beginning to cause anxiety in her life, because she was so unhappy. Her relationship with her long time boyfriend was beginning to suffer because she was so unhappy.  It was painful to hear how unhappy she was, especially, because I knew that she would have more happiness and fulfillment in her life, if she would launch her business and spend her time doing what she loved.

Her story is not very unusual, as I can totally relate to her story because 3 years ago, I was in the same boat (minus the $25,000 in the bank).  There comes a time in our lives where we will get to the point where we will have to move past our fears, our doubts, our failures, our negative friends and family, and those little voices in our heads telling us that we can’t do something.  If you want to live the life of your dreams, the life that you deserve to live, it is up to you to say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”  I challenge you, right now, to take out a piece of paper and a pen and write down those things or people who are holding you back.  Once you identify them, I want you to make  plan of action to either eliminate them from your life or minimize your interaction with that thing or person.  You are destined to live a life full of abundance and fulfillment and now is your time to live that life! I dare you to live the life of your dreams

Every morning, I google an inspirational video to help me jumpstart my day and I thought it was ironic that this was the video that I found.  It is a message from Steve Jobs giving advice for entrepreneurs and it was in total alignment with how I felt this weekend.

Check it out!

You see, it’s all about Passion! It is what keeps you motivated and engaged with your business. A lot of the people that I work with and coach, tell me that they have lost the passion in their business because they are frustrated with not getting the results that they are seeking.  This can be stressful and even cause you to contemplate closing up shop.  If you are at this place in your business, I invite you to join me next week for a free 5 day marketing training.  I will focus on some of the areas that may be holding you back from having big success in your business.  If you are interested, I personally invite you to join me on the calls.  If you can’t attend live, you can still receive the recordings if you register.

I hope to have you join me!

So, make this week a great one and get ready to kick it up a notch in February!

In both cases, and sorry for the frankness, you are setting yourself up for failure. You are setting yourself up to continue living a life that is limiting you from experience the fullness of life! You were meant to have a wonderful, prosperous, successful and happy life and each year it is supposed to be even better! In order for that to happen, setting goals and working reaching those goals is very necessary! However, before you even begin to set your goals, you have to come to the understanding of your purpose. The moment that I realized my life’s purpose, which came when I was going through one of the most devastating seasons in my life, everything became clear to me. I now understood what it was that I was put on this earth to do. As an entrepreneur, business owner, coach, speaker, and author it was my sole responsibility to serve and help others through my gifts, talents and passions.

Once I understood my purpose, everything changed. I began to truly focus on living a healthier life by exercising and eating healthier, eliminating negative people from my life, saving more money and reading more personal development books because I knew that those things would greatly improve the quality of my life. I needed to be in the best mental, physical, emotional, and financial position that I could be in, because I couldn’t live my life’s purpose if I was stressed, sick, depressed, and broke! Remember, I was put on this earth to help people to change their lives and their businesses through my coaching, training, speaking, and products. From there, setting goals became a lot easier for me, but the kicker was that accomplishing those goals was even easier. Why? Because I now had clarity in what I needed to do. This helped me to determine what habits I needed to adopt, along with the actions that I needed to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis. I now had a plan of action to use to help me accomplish my goals that were purpose driven.

If you have found yourself at the same place at the beginning and end of each year, maybe it is time that you made your focus on tapping into your purpose. It’s not an easy task and it requires you to get “real” with yourself and take a deep dive into who you are and who you want to become. But I promise you, it is well worth the journey of discovery. Ask yourself, “What was I put on this earth to do?” “What will my legacy be?” “Who can I help?” “How will I know when I’ve achieved my life’s purpose?”

Go for it…
