You’re Already An Entrepreneur – Now Get To Work!

There is no such thing as a free ride. It all gets balanced at the end of the day, so you might as well put in the effort NOW!

Sometimes the payment is currency, sometimes it is pure energy (which is actually one and the same, and will be explained in another post). There are a lot of slackers out in the world that just want to make a quick dollar. There is nothing wrong with the desire to get rich overnight. Everyone should be so lucky! For most of us it takes work and focus, no matter what “business” you’re in. I personally have been guilty of being lazy minded, in the past. I always had an excuse that sounded good to me at the time, only to realize later that it still didn’t get me any closer to what I wanted.

The time for excuses and laziness is OVER!! We all have the desire to live a comfortable life, free from debt, a life of luxurious places and things. How many of us are willing to do whatever it takes to get there?

It takes work to get to the point of enjoying the fruits of your labor. Just like you have to make plane reservations to take a trip overseas (and pay for it), you have to do things (take action) to succeed and have freedom, no matter what industry you are focused on.

Notice I said FOCUS.

Stop career hopping! Too many times, we are approached by well-meaning friends and family members, trying to sell us on the next big thing. We fall for it because it sounds good, and looks promising on paper. We put in our hard-earned money to sign up, all the while praying for payday, or at the very least to break even!

Did it occur to you at that point what it was going to take to WORK this new business? Less personal time? Money? Emotional setbacks? Loss of family time? And what about the HUGE learning curve at the beginning of this new venture?

If you have never owned a business, or been in a high level position at your job, then you may have a long road ahead of you. Those who have successfully worked in MLM’s, Marketing, and even Network Marketing, have an advantage over those who are not familiar with the “politics” or the business of business. There is an overwhelming amount of information online, and can be difficult to navigate if you don’t know what sources to trust. It’s not impossible, though, and can be great fun. You just have to know where to go for the answers.

I love to read, I love to do research. But MAN! You can waste your life away trying to weed your way through all of that “stuff” to get some tiny little nugget, that you can only hope will help you expand your new business and make you TONS of money. I discovered along the way, that while learning is a good thing, and should be done, there is much to say about just DOING IT!! Don’t hide behind the excuse of “Well, I’m trying to learn all I can BEFORE I do anything.”

The best teacher is ACTION! You will feel less overwhelmed if you are taking action with what you have learned.

If you are looking for leadership and inspiration, check out the company you’re with. Who are the leaders? Who is living the life you want? Get to know them and what they do on a daily basis, to achieve the level they maintain. If you are not yet involved with a company, or currently on your own - starting out or lacking progress, look to those who already inspire you. There are plenty of personalities to choose from! I have some personal favorites, if you are interested!

Let’s go back to FOCUS for a minute. Pick one company. Two, if you know what you’re doing, and understand what you’re in for. If you are involved with an MLM company or some form of Network or Direct Marketing, stick with it for a while. I don’t mean 6 weeks and you’re out,  if it “doesn’t work”. Chances are, it’s YOU that isn’t working! You have to give it at least ONE YEAR of true work and learning, sometimes longer to reap the benefits of the seeds you have planted. Go ahead and learn, but do it while you’re WORKING the business! If you are involved with a great company, you will have mentors to help you along the way. Not those people who just set you up in the computer and get your credit card information, but true leadership and support. They will have meetings, phone calls, webinars, etc. They will be the kind of people who will “show up” for you in every way. These are the people you WANT to work with while growing your business. They are the people YOU will be one day, once you have a handle on what you’re doing. But give it time, and give it your ALL.

You are already well on your way to an AWESOME life because you’re searching for information and answers. Don’t ever stop learning. Just don’t forget to DO THE WORK!

Enjoy the ride!

How To Move Faster Than Your Fears!

Lights…Camera…ACTION!

It’s the same in our lives – ACTION is required if we are to get anywhere. When we are inspired by an idea, there is an incredible amount of energy behind it. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, no other thoughts can get in. It’s a Sacred Moment frozen in time. You’re excited, and giddy with the possibilities!

This is exactly the time you need to move your a$$!!!

Use this FREE energy and power from the Universe. Eventually this initial burst of enthusiasm may slow down. You’ve noticed it in the past. When fear starts to set in, it’s because you’ve stopped taking ACTION.

Do you really want to know how to move faster than your fear?

KEEP TAKING ACTION!

Massive Action.

Constantly and Consistantly.

Learn. Take Action. Learn. Take Action. Keep doing this over and over until you achieve your goals.

When you get an idea about something, an inspirational thought or feeling, it contains within it ALL the energy and resources needed to come out of the gate running with your hair on fire! The reason for this is because momentum is vital to a successful beginning. What happens when you don’t take action right away? Well, you may find that in time (very short time) the idea you had has been done by someone else!

We seem to forget that the Universe is not picky – it doesn’t give ideas to some and not others. Think of the Universe giving ideas in the form of a cylinder.

Everyone under that cylinder has the same access to the ideas and resources needed to carry out those ideas, and create them in our reality!

So make sure you take Immediate, Massive ACTION!

What inspiration has the Universe given you recently? GO! NOW!

In the event that you would rather feel the fear and refuse to take action, please do me a favor and leave a comment with your great idea, and I’LL RUN WITH IT!

 

INSANITY Day 4 (sort of) – Starting Again….

Speaking of starting again, this will be the second time I’m writing this out because I had connection issues!

So, here we go….again!

My husband and I started with the Fit Test last Wednesday, did the workouts on Thursday and Friday. Then we went out of town, to visit with family. No workout for Saturday or Sunday. This morning we woke up and did the workout that is on the schedule for Monday of week 2. So what day does this actually count as?

Our feet were sore from the workouts last week, so having 2 days off was a good thing – if only for that reason! Who wants to continue with sore feet? And what’s that all about anyway?

As much as we wanted to stay in bed at 6:30am, we knew we had to get up and just PUSH THROUGH IT! With the kids still asleep, it makes for a perfect opportunity to focus and get it done. I just thought about how true that is for business as well – while the others in your industry are “sleeping”, take that opportunity to GO FOR IT! It just so happens you will get more done with less interruptions!

With this new goal to get physically stronger and healthier, it can’t help but make our family life and business life better as well. Nothing is separate – everything joins together at some point, so it makes sense that changes will happen everywhere.

Are your choices making changes for the better?

Are your thoughts and choices moving you in a forward – positive way? If not, change your THOUGHT, then change your ACTION.

THOUGHT + ACTION = RESULT

What are you thinking about? What are you doing? If the two conflict, you will get nowhere! Just wanting to reach a goal, and thinking how great it would be to achieve it are not enough. You must also move forward with ACTION to create a result. Of course, if you give little to the thought, and even less to the action, you will get a less than desirable result. But hear this: You will always get some sort of result. Just look in the mirror of your life. What have you put out? What have you gotten in return?

It would be of no use to do the INSANITY workout, if I was not willing to go all the way. Sure, I can do it half way and get some sort of result, but it would be nothing compared to how great it will be at the end of my 60 days because I pushed myself and went all the way (or at least as far as I can go!). My body has been through so much up until this point anyway – with the birth of both my girls. There is nothing like carrying a human being inside you, stretching your body to crazy limits! Then there’s the birth itself. I had 2 C-Sections, not by choice, and that’s AFTER I labored for hours on end. So, if I can get through the pain of recovery from those, then the INSANITY workout has nothing on this Mommy!

Now, it’s also time to change my diet and make sure I get enough water and rest. See, I said that everything is connected. If we were talking about business, this would be considered getting mentally healthy, by reading, watching webinars, getting in on phone calls by industry leaders, etc. It’s all about choices that will move us in a positive – forward motion everyday.

Here’s where it’s been fun for me….my husband does this with me! We are partners. We hold each other accountable. We inspire each other to keep going, and do better. Buddies, or partners, can be good for these reasons. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend or work buddy. The important thing is to have one (or more). Tribes offer this kind of support as well.

I could go on forever about all the resources available, since there are so many industries that can be addressed. If you would like information in regards to your individual needs, please let me know, so I can send you the information.

I promise, there will be pics and video soon!

See You At The Top,

The Truth Behind Affirmations (and Why It’s More Than Just Wishful Thinking)

Affirmations – ACTION = Wishful Thinking.

When you write an affirmation, the intention behind it is to get an end result. We all know that to get from point A to point B, you must MOVE. That’s why ACTION is required in addition to writing and saying daily affirmations.

Affirmations serve as a roadmap, or mental GPS of where you want to be. You can plan it out all you want, but without action or motion of some sort, you will never get there. Think of taking business trips or vacations – they need to be planned out before you even get started.

Lets begin with your affirmations – just one for now. Make it a specific affirmation. Too many people write something like “I will be rich”. When you are as specific as possible, it’s easier to create an ACTION plan to get there! “Financial Freedom” can be expanded to include reasons why that is important. “I easily create the funds necessary to afford a fantastic vacation with my family”. From that point, think backwards, and start mapping how you arrived there! Where will you go? How much will it cost? Who do you know that can help you? What must you do to get the funds to go on vacation? Are there things you need to do (like save money, work overtime, call in a favor, or trade/barter with someone)? When you start with a plan in mind, moving forward is much easier, and actually sets in motion “miracles” from the Universe! Opportunities seem to “appear” out of nowhere!

Use photos, magazine clippings, or your computer, to create a dream board (sometimes referred to as a vision board) to keep these desires and affirmations fresh in your mind. Just make sure to do this when you are in a creating frame of mind, and not one of loss or want (*your energy gets infused into the pictures you cut out and words you are writing, and can undermine what you are trying to achieve!).

So, before you do anything else, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Clear your mind, and focus on the feeling you will have when you achieve your goals. Feel it, smell it, see it within your mind. If you have a mental picture of an entire scenario, pick one spot or time frame (like a mental snapshot), and focus ONLY on that. We are trying to get as detailed as possible, so we can start small with the affirmations, in order to draw a specific roadmap. This will help you to take ACTION in the right direction! Once you have done this a handful of times, you will be able to create larger goals with multiple details. What we’re trying to do here, is get laser focused, so we can achieve our dream goal in a shorter amount of time, then move on to the next piece of the puzzle.

That’s a good way to think of it too – like a big puzzle. We are just trying to accomplish putting one piece down at a time. But like I said before, once you have done this a few times, you will be able to put a bunch of pieces down at a time! One day very soon, my friends, you will BE the big picture you have dreamed about.

Let’s not waste our time just writing down Affirmations without Action. No more Wishful Thinking!

DREAM BIG!! Then take it one step at a time.

“It is not enough just to meditate and pray, which are always good things to do, but we also must take positive action in this world.” His Holiness the Dalai Lama
