My 3-Day Workweek + 6-Figure Year Were Possible Because of THIS

I want to get real with you for a second. Reaching the milestones that I enjoyed this past year didn’t happen overnight.

I’ve been a serial entrepreneur for nearly a decade, and it took years of personal and professional development to attain my 6-figure year while working just 3 days a week. (So, if you’re not quite there yet, take a deep breath. This isn’t a sprint. You are moving in the right direction. I promise.)

That said, I wholeheartedly believe that creating success on your terms is possible not just for me, but for you too! And, the process can be drastically expedited if you’re willing to make just one small shift (more on that below).

I know that you, too, can picture your dream life and business -- you can feel it, taste it, smell it! -- but you’re just not sure how to make it all happen. 

Rest assured, if you can envision it, it is 100% possible for you. You are not given dreams, aspirations and hopes for no reason -- they are given to you because they are meant for you.

If you’re anything like me, someone telling you to trust and “slow down” isn’t always the advice you want to hear when you’re so hungry for success. So, I have another piece of advice for you that’ll help speed-up the process while affording you MORE ease and enjoyment along the way. 

The ONE and only shift that you need to make right now is...

Allow yourself to be supported.

For years I tried to do and figure out everything on my own. I was such a control freak that I didn’t even realize my stubbornness and type-A tendencies were majorly slowing me down and completely removing the possibility of flow in life and business.

I’ve come to realize that seeking support and learning from others isn’t a crutch, it’s a necessity for growth! 

When I look to other successful individuals that I greatly admire, they ALL allow themselves to be supported. They hire assistants and experts, work with mentors and coaches and are on a constant quest to improve themselves by aligning with and learning from others.

With that in mind, I have a very special invitation for you. 

One of my first business teachers, Marie Forleo, has put together a beautiful life + business changing FREE video training that I am honored to share with you. The first of the 3 videos is being released tomorrow, and honestly this free training offers more value than many paid trainings do. It’s really a must-watch. (Believe me, I’ve watched it several times already :-)

 
 

If you’re ready to accept the support that’ll take you to the next level (and beyond!) in your business I have 2 lovely gifts for you: Click HERE to register for Marie’s free training series. And, as a super special bonus, you’ll receive INSTANT ACCESS to my Sales Clarity Training so that you can master the art of feel-good sales conversations that convert perfect-for-you clients.

This Is What You’ve Been Waiting For…

I’ve come to realize something.

 
 

When it comes down to it, we’re all waiting for just ONE THING.

And, that ONE THING holds us back from so many things we want in life.

It keeps us from…

Starting the business
Quitting the job
Saying YES!
Saying No
Going after the dream guy or girl
Speaking our minds
Playing bigger
Slowing down
Calling it quits
Starting something new
Investing in ourselves and our businesses
Living our fullest, most joy-filled lives

We long for this ONE THING with our hearts and souls, because it’s the very thing that could change our lives forever, but it feels just out of reach.

So, by now you’re likely wondering, “Well, what the heck it is?” and “Is it stopping me, too?!”

Well, my friend, my guess is that if it isn’t stopping you now, it’s stopped you in the past and will likely stop you again in the future. Which is why it’s so important to bring awareness to it now, so we can recognize when we’re letting it derail our best intentions.

That ONE THING that we desperately long for and vitally need is permission.

Permission to start the business, quit the job, say YES! or say no, speak our minds...you get the idea, right? :-)

In all my years of entrepreneurship and coaching (9 if you’re counting), I’ve come to see this same pattern surface again and again: brilliant, talented women stopping themselves from evolving into their fullest selves because they are waiting for someone (or something) to tell them it’s ok. To give them permission to do/become/be what they’re feeling called toward.

We’re dying for someone or something external to say to us, “Go for it. You’ve got this. No need to worry. It’ll all be ok. You have permission to do/become/be this.”

So instead, we stay put. We keep on doing what we’re doing because, hey, at least it’s familiar. But all the while there’s a gnawing feeling inside of us, beckoning us to start the business, quit the job, pursue the opportunity, etc. etc. etc.

And, if we live like that (in stuck-mode), we’re not really living at all. We’re putting our lives on hold for “someday” when the timing is right, or the money is there, or the right person is in our lives. But the truth is, we are the creators of our lives. We make the right time, we find the money, and we attract the right person when we’re bold enough to give ourselves permission to do so.

Permission is not bestowed upon you from an outside source, it is granted from within. It happens in an instant when you heed your soul’s calling. When you stop stopping yourself and just got for it. You may not have all the answers, and it may not turn out exactly the way you’re expecting, but you’ll be better for having given yourself the permission to give it a go.

And, if you’re still craving a bit of outside validation for your journey, here goes:

You are talented. You are enough. You are worthy (you were born that way). You possess talents, knowledge and gifts that make you unique from every other individual on this planet. It’s your time. It’s your turn. And, it’s all there for you if you’re bold enough to claim it.

Permission granted.
