Do you have a big goal that you want to achieve in the coming year and are unsure of HOW to go about it? Maybe it’s so huge that you are quick to dismiss it because you can’t fathom that you could actually make it a reality.
MINDSET is everything when you want to achieve a massive goal. You got to do the inner work FIRST in order to get results on the outside. That means stepping fully into it and doing what it takes to get what you want even when it’s not easy.
Let me share my story with you in hopes it will inspire you. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions from women like you asking me how I did it.
How did I manage to pack up my life in Los Angeles into 2 suitcases and a carry-on and move to Mexico?
Let me start off by saying it was NOT EASY.
I started talking about this 3 years ago. In the beginning it was a faint desire, which I quickly brushed aside because I could not see HOW I’d ever be able to do it.
8 months later the little voice inside grew louder. I remember it so clearly. It was after yet another failed relationship.
I was sitting at breakfast with a girlfriend, tears streaming down my face as I was questioning my purpose in life. I was devastated, hurt and I also felt terribly unfulfilled in my professional life. I told her that I just wanted to run away and hide out from the world.
She said very matter of fact: “Don’t do that! Instead do something FOR you that gives you a sense of purpose.”
You always get what you need when you need it.
And this is exactly what I needed. I began a journey of personal development, initially just for me but what happened was that it led me to start my own business which in turn allowed me to realize my desire.
1. But before all of that I needed to HEAL ON THE INSIDE to be able to see the opportunities and what was possible for me. I had to change my mindset from that of a VICTIM to a participant, taking full responsibility for EVERYTHING that happens in my life, good and bad. Not easy, let me tell you.
2. I had to learn how to think according to TRUTH and not the way I was programmed for over 40 years. Again, not easy.
3. I had to acquire new skill sets that would enable me to do what I wanted to do. A steep learning curve, to say the least.
4.I had to spend MONEY, lots of it so I could hire high-level mentors who had a successful track record of having what I wanted to have. And that was extremely scary. All in I spent almost 3 times the down payment on a house and I continue to invest in myself at this level. Again, not easy.
5. I had to take consistent ACTION in the direction of my goal and yes sometimes I stopped because it got too difficult, I lost my mojo, I procrastinated, I made up excuses,…
6. And most importantly, I had to work on my FAITH muscle, trusting that if I jumped off the proverbial cliff the Universe would be there for me and support me. This was the hardest part to tell you the truth.
I really struggled with this one and this is where my mentor and his team helped me the most by encouraging me to just believe … and WHEN I finally did, low and behold the Universe was there for me.
It moved people, places and things my way so I could realize my desire.
This is my story and I’m sharing it with you in hopes it inspires you to go after your desires full force this coming year.
