IT’S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL
I was recently thinking about a conversation I had over a year ago with a coach who told me that my “energy” was messing with my success. My “energy” was preventing me from getting bigger results, faster.
I also remember thinking this woman was a nutjob.
“Energy is everything“, she said. And I rolled my eyes and then completely tuned her out for the rest of the conversation. I couldn’t listen to this weird ass hippie shit for another second longer.
But what she said about my “energy” never left my mind. I could not get that damn phrase out of my head. So I decided to give an hour of my life to read about it. And when I did that, I realized quickly that she was right. I WAS messing with my success.
And the whole “energy” thing wasn’t as strange as I thought - it was just SCIENCE. And it was fucking RIGHT, more importantly!
The more I read about it, the more things I saw in my life that were all kinds of wrong. The way I acted, the way I thought, the way I spoke.. was OFF. Without realizing it, I was putting up a wall that kept the HUGE success I wanted, out of my life (not to be confused with the wall Trump wants to put up to keep Mexicans out).
I was scared of failure, and showing it
I was lacking confidence
I was charging less than what I wanted
I was being too nice
I was was lying about who I am as a person
I was pretending to be interested in things I wasn’t interested in
I was trying to impress people I actually couldn’t stend
I was telling myself I couldn’t afford things I wanted
I was “manifesting” the money
I was acting as though I didn’t need help, even though I did - badly
Since making this realization and doing work on myself, my ENERGY, I have a business that isn’t actually a business at all, but a LIFESTYLE. One that I LOVE, one where I get to work with incredible people daily, one where I can charge whatever I want and always get YES’s from the RIGHT people, and most importantly –
I am able to make an impact in the world by sharing my talents, sharing my experiences, and sharing MYSELF.
I’m able to make money being ME.
And that’s what it’s all about.
I’m sick of hearing so many people bitching about how they don’t want to trade dollars for hours and they don’t want to work so much and THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM. This whole concept of WORK.
Is it really “work” if you’re just speaking and writing about whatever you want?
Is it really “work” if you don’t have to lie about who you are and can just be yourself?
Is it really “work” if you’re getting paid to show up and say whatever is on your mind?
What’s “work” is the sales funnels, the FB ad creation, the customer service… the things that can be OUTSOURCED and all YOU need to do is show up and be YOU.
When you stop treating your business as a business and start treating it as a LIFESTYLE, that’s when everything you do becomes FUN and doesn’t ever feel like work.
It really is all about how you FEEL.
If things feel scary, or hard, or impossible, even –
Then you will not succeed.
On the other hand, if you’re of the mindset that things are exciting, easy and a DONE DEAL –
Then you will not only succeed, but you will succeed QUICKLY and it will be fun at the same time.
Your energy really is everything. What you put into it matters. So don’t show up and be half-assed. Go ALL THE WAY IN or don’t go in at all. Because that negative energy is infectious and you will poison everything you touch, including yourself.
Focus on your feelings and make sure you are in the HAPPY ZONE. The zone of feeling inspired, encouraged, excited, worthy, and most importantly - like YOU’VE GOT THIS. Because you do.
Don’t forget –
Kick ass, take names, repeat - all day, and every day.
