It takes a certain kind of person to be an entrepreneur. Someone who has guts. Someone who has no fear. Someone who thrives on the go, go, go and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
I’ve noticed that the people who are most successful, at least online, where I’ve had the opportunity to somewhat see them from afar for a few years, they went through shit to get where they are.
They didn’t have it easy. Their success didn’t happen overnight.
They worked their ass off, they had some wins and even bigger losses, but the one thing that they refused to do –
The thing that most people DO actually end up doing –
Is quit.
No matter what life throws at them, they take it with a smile, and scream “is that all you’ve got?!!” And they KEEP. ON. GOING.
There is no stopping the relentless entrepreneur.
There is no stopping a woman on a mission.
There is no stopping someone who’s passion is bigger than her excuses.
Some people have legitimate excuses to quit.
Phillipa, when her precious son passed away, is a good example of this. She had a VALID excuse to walk away, but that bitch is strong.
And she knows what she was born to do. So even though the world handed her something horrendous, she go the fuck back up again and she KEPT. ON. GOING.
Those with a fire in their soul, who know that they were born for something bigger than themselves, who cannot and WILL NOT be stopped –
They are the ones you’ve gotta watch. Those are the people you want to be spending your time with. Learning from. Soaking up their energy.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned about being a successful entrepreneur, and moreso a successful PERSON, is that the quickest path to success is following the one that was paved before you.
Surrounding yourself with relentless, passionate people that are further along than you are, is a surefire way to align yourself with that kind of energy and then BECOME it.
The thing that really frustrates me with a lot of the coaches I see online, is that they are just teaching a shell of a process to manifestation. They’re teaching what to do instead of who to BE.
Yeah, you do need to know the THINGS that should be in place in order to receive, to make money, to achieve what you want to achieve.
And of course, you need to do the WORK. I’m not at all saying you can just sit around and act like a millionaire and then tomorrow you find a million dollars in your bank account.
But in order for that stuff to work in a way where you don’t feel like you can’t ever turn the phone off or walk away from the laptop, you must work on the art of BEING the person who already has what it is you want.
You’ve gotta BE her, now.
You’ve gotta act as her, now.
You’ve gotta think as her, now.
Don’t act like you’re surprised. You KNOW this is the only way to do it. The only way that will work for you. You’ve been hearing me say this for awhile now, and I’m not gonna be stopping any time soon because this is THE way to make your dreams come true.
You can follow all the steps.
You can tick all the boxes on a to-do list.
You can fill your day with busy work, with an attempt to feel like you’re making progress.
But if you don’t combine that stuff with the inner work - the REAL work, the most IMPORTANT work - it WILL NEVER WORK.
Okay that’s not true. It COULD work. But it won’t be long-lasting.
Back in 2015, when I started my coaching business, I worked 12+ hours every day. I rarely slept. Never really saw my friends or family.
And I was terrified to turn my phone off for even an hour in case I missed something seemingly important (which in reality was totally insignificant).
And I made a—fucking-lot of money. $250,000 in CASH. But it wasn’t worth it. Because I was EXHAUSTED.
There were many days when I would wake up and just cry because I knew I had to be on the phone for 6+ hours, had a million messages and emails to respond to, and everything in between.
I resented my success.
The next year I made $500,000, and although I was still working long hours, I was at least spending my time (mostly) doing things I enjoyed.
Last year I made around $480,000, and I was working just a few hours per day and ONLY doing what I love. And I haven’t stopped doing this that way.
I choose to make money from flow. I choose for it to be easy. I choose for it to come from sources that feel good and exciting to me.
I no longer do anything I don’t love to do.
All because I decided to be the woman who already is living the life I want to live. She wouldn’t be doing sales calls - so I don’t do sales calls. She wouldn’t be on the phone all day long - so I’m rarely on the phone.
Who do you need to be BEING?
From that place, what would you be thinking and doing?
The future you is already where you want to be. In order for YOU to be there, all you need to do, is be her now.
Imagine you were already there.
How would you be feeling? What would you spend TODAY doing?
Got that image in your head? Ok cool. Now, go and do those things. Go and feel those feelings.
And then repeat every day until the next thing you know, those feelings are your normal state, and those daily activities are what you’re always filling your days with.
Be her now so you can be her always (until you’re ready to go to the next level, that is!).
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Say YES to you and take action now!
