First you start with having a passion…
A longing for more…
A deep desire to express yourself fully…
To remove all limits on what you are allowed to earn…
To allow yourself to make a difference to as many people as you want…
This has to be something you want more than you want comfort…
And safety…
And security…
Passion can be painful…
Though it sounds romantic…
And then you get practical…
Who is it you want to serve?
Why should they care?
Why should they buy from you, specifically?
You get as clear as you can on this stuff though to start with, you will not be…
And at the same time, you begin showing up in the marketplace…
You start speaking to your people…
Who may not even be listening to you…yet…
But you know you have to start immediately to GROW AN AUDIENCE…
And the only way to do that is to start communicating to anyone that will listen…
While actively seeking out more people to speak with…
You know you cannot be passive about this…
You have to get freaking deliberate…
You use all the tools you can for free – Livestreams, write blogs and post everywhere, find people who are likely to be interested in what you have to offer and follow them in the hopes that they will follow you back, offer yourself up for speaking engagements online, offline, EVERYWHERE…
And you use the paid tools as well – Advertising… Though it scares you, you do it and you watch it like a hawk…
You start building a mailing list by giving something away for free that would attract the people you want in your world…
The people most likely to be interested in what you have on offer…
And you are not sure, to start with, who your people are…
Though you do your best to get clear…
And do the research…
But you know that you cannot wait for perfect clarity…
You have wasted enough time already…
Waiting for permission…
Waiting to feel confident…
Waiting to be sure!
And you are done with that…
You finally see that your vision is your permission…
And that you will never feel completely clear while sitting on the fence waiting for clarity and confidence!
And then you start to make offers to those who responded to your free giveaway and joined your mailing list…
And you also mention your offers on social media…
You are relentless in making offers to everyone…
Why?
Because you know that you can help…
And you have spent way too long playing small and pretending that you have nothing to offer the world…
You have spent too long being told what you are worth instead of believing in the power of the vision within you…
You are done with waiting for perfection…
You are finally so driven by your mission to live out the calling on your life and to serve the people you feel called to, that you refuse to back down any more!
It is tough…
At times, you want to lie down and die…
At times, you wonder if you are deluded…
And at times, you wonder if you have been deserted by the universe/higher power/source…
But you are committed…
This will work or you will die trying…
You see the vision of what could be and YOU WANT IT ALL!
No one understands you…
No one gets why you are so driven…
Some people humour you…
Others are inspired by you…
Others simply let you down…
But you do not let any of it faze you…
You have a vision…
And you are finally committed.
You communicate…
You capture…
You close…
And you keep moving forward…
Your sales increase…
Everything seems to be working…
And then it all dips and dives and you wonder what is going on…
You keep pushing though many would have quit…
And the ups, the downs keep happening…
And you learn…
And you get better…
And you get to break-even point…
And there is a certainty building within you that you can do this…
And then it all falls away again…
And you wonder if you have what it takes…
But deep within, there is an assured feeling, this strength that is being built through fire…
So you keep moving forward…
With your eyes on the prize…
Learning the lessons…
Becoming more resilient…
Building the mindset of a champion…
And you start to realise that the prize was more about realising who you are…
It was never just the money…
It was not even how much of a difference you can make in the world…
It was always about you.
And who you could be, if you took the limits off…
And yes, you get the prize of money, sometimes fame… (It seems to come from nowhere, all of a sudden you realise – ‘OH, I am not struggling anymore’)
And yes, you get to see the difference you have made on the planet to the people you are called to…
But most of all, you see you…
As you were created to be…
POWERFUL
STRONG
RELENTLESS
TENACIOUS
BRILLIANT
DIVINE
YOU!
And yes, you have built a business – WOOHOO!
But mostly, you have built you…
You have escaped the sad story of your past…
And you have seen that NOTHING can stop you when you set your mind like flint!
Wahey!
Fight for, deliberately design the life you are born to live
Because you want to.
