I know it is not what you want to hear.
You want to hear that it is hunky dory, it is bliss at all times, you want to hear me tell you that you are not at times going to feel like you are being wrung like clothes in a tumble dryer – squeezed, squashed, spun around, torn apart and put back together.
You will be, honey – This is why many do not succeed at living life on their terms.
This is why many stay at work in a job that dissatisfies them…
This is why many settle for a life that is far less than what they are capable of…
And I know you do not really want to hear this.
Even as you read this from me, you are telling yourself that this is not you. You will glide easily to success and wealth and everything you want.
It is like the first time mother who, though she understands mentally what it is like to give birth to a child…
Inside of her, she thinks that she will handle it with grace and ease and it will be nowhere as difficult as all those other weaklings describe…
She puts together her birthplan and demands that there be no pain killers in sight.
She will be all-natural – Oh yes, she will!
And then labour begins…
She is sure that the baby must be coming through RIGHT NOW but then the midwives say, the real thing has not even begun yet and suddenly, she goes from a ‘drug-free’ ideal birth to a ‘GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU”VE GOT NOW!!!!!’ birth!
Because she knew…
But she did not KNOW!
It is one thing to sit on the sidelines looking in and thinking you know exactly what it will take from you to give birth to a child, to have a successful business.
It is a completely different thing to get in the fray and make it happen.
And the great thing about having a baby is that there is almost absolute certainty that the baby will live and be born after a certain amount of pain (not always the case, of course)…
But with a business, there is just too much time for being emotional…
Too much time to procrastinate…
Too much time to over think…
Too much time to doubt yourself…
Too much time to think you don’t have what it takes…
Too much time to think that everyone has something against you…
Too much time to listen to their opinions and act on them, even though they have no clue!
Too much time to wonder why on earth you are putting yourself through this…
Too much debt to pay off…
So many variables, or so you think, when you are in the throes of the building of a business…
And then, for most people, they quit.
They are unable to hack it. Will you stay in the fray? Is your big picture vision big and attractive enough to keep you on track?
The truth is, Business is straightforward – you get enough people to look at what you have on offer, you will get sales. The problem is that you get distracted with this shiny way of doing things, with that other fancier way that is absolutely definitely going to be a sure-fire winner.
And life is happening to you all at the same time – the kids need to be looked after, the house needs to be looked after, you may still have to go to work or a busines that you no longer want, your partner wants your attention, the boss is demanding more and more from you and your debts are increasing and you get scared.
And it all seems hard and you ARE JUST PLAIN SCARED and you want the seeming peace of your old, dissatisfying life back and you wish you could be normal etc etc etc.
And then, if you stick with the program…
If you do the work consistently, day in, day out…
If you keep at the top of your mind why on earth you are doing this anyway…
If you choose to be the successful person you are…
If you choose to put a support system in place so that on the bad days, you have someone or some people to reach out to…
If you keep your eyes focused and refuse to get distracted with all manner of other magic bullet solutions…
Then and only then, will you get the prize.
You will wake up and realise that life is pretty darned awesome…
And you will be proud of the person you have become…
You may even get a little snobby as you consider all the others that could not hack it…
Because you will know that you looked in the eye of the beast and you stayed standing, in fact, you did not just stay standing, you kept pushing forward and pushing forward, and pushing forward – You saw many at the start line but there seems to be just you and a handful at the finish line.
You will know that you are a champion and that you are truly a member of the Wealthy Set because you just kept going.
And honey, I salute you because you are one of us.
Let’s go!
It is time to fight for, to create the life, the business you want.
Starting in 2 weeks, I am leading the Wealthy Set – a small 5 person intensive, intimate mastermind group. This is for those who want to make money in abundance and are willing to do what it takes and as I have already said, it takes a lot!
This is for those who want to travel the world in style, this is for those who want to impact people and support them in changing their lives…
This is for those who want it all and are willing to do what it takes to get it all, on your own terms. If this sounds like you and the above post has not put you off then pop on over to RosemaryNonnyKnight.com/wealthyset – read the page and let’s have a conversation.
