It’s a new day, a new week, a new month and a new quarter and I wanted to check in with you to see how things were going.
Most of us set goals or intentions or whatever you want to call it at the beginning of the year and then get surprised when we don’t actually hit our goals at the end of the year.
Do you feel like you are spinning your wheels? On an up and down roller coaster with your income, with your goals, with your biz, with your life?
Well, then keep reading because I have something for you that I know you are going to love but I regardless of whether you are spinning your wheels are not, I want to share something with you personally and I am not holding anything back.
I found over the years, one of the best ways to ensure you reach those goals is to actually review them regularly, in fact, I came up with an entire system how just how to do that (if you are interested, you can check it out here) but that’s just a side note, and not the point of this message today.
Today, I wanted to share something with you, and that is that as I am checking my numbers and checking in on my progress so far this year, I hate to admit this, but I think it’s important, is that I am not on track for what I said I wanted to create.
Now, I have a million excuses as to why not, and quite honestly none of them matter, the truth is, the real truth is, that I did not focus on those money and number goals, it was not my priority. You see, right at the end of last year, in fact, like a day or two before the New Year, as I was going over my numbers from last year, which I will share with you in a few so hang tight I made another decision and my priorities shifted and so did my focus.
I decided, well we decided together, but truth be told, I decided first and then John and I had the conversation, we decided to move back to NY. We moved to Dallas, TX 3 years ago taking a huge leap or faith into the unknown and really walking into trusting, letting go, shedding and coming back home to what matters most. And as I was reflecting on the year past in 2015, and then in the journey I made and my family made over the 3 years since we moved from NY to TX it was so eye opening to take it all in. I am grateful for all the experiences that lead me to TX, it was scary, and fun, and scary, yes, I said that twice because it was, we seriously stepped into faith and trust and rediscovering who we were, who I was, we were were as a family, why I was really here and what this was all about.
And after 3 years, that journey was complete, it was time to come back home, NY has always been home, and it always will be, and now that I had rediscovered this strength, learned to trust myself, and find out what I was made of and I got to do that with John too, it was time. Truth be told now that we are back home, I had no idea how much I missed it, but all of it was so necessary, and I wouldn’t change any of it.
I am here now, sitting my my office in NY, writing to you, and I feel alive, I feel a sense of freedom, a sense of knowing that no matter what, no matter what may come my way, I am strong enough, I am good enough, I am wise enough, I am enough and I can do it. My relationship with John and my two kids, Kyle and Summer have never been stronger, and have grown deeper and we have fallen even more in love with each other because I found myself, I didn’t even know I was lost (although, as I type this, I realize I did know, it was what I was searching for, I just didn’t realize it was inside of me all this time), go figure, right under my nose, it’s funny, I heard the saying a million times before, what you want is as close to you as your breathe, it’s just you cannot see it.
And now I know, and I know that I know, which is actually what matters, because you can know something and not know that you know and it makes no impact on you, it makes no difference. But when you know that you know, you become unstoppable. I finally know that I know, that I can have and be and do anything that my heart truly desires, and that I do matter, and that my message matters, and that it all for something, and it is worth it, to know yourself, to trust yourself, to do the scary things you don’t think you can do but somehow, you seem to pull through them, when you think you can’t take anymore and then you make it through to the other side. Yeah that. It’s all worth it. It’s real, well as real as it can get when you live in a world of illusion. lol
I realize it seems like I am getting off track, but I promise you I have a point 🙂 so back to looking at these numbers from the first quarter, I am reviewing these numbers and I am like okay yep, I get it, I am not where I want to be, I am here and I want to be there, I want to be at $600,000 by the end of the year and here I am, I want to help 2000+ people and here I am here, yikes. (this is the first time I am actually admitting publically what I want) I got this vision way back in September of 2015 but I had no idea how I was going to do it, and honestly it wasn’t even until recently, like the last two weeks that it all started to come together, and that is because that was not my focus. My focus was on getting myself and my family back to NY, which is where I wanted to be, which is no small feat from over 2000+ miles half way around the country.
When we decided a few days before New Year’s 2016 that it was time to go back to NY we did it. In a matter of a less than 6 weeks everything came together. It was magical and I allowed myself to get off track from focusing on my biz, because I had other priorities that shifted. I made the adjustments to my numbers for the first quarter (I knew that moving cross country would take me away from my biz) and now it’s time to get back on track so that I can reach my goals by the end of the year.
Okay, so back to this spinning of the wheels and the up and down roller coaster ride of income, this is what I want to help you with today and this is why I shared this brief story with you about moving to TX from NY and from NY back to TX (I promised you there was a point to all of this ;-))
So here it is, as I shared last week, you always get what you need when you need it, no matter what it is (if you missed that, you can read it here) but how you get there, that entirely depends on where your state of mind is. And you may always get what you need but not necessarily what you want, I want to show you how you can also get what you want, stick with me, I have a bit more to share before we get to that, if you want to skip ahead go here now!
Okay, so back to my numbers which lead to my talk about shifting my priorities (because that is what I consciously choose to do, not because I got derailed, there is a huge difference :-))
I was reviewing my numbers from 2015 and I was blown away. I shared this with a few people but really did not make a big deal out of it, really, I wasn’t ready to actually take this on, but now I am, and I feel like it’s my duty to do so.
I had this intuitive hit when I was reviewing these numbers and I knew that one day soon this would be a system that I could create that would help others to create a business and life on their own terms and really build that foundation that allows them to create what they want, not my copying what I am doing or acting like me or being like me, or anyone else for that matter (formula’s in the traditional sense suck the life out of you, well, at least they sucked the life out of me, I know because I followed them for years and years)
In 2015, I drastically cut down the # of hours I work in my biz, only work when the kiddos are in school from 7:50-2:50, (well that was when I was in TX, now I am working Monday/Wednesday/Friday most weeks 9-3) usually about 10 hours a week, sometimes 20 but that no more than that, and often times much less.
Last year was the first year that I truly did not take on a client or launched a program or did any work just for the money, I only worked with clients that I loved, that were fully aligned with me, that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could help(well, this has always been true, but not so much the next part), that I actually wanted to work with them.
This is the first time ever, and this is my 10th year in business (so this did not happen overnight by any means, but that does not mean that it can’t happen quicker, it happens much quicker for my clients, lol, because they get to learn from my mistakes). I am working like a quarter of the time I used to work, according to quickbooks I increased my biz income by 71.4{9426e48ae5c3b3ab02332dd167966d9e9ea7aa41d6d2b8540a0550b4f9308632} and profit by 86{9426e48ae5c3b3ab02332dd167966d9e9ea7aa41d6d2b8540a0550b4f9308632} from last year, like seriously, how cool is that?
I knew this was happening and that I was on to something last year, actually right around this time, in April, when it hit me, wow, I am not working my ass off for once, I have time to spend with my kids, my husband, I have time to myself during the day when the kiddos are in school, I started to volunteer and give back too. I kept doing what was working, kept my head down, and focused on what I wanted and how I wanted it to look when I got it and how I was going to get there (meaning, how much time I was going to work, when I was going to work, etc, I did not get caught up in the coursed how’s, no that is a total waste of time but I did define what I was willing to do and not willing to do to get there.
Come the end of the year, I was blown away at how easy it was, and fun it was, and how magically everything came together, and since that time I have been dissecting exactly what I did plus what worked and how I can turn this into a system. (I am really good at that, in fact, that’s what I did for many years pre-business, and then many years into my biz, helping high achieving entrepreneurs to create foundations in their biz that gave them freedom, in fact, I actually have a course on it. (And a special offer for you if you are interested in diving into creating your own biz systems that work for you, where you can save $300 off the regular price, it’s still got the old branding, but the content is gold!) but I’ll get to that in a minute first I want to briefly share what I did, and then I would love to invite you to join me for a brand spanking new program that I am putting together, for a seriously no brainer price, so that you can do the same.
Okay, so what did I do?
Simply put, I listened to myself, I trusted myself, I took action on the guidance I received, and I did not allow myself to stop just because it was scary or inconvenient, I did not give up my life, in fact, I enhanced my life and stepped into my power. I got super clear on my values, my vision, and my priorities and took action in alignment with what I said I wanted.
Was it scary, at times it sure was, but I put on my big girl panties and kept going even when the going got tough.
Believe in yourself, trust yourself, and mentor with people who you trust and will guide you to your success and you can do the same!
It’s kind of really that simple and that complex all at the same time, so there is the low down (above if you want to do this on your own, and you totally can btw 🙂 ) but if you’d like to join me and have some help along the way, and some guidance in the form of worksheets, support, training then I’d love to invite you to join me in the first iteration of Rock Your Limits™ Highway to Freedom.
Now, this program is still in the works, which is actually really cool because, it means you get to get in on a super no brainer investment point, and if you chose to you can also help to shape the program as well, this is something that for me, has been in the works for well, a really long time, and the biggest impact of this journey, well, at least the business part of this journey started 3+ years ago when I made the decision to leave NY and head to TX. (That’s part of why I shared that story with you, and there’s more to it as I am sure you can imagine, a books in the works at the moment :-)).
This is not something that I am throwing together, this has actually been something that I have been molding and shaping my entire life, and the last 3+ years over this journey has had the biggest impact on creating true freedom and knowing, and has taken me to this place where I can share this with you which is why I know you can do it too on your own, if you choose.
But, if you’d like my help and you’d like to shave some years off your learning curve, then I would sure love to help you do just that. And just so we are clear, I am by no means “already there”, my journey is still continuing and is unfolding, and there are still bumps along the way, that I know for sure, I mean, my desire now, that is deeply aligned is to help 2000+ plus people this year alone, which is why it’s time for me to get back to business. I am finally at the point after moving across country again, where I can say, I am settling in, and it’s time for me to do this, the time to do it is now.
Your time is now too, I know that because if you are still reading this, your time is now and I can help you.
This program is for you if you are a solo biz owner who is tired of the hamster wheel of up and down income, chasing, bright shiny objects, month in and month out and you are ready to finally create a sustainable foundation for your success so that you can have the freedom you went into business for in the first place. (Isn’t that one of the BIG reasons we all go into creating a biz in the first place?) Funny thing is, it seems like it’s one of the first things you need to give up, life’s funny like that, to teach you what freedom is, you kind of have to have the experience of not having freedom, I know because my freedom was taken away from me on so many levels, for a really long time.
In fact, this is something that we are going to cover in this course, the Rock Your Limits™ Highway to Freedom, we are going to dive into your past experience so that you can shift your perspective and start creating your reality from a place of ownership and responsibility and total empowerment.
You have been in business for at least 9 months to a year and has already made some money either through services, or selling products that you created, it really does not matter what you are selling so long as you have created cash in your business. We need to have something to work with 🙂
This program is real and raw, meaning, you are truly only going to get the result if you ready to actually step up to the plate and put in the work. I am going to take you through the system that I used over the last several years in my biz and my life to create what I now have. Working with me is kind of like a roller coaster ride, there are some ups and there are some downs, there are some twists and there are some turns, but at the end of the day, if you do the work you will succeed and you will have lasting results that are actually sustainable.
I am still in the process of creating this program, it’s been something that honestly, has been in the works for a really long time, I am dissecting what I have done over the past 10 years in business, and very specifically what I have done over the last 3+ years when I finally starting to actually some real bank in my biz, when I created my first 5 figure month and first 6+ figure year, to dismantling that version of my biz, to healing myself from my past traumas, insecurities, and going on a spiritual awakening journey into the depths of my subconscious, to manifesting moving back to NY and creating a biz where I actually get to work when I choose, and with who I choose and now on a mission to help 2000+ people this year to create a lie and biz they love, to know that you always have a choice and freedom is just one decision away.
I suspect the course will be a min of 4 training modules and up to 6 or 7 training modules, like I said, I am creating a system here that is replicable so that it can guide you to creating what you want, and not what I created, because chances are, you don’t want my life, lol. I am dissecting everything that has worked for me and my clients over the past years in my biz so that I can help guide you to create your own formula to freedom.
This is not a one size fits all formula but rather a process you can use to make you aware of works for you specifically, I’m just using my process to dissect that for you so that we can take all the guesswork out of it instead you trying to figure this out on your own.
This program will help you to create your own highway to freedom that allows you to easily create sustainable income and success on your own terms.
