What is BLOCKING YOU?

TAKE ACTION..NOW

Are you STUCK.?

Most entrepreneurs get stuck on STEPPING out and actually doing—doing whatever it takes to create momentum and supercharge their business.

The reason they are reluctant to take the action steps that will help them grow and prosper is FEAR.

They are afraid of failing; they are afraid of succeeding.

What if it works? What if it doesn’t?

And often they just stay STUCK…  sometimes just sitting in STUCK for a while until something changes.

The fact is that those entrepreneurs who face fear square in the face and OVERCOME this fear are the ones who find success and even more than success they learn how to face fear in all aspects of their lives which is HUGE.

Those who remain paralyzed by this fear leave their success to chance—and chance has never been a great leveraging tool and as you and I know, the big FEAR emotion will be coming back over and over again.

Are you frustrated because your business is stagnant and not growing? Are you afraid to take a risk for fear that you’re making a mistake?

Using FEAR as a fuel rather than something that continually stops you in your tracks is what an entrepreneur wants to achieve.

FOCUSING on the rewards and gains are worth the risk. Use FEAR to change directions and course correct.

It’s natural to want to avoid failure—that’s our subconscious protecting us from pain.

But did you know that most successful ventures only came to be after multiple failures?

In fact, some would claim that failure is a required component for success!

After all, it took Dyson 5,126 attempts to create a bagless vacuum cleaner.

After missing more than 9,000 shots in his career and losing 300 games, Michael Jordan said, “I have failed over and over again, and that is why I succeed.”

Thomas Edison agreed when he stated that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times when inventing the light bulb: “I’ve gotten results! I now know several thousand things that won’t work!”

Jack Canfield said, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

That’s a fantastic mindset—imagine that fear is the door you must walk through in order to be successful. If you knew that, would you still be scared to open the door?

If you’re frustrated with the results you’re getting, try thinking of failure differently.

Rather than accepting it as the death of a dream, view failure as a temporary setback—a detour that is actually redirecting you toward the path to success.

Without failure, you might have steered yourself in the wrong direction for too long. With it, you’ve been given the opportunity to make changes and forge ahead, knowing this time, you won’t repeat the same mistake again.

The KEY is just do it. Try it. Keep moving forward toward what it is that is driving you in the first place. Stay with what it is you are wanting a RESULT.

When you learn from your mistakes, you’re one step closer to accomplishing your goals—and that’s SUCCESS, not failure.

It’s also proof that your mindset will determine whether you throw your hands up in the air and quit, or use your newfound and priceless knowledge to make another attempt to step toward your dream. My Dad had two “sayings” that I continue to remember and appreciate “When You Get To The End of Your Rope Tie A Knot, and Hold On”  and “Keep On Keeping On”. I have tied that knot many times and I bet you have too!

Take the plunge and get started for success.

 

What is a Kick-Ass Lifestyle and How to Get Started!

 Kick-Ass Lifestyle

What’s a Kick-Ass lifestyle?

It is simple….it is getting things done and making things happen. It’s about progress, results, and steamrolling past obstacles and challenges. It’s true that most people want a kick-ass lifestyle; however, it remains just beyond their reach, largely because they don’t know how to kick it in gear and make it happen.

The good news is there are ways to manifest such a lifestyle if you follow these tips!

1. Quick Decisions

You simply cannot kick ass when you’re dragging your feet.  Hesitation delays rewards.

The most successful people make decisions quickly.  It’s True!  Don’t wait until tomorrow, next month, or next year—make a decision so you can get moving toward what you want today. Everything in your life begins with a decision. As Tony Robbins says, “I believe that it’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

 

2. Let Go of   Controlling (Which isn’t Happening, Anyway!)

Let Go. We all have a natural tendency to TRY to control what’s happening to us and around us, but the more we attempt to exert control, the less control we actually have. It’s true.  Sometimes it is best to be OPEN to everything.  Let go of resistance and see what happens.

 

3. Tame the “FEAR FACTOR”

Fear of failure is one of the main reasons we don’t pursue goals or follow our dreams. The Fear factor is a huge impediment to a kick-ass lifestyle … and one that’s got to go quickly if you want to have the life you dream about, be what and who you want to be, and do the things that make you feel good.  Here is the thing about Fear..the biggest thing you should Fear is being STOPPED by it and not living the life you were meant to live.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Kick Ass means stopping yourself in your tracks when FEAR raises its ugly head. I

 

4.  Spend  Your Time with  POSITIVE People

We are the people we hang around with most. If you hang around with negative, unhappy people, you’ll become negative and miserable. Spend time with fun, happy and POSITIVE people—you’ll become optimistic, carefree, and get more enjoyment in your life as it unfolds before you. Remember .. Choose wisely. If your friends are not positive most of the time, find new friends.

 

5.  Take  “Timeout”

A creative mind comes with space and clarity. A year or so ago, I was in a Mastermind with Jeff Walker (my hero) and Jeff talked about taking one day off a week with NO distractions. This advice really resonated with most of the entrepreneurs that were there. What did he mean about no distractions? That means NONE. No phone. No e-mails. NADA. Find the time to just do something you enjoy and check-out for the day.

What happens? You’ll come back with all kinds of new energy and insights that come out of that “nothingness” space—the place where creation is born.

 

You might want to take some time today or this week to see where you are and what you might want to incorporate into your life to KICK-ASS your lifestyle.  Give yourself permission to really get honest about what IS holding you back and what it is you really want to BECOME and how to get on the path to creating whatever lifestyle resonates with you.

GO FOR IT…(After all it  is your one and only precious life!)
