6 Things I Had To Realize In Order To Break Through To The Top 10% In The World

November 21, 2021

1. I KNEW… if one person could do it… I COULD DO IT. I truly knew that if anyone could SO COULD I… I just had to have the stamina and heart to stay in it until I figured it out.

There have been about 20 times in the last 3 years that I truly wanted to quit… wanted to give in, ease up, back off… and came really close… but I always knew… if they did it… I AM ABLE… it is in me because we are all the same.

2. I had to have the courage to INVEST in myself and back myself well before I was ready. I had to DECIDE that it was going to work BEFORE I had any proof that it would work. It was the act of deciding and BACKING MYSELF that actually brought success and freedom.

My first investment was $25k… $2k a month… and I decide that WAY before I ever made $2k a month. I had NO CLUE how I was going to make that work. NO CLUE. I sat on the kitchen floor crying and worked really hard to try to make the pressure someone else’s problem. TO NO AVAIL. lol … I had no choice but to learn to adjust my nervous system and behavior to make it work.

My next investment was $3k a month AFTER being hurt really bad by my first mentor… and being terrified to be manipulated and treated poorly again… AND now scaling the investment which was now on top of having a full-time assistant. I CRIED my way through again… more like temper tantrums and fits this time…

Next was a $6k a month investment plus the cost of travel… and I remember clearly feeling like I was going to throw up on this one. I couldn’t believe I was spending $6k on ONE mentor!! Then… after only 6 months I hired a second mentor for another $3800 a month.

I NEVER ONCE felt ready… I just felt determined… and I had learned to trust myself to always make it work. To always BECOME who I needed to become in order to make it happen. TO SCALE.

3. I had to believe it was ok for me to THRIVE, and I had to learn boundaries. I had to learn to say NO… to treat my business like it was already a $20k/ month business well before it was.

People didn’t like this… a lot like a kid hearing NO for the first time… but I KNEW I WAS CALLED TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF THRIVING… and that requires others to acclimate to my new way of being. (And they did… and those who didn’t were free not to, I just adjusted myself accordingly.)

4. I had to MASTER the skills required to serve my people well and hold a powerful container for them. I had to learn the SKILLS. It sucked learning at first. Tech, platforms, sales, Coaching, Copy, Graphics, payment systems, membership areas… how to hire, how to manage a team, SOP’s, ONNN AND ONNNN.

I simply decided if that’s what it took to create stability, wealth, and freedom… and serve the people I was here to serve… I’D BE THE BEST DAMN COPYWRITER (and other things) on the planet.

5. I knew and understood this was about BEING happy… and in the JOY I felt from having shown up fully to back my dreams… others would be DRAWN to the joy. It wasn’t ME they were drawn to… it was the LIEF they knew was available for them being reflected back to them they were drawn to… and the closer they got to me the more they calibrated to the success and freedom I had.

100% of this was always about BACKING MYSELF… way before I felt ready, accepting the skills required, and giving myself what I needed to show up and crush the day.

This isn’t complex… it’s just unusual.
80% of this was simply one moment after another of being brave and backing my dreams, and not letting the gripping fear win.

You are going to feel fear… that is your compass showing you where to GO… not where to ease back.

YOU CANNOT GROW without being under pressure… the goal was never to be under pressure… the goal was learning for pressure to FEEL GOOD… because you know THAT’S WHAT GROWING FEELS LIKE.

AND THE GOAL IS GROWING!!!!
BECOMING!!!!

6. DO IT UNTIL.
The end.
I love you

My Conversation with Thich Nhat Hanh

What?! You mean… compassion for others includes the woman lying and hurting the man I love? It includes compassion for her?
That’s easy for you to say.
You don’t have a wife or kids that you love like I love them.
What’s that you say?
That’s how you love EVERYTHING? All humans? All animals and sentient beings?

Not My Place To Get Someone To See the “Truth”…

For as long as I can remember I have always felt responsible for helping others see the things that they cannot see… the boyfriend on drugs, the way they are being taken advantage of, the abuse happening…
I have always suffered deeply to see anyone else suffering ESPECIALLY when I can see a way for their suffering to end!
This is what drove me so hard to break out of all of the abuse I was experiencing, go to school for 10 years while working and being a single mother with almost zero child support, start my business and make my first Mill in 2 years… THAT is a lot of drive, and it ALL came from MY WANTING TO END OTHERS SUFFERING.

What I Resist, I Empower

I see this belief lately that “standing for a world where race & religion do not matter is naive.”
(And abusive)
It’s popped up a number of times in my feed and then once now in my own life.
”It’s exclusive and doesn’t account for all the biases happening today. Anyone who believes this only believes it because they don’t get it. They aren’t the ones experiencing the racism, sexism or etc.”
I understand the basis of this.

Someone Told Me “You are not as enlightened as you think you are.”

And I wondered what that meant? What an unusual statement?
I realized that there’s a whole entire culture referred to as “woke” which couldn’t possibly believe more differently than my mentors who are considered “enlightened”. Which was she referring to?
And I chuckled.
I’m definitely not either…
Talk about a wild time to exist looking to find your way to a life full of joy and peace!

Meditation Breakthrough

New one hour meditations….
I’m beginning to see what’s underneath all the crap….
I’m wildly resisting the reality of what’s happening to people and animals in the world… It feels like it cracks my brain and will burry me to accept it.

I Was Being A Hypocrite

Sometimes we expect people to handle things even better than we are capable of handling them simply because society would agree that’s how it should be handled.
But that’s still hypocrisy…
Just because we can make the best argument for that being how it should have been handled… (womennnnnn lol)
