You spent all your life at a job where someone told you where to be from 9am (maybe 8 or even 7am) until about 5/6/7pm…
And in each day, you racked up about 8 hours or more at work…
In theory, you worked for that period of time with a break or two for meals and a snack and well… a break…
And you accepted that that was just the way it was…
It was what you had to do in order to get paid…
Can I ask you a question, though?
Now, in your business, are you giving it that much time?
Are you clocking in about 8 hours every day?
And no, of course you don’t have to do that…
But then, are you moaning that you are not a millionaire yet?
Do you have these unrealistic expectations that you are going to be able to produce about 1 hour’s work each day and then hit your first 6 figure year in 2 weeks?
And then you get all annoyed with your coach or someone that you are not yet winning in the way you imagined you would!
CRAZY!
Yes, leader, it is crazy!
You know what?!
When I started my property business, it was all I ate, slept and breathed for about 18 months, with the occasional blips when I felt as though I was not getting anywhere, even though I was working my butt off!
And then I would cry my eyes out while coming up with the energy to just keep moving forward!
I literally lost 2 stone without thinking about it (28 pounds)…
And in addition to that, I was home educating my princesses as well as carting them around with me…
Working as a pharmacist at the weekends…
Paying out tens of thousands (that I did not have) to my coaches and mentors…
Handling crazy tenants and all the drama that came with that!
Being a wife to my hubby…
And finally 18 months later, I hit financial freedom…
It was hard-won…
HARD WON!
I literally worked my butt off…
I definitely did my 8 hours and then some!
And so I got the result I wanted - Financial freedom…
And so, honey, I watch you…
Putting in your 1 hour of work (If you are having a good day)…
Stretching it out to make it last all day with all the overthinking, self-doubting and craziness…
And then I see you getting more and more disheartened by your results…
And I see you trying to figure it all out alone…
Because you are too scared to pay someone to help you…
Or worse, you pay someone to help you but then you retreat back into your crazy world of fear and despair, instead of asking for help!
And I am simply incredulous!
that you think that you are somehow entitled to financial freedom because you just hung up your shingle and pretended to be an entrepreneur!
CRAZY!!!
You would not act like this if someone else was paying you…
They would just FIRE YOUR ASS!!!
So why then do you think you can get away with it in your business?
Well, you can get away with it but your bank balance will give you a true picture of what your non-efforts result in…
YOU DO NOT GET TO WIN when you act this way!
Leader, getting a business off the ground is serious does…
It takes HARD work and at least, as much time as you would spend on your job…
So, for goodness sake, set your expectations…
Your success is inevitable, literally inevitable but maybe not in your desired timescale because you are choosing to work as though you are a snail…
And you are deceiving yourself into thinking that this is all you can do!
YOU POWERFUL CREATURE YOU! Really, one hour of work is all you can do!!!!
PLEASE!
WHAT CRAZY NONSENSE!
Take a brutal look at what you are producing on a daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis…
Is it enough?
Really?
Your results do not lie!
You are winning slowly or winning fast?
Which one is it?
Are you just drawing out the pain or are you playing full-out, zooming through the pain of making mistakes quickly so you can get to the zone of winning NOW, not later?
Get the hell off your butt!
Stop wimping out!
And start doing the work in enough quantity that no one can ignore you!
You tell me you want to impact lots of people and you think you are going to do it, this way?!
You tell me you want to change the financial fortune of your family and you think you are going to do it this way?
You tell me all kinds of lovely sounding things but unless you get past the nonsense and you start doing the fucking work, you are having a laugh and you will die and still be waiting to win…
And if by some mysterious chance you have a child to carry on your work, they might just win from it but you will not…
Because you will have died full of regret…
Because you never pulled your finger out and did the work in all the fullness of a powerful person like you!
YOU JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP PLAYING AT THIS!
Jump in the fray and play FULL OUT!
Give it your all!
Dont be scared of yourself and what you can do!
JUST GET IN THERE AND WIN!
Will ya?
You are not a norm…
You are a warrior, deep inside you are a warrior!
Now you need to pull that out to the surface and you need to get on and WIN!
NOW, not later!
Stop with the thinking, over thinking, over analysis and nonsense…
Stop looking to anything except you for the win…
Stop thinking! Literally STOP THINKING and just get to winning!
Leader, fight for, deliberately design the life you are born to live
Because you Want to!
PS - Are you serious about ramping things up massively? Are you actually serious about impacting the world and changing things? Are you done with listening to the crazy voices in your head telling you an old story about what you are allowed to do and when?
Are you ready to win at the game of business?
Then join me on Tuesday night for an online workshop where I will reveal to you a surefire plan for more and more impact…
For more clients and people who want to work with you so that you can get on and do the work you are born to do…
It is time to take the limits off and it is time to win…
