We are in love with our roadblocks, even when we say we are not.
The truth about commitment:
We love to talk about how we want to lose weight. We love to talk about ‘someday’. “I would like to get around to it, but not right now” or “I’m really busy doing …..”
Finally, you may say, “That’s it. I’m going to do this thing. I really want my next one hundred days/the end of the year to look different. I really do. I cannot stand tolerating this negative cash flow. I cannot stand tolerating the organizational state of my office. I cannot stand tolerating negative people in my life that I just can’t seem to stop being with, and I can’t figure it out. I go into those negative spirals. Something must be done!”
If that’s you, you may be saying “Okay, I know Carol’s offering a program that can really whip me into shape. I know it’d be SO good for me. I’d get the result I say I want. I know it’s starting soon. I think I want to do it. Then you ask yourself, “WAIT, what happens if I say yes? Oh my gosh. Well, first of all, I’ll have to commit to it. Well, I can’t commit too much. What if something comes up? Then I’ll fail, like all those other times. I’m about an 8 out of 10, and that’s pretty committed. I don’t give 10’s. That’s safe.”
That’s where you’re wrong. Until you commit 100%, you are, my friend, doomed.
Here’s what happens:
- In that 8 out of 10 commitment – that -2 will not allow you to succeed.
- In a 9 out of 10 commitment, that -1 will not allow you to succeed.
- Even in a 9.5 out of 10 commitment, that 0.5 will go in sneakily and *pull you down in ways that you’re not even conscious of*!
We are RULED by our subconscious. Our subconscious wants to keep us SAFE and that means not Doing Something New. Even if it’s Proven.
So- to say ‘yes’ to something new, maybe that’s Discover Your Greatness, which starts Tuesday Sept 12th, you need to TRICK your subconscious while she is not looking. To do this,
- take a deep breath
- imagine yourself Dec 31 with a clean office and financial abundance
- imagine lots of good people around you; no more negative nellies. A fun atmosphere and getting things done effortlessly with loads of support.
Then, RUN.
You can join this cohort until midnight Eastern on Sunday (that’s assuming there are seats left!).
Anyway, let’s go into “Okay, that’s it. I’m going to do it. I’m going to plunk my money down and I’m going to say yes to ME!”.
Watch out for this pitfall: Don’t make the mistake of wanting something NEW- yet wanting NOTHING to change.
It’s kind of like when you go on a healthy eating plan and you think “Well, wait a minute, I get to just have my candy bars every day. Oh wait, I don’t get to have my candy bars every day. I don’t want that healthy eating plan. I just want to lose the weight”.
It’s the same thing with this opportunity. Yes, you’re going to have to do things differently, and I promise it will be fun and it works.
A sneak peek of what is in store for those lucky enough to get in on time:
One of the key tenets of Discover Your Greatness…..is the proprietary DESIRE TEMPLATE forms. – You set yourself up at the beginning of your workday for a Day of Success. You can also do it the night before. You can do it digitally, or print it.
The first question is: ‘What is your purpose?’ It’s really important to know what your purpose is because if you don’t know why you’re doing it, guess what y’all, you won’t do it. The procrastination starts before you even begin the list! So we eliminate that problem right away.
The next item on the template is … ‘One thing I must do today, no matter what’. Now -notice I didn’t say “What are the 25 things you want to do today?” You want to dial it down. Does this mean you won’t get any more than one thing done? No. You will get more than one thing done, I promise you.
However, you will get that one thing done plus a lot more -because this is what gets you started and keeps you focused, which are two of the biggest problems. Procrastination is one of the biggest issues. Then of course, I know you’re going to have a little carry over from yesterday as that’s usually how it goes.
The final questions on the template…
Identify your most important things: two of them.
We then ask: what might get in the way? Hint: get really specific.
Finally, what will you do to fireproof it? In other words, put measures in place to be sure you don’t fall short of your intention/plan.
Once you fill it out, you can print it, and save/send to me. I comment on this and watch your progress and help you along, both live and through my private client portal.
And that’s just the beginning. It’s just *one* of the game changing resources you will use in the group.
There’s also an end of day form,, which is also very important where we debrief what we went on. You learn TONS with this form.
Over time, by doing this, miracles happen – because the tiniest little change, little by little, bit by bit, piece by piece, layer by layer in the Productivity Success Cake, immense change happens.
In Discover Your Greatness, we’ve got 14 weeks together. The nice part about that is it’s not like six months, it’s not like 12 months. It’s not like $20,000, it’s like $2,000. It’s not that much money and what you can get in the end, it’s crazy-good.
Game changing goodness. For example,
people have:
- Double or tripled their income
- Finally started the business that they’ve been trying to start for 14 years
- One person had a backlog for a year of work, and finally they are not adding to the backlog anymore, and they are showing up differently with their team. This person is showing up as a bigger and better and more confident leader.
And that’s what happens. The confidence happens, and the hidden fears that hold us back melt away.
I’m so excited because I’ve got five people already registered and ready to go, and I’ve got three more openings at the time of writing this. On Tuesday September 12, we’re going to be getting started, and I can’t wait to see if you’re going to be one of those people to march forward together in unison toward Dec 31.
Oh, one more thing!
Did I tell you about the prizes? I also have prizes and giveaways because as we do this work together, we have fun. When you have fun, you get it done. Do you want to have some fun and get it done and finally do the darn thing that you said you were going to be doing for years that you just refuse to do? Well, don’t let this be the thing that scares you to death, so that you keep defining yourself as somebody who does it all themselves all the time. Because you know what? That doesn’t work. If it worked, you would’ve done it by now. You know that.I cannot wait to see who fills those final three seats and says yes to discovering their greatness.
