Is it truth or tradition that you are allowing to determine the course of your life?

You have some strange ideas.

The unfortunate thing is that you do not see them as unusual because you think that everyone in your world thinks the same way. And yes, they do but does that make it right?

I don't think so.

You may have been brought up in a family where it was considered proud to tell people how good you are at what you do but is it really proud? Or is that just a tradition that you grew up into?

Is it truth or tradition?

You may have attended a church where it was looked down on to be wealthy and so you almost had to hide the fact that you are successful at what you do and you talk about giving back as though you have something to be ashamed of?

Is it truth or tradition?

Looking at it another way, you may be the one broke person in a religious institution where everyone talks about how blessed they are because they claim to be super-successful and so, of course, it must mean that God/The Universe is smiling at them and not at you. And so you start to feel there is something wrong with you!

Is it truth or tradition?

You may believe that there is not enough for everyone in the world so you think you have to hold yourself back from having material goods so that there is more to go around to those in need. Maybe, because you spent your whole childhood being told that the children in Somalia had no food and how dare you have the audacity to waste your food?

Is it truth or tradition?

And because you have these strange ideas in your head about what you are allowed or not allowed to do in order to be a 'good' person, you hold yourself back from making your business a success. Because deep inside, you think you should be happy with what you have ad stop trying to get more and more and more.

The problem, of course, is that you do not even realise that you are playing this out in your life because on the surface of it, yuo are happy enough, you are well fed enough, you have enough money coming in to just about get by so what more can you ask for?

You tell me...

Are you happy with it like that?

Or do you want more?

Because you always get the choice, you know.

You can choose to get a lot more deliberate about what you are believing.

You can choose to question everything you thought was true.

You can choose to acknowledge the fact that you are created to be, do and have more than just 'enough' and you can choose to create the life, the business you actually WANT, rather than one you just put up with.

Sometimes, it is just seeing that there is a problem with your thinking that starts the process of transformation.

Sometimes, the transformation happens in the moment you see that you have believed a tradition and it is hurting you.

So, friend, pay attention to what you are allowing to remain your truth. Is it a 'must' to get the life and the business you want?

You are no longer a child. It is time for you to wake up to the fact that you make your own rules. You do, in fact, rule YOUR world.

It is time to live life deliberately.

Are you ready?

Fight for, create the life, the business you want.

I’ll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through fear (I came out of the very toxic public school system). I knew I didn’t want that in my business.

Many of my clients share that one of their biggest marketing challenges is actually connecting with enough prospects. They are doing all of this great work in their businesses, but not very many people know about their work; or at least not enough for the flow of business to be moving smoothly and easily. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Sound familiar? There isn't one perfect way to consistently connect with prospects, but there are many ways that, when used collaboratively, will build you a nice stream of people who are interested in what you do.
