Everyone deserves your Authentic-Self! A day a few years ago became a day that I will never forget because it was the day I realized that I didn't need permission to become the person I was. Until that point I hid a big part of who I was for fear of judgement - I just wanted to "fit in".
For years, I thought I should be a certain way, that I needed permission, that I was best to stay "under the radar" and not be noticed. I am someone who never wanted the spotlight and as an only child I was often quite alright to be alone and was also very quiet in most situations. But as I tried to really find out who I truly was, I met a man who is now one of my amazing mentors, PK Kevin Smith. One of the first times I met him I shared a room with about 60 people at Base Borden, he said something that was so significant. "Stop looking for permission to be a leader - you already are and people deserve your leadership." He went on to explain that the leadership he speaks of is not what we typically see leadership to be. Traditional leadership is when a person is given a leadership title based on qualifications or degrees and in fact that type of leader may not have a lot of respect from the people they are trying to lead. The leadership that PK speaks of is the leader without a title (Robin Sharma) The leader willing to help others see their gifts, the leader that believes in people, the leader that shows up and leads by example. The leader that is congruent and in integrity with what they say and what they do. Playing small doesn't help anyone; you see. And I was playing far too small because I feared what others thought of me. Leaders at times do have the hard decisions to make and in the past I would avoid those tough decisions...now I know when a tough decision comes along, I deserve to make a decision because my actions or lack of action not only affects me, it affects hundreds of others and I care about each person that my actions affect. A question I have for you is - when are you going to be willing to let go of the idea that you need to have permission from others before you become the authentic self that you are? Very few will step into their potential because of that same fear that I had; that we often all experience...we don't want to be judged or we are afraid to be different. I am here to say, listening to my inner voice was the best gift I have given myself and the best gift I have given to others. We shine our own light and this allows for others to begin stepping into their untapped potential too! This weekend was a turning point for me and I feel a new side is being awakened for me. I look forward to seeing other dimensions of myself transform and I know that will awaken new dimensions for others I know and care about too! How exciting!

Whatever is happening for you right now, I just want to remind you what Eric Worre told us in San Diego at the Leadership event. When you MAKE A DECISION to GO ALL IN and you TAKE ACTION on this 90 DAY GAME PLAN, the Universe will throw many obstacles, challenges and detours in your way to TEST YOU and to see HOW BAD YOU WANT THIS! So like I've said before, KNOWLEDGE is POWER! I know that you can do this...the question is, will you keep moving forward even if the challenges are slowing you down? Another thing that I'd like to share is a webinar that I created last night. It can be used as a tool for you to become unmotivated, or it can be a great prospecting tool. Fast-forward to 2.11 minutes in the presentation to start at the beginning. (first 2 minutes is silence) Here is a summary of what you will experience: 57% growth over last year, projected to have our first $1 Billion year in 2015. Why you may want to take a closer look about why our company is attracting the BEST and most professional of individuals while also knowing how to have fun! And yet 83% of people join us for the products only and NOT the business...AND there are less than 400,000 members actively buying our products in the world! This is not a video to CONVINCE anyone, this is about FACTS and why we are experiencing EXPLOSIVE GROWTH right now! Why is our company GROWING so fast and what does this mean for you?
These tools will help you to continue building your "mindset" muscle. Work on yourself more than you work on anything else and remain consistent...don't blame anyone for where you are or where you are not!

How is your 2nd week of this 90 day launch starting out for you? Are you all in or has something set you off course? OR maybe you are just getting started this week. Whatever is happening for you right now, I just want to remind you what Eric Worre told us in San Diego at the Leadership event. When you MAKE A DECISION to GO ALL IN and you TAKE ACTION on this 90 DAY GAME PLAN, the Universe will throw many obstacles, challenges and detours in your way to TEST YOU and to see HOW BAD YOU WANT THIS! So like I've said before, KNOWLEDGE is POWER! I know that you can do this...the question is, will you keep moving forward even if the challenges are slowing you down? Another thing that I'd like to share is a webinar that I created last night. It can be used as a tool for you to become demotivated, or it can be a great prospecting tool. Fast-forward to 2.11 minutes in the presentation to start at the beginning. (first 2 minutes is silence) Here is a summary of what you will experience: 57% growth over last year, projected to have our first $1 Billion year in 2015. Why you may want to take a closer look about why our company is attracting the BEST and most professional of individuals while also knowing how to have fun!

 So today is the day...the start of the 90 day GLOBAL, company wide action plan! ARE YOU READY? HAVE YOU DECIDED to go for it?
If you have, chances are you've been hit with at least one challenge that has tried to set you off course or has made you feel as though this isn't the time to step into this next 90 days. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I don't have to tell you all the things that have happened for me in the past week...but let's just say I wasn't expecting a dozen challenges and road blocks would come at me...but they did. Some much worse and more challenging than others. What I can say is that because I knew (from Eric Worre's caution to us) that once we make a decision the universe has a way of challenging us to knock us off course or to test us to see if we really do want this or not. "You'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do by the things you did. You must develop your personal growth and skills in this business. This will build your confidence." - David Wood If you don't work on these components you cannot expect anything from the next 90 days. How does a person do this? TAKE ACTION! You have to let go of the habit of getting ready to get ready...and just JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET! My hope for you is that you will STOP expecting something magical to happen and that you will be willing to invest in yourself. Give up the expectation that someone else (your sponsor, your spouse, your mail carrier, etc...) owes you anything. YOU are the one responsible for your success or failure...TAKE ACTION & have a great ATTITUDE and you will become a magnet to others. "if it is meant to be, it is up to me" Tara Cooper Have a GREAT week ahead! YOU CAN DO THIS!
