Terminator

Every day (nearly) I read my goals.

Then, here’s a weird thing I do - I often read them in reverse.  So that the last one doesn't just get scanned over.  Goal fairness?

But the one that jumped off the page at me today was this one.  Because I have spent 10s of thousands of dollars on training, invested time and have acquired experience that is priceless and that can save others so much in terms of time and money.

I see people wanting to earn more, add a side hustle or pursue a dream and I then I see the EXACT same mistakes I made.  And it pains me!  I know I can save people massive time and money and to see someone flourish and overcome their own mindset in addition to give them practical tools...well, I definitely find my personal joy and fulfillment in that.  So this is the uncrated real life experience that money can't buy.

So here are the exact word I read daily.


In addition, I am aiming to help the person this resonates with.

The goal is to inspire others to build their incomes by focusing on building themselves mentally and physically.  I believe that so many people out there are like me.  They have mountains of potential inside but aren't reaching it because they are fuzzy, lethargic, and lack the vitality for life to feel like they can pour themselves out enough to increase their income.  Income is ENERGY.  In order to build more, you need more energy, clarity and joy.  Or at least that is there person I want to help.

I firmly believe that if you focus on your fitness, your skills and your mental game, you will automatically see that spill over into your work, whatever that is.

And what is funny, maybe no haha funny, but ironic about this, is Im not a naturally energetic, organized, or high performing person.  So I've had to learn and practice and learn.  And maybe I've felt like an underdog in life and I've overcome.  So I might be pulled to that person as well.

At least I have ALOT.. more than ALOT of things I have to do in order to do what brings me joy and have a fulfilling vocation.   I went from 2.0 in college to a 4.0 in a tough graduate program, very and landing a job where I went to the top of my pay garden my position in 4 short years.  I then launched not one but 2 successful businesses, and reached goals that were once far off dreams in other areas of life to reach.  I want to share that with the person who feels they have more to offer but feels like its out of their reach.

I've spent alot of time feeling like things were out of my reach.  Alot of mindset things still plague me and probably always will.  But I know in my heart I was ut here for a reason and so were you.  I also know that I can bring people on this journey starting from ground zero again and inspire them to move away from their ground zero.

For me, my former company changed their business model and my 10 years of developing people, systems and customer service was lost as the company absorbed my business and my paycheck went from thousands a month to hundreds.

So, if that resonates, whats your ground zero?  Do you want to follow along with me as I rebuild and lets focus on the things that make us our best, which automatically triggers success in other areas?

PS...got new sunglasses....do I look like the terminator?  Kinda feeling like it today! Let me hear from you??
