Yesterday's Q&A Call was OFF THE CHAIN! Every single person on the call took action (during the call) to ACT AS IF they've transformed a big goal of theirs into a >> DECISION! There's a difference between a goal you are chasing, and a DECISION you've made. Where you've DECIDED that this is ALREADY DONE - because you have called on all the forces of the universe, on god, on all that is and you've committed. THIS...IS...HAPPENING And then... We chose an action to do right then on the call (RIGHT NOW). I call this ACTING AS IF ACTING AS IF means our action is in alignment with the level of resolve and absolute commitment of our DECISION. So - we asked what action could we take right now, right then on the call, that demonstrates shows the world/universe we've transformed this goal into a DECISION and that we expect and fully KNOW it is going to actually happen. Take me for example: I noticed I've been wanting to go to Columbus, OH and do an intensive with my coach. But I've been just talking about it (not actually doing it). Oh and 2 of my clients are also in Columbus, OH and I really want to do a meetup with them IRL. So right there on the call, I changed that 'wish' into a DECISION. I've now decided that flying to Columbus, OH and doing an intensive with my coach IS HAPPENING! And while i'm there I'm meeting up with 2 of my clients. And then the craziest thing happened! My coach came onto the call!! I had no idea he was coming to the call. He immediately came off mute and shared that he's been wanting to do intensives with his clients but hasn't done it yet. So - in harmony with helping me ACT AS IF, I asked my coach "What if I sent you money right now - to ACT AS IF I'm coming to Columbus, OH and you and I are doing an intensive?!!" He immediately agreed - then shared screen as he sent me the invoice for the deposit for the intensive, and I paid it right then and there on the call. I ACTED AS IF THEN...our job is to get ready to notice our good coming to us - because IT ACTUALLY IS.

Ever try to balance yourself on top of a bicycle that isn't moving? (NO KICKSTAND) Good luck! Enjoy your trip and have a nice fall. Reality does not allow us to sit on top of a bike without the bike being in motion. We have to continue to move if we want to keep our balance. We have to continue to pedal the bike if we want to stay on top. Business is the same way. A business that isn't moving (progressing) is about as difficult to stay on top of as a bike sitting still. We have to continue to pedal (progress) our business and keep it in motion. If we don't continue to push our business forward, we WILL fall flat on our faces. MOMENTUM IS EVERYTHING We have to continue to push our business forward, every single day. We have to continue to pedal if we want to stay on top of our business. Sound like a lot of work? You bet. With work comes rewards. The more we pedal our business and move it forward, the stronger we become. The stronger we become, The more we can pedal and we create this magical force called MOMENTUM. Momentum keeps us moving forward, Even on those bad days when we feel like we've accomplished nothing, Even on those worse days when we feel like we've actually moves backwards. Momentum is the driving force to business, fitness, and overall wellness. We have to maintain our momentum every single day, by putting in the work to gain those small wins. Those small wins add to our momentum and push us forward even on those bad days. The more small wins we can add to our momentum, the more momentum we gain. Ever went down a hill on your bike? You flew down the hill effortlessly without even pedaling. Why did you fly down the hill so effortlessly? Because you had MOMENTUM. Ever pedaled your bike up a hill? I bet it was difficult, time consuming, and effort intensive. Why? Because MOMENTUM was working against you. In the beginning your business is a bike that needs to be pedaled up hill. It will be difficult, it will cost you a lot of work and a lot of time.

Another reason to attend our Saturday Q&A calls (11:30-1pm Eastern - see calendar for the link).

I just read this post in @Mitchell Dallas 's community by @Jaydian Concepcion "Motivation is a guest. Discipline pays the rent." Here's another one I love: "Discipline brings freedom." Another way of saying it is that the path to freedom is discipline. I personally struggled with discipline for years, not wanting to be constrained. I resisted surrendering to discipline as if it was a limitation. Boy did I have it WRONG. This is precisely WHY i've created my Purpose Activation ritual, and why I teach it to my clients (business owners and career builders). Whatever result we want (goal, outcome,etc.) - ask what are the habits that would make realizing/achieving that goal/outcome INEVITABLE? And after 29 years in business, nothing has been more effective for me, than activating my purpose as part of my morning routine, where I: - read my purpose statement - read WHO I serve - read all the ways I serve them - and most importantly...I read my 80 reasons WHY living my purpose is a MUST. This morning routine of activating my purpose and especially the last part (reading the reasons WHY living my purpose is a MUST) is the way I use discipline to cause, unleash and command motivation on-demand. It's my krobar. It give me an enormous amount of energy, drive and focus - that protects me throughout my day - so that when the hard that is part of life shows up - it's more of a speedbump I giggle at as I hop over it and handle it. Let me know in the comments, if you'd like me to create a course here teaching you my purpose activation process.
