Have you ever considered how small of a world we allow ourselves to operate in? Each of us has a different self-perceived box we play in. Some of us think bigger, take bigger risk, and as a result live in a “bigger box.” It’s still a box though.
I think it has something to do with permission.
Permission to be heard. Permission to be seen. Permission to show up and show up BIG.
Have you ever had a hard time deciding something and just didn’t feel that you were properly qualified or you didn’t feel confident in being the right leader for the task? So what did you do? Did you look for validating evidence or methods to see how “others” were doing it so you could do it the “right” way? Ever second guess yourself and then just not take action on an idea you completely feel inspired about because no one else was doing it?
Have you been resisting and suppressing the urge to bring out your story/gift/blessing in the form of a book? You know that feeling, that internal gnawing? That internal voice that validates the box you live in, “You’re not an author. Who are you to write a book? What could you possibly share that people would want to read?”
How about a life-long passion (this can often be linked to your purpose or blessing too!) in your life that has been put on the shelf because you don’t have the time or you don’t know how to turn it into a profitable business? Or even better, you rationalize with yourself that you shouldn’t turn a profit with your purpose or passion and consequently you ignore it.
THIS is the box. This box exists because of the permission we give it and for the permission we seek when we’re constructing our next bigger box (those whom are productive are always building a bigger box).
The new way of business is transforming the collective size of this confined space.
Here are the three steps you can do today to exponentially explode your business, practically overnight.
(see leap out of the box)
- Block out ATLEAST one hour a day – don’t open your web browser (no email, facebook, twitter, no phone — no distractions) this is your time – pick only lucrative, irresistible possibilities “it just MIGHT happen”
- In that one hour of time each day – completely forget who you “think” you are and give yourself permission to be who you were born to be (don’t be silly, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about).
- Take a deep breath. Rinse and repeat (complete 1 & 2 each day… duh).
Feel robbed that I only gave you two steps? Don’t be if you do both of these steps daily it will exponentially explode your business. Guaranteed.
A few of you MIGHT even say to yourself, I’m going to do that… sounds simple enough, investing an hour a day on irresistible possibilities – are you kidding me? I’m sooo worth it!
What I’ve found is that the intention to do this is a novel indeed however, like most good intentions, we squander them. Why? I propose that most of us aren’t creating the results we want BECAUSE we’re doing it alone or simply because we don’t have a process/system/support to maintain an appropriate level of consistency (and we hardly find ourselves creating new habits without help right?).
Just promise me one thing…
Commit to not doing it alone. Need help with this? Find a coach, business partner, supportive friend (who understands business) OR here’s an open invitation to ask me what I do. >Drop me a line here.<
A step in the wrong direction is better than staying on the spot all our life. Once you’re moving forward you can correct your course as you go. Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you’re standing still. ~Maxwell Maltz
