Do you find change difficult? Do the people you surround yourself with, those who knew you from back in the day, when you had no clue who you were and you...let's just say you made some silly choices back in the day that rendered you a bad name. Now you feel that you want to change your life and your friends and family make change especially hard? Maybe they just don't "get you" now that you've got a hold of yourself and are trying to do better? Whether it's family, friends or co-workers, these people exist. What do you do about them?
What is Jay doing now? He's an entrepreneur. He's in an office now and not on the street corner. He totally reintroduced himself. I know how you feel. You're changing and you know there is something bigger and better coming in your life, and you want to take your family and friends with you on this promising journey. You want them to understand you. I get it. But you have to grow with or without them. They are going to talk about you. So what. They already are. It's time for you to break away from the crowd and get alone with God. Do you realize only three out of every hundred people write down their goals or even plan for their future? What does that mean for you? It means that there are not a whole lot of people like you! The majority of people on this planet think less of themselves, think poverty thoughts and talk about the negative things in life more than they give thanks for the positive things that are happening. So the moment you decide to break away from the crowd and be proactive about your future, be prepared to face a lot of time alone. You will be entering a season of your life where you are going to get to know a lot more about yourself, this is where your character is build and sometimes that can be scary because we have not been taught often enough the importance of spending intentional time alone. Iyanla Vanzant calls it the Value In The Valley. Learn what God is showing you during this season of your life-get the lesson and move on. In today's world we are connected to everything and everyone it's time we get connected, or re-connected, with who we really are.
Then and only then can we be effective with our friends and loved ones. We can't "save" them if we can't "save" ourselves. You have to break away from them and then come back and re-introduce yourself. Those who are meant to be in your life will, and those who are not, will not. And you have to be OK with that. You will make new friends that recognize their purpose and are on the same journey you're on. You will have to step outside of your comfort zone to attract them, but they are there. I want to hear from you! How have you broken away from the crowd and how is your life better for it?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the survey I sent out a few days ago! I appreciate your input and am looking forward to implementing your ideas! Last week, I also sent out my 4-week coaching program, How To Get Paid Simply For Who You Are, and it sold out! I only like working with one small group of people at a time so I can give my full attention to each and every entrepreneur, so I will let you know when space opens up again. I am so excited to announce that I will be live each and every Saturday night at 10 PM EST for 30 powerful and life-changing minutes- starting Saturday, September 28, 2013. Coming soon, a video with more details on whom these Saturday night calls are for. Look out for it in your inbox! You don't have a money problem you have an idea problem. ~Dr. Mike Murdock Money is simply a tool used in exchange for a service or product. Every single thing that was created here on Earth was created to solve a problem. There is a solution to someone's problem inside of you. When you tap in to the problem that you were created to solve, you can then choose the money value that's worth exchanging for your solution. The way in which a solution to a problem will come to you is through an idea. An idea is simply: For example: Imagine you are really good at doing hair and you work at a job that you hate. You would love to do hair for a living, but you're constantly saying, "I don't have the money to do it." Also, each and every weekend you are going out with "your girls" partying and spending money on drinks, food, clothes, shoes, oh yeah, and more shoes 'cause you know you gotta killem right?! So many people spend money on themselves to impress people that they don't even like and who do not like them either. Well, there is your money. Be willing to make the shift. Stop trying to avoid being alone on the weekends. You have to break away from the crowd in order to live your dreams on a daily basis. So now that you see that you do have the money, here's 3 things you can do to start your business rolling: First, set up shop in your house. "In my house, Angel?" Yes! You have to start somewhere and if that's what you have right now, start there. I did. Before I opened up my boutique, it was in my bedroom. Now, you do want to be safe about this. You don't want to post adds with your home address on them, but you can start by spreading the word to all the people that you currently know (and that you're probably already doing their hair now, but you're doing it at low or no-cost). Begin using the money that you're saving from not going out each and every weekend and start buying things that you are going to need to make your money! Second, set up a blog, website and social media page for your new business! Take yourself and your business seriously! This is your brand. If you want others to buy what you're selling you have to set up a way for that to happen. You can have a vision board, affirmation cards and post-it notes hanging all over your house, but if you don't have anything real set up, you're setting yourself up to fail... And third, market your butt off! You can be the best hair-stylist in the world, but if people don't know who you are and what you can do for them you will remain the world's biggest best kept secret. This goes back to the second step. You have to put yourself out there in a big way and technology affords us a way to do this like never before. Most of the things we can do today to market to tons of people through technology are free, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and many others. Even better, not only are they free to use, but they allow you to reach people all over the world too.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to continue to be the world's best kept secret or are you going to figure out the problem you were created to solve, set up your online presence and market your butt off?! I hope you choose the latter, because the world is literally waiting on you! Write down your gifts and talents and brainstorm around them. What could be the best way to capitalize on what you have to offer? I want to hear from you. If you have an idea that you have been sitting on and you're felling stuck about how to get started, let me know in the comments below. I would love to help you get on track to building your successful business! Don't you think it's time for you to start taking your life, your dreams, your goals and your passions seriously. Aren't you tired of fighting your calling? Isn't it draining you playing small all the time so people won't feel uncomfortable around you? I know what that feels like. To be the only person in your group that thinks differently and really wants to make something amazing happen in this world...but you're surround by small minded people that sit around and talk about other people all day. That may have been you too at one point in time, just like it was me. Now though, you feel a deeper calling on your life and no one around you can understand you. In fact, they may have noticed a change in you and even said to you that you've been really distant lately. You don't really call them as much as you used to, but you still stick around because you don't want to hurt their feelings -after all, you may have known them for many, many years now. You still continue to hang out with them each and every weekend at the same place, with the same people, talking about the same stuff! But something is different about you now.
How do I know? Because that was my life. I knew I was changing and the things I used to do started not appealing to me anymore, but I didn't want to stop being friends with these people because then, what would I do on the weekends? Who would I hang out with? Who would I party with? Who would I dance with? Who would I tell all my problems to? Who would I lean on for help? GOD! Yup, that's who my new party friend became: God. When I walked away from my old friends and my old way of doing things, God became all I had! So, because I know you -yes, you- are an UNCOMMON person, or else you wouldn't even be on my mailing list or reading this blog, I am opening up my phone lines each and every Saturday night to coach you into your destiny! I know the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and having accountability in your life. Can you just imagine having the confidence to really be who you are and finally create the life you were BORN TO LIVE? I want to help you get there! This is a NO FEE weekly weekend call every Saturday night at 10 pm, but there is ONE catch... I want to hear from you! If this is something that you would greatly benefit from, all you need to do is simply reply back to this email and or comment below and let me know you're ready to become the BEST freakin' you possible! Talk to you soon ;) Your Life Coach, Angel |
