The reason Brian and I have our own business is a result of one little challenge. "Write down three things you're tolerating and stop doing them!" It sounded simple enough, but little did we know that it would turn our life on its ear ... Thank God!
On my list were two things with a lot in common. Two part time jobs - working for other people and one directly tied to the house we were living in at the time. I took one look at Brian and declared, "I can not NOT be an entrepreneur. Sorry, baby, but we have to move!"
A decision was made in that very moment, and thus began our journey to move out of Toleration and move in to Celebration! It has been a heck of a journey and it all started with that one simple exercise, one little request.
The AHA moment for me in this experience was ... If I don't value myself enough to stop tolera ting things, people and activities that no longer work for me, how can I expect to truly thrive?
Ah, yes, that value piece again. If you've seen our recent videos (http://tinyurl.com/23byj2x), you've been hearing how essential the value you place on your services is. But what about the value you place on YOURSELF ... that is where the true value begins.
What we have found time and time again, for ourselves and for our clients, is that if you don't value yourself and treat yourself with respect and love ... no one else will. And if you don't value yourself, it is very difficult to value what you do and what you can do for others.
With that in mind, we have a few questions we'd like you to think about:
1 - Does your environment inspire you? Are you elated every single day when you wake up in your surroundings. Do you go into a work space that inspir es you and makes you feel prosperous and productive?
2 - Do you spend time doing what you love? Are you in work that you love? Are you surrounding yourself with people you love? Are you treating yourself with the love and respect you deserve?
3 - Do you stand in your power in relationships, speak your truth and put yourself first so that you can be your very best and give your very best to others?
4 - Are you surrounded by people you can't wait to see and talk to who truly support you and "get" you?
5 - Is there any aspect of your life you are tolerating? - painful relationships, a home or office that doesn't inspire you, activities that are not your brilliance and do not bring you great joy.
If so, you know your assignment for this week ... :)
Your Authentic Assignment
For whatever reason, you are reading this now in this moment and it is time to take a look at your life and your business - write 3 things down that you are tolerating ... and STOP doing them!
If they really need to be done, hire someone to do them for you (it will be one of the best investments you make).
This is the time! Value yourself enough to make the decision to stop Tolerating and start Celebrating!
Step into your greatness, step into your greater life, so you can help more people and make more money ... doing what you LOVE - not what you are tolerating.
