LUCK

I don’t like the word Luck. It gives the impression that success has favorites and we have no choice. I much prefer the word GRACE. It’s available to us all but we are left with the choice to use it or not.

I learnt this lesson exactly 200 days ago when i decided to de cluster my house and by extension my life. At the beginning of 2019 i decided i needed to de stress, and for me it meant replacing bad habits with good ones and also creating an environment that was calming and less stress prone. This meant old clothes, shoes, books and some relationships had to go. Anything that didn’t feed my joy or my mind positively was given the boot.

The whole process took me about 40 days to complete but at the end, every corner of my house had been detoxed.

My greatest fear with any new habit is sustaining it but i guarded this one jealously and after 200 days it is clear to me and my family that this new me is here to stay. In 200 days i have not ‘looked for something’ ( a major source of stress for my former self ) in my house because everything has an ‘address’. I have not left my house without laying my bed and turning my diffuse reeds, i have also not been late for an appointment and i have been great at managing stress.

This has spilled over into every area of my life and yes my business and fitness life too. To be a good business person or to stay fit you must first get your life, space and your mind organized. This has nothing to do with Luck. it is time to take control of your life and activate the Grace to take action. The Grace is available to us all.

PAIN

I have experienced a lot of it lately. The pain in my shoulder and from migraines got me popping pain killers and wincing like a child. I don’t like it. I especially don’t like how it slows me down, holding me back from doing everything i have to do. Unfortunately, pain is part of the game. If you want to up your fitness you will at some point have to face it.

I have learnt in 3 years that pain is a reality but also means different things and you must be discerning enough to interpret and respond right. Now there is pain that says ‘hollup’ you are doing it wrong, when hollup shows up you don’t give up you adjust.

Then there is pain that says ‘backup’ you are pushing too hard, oh i am so familiar with backup and when she shows up you better chill.

There is pain that says ‘keep it up’ this pain you wear with pride, it means you are changing gears and getting stronger.

And there is the pain that says ‘rest up’ don’t fight it just humble yourself before injury humbles you.

it is the same in business. I have experience pain in my business life too and like in fitness, it’s inevitable. I am sensitive too to what the pain is saying. 

Sometimes the pain says you need to fire a good hand to hire a better one, sometimes it’s saying you need to back off and delegate more, once it said ‘you are getting stale you need to reinvent yourself’ and yes many times i learn from pain that it’s okay for me to take a break.

Just like i need to work rest days and recovery days into my fitness program to make me a stronger runner, i have learnt i need to take care of me more to be a better entrepreneur. It’s a hard lesson for one so driven and self motivated but the pain is humbling and as i nurse a sprained shoulder….i admit i am still learning this life lesson.

EXCUSES

 

These are the excuses I have heard so far. Excuses that have prevented people from taking the course . 

  1. I don’t have money: But your lack of knowledge causes your business to loose money and money making opportunities daily. You are right . You really don’t have money.
  2. I am too busy, may be later: Change is NEVER convenient. Time does fly. You do what you prioritize and everything else adjusts.

3.I am not new to the business: Yes you have been in business longer than me but you have done it wrong longer too. This course is not just for beginners it’s for change makers.

4.I don’t like online courses: Really? In 2019? I’ve made my course easy and fun (lots of animation too)but this mindset will hold you back if you don’t change it fast.

5.My customers will stop buying from me if I change to RTW. : One step at a time please. First step is to take the course not shut down your business 😂😂😂😂 There have been some “designer” excuses too, some too ridiculous even for creatives. Excuses reflect our fears of the unknown . Nothing trumps fear like action. Take action. Take the course.
