Janie thought what she lacked was motivation. That if she only got more of that magic sauce it would get her out of that directionless low energy rut.
In her own words:
"I was stuck in a low energy, low motivation, rut with no direction or purpose - and didn't know how to get out of it. I was spending most of the day watching Netflix in a zoned-out zombie state. I also knew I needed to start increasing my personal income to alleviate stress and this negative cycle I was in. I felt like I was wasting my life away."
Here's the thing... Janie is a powerhouse of a human being who a lot of people look up to and admire.
Living a life she wasn't proud of was tough on her. The gap between who she knew she could be and who she was being was eating at her.
So we got to work.
Not on what she technically needed to do, but on reminding her what she's capable of and pushing her to demand greatness of herself. To realize her potential and stop getting in her own way.
And in 3 months she had a total shift.
She created clarity on what she wants to accomplish in life, stopped getting in her own way and became ultra-disciplined.
She stepped up and became the person she recognized she needed to be to fulfill her potential... and she got results.
"I've had my best financial month ever (made $30k in personal income this month, which is my best month ever), suddenly have a strong pipeline of very high paying clients, felt confident enough to say YES to a massive business opportunity today (which I would have previously turned down due to fear), and it's like all of a suddenly I have this new momentum. And I don't even have the inclination to watch Netflix anymore!"
It was an honor to be in her corner and watch her go.
She's a beautiful example of what people can achieve when they decide to say to themselves "I'm better than that and it's time to stop settling."
So when I asked her what she would tell people about her transformation in this past month and what she would tell others is possible if they felt stuck due to fear or pressure.
"It literally took me from "cannot get out of bed and have no money" to "omg fuck I've got so many amazing projects and money pouring into my bank account, this is ridiculous". The transformation in my mindset towards what I'm capable of has shifted dramatically, and I started being open to opportunities which have opened doors and increased my personal income substantially.
I have less stress, less anxiety, more energy, more money, more excitement for life."
While the money is great, Janie's never been this confident and happy. She's accomplishing so many amazing things in both business and her personal life. She's such a boss.
What You Can Do To Take Action Now
If where Janie was at the start of her journey feels familiar, take a note from her playbook and:
- Ask yourself "Is this all that I'm truly capable of or am I better than this?"
- Take a moment (right now) and write down the exact date that you will no longer put up with this.
- Figure out the most impactful first step to making that happen and GO FOR IT.
Who dares wins,
