Make The Decision

Make The Decision

Do you struggle to follow through on decisions that you made to improve your physical, mental, or spiritual being? Maybe you struggle to actually make the decision, to begin with. This is a simple tip on how I handle these types of decisions. It’s simply asking will my future self thank me for this decision?

Hello. If you're new here, my name is Michele and I am a life and success coach utilizing my experience as a certified online business manager to help female entrepreneurs achieve their goals, their visions, their dreams, so they can live a good life and actually have time to enjoy it.

Insert Shock Wave Here

I’m sure this is going to be a real shocker. Our future self is affected by all those little and big decisions that we make. Really, can you think of a decision that will not impact your future self? Who you will be in the future? Who do you aspire to become in the future?

My vision board has a future self that is fit, healthy, and happy. That has influenced my decision to begin a 40-Day Sugar Fast, 30-Day Yoga Challenge, get my life coaching certification and join a weekly bible study.

My vision board has a future self that weaves her knowledge and experience as an online business manager into a life and success coach for online mom entrepreneurs. She has a strong desire to help other moms to find the balance of running an online business while having time to live “the good life” with her family.

Make Decisions

That dang voice

When that dang voice in my head tells me to write a blog post and record a YouTube about a topic that is completely outside of my comfort zone that means sharing from my uncomfortable zone it is with my future self in mind. Because she knows that I’ve done the self-coaching to get past all the mind drama that has kept her fearful in business.

It reminds me of the Albert Einstein quote “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

I think the same principle applies to decision-making. When we make decisions based on the person we are at that current moment, it may not have the best interest of our future self in mind.

In fact, it has the potential to keep your future self in the same place that you are today.

That’s scary in my eyes. Thinking back to the person I was starting my business. No way she would have the courage to write a blog post to share her true thoughts due to fear of judgment.

Instead of going outward, but turning inward when making decisions with a knowing that my future self understands that living “the good life” is having belief in my decision making.

Decision-making can feel hard or it can feel easy. We each get to choose our own path with that. I feel it’s hard when I spend hours being wishy-washy with my decisions. I feel it is easy when I make the decision while keeping how it will affect the future, in mind.

Little Side Note

We can get tangled up in decision-making so easily in life and business. Make sure to look at the decision from different angles. Such as, for your business look at it through the eyes of your clients and team. In life, look at it through the eyes of your family. How will your decision impact others?

Struggling to Implement Ideas?

Struggling to Implement Ideas?

Are you about to reach six figures or have you crossed the six-figure mark and now find yourself struggling to implement the next big ideas? Coming up with the next big ideas for your business is not your bottleneck. Nope, it is taking action to implement your next big business idea. If this is you, you're not alone, and actually, you're in good company with a ton of online entrepreneurs. If you’re struggling to scale in your business it may be time to build a team of action takers to implement your next big idea.

Hello. If we haven't met before, my name is Michele and I am a life and success coach utilizing my experience as a certified online business manager to help female entrepreneurs achieve their goals, their visions, and their dreams, so they can live a good life and actually have time to enjoy it.

Bottleneck?

Are you the bottleneck in your business when it comes to taking action and implementation of your next ideas, you’re not alone? Entrepreneurs tend to be visionaries. Your minds come up with all kinds of amazing ideas. That’s not the problem.

If you are an entrepreneur that has grown to six figures in your online business the problem is not coming up with the next idea. That’s easy! The hard part and where I see so many online entrepreneurs struggle and be the bottleneck in scaling their business.

It’s all used up

Your determination to bring to life your dream was bigger than your limitations.

Even though taking action and implementation is not one of your greatest strengths you did it anyway because you were driven and determined to bring your idea to life. Now, you find your determination has been all used up with your first big idea.

Struggling To Implement Ideas?

What happens when the determination begins to fade?

I know what you’re wondering, what happens when the determination begins to fade. What are your next steps? How do you overcome this?

At the beginning of your business, it was great. Each day you sat at your desk determined to build your business, the good life you craved. But, now you’re all tangled up in the day-to-day operations.

The very thought of having to run the business and bring a new idea to life has zero appeal to you.

Do you have this common problem?

There is a very common problem that I hear from far too many business owners. They have a six-figure offer that is one-and-done. Let me clarify what is a one-and-done offer. Your customer buys from you one time because you have nothing else they can buy from you.

Instead of building a team, you spend your time on the hamster wheel of selling your one-and-done offer. Stay with me now, what if you brought on a team to help you build your next idea that could bring in recurring revenue from your current customers? This would get you off the hamster wheel of having to constantly sell in order to grow your business.

Either Way

You’ve lost the dream of why you started the business because implementation and action-taking are really not in your wheelhouse.

Now you’re stuck. You’re stuck in managing the offer, the business, the selling, and all the crap you no longer want to do in the business.

Really, in order to grow your business, you need to step out of the doing and focus on the big picture goals you have for your business. That is something only YOU can do.

If implementation and action-taking is a limitation of yours it may be time to build a team of action takers.

Don’t you wish you could get out of your own way and onto the growth path?

Is that something you’d like for your business?

As an online business manager with a team of project managers, this is where we tend to step into a business.

Our clients have built a solid foundation, but they are done with the day-to-day management and operations of the business. They’ve reached the point of burnout and exhaustion. They have created and implemented an offer that is launched and profitable. They have hit a ceiling and are not able to grow and scale.

They have been burning the candle at both ends with running a business and a family.

And, just can not do it any longer.

Private Coaching

Why do I believe in the power of private coaching?

Because it is truly life-changing. When your coach asks you that mind-blowing question that suddenly allows you to see what you've been missing all along that was literally right in front of your face.

You just need someone with a different perspective to help you see it.

Are you ready to experience life from a different perspective?

I’m not for Everyone

I’m not for Everyone

These words are hard for me to write and even harder for me to say. I’m not for everyone. Why is this simple phrase so difficult for me to accept? That’s the work that I’m doing for myself. Why is it so hard to accept that it is okay that I’m not for everyone? It’s my fear of rejection.

Hello. If we haven't met before, my name is Michele and I am a life and success coach utilizing my experience as a certified online business manager to help female entrepreneurs achieve their goals, their visions, their dreams, so they can live a good life and actually have time to enjoy it.

Exactly What I Need?

As I’m finishing up my coach training. I joined Stacey Boehman’s 2k for 2k program. The program is to help make money as a life coach. My thought, that’s exactly what I need. I’m currently an OBM, how do I make money as a life and success coach?

Stacey is a Master Certified Coach from The Life Coach School. In this program, Stacey uses the “The Model” in her coaching.

I dove right in, I went through and consumed all the information.

The Hard Stuff

Then circled back to go through it again and do the hard stuff. All the work that goes along with the teachings. It’s uncovering my baggage that I keep hidden in the back of my mind.

The very first model that I ran on myself came from journaling on why I look outside myself for ideas? Why are the ideas that I have not good enough? This journaling brought up one feeling – Rejection.

Looking at this thought of rejection is why this is so difficult for me to accept. I’m not for everyone.

Why do I need to look outside myself for ideas and inspiration instead of turning inward and using my life experiences?

My thoughts were saying, you need to be like someone else. If you are not being yourself it is okay if people reject you.

Fear Of Rejection

Figuring it out

I’ve been able to pinpoint my fear of rejection to two major life events.

  1. My Dad
  2. Getting Laid Off From My Job

My parents married young and were divorced by the time I hit second grade. It’s not an uncommon childhood story. Lots of kids live this exact same thing. But, why has my story led me to believe that I need to be accepted by everyone? Instead of embracing that I’m not for everyone.

When I think about my dad, my first thought is, ‘spending time with her is not as fun as spending time in the bar with my friends.’ I know the exact memory that has caused this thinking.

My brother and I were waiting for our dad to pick us up to spend the weekend with him. It wasn’t often that we went to spend time with him and I was super excited, only to be let down.

My brother and I waited with our little bags packed. We waited and waited but he never came.

Later that evening, in our one-bedroom house, I overheard my Mom talking to my Dad and he was too busy having fun at the bar to get us. He was too busy having fun.

I was like 7 at the time. That memory, and even writing it out, now brings tears to my eyes. My thoughts: I'm not fun enough to be around. Partying is more fun than spending time with me.

The second was getting laid off from my job.

Really, the whole conversation is a blur in my head now. My boss had set a meeting with me. Which I was very thankful for because I had a number of outstanding items that I needed to discuss with him.

My chipper hello was quickly chased away with his cold uncaring voice telling me that someone from HR was on the phone and he would transfer me to review my severance package. The sales department was going through a restructuring. My position has been eliminated and I was now being laid off effective immediately.

Rejected. Not good enough.

Flipping the script

It’s funny because my heart knows that it was God, actually protecting me. He was protecting me from a Dad that didn’t know how to really love and care for his kids. Now I know, he was hurting and was wrapped up in his own mind drama. Spending time with him would not have been healthy. The Lord was protecting me from a job that I didn’t love that made me toxic.

But in my mind, it felt like rejection. It felt like I’m not enough, someone or something else is better than me. But the truth is, I’m not for everyone. And that’s okay! I am me, I have a purpose, a mission, a destiny. I am daily evolving into who I was created to be.

Now, in the middle between who I was and who I will become, is right and good. We are who we need to be in every moment of our lives, this is the gift of God that we learn and we grow and get to experience all the stages of our lives in living color.

I’m not for everyone, but I’m here for those that I’m destined to cross paths. I am good enough and this knowledge brings meaning and purpose to my life.

This is me working through my baggage. I really hope it helps someone else work through their baggage too.
