Are Things Happening For You or To You?
Wow! This showed up for me big time with week.
It’s been a week of highs and lows all rolled into one.
On Wednesday, I hosted over 80 agents for a class on Articulating Your Value. It’s something I really struggled with early in my career. Over time I’ve gone from dreading the conversation to welcoming it. Helping agents see their value, and know that they are worthy of their fee is something I’m passionate about.
From there I went on to record a podcast episode with the amazing Erin Bradley of Pursuing Freedom. We covered a lot in a short period of time. Erin is someone that I have tremendous respect for, and it was an honor to be on her show. The episode will air next week.
In the midst of these amazing experiences – there’s been a lot of ‘life’ happening with aging parents, and both boys being injured in the middle of baseball season.
I’m feeling all the feels right now. Happiness, joy and excitement on the work front. Anger, sadness, grief and disappointment on the home front.
It’s a pattern that many of us experience. Good things happen, momentum starts to build and then something takes us off course.
- Something happens with our relationships
- There’s a family emergency
- We experience a financial set back
- Our health takes a turn (my pattern has been migraines that take me out for a day or two)
In the midst of wondering ‘why is all of this crazy stuff happening right now’ I was able to take a step back and see it for what it really is.
I’m taking a HUGE step forward with coaching other agents and helping them navigate their own up-leveling. So this is an opportunity for me to do the same.
By leaning into the support of my mastermind and repeating over an over again that things happen for me vs to me I’ve been able to crack the door on seeing things differently and knowing that this doesn’t have to derail me.
If you were on the Articulating Your Value call, you know that I have a new Mastermind starting next month called Prosper: Magnetize Clients, Income and The Confidence to Create it on Repeat.
My mission is to create a Mastermind that has the ‘work stuff’ you need and also acknowledges the ‘life stuff’ that happens in the midst of it with a strong dose of with mindset and energy work. I believe that mindset and energy work are the foundation for everything. It’s proving it be true over and over in my own life as well those in my current mastermind groups. It’s about having the tools to navigate all of this.
The details will be out in the next week or so, but if Prosper something you are interest in, hit replay and lets’ chat.
To your success!
