“Let your creative and imaginative mind run freely;
it will take you places you never dreamed of
and provide breakthroughs
that others once thought were impossible.”

Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

20 August 2020

Dear Renée,

Do you have a nagging feeling that you need a change; that you are not living the life of your dreams? 

That’s what happened to me about ten years ago and it caused me to start a wonderful journey of transformation. After being in the financial world for over 25 years I realized it was no longer something I got excited about. I felt I was stagnating and not living up to my full potential.

I knew there was more out there for me if I only dreamed big and found the courage to get out of my comfort zone. 

So, I began thinking about changing my career to find more satisfaction and fulfillment. I didn’t start off though thinking about being a start-up business coach working with solopreneurs. I took a few twists and turns along the way but eventually discovered what I was meant to do thanks to a new friend who asked me to help her put together a business plan to be appointed the sole distributor for a European product throughout the entire African continent. Much of the exercise was working with her to focus, breathe, and dream big by ignoring her doubts.  She succeeded and the rest, as they say, “is history”!

So are you feeling satisfied and fulfilled on your present journey?  Or maybe, it’s time to get courageous and think about trying on something new? Below are some initial steps you can take to start the process.  I’d love to help too, after all, that’s why I’m here!

Taking the LEAP with you!

How to Try On—and Actually Get—the Life of Your Dreams

Many articles, books, and workshops advise dreamers to act “as if.” Act as if you already have your dream job. Act as if you’re successful. Act as if you’re confident. 

While some may see this as being “Woo Woo”, it is actually based on neuroscience. 

If we subscribe to the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction theories behind this “as if” action, it means if we try on the thing we've always wanted, we’re more likely to achieve it. Another version of this is: “Fake it till you make it.”, or as Amy Cudhy states, “Fake it till you become it.”

Problems arise, however, if we don’t actually want the life we say we want. For instance, we may say we want to start or grow our own business, but if we actually don’t want the added responsibility, acting “as if” will be an empty exercise.  We will not take the needed actions to get out of our comfort zones to make it happen. 

So what’s the solution?

How does a person turn what they say they want into what they actually get?

Here are some ways to begin.

Start slowly. When people decide to make a significant change in their lives they often try to do too many things at once and get overwhelmed or discouraged. Focus on one thing at a time that’ll get you closer to the “you” you’d like to become. Discuss your ideas with others to see if they think it is a good fit based on how they assess your skills, attributes, and experience.  We often underestimate our skills or take them for granted, so it takes others to point them out to us. And don’t be afraid to change directions if what you were focusing on doesn’t work. It’s all market research.

Align your goals and values. If your goals do not align with your core values and beliefs, you will meet resistance every step of the way. For example, if you think rich people are greedy and mean, you will likely be unable to grow your business, as deep in your subconscious you do not want to become “greedy and mean”! We need to reframe our mindset to align with our desired outcomes. Given the above example, a useful mantra would be, “I am running a successful and ethical business where I provide enormous value to my clients.”

Face your resistance. Change is challenging for most of us. Give yourself a leg-up by being willing to face any underlying beliefs that might be getting in your way. This can be your biggest obstacle in becoming the “new” you. We all have limiting beliefs (e.g. “I’m not good enough”, or “I can’t do that”) that can sabotage us so we stay in our comfort zones. This is where it is especially helpful to get help, as often we don’t even see the limiting belief until someone points it out to us.
