“Self-reflection is a much kinder teacher than regret is. 
Prioritize yourself by making a habit of it.”

Hello Renée,

WARNING!  This newsletter may make you feel uncomfortable. 

The strong imagery is not meant to offend but to WAKE YOU UP in case you are sleeping!  We only have one life to live, so you better live it to the fullest.  Don’t live a mundane life; it will make your life miserable and unfulfilled.  Don’t have regrets on your deathbed. 

Go after your dreams, no matter how far fetched.  And don’t worry about the “HOW” right now.  Just take the step today (and each and everyday thereafter) to promise yourself (and say it out loud),  “I am following my dreams, right NOW!”   

Taking the LEAP with you!

Being Big in Your Life!
If Not Now, When?

Picture a graveyard... Under the big oak tree in the far corner, there’s a granite headstone. Look closer...  See the name engraved? Yep, it’s yours. So you’re sitting there, looking at your own headstone.  There’s your year of birth, and the year you—heaven forbid—pass.  And between them, there’s a little, coy hyphen. Now, here’s the good news: that hyphen is what you get to play with!

ON BEING BIG

Let’s take a moment to think analytically about that hyphen. There are two things that anyone who aspires to be big must face.

Note: I didn’t use the phrase “playing big” but “being big”: get the difference?  We don’t want to just “play” we want to “be”!

The first thing is to know what you want to do (we’ll get to the second in a moment).  Or, in the words of poet Mary Oliver, “Tell me, what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

So how do you determine what you want out of life—your career, your business, your relationships and your free time? It is a surprisingly hard process for many of us. It’s much easier to abide by the rules and plans of others than to look within ourselves and see clearly what we are meant to—and would really, really enjoy with the whole of our being—do.

Conquer Your Fears and Empower Yourself

Do you feel so overwhelmed by fear that it is preventing you from doing something you want to do?  Believe it or not, this is a common problem faced by many people every single day.  It stops us from Being Big!

Fear has the power to stop you from taking risks, following your dreams or becoming successful at anything you attempt to do.  If you allow it to control you for long enough, it can eventually erode your quality of life, your relationships and keep you locked in a prison of inactivity, and boredom.  It can lead you into a life of monotony and resentment.  Are you okay with that?

What many people fail to realize is fear is nothing more than a conditioned response.  It's a natural reaction to a frightening or unfamiliar situation.  Fear tries to protect us; when in fact it may be harmful by stopping our growth. 

While a sense of fear is usually automatic, there are things you can do to overcome it...

Renée Blasky is the Founder and CEO of The LEAP Network Ltd.

She wasn’t always the risk-taking entrepreneur that she is today. Through several important life experiences, including being an "expat" for the vast majority of her life and sailing an ocean, she learned the importance and benefits of risk-taking and how to embrace risk rather than fear it! Renée also realized capturing life’s fulfillment meant giving back to others. So, she started her second business: The LEAP Network in order to share her experiences and expertise with entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs.  This includes "trailing spouses", stay-at-home parents or elderly care givers who have sacrificed their careers due to circumstances beyond their control.  Renée coaches existing entrepreneurs on ways to monetize their passion, revitalize their businesses and take action to grow their businesses.  She coaches those  who have sacrificed their careers, either by choice or by uncontrolled circumstances, to eliminate frustration, boredom and loneliness while becoming more fulfilled and happy!  By helping them start their own online businesses, they can get their identity back, boost their self esteem and once again be financially independent!
