"To make my business work “I can’t afford not to” it keeps me going and moves me forward taking action all the way"Your Graduation Story
I came into EMP 2019 with a lot of hope. I saw the course last year as I had been following Marisa and Live Your Message for a while.
I’ve tried other courses with middling or no success. One thing I learned about those, and it was something Marisa made clear, you have to implement actions at the right stage of your business. I’m a coach and fit best at the call me stage of business. EPM a would be just that for me.
So I began to learn, and put things into action. It felt good and it felt hard. There was a lot of stuff I didn’t know. Marisa has a way of taking complicated things and making them easy for others to understand. Like a trailblazer who beats a path for herself and then encourages others to follow. (Maybe like Indy, taking the leap across the chasm, then throwing stones across the path to show others where to walk).
No only was there stretch goals to reach there was stretch learning. There was so much content. And the content wasn’t just how to stuff (although there was plenty of that). She gave us tools to overcome our fears and resistance. As we entered a new module she gave us just in time trainings to move forward and to conquer our fears.
I didn’t make it to mission accomplished but I have learned and implemented so much. And I’m still moving forward.
I have one thing that really sticks out form the trainings that keeps coming back to me. We were talking about putting things in place to set you up for success or that create space for you to focus. The words ”You can’t afford not to” have stuck with me. If I want it to work, my new business, then there are lots of things I couldn’t afford not to do. That has moved me forward on every occasion.
This week I took the keys of a small office, to allow me to focus, because I couldn’t afford not to!
This week I met with some key people that will give me access to new networks, because I couldn’t afford not to.
This week I bought software I needed to do my work, because I couldn’t afford not to.
Next week I will continue to move forward and take action that will get me to mission accomplished, because I couldn’t afford not to.
I’m excited about the future, I know it’ll be plan c or plan d as I iterate my way to awesome.
Thanks Live your message team. It’s been a while ride and I feel like I’m just going to go climb back in and keep riding until I get there
