Is It Time For You To Get What You Want?

As I travel around to different events and speak to clients and colleagues alike, there are some core questions that keep coming up.

And it boils down to two things.

For those who are already at the top of their profession or well on their way, there seems to be a lot of unrest around how their success looks. They’re feeling an emptiness and a sense of being unfulfilled by the success they thought would be the key to their happiness.

One woman I talked to about this said she doesn’t want to talk openly about these feelings because it will make her look ungrateful for all the financial success she’s achieved.  And yet, that alone isn’t enough to make her happy.

She bought a bigger house, new car, she’s taken more trips and thrown more parties.  And still at the end of the day, she wonders if there shouldn’t be something more? She also wonders if she’s done something wrong that she missed the key to her happiness.

For those on the other side of the fence, on their way to building a business, there’s a huge sense of overwhelm and too many disconnected tasks with no idea where all of them are really going or how it all fits together to become a successful business and a happy life.

I talked to someone this weekend that’s in this place. She’s totally overwhelmed and has so many home study programs there just aren’t enough hours in the week to go through all of them. She’s beginning to wonder if what she’s looking for is in one of those programs and she just hasn’t gotten to that piece yet or if she has to go through all of them and figure out how they work together.

I’ve certainly been there! Have you?

That place of overwhelm is probably something you’ve felt at different stages of your business.  It may even be a place you frequently find yourself in when it comes to your personal life as well.

The worst part is, these are the same issues I’ve been hearing since the day I started in this business!

Then another friend of mine mentioned something that Stephen Covey says about making sure when you climb the ladder of success that the ladder is up against the right wall!

Well, that’s a whole different story.  But it reminds me of why I created my very first teleseminar series way back when.  I did a 6 week course called, “How to Create a Vision for Your Life”. It came after a conversation I had with a really successful speaker who asked me how he would know for sure if what he was doing was really his life purpose-his passion.

I was totally taken aback.  He looked like he had everything going for him in the way of outward success, and yet he was confused and unsure of his path.  He didn’t really have any excitement around what he was doing anymore, he was just making money.  And he was bored.

I couldn’t get that conversation out of my head, and I thought about all the people who were overwhelmed and the others that have the feeling of emptiness after getting to the top. And I  realized they were all dealing with the same issues.  They were just showing up as different symptoms based on where they were in their lives.

So, if you find yourself in any of these situations, it’s not your fault. You may think you are doing everything right, but if you don’t have the correct system to follow, you will never end up where you want to go. At best you’ll climb all the way to the top of your ladder and find out you put it up against the wrong building to start with!

Every day I see people buying one more tactic, the next magic bullet. They don’t work if you don’t have a clear end to end system that you are applying them in. You can spend all your time learning new pieces, but if don’t have a vision of the whole puzzle, you don’t know where they go.

And you can do all the law of attraction stuff until the cows come home but if you don’t have clarity around it, it won’t manifest.

Clarity is the key. Knowing who you are and what you want your life to look puts you in a position where you can create a business thats sole purpose is to facilitate your lifestyle and contribute to your happiness. And I’m talking about soul fulfillment-not just having a fun day.

Your business is a tool to be used to bring you peace and fulfillment.  It shouldn’t be anchor around your neck that dictates how you spend your time.

Is it time for you to start looking at your business from a different perspective? For 99% of the people reading this, I would say yes. You see if it’s true for you.

I feel for you because I know it’s not easy without the right person showing you the way. I wandered around for a long time myself, looking for the right kind of help.

When it comes to discovering your passion, there are books and courses and workshops you can go to. From there you may be able to figure out what your life purpose is.  But as you start to get to the part about turning that into a business, there are few people who can do it well without a coach or mentor.

And when it comes to really creating a blueprint for the life of your dreams that is a step-by-step plan of how you can make it a reality, you need help.  I know this because if it’s what you really want and you don’t live like that now, it’s because you don’t know how to get there.

And that is what I do so easily, I see it so clearly when I talk to people. All it takes is for you to believe that it’s possible for someone who knows how to do it to help you. That little opening for something new to show up and asking for help can totally transform your life.

Let’s have a conversation-by blog (you can post anonymously). I can’t answer all your individual emails, but I’m here to help, so let me know what you want to talk about in your blog comments.

We can keep this conversation going over the next week as I get ready to spend the holidays on Maui. I’m living the life of my dreams and I want to help you do the same.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts.  Just comment on this post on my blog.

If you would like personal mentoring, send me an email detailing what you would like help with.  As your mentor I hold a bigger vision for you than
you hold for yourself.  When you have faith and a team that believes in you, it gives you courage.  When you don’t have to do it all yourself, all things
are possible for you.  Commit today to go for your dream 100%.

4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life, Awaken Your Soul and Your Business:

In part 1 of this series we talked about the quick fix people are looking for as opposed to taking responsibility for creating your life.

And I asked you…

So where do you start if you are ready to take responsibility for your life and create your future?

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you’ve created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be…

No magic bullet required!

In the next 4 weeks we will discuss each of these areas:

*Introspection and Discovery of Purpose
*Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams
*Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills
*Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business

First I’d like to have you go back and look at how you reacted to the assignment I gave you at the end of part 1. You remember, the four lines I asked you to read out loud and then look at what your reaction told you about yourself.

I’m making the assumption that you’ve at least taken one simple action towards creating your life by doing this. So how did that go for you?

What came up?

Your body reacts to your thoughts and feelings, situations real or imagined, all the time but most of the time we aren’t aware of it, or you’ll look for a pill or a drink to cover the reaction.

Why do you think people refer to your ‘gut’ reaction?

When your stomach gets butterflies or starts swirling do you reach for an antacid or do you go inside and ask yourself what’s really happening here?

Because now, in part two of this series, we’re talking about Introspection and Discovering Your Purpose.

Introspection does not require hours of meditation or trekking to Tibet. You can start very simply by just listening to what your body is telling you.

For example:
When you notice your body having a reaction, take a minute and see what was just happening that you are reacting to. Was it a phone call, an email, a conversation, or seeing something you don’t want to do coming up next on your calendar?

Or was it a daydream, a thought of fear or doubt that isn’t even real?

First you have to know what is driving your life now before you can make a shift that will move you in the direction you want to go. Why randomly make changes in your life if you don’t know where you’re actually at or what your truly want?

It’s like shooting arrows at a target while someone is spinning you around instead of planting your body, taking a proper stance and aiming at your target. That would be silly, wouldn’t it? And yet you’re basically doing the same thing every day if you haven’t created your first blueprint of Introspection and Discovery of Purpose.

So how do you get started figuring out what your purpose is?

These are criteria that I use to qualify every opportunity that comes up in my life. I believe they will serve you as well as they have served my clients in the last several years.

7 Criteria for Recognizing Your Passion and Purpose

1. Doing it makes you feel good about yourself

2. You would do it for free

3. You loose all track of time when you do it

4. You love to talk about it to everyone

5. You are happy to teach others

6. If this were how you spent all your time, it would be a good thing.

7. It makes you want to get out of bed in the morning

If you are truly living your purpose and doing what you are meant to do n this life, you will easily be ale to say yes to all 7 of these criteria. And just as importantly, you will be able to confidently say no to any pportunity that doesn’t rate a resounding yes. And I mean all 7, every time.

If you say yes to 6, but 1 of these criteria is a no or a maybe for you, hen say no to whatever it is. It’s not worth your time and effort to do nything that isn’t a perfect fit for you. You don’t want to be coming from place of lack and grabbing on to something that isn’t meant for you.

I can hear all the “yes, but..” now. It doesn’t matter how good the opportunity could make you look or how much money it could bring or what your friends will say if you don’t do it. Just say no. Your life will start working on such a higher level as soon as you really embrace this concept of saying no to the good to say yes to the great.

That’s the first step to creating your life and creating the first blueprint.

You must have a place that you confidently stand in your life. Your own personal line in the sand. And only you know what that is. I can’t give it to you and neither can anyone else.

Another good tool I would suggest you use is creating your own personal manifesto. If you haven’t done that, you can go to http://LynnPierce.com and sign up for this ezine, and you’ll get an email with a special report on how to create your personal manifesto as my gift to you. I take you step by step through how to create it and how to use it. It’s a powerful tool.

To be living your blueprint of introspection and purpose you have to be in a place of abundance in terms of confidently saying no to an opportunity that say be a good one to have the space available in your life to welcome a great one.

Does that make sense?

Too often whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a dream; you’re limiting your own ability to live your purpose by fearfully holding on to things in your life that, upon introspection, you would realize are not serving you at the highest level.

The law of attraction is not the only Universal law. One that has always been a very important one in my life is the law of creating a vacuum. Nothing new and great can come into your life unless a space has been created for it to occupy.

If all the available space in your life is filled with things that are less than perfect for you, there is no room for anything better to show up.

So you can use the law of attraction and sit and wait, or you can beg and plead,
or you can stand on your head, but you will not get your desired end result.

Until you let go and know that the Universe will bring into your life exactly what yyu need to fulfill your purpose, you’ll have no space available for it come into your life.

Have you ever been in a bad relationship and wished for a better person to come into your life, but you wouldn’t break up with the first person because you were afraid you’d be alone?

How did that work out for you? Eventually, if you suffer enough and the pain becomes great enough you’ll make the leap and leave. Then, lo and behold, someone else shows up.

That’s the way it works in every area of your life. You can always take the slow and painful route and wait to be so miserable that you make a change out of desperation or you can choose now to actively listen to your body when you have a ‘gut reaction’ and begin to create blueprint #1: Introspection and Discovery of Purpose using the tools you’ve learned here.

Next week we’ll move on to my favorite part, Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams.

So get to work right now on discovering your purpose and creating your personal manifesto so you’ll be standing in a place of knowing who you are, where you’re starting from and where you want to go so we can begin to create that life for you next week!

Until then, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.
