Epi #78 Stop the Victim Mindset

ReIgnite Your Possibilities

Are you ready to move away from the victim mindset? Too many women find comfort in victimhood. Now I know saying ‘find comfort is a trigger from some of you. However, staying stuck in the past as a victim will not help ladies go where they deeply desire to be.  

It’s hard to put the past back in the past but there are tools and techniques to learn Being stuff in victimhood holds people back from going all-in on their dreams. They believe they can’t achieve their magnificent vision, so they continue to play small. Playing small really serves no one. When in fact that creates an even larger victim footprint. 

Instead commenting to that childhood victim and healing her is the path to take Regardless of how painful that road may be.

I have spent years healing my past and yet the victim still shows up uninvited. Also, with her negative self-talk about what a loser I am. I’ve had to learn how to ignore that voice and instead go to the voice that tells me I’m amazing. How wonderful I am. Yes, it’s my subconscious and I’ve had to work hard to train that talk but I did. Yet it still dips into the negative on occasion. #Subconciousisreal

One of the first steps in learning to quickly close off that negative self-talk. This takes commitment, patience, and a strong desire to reclaim your power. When my clients decide it’s time to own their power it’s because they understand the power of the subconscious and the past. 

Reigniting a new story that better supports the person you want to be, rather than the person you are is a wonderful, scary, fulfilling, hard yet joyful journey. 

Reclaim your power and Reawaken to your Possibilities. 

Epi #77 3 Keys to Build a Successful Business

How to Succeed in Business

There are three keys to building a successful business. Consistency, Discipline, and a Burning Desire. Without these key elements, it can be a challenge. Consistency means meeting your commitments to your customer and yourself.

If you have a podcast and you commit to a weekly broadcast then you have to train yourself to meet that goal. If you have a weekly show in your Facebook group you have to keep that commitment. When you don’t then that negative’ voice starts talking. After one or two flubs it’s easy to just keep saying, it’s just who I am to never complete the task, be successful I’m just a loser. When that voice kicks on most times it wins. So be CONSISTENT and you’ll win.

Discipline is doing things that you don’t want to do at that moment in time. It’s having a plan and taking action on that plan. When you add discipline to the mix success will happen.

Finally, your burning desire to achieve your goals must be what propels your forward. You need to know how the end game looks and keep moving forward towards that goal. When you add these three driving forces to your tool chest success will be yours. Ready? It’s time to take your Confidence to the Next Level and Find Your Blue Rose.

Epi #76 How Do You View Power?

How you view it determines your inner power.

Many years ago when I was in the US Air Force as a medic I learned a lesson that ‘stuck’ to me. Working in the ICU one evening a general’s wife was brought into the unit. She had no reason to be there other than, in my opinion, to hide her. She was severely dehydrated, had sores all over her body and fecal matter impacted in her skin, and weighed 98 pounds. 

She was an alcoholic. No judgment here. But her husband would make fun of her (she told us that while healing) and his poker buddies would throw things at her while she lay on the couch. Of course, at the ripe age of 20, I was indeed judgmental and thought why don’t you stand up to him. Yup, naïve as well.  

Then I got mad. I went to our charge nurse, who was a full bird colonel, one step from becoming a general, and asked him to do something. His response was what??? The general outranked probable all but one person on the whole base. I was shocked. Disappointed but the way the General would parade around demanding to be waited on.   He eventually took his wife home and life went on. 

BUT it haunted me. During that episode, I learned ‘Rank has Privileged.’ Didn’t matter how powerful you thought you were, or are, there is always someone more powerful. If you have trauma in your life, as I do, I walked away with people with authority who can do whatever they want. 

 Until recently I had a lifelong battle with authority and power. An interesting combination when you consider I am a CEO. If someone talked aggressively (at least how I defined aggression) I would fold like a cheap suit. 

I had to reconnect to that memory, recreate a new version with an empowered ending, and reclaim power as I chose to define it.

It continues to amaze me how an event in our lives will be carried for a lifetime. That if left unhealed, I would never have the confidence I have. The life I have. The Business I have.

When you seem stuck and have no idea why…look backward to propel yourself forward.
