Lack Of Time And Money Got You Feeling Trapped?
~ by Tera Warner
Good Morning, Sunshine!
I was having a conversation with one of our coaches the other day, and we were talking about the fact that the biggest reason most people don’t take the plunge and come to a live event, or make a significant investment in a program that could completely change and improve their lives usually comes down to two things:
1. Not enough time.
2. Not enough money.
It’s not an uncommon situation to be in. So what’s a woman to do?
The Trap of Time and Money
I think it bears repeating that I’m a single, self-employed, homeschooling mom.
I think it also bears repeating that not so many years ago, I was walking the streets of Montreal homeless and jobless. [tweet_dis]I lost everything–my home, my business, custody of my children and my right to walk in the street. [/tweet_dis](I was hospitalized after a severe illness while living in the tropics.)
The really cool thing about losing everything is realizing the only thing that really matters is the one thing you can never lose–your belief in yourself and your willingness to dream.
How I Make Time and Money
Over the last 9 years, while building a business from the ground up and growing two amazing kids on the side, I have always maintained a significant investment in my personal study and growth. (Sometimes as much as 20 hours a week!!)
The only way I was ever able to create the time and money I needed in my life was because I chose from the beginning to prioritize spending a lot of time and money on myself!
I don’t mean more shoes and shinier lip gloss. I mean ME–the firecracker of life and enthusiasm looking to learn more, understand more, express myself authentically in life and live my dreams!
Sometimes it was scary. Even when I didn’t feel I had time or money, I would go anyway. Invariably, I would walk out of study, or come back from a trip and the time and money would have sorted themselves out. I had a new perspective–a great idea, a more positive outlook on life and I felt more alive.
That “aliveness” was the thing that built my business and allowed me to create the life I have now. It was never time or money, but ME and my willingness to dream and do the things I believed in and most wanted to experience.
How to Design Your Life, Then Live It
We get a lot of interest in our Virtual Lifestyle Design Retreat,
and with good reason.
It’s an incredible experience for a small group of women who are ready to rocket launch their lives to a whole new level. And many women have.
Our next one is coming up in just a few days so if you’re thinking about joining, don’t hesitate. It is filling fast.
If you feel like this is something you’d love to do, now or at some time in the future, then start to steer your heart in the direction of your dreams and watch what happens. Apply. Take the first step. Don’t stop yourself before you’ve even started with all the “reasons” why you “can’t” “shouldn’t” “couldn’t.”
Whether it’s a retreat, a program, a love letter you’re yearning to write to someone you barely know, just DO IT! [tweet_dis]Take the first step, the first breath, in the direction you want to go and see how good you start to feel.[/tweet_dis]
Life and time and money will move in your favor when your certainty and confidence strengthen and assert themselves.
The only barriers you have in life are the ones you put there to keep the game interesting. So whatever it is you long to do, experience, explore, acquire…
…you’re going to feel more alive as you start to allow yourself to experience it.
Get back to your wide-open heart, feel the vast freedom of believing in your dreams. No matter how much time or money you have, freedom, happiness, confidence, certainty, courage and wisdom don’t come with a price tag or run on a clock.
Go show Life who’s boss!
Love without limits,
Tera
