If you want something, you have to become totally obsessed with it.

My mind is FULL and my desire is STRONG! 

Over a week ago, I signed up for a course called the Knowledge Broker Blueprint (KBB) and it was a huge investment for me and my family right now. (Read more about that here). 

I have started a deep dive into the content and already I am blown away. This course is exactly what I have needed for years. There is no turning back now, I’m all in and going for it.

The whole first module is about mindset, and the stories (lies!) you tell yourself that keep you from doing the things you want to do. I have notebooks filled with ideas for a business, ways I want to make an impact on those around me, my community and beyond, but I have always been held back by my limiting beliefs. 

Someone else has already done that

I don’t really know what I’m doing, so I probably shouldn’t do it anyway.

So and so is so much farther ahead of me on her journey, I’ll never catch up.

I don’t have enough time/money to do that, etc. etc…

But I had a realization during one of those videos. Tony Robbins was saying,

if you want something you have to become TOTALLY obsessed with it.

You have to immerse yourself in it, live it, and not let anything stand in your way. I feel this, and at first I thought, I can do that. And then, after being reminded by a friend, I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS. 

Remember back in 2018 when I wanted to earn a trip to Hawaii selling Tupperware? Yep, me too. (Some reminders HERE, HERE, and even back to my goals in 2017 HERE.)

I became OBSESSED with earning that trip. I partied 3-4 nights a week, I absorbed marketing knowledge, I recruited, I sent handwritten thank yous to all my customers… I sold Tupperware like it was my job (and it was-ha!) and worked my A$$ off with tunnel vision. And guess what? By the end of 2018, I earned that trip and Dave and I went on an all expense paid trip to Hawaii in March 2019.

It clicked.

If I want to start my own business where I help other women (in business and life) push past the hurdles that are stopping them from their GREATNESS, then I need to start living it and become OBSESSED with it. I need to start telling people. I need to shout it from the rooftops. I need to surround myself (proximity) with people that want to build their own businesses and I need to pick some role models to help guide me through the process. Instead of looking at these women who have gone before me and feel jealous of the lives they have created for themselves, I need to be befriending them, and asking them, how did you do it? And then do what they did, but in my own way. I also need to start DOING IT, with imperfect action.

Here’s to starting before I’m ready, becoming obsessed with my goals, and making a BIG IMPACT!
