The Courage to Be Rich

Fear of failure and rejection in addition to being risk averse will block you from giving yourself the gift of financial freedom.

It takes courage to create a business that makes seven figures or more.

Creating a million dollar business is not easy but it can be possible if you utilize the right resources and approaches.

The first step is to create a vision that pulls you forward and aligns with what your heart desires. The initial task should be creating an image of the future that draws you closer and combines with what your heart wants.

It has been said that imagination is more powerful than rational thought, so let's give it a whirl:

Imagine the day you made 7-figures for the first time.

You absolutely woke up feeling like a million bucks.

Your eyes watered and your ears buzzed with excitement as you looked at the numbers on your computer screen.

You said a silent prayer of appreciation and expressed gratitude because you loved your life and business. Now, more than ever before, it was abundantly clear that you had all of this power to grow yourself and your business so that you could serve more people who needed help! And there were plenty of people out there who needed your help too!

Fast forward seven years later. You've been able to 10X your business and help more people in need. You love waking up each morning knowing exactly what the next steps are for yourself and your team as you continue moving forward together towards your collective goals!

How did it all happen? What was the first thing you did to create a 7 figure business?

You gathered the courage to believe in yourself and your ability to support your clients in true transformation. You realized that your success was directly connected to the success of those you served. Meaning, you developed the clarity and confidence to design a business model that honored you and those you're helping to create a profitable business and extraordinary life.

What are you willing to do differently? What about your business model is not working for you, and what would make it more successful?

You desired to generate consistent, dependable monthly income so you chose a business model with high retention and recurring revenue.

You made the decision to replace 1:1 coaching with an online academy and a high end mastermind.

You hired a team and designed collaborative relationships to support your desire for growth and expansion.

You hired a coach to support you with releasing the bad habits and cultivating healthy habits around communication, asking, receiving, promotion, sales, and service.

Do you have the audacity to design a million-dollar business?

Multi-million dollars don't just magically happen. In order to truly support someone in their transformation, your business will require systems.

What systems are needed to run your business smoothly? Systems to address administrative tasks, client attraction systems, client relationship management systems, scheduling systems, content creation systems, sales and conversion systems, distribution systems, customer service, and systems to measure metrics, just to name a few.

Think about how setting up these systems will positively impact you, your team and your clients.

Express gratitude that you can now take a weekend off or a month off and your business still runs smoothly.

Think about the joy of being able to have tie freedom, location freedom, lifestyle freedom and financial freedom.

It is time to take the next step. What do you want?

What are your desires for yourself and your business this year? What kind of revenue would make a difference in how you live, work, and play every day? How big can things get with your help along the way? Who will be impacted by your generosity as you take your business to the next level?

Your answers to these questions will guide you into cultivating the courage needed to step more fully into growth and expansion.

It takes courage to admit that you want to be rich.

It takes courage to develop the mindset, skillset, relationships, systems and offers that are required of a 7 figure business owner.

When I think about the courage required to become captain of your financial empire, I am reminded of the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley:

“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be 

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”
