Four years ago, I started a journey to answer a simple question:
Can you be successful doing something you love?
My heart and my body say the answer is yes. I don’t even have to think about it. I KNOW.
The Matrix has told me all my life it’s not possible.
Who is right?
I discovered that I am right. And I discovered that the Matrix is right.
Each of us has come with a unique set of gifts and abilities we can use to add value to the world.
If we can identify those gifts, understand those gifts and focus those gifts in a strategic way, as the solution to someone’s problem, then magic can happen.
That is what opens the door to doing what you love and prospering.
It comes down to your understanding of HOW to do this, of your willingness to take action, and the power of your belief in whether or not it is possible. Not possible for someone else…possible for YOU.
It sounds simple, doesn’t it? My experience over the past few years has shown it probably could be…except for the fact that we’ve all been brainwashed in several areas that can make things a little bumpy.
The Matrix does its best to completely disconnect you from a deep understanding of your gifts and how to use them to prosper.
It tells you that you are here to work and be miserable like every other unimportant cog in the machine.
It uses school as a weapon to mold the use of a human’s imagination so that only certain things are believed to be possible. “You sure CAN get an ‘A’ in physics, Johnny…if you work really hard!”
But the worst part is that it limits your understanding of the possibilities for transforming your gifts into prosperity by giving you a pre-selected set of options to choose from. “What do you want to be when you grow up? A lawyer, a doctor, a firefighter?”
No one in the Matrix ever says, “or you could just be YOU!”
Doing what you love and prospering is possible. I live it. Is it easy? No! Are there ups and downs? YES! Can the “ups” be really high and the “downs” be really low? Of course.
But there’s a difference between walking YOUR path and walking a path someone else designed for you.
The difference is that, by walking YOUR path, you wake up each day with a powerful energy that pushes you forward towards your destiny. There is no better feeling. My wife would probably say that surfing is a better feeling, but that’s an addiction for which we are seeking treatment. 🙂
I made a course outlining the Do What You Love and Prosper process for people. And I’m in the process of writing a book. I talk about these often.
Two months ago, I sent out an invitation for a few people to join a six-month offering where I work with you, one-on-one, through the Do What You Love and Prosper process. The stories we create together will be what I draw from for case studies in the book.
I am ready to accept one last group of 4 into this offering. Due to the contribution you’re making to the book, the price is significantly less than my currently available coaching options.
I have no idea if I will send a reminder about this or if the spots will be filled today. What I do know is that when they’re gone, they’re gone. This will give me what I need for the book.
Your answers for how you can succeed in business are already inside of you. They have been there since you took your first breath.
Once you discover how to use them for the good of the world, everything can change.
Can you imagine building a successful business simply by being the REAL YOU?
That’s the destination of the journey I’m on. In my experience, it’s a journey worth taking.
