Worst-Case Scenarios & Why I Have No Plan ‘B’

by

0001-5438308

Throughout my life I learned early on that if I could plan for the ‘worst-case scenario’ then I would be fully prepared for anything.  If something better happened, I would be delighted, but if the worst case actually occurred, well then I would have a plan of action.  Or in the least, I wouldn’t be disappointed.

It worked for a while (and by ‘worked’ I mean life went on and I didn’t question my thoughts too much).

Looking back now, I realize by planning for the worst case scenario, I actually created it.

I’ll give you an example.

Several years ago I was planning a big move for love (I’m such a romantic and lucky for me it worked out because we are now happily married).  Being the planner that I was, I didn’t want to move to a new place without a job lined up especially since I was moving 300+ miles away from home and I had no idea what the employment situation was like.

For months I searched from afar and got little to no feedback.  I was discouraged and distraught until I finally decided to move anyway.  I decided that if I couldn’t find a job right away, my worst-case scenario was that I would simply get a job at Starbucks.

I repeated those same words over and over again to my friends and family members.

“Oh it’s fine. Worst-case scenario I’ll just get a job at Starbucks.”

(You know where this is going right?)

While it wasn’t an absolutely terrible worst case situation, I manifested it exactly.

After a month or so of applying with no luck, I got a job at Starbucks.

Depending on how you look at it you can view this as an incredible manifestation.  I fully believed that if all else failed, I would just work at Starbucks…which I did for 6 months.

What’s my point?

Planning for worst-case scenarios have the power to actually create the situation you ‘planned’ for.  But do you really want to create a ‘worst case’?

I have learned from that very clear example of my manifestation abilities and no longer plan for those types of situations.

At this stage in my life and business, it means having no Plan B.

There is no ‘worst case scenario’ or alternate plan if my business doesn’t work.  It’s not even a thought in my mind because I know that by planning for it, I am giving my very specific and creative power to something I don’t want.

My plan is to succeed and have my business continue to flourish and thrive.  That’s my plan…all of it.

So, the thoughts of getting a ‘real job’ are no more because that isn’t an option.  The ONLY option is my business and you know why?  It’s because it is what I am meant to do.

Sure it’s risky.  It’s scary at times. It’s a bit outside the box. Hell, it’s unpredictable more often than not and I am still learning a ton about myself and my business as I go.

BUT

It’s also freeing, fantastic, and the best thing I have ever done…aside from moving for love.  Every day I wake up with a purpose.  I love my work. I love my clients. And I love the freedom that this journey provides for me.

Yep, this is my purpose and my heart-centered gift to share with the world and despite what seemingly difficult roadblocks I encounter, succeeding in my business is the only option. No more Plan B or worst-case scenarios for this girl.

Nope, I’m putting my all into my business and by doing that there is no way I can fail.

Getting Back to Basics

by

I recently realized how I have been distracted by all the shiny new programs, coaches, gurus, and the like lately.  It was a nice reminder to get back to basics in my business.  Today I share with you what that means and invite you to look at your own life to see where you might be able to get back to basics.

Your Heart-Centered-Passionate-Path Needs This To Thrive…

In the last year or so I have had the honor of meeting some truly amazing women with incredible talent yet I see far too many struggling to make their dreams a reality.

With such awesome gifts and healing work that can change the world forever, they are struggling to create thriving businesses.

How can that be?

I have experienced first hand some of these awesome gifts and am blown away at what EFT Tapping, Chakra Healing, Muscle Testing, Reiki, Yoga, and many other healing modalities can do to shift our energy and vibration so we can live happier and healthier lives.  It’s like magic…literally.

So, why the struggle?

The magical abilities and ideas that these women have can literally heal the world.  They can get rid of diseases, help others manifest amazing abundance, and heal a ton of emotional junk that we all experience (and need to heal) and yet actually taking those ideas and putting them into action often feels restrictive and against their very nature.

As a fellow airy-fairy, woo-woo-centric, hippy-dippy, out of the box-thinker, I know how incredible it is to have a dream that is so vivid and colorful that you could stay in your head forever, but I am also blessed with an uncanny ability to put those dreams into action.  Inspired action that is.

The magic happens when we can effectively bring our glorious ideas down from the heavens and implement them in inspired-actionable-steps.  And if you are like many of my clients, I know what you are thinking. “Ugh, actionable steps sounds pretty in the box to me.” or “I just like to go with the flow and see where the tide takes me.”

I get it.  The idea of structure and schedules and dare I say accountability can make us enlightened folks cringe because it goes against all the free-flowing, belief-bustin’, let-me-do-it-my-own-way, nature, but I can promise you two things:

Without action & accountability, your dreams may stay fully alive in your imagination, but that is as far as they go.

AND

You CAN have structure and freedom while creating a thriving life & biz of your dreams.

The key is in following inspired action and creating structure that works for you.

There really isn’t a one size fits all plan on how to make your work come alive and if you have been fighting the good fight against a ‘schedule’ or ‘to do list’ because you want to keep your freedom status, then I invite you to look at freedom a bit differently.

Freedom implies you have a choice or an option to do as you please and when you can create a schedule or structure that works for YOU, you still have the freedom you crave.  And when your business is thriving and soaring to new heights, you are capable of hiring out a ton of work that you don’t enjoy doing, but the choice is still yours.

So get out there and don’t be afraid of creating a bit of free-flowing-structure (that’s totally a thing) and begin following your heart to take inspired action.

The world needs your gifts & it’s up to you to share them.

What’s the #1 thing you have been resisting in your heart-centered biz because it feels too restrictive? Leave it in the comments below and share this post with your friends who could use a nudge to send their gifts out to the world!

If you need a bit of extra help in the structure & accountability department, this is for you.  I have opened up a few spots for my 1-Month Jump Start program for July 2014 that will get you moving in 30 days or less. 4 sessions in 4 weeks = major progress.  This offer expires June 30th so if you want in on this incredibly affordable and powerful opportunity, you can sign up here.
