there will be waves

as with anything you start, it is bumpy. you are up and down emotionally, your kids miss you, your spouse wants a moment of silence.

it is hard. i hear you. am living it everyday.

you have "the talk" , that you are going to make life better, easier, in the moment, though there is a hurdle. the hurdle is, time away from your family.

make sure you schedule time for your family, though i will tell you, it will never be enough, and for now, that has to be okay.

just keep lovin on them and know in the back of your head that you will have one more day, two more days, three more days-soon enough.

let's support each other, make sure that our spouses are heard.

love you,

sarah

making the choice

how many times have you heard from yourself, someone who lives with you, a team member, or maybe you overheard a conversation on the bus, i just cannot seem to move up.

we all get frustrated. we put incredible pressure on ourselves. there might be some from a manager or broker or spouse saying to make more, be more and do more.

so we need some direction. (this is preferably before there is a meltdown).we don't have to continue doing the same thing. you just have to be willing to change.

they say, if nothing changes, nothing changes. if you are not willing to do something different, this is as good as it's ever going to get.

IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU?

i had a history of ideas teacher, sherman merrill, in college. hardest teacher i had ever had, smart man, amazing lecturer. he bred american bulldogs too.
he told us upfront. one of you will get an A, two will get a B, three will get a C and the rest will fail. (there were 50 of us in his class) (it was required)
(i took the class three times) enough said.
i remember taking a test up to him that i knew i did badly on and i was trying not to cry and he turned to me and "without pain there is no growth"

to this day i hear him when a journey is starting.
at different points in your life different things will get cast aside to be picked up later-acquaintances, laundry, making dinner, spending as much time with your spouse or kids. this is short lived, i promise. I PROMISE.
i sense that at that moment when all hell is going to break loose you get it, a light bulb goes off, a new client says yes, or you get the paycheck you wrote God for. (http://www.deargodletter.com)(do/ IT)

in websters the definition of consistency is: agreement or harmony of parts or features to one another or a whole.

okay.

my definition of consistency is pick a thing-ie method, plan, etc-and do it OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. then again and again and again.

it will run the gamut of fabulous, fun, boring, tedious, exhausting, etc (you get the picture).
this is really important. you are cruising along and doing your consistent work and sixteen days in you say, "wow this is going well, i think i will take a break"
think again ......

it's a 90 day cycle. six weeks to make or break a habit, and 90 to see the results actually working for you. do it for 90 days, then start over. think about warren buffet, he did not get to be "warren buffet" without consistency.
i love you

ok, i am listening!!!

well, i feel i am on to something!
this marketing is working.


i realize it has been out there, so simple, though the same things were being said over and over so one thinks they are on their own path and maybe we can all update or add to it.
this is so much more fun!
put the information out there and let people absorb it, then they will come to you when they are ready,
not on your time frame.

this is something i want for everyone to know, it can work for any business you want to skyrocket. so simple and i feel like it isn't being talked about. getting on the phone and talking to people i don't and then asking then for things they may or may not need is not my gig.

put the information out there in a way that is comfortable for you. then check in with people. find out what is in the front of their brains, they'll tell you exactly who and where they are.
the key, i feel is being the 1st card in their mental rolodex. you become the "go-to" person for anything.
remember, what you put out there is what you will receive.


the part i love the most is that i am getting loved on. it is what i thought i would be doing and just the opposite is happening.


love people for exactly where they are.

i love you,
sarah

going to bed

love you,

i met the most amazing woman

i get it, i am easily amazed by people, places and sometimes things.

judy feldhausen is really special. totally normal, easy-going, not hippy-drippy or new agey, just down to earth.

i would say she is a leader coach. she uses a little known short lister nobel peace prize guy's assessment that is based on quantum physics (yes math). he was up for the npp in 1972 and he died in 1974. she and her friends found it and brought it back from the depths.

this assessment helps her understand where you are and what you need to tweak.
you can do it online www.mastermind4leaders.com .

i have put out the word to have a group conference call of 5 or more. the cost comes down for the 14 week coaching and 2 assessments. for myself, i am ready to stop running my life, work and family like an adventure race-bull in a china shop. I WANT EASE AND GRACE.


would love to start in 2 weeks, let me know if you are interested in starting with our group.

love you,
sarah
