I’ll admit, I’ve outgrown a lot of my friends (and if you are reading this, no it’s not you. Or maybe it is).

I listened to a video the other day that talked about when you are hanging out with a group of 5 millionaires, you will be the 6th.

And I want to hang out with a group of millionaires because I have every intention of being one. You know, it’s one of those New Year’s resolutions I made right up next to “Rule the world”. So I am doing everything that I can to get those people into my circles, or get myself into their circles.

And I am willing to make the investment. I may not have shared this before but I have my eye on a mastermind called the Millionaire Alliance that is run by Russ Ruffino’s Clients on Demand that get its members up to 1 million dollars in annual revenue. Mark my words I will be there for their next mastermind retreat in August 2018.

And it’s not cheap. It will cost me multiple five figures, in dollars. And that’s the price I am willing to pay. It was actually my birthday wish this year and my wonderful husband is 100% behind me for it.

And it got me to thinking. I have done a lot of courses these past 2 years since I started my online entrepreneurship journey.

Some of them were free, some of them were paid. A lot of them took time and effort. Very few of them actually got me results. And to be honest, it was not entirely the programs faults’. Sure, they were using outdated strategies that don’t really scale and that I couldn’t really use as a complete nobody coming onto the scene. But the other reason I failed miserably at most of them was, I put in the work pretty half-heartedly.

But the programs that REALLY redeemed themselves had one common denominator, accountability! And that made the difference between whether I put in the work, or just did it “meh”.

And when I found one that ACTUALLY got people results, provided accountability  and gave a nobody like me a stepping stone to the big leagues, I was like, where do I sign up!

But it has meant letting go of the things, the activities, the people that are not helping me or getting me closer to my goal.

For the first time in AGES, I am finally exercising consistently, working on purpose, avoiding distractions, (I am writing thing during a 45-minutes uninterrupted DEEP WORK session, did I even know what that meant this time last year?). I am building a team I LOVE, that inspires me every day. I am motivating people around me and knowing that it’s because of ME, and not bashfully redirecting the attention. You need to understand my back story as one where I’ve never felt like I really DESERVE the limelight. And now I am at a place where it doesn’t matter anymore whether I feel like I deserve it or not. And now I do feel it, because I finally GET that it’s not about me. It’s ALL about the ones that I am here on earth to serve and to inspire.

It’s because of the work that I have put into myself that I am finally able and willing to accept that, yes, I CAN, I DO and I WILL motivate those who are seeking them same goal in their lives.

But that has not come cheap. And I am guarding it fearlessly.

The other day I told my husband, ‘I think I may not have been invited to a birthday party by some unnamed friend’. Because everyone I knew seemed to be going to this “thing” that they wouldn’t say was by who.

And before, that would have broken my heart, put me in a slump for days (okay maybe hours, tops, I’m not that touchy feely) and really had me going around like “Woe is me”.

And then, in the moment that I said it, I realised, ‘Hold up. WHY am I unhappy about this?” Because this “friend” may just have done me a favour by being one less person that I needed to drop off on the way to my dreams.

I’m done needing everyone to like me. I’m done needing everyone to approve of what I do. I’m done needing to be the most popular gal in school (coz you know if you weren’t you always fantasized about being that person, be honest).

I’m instead aiming for the feeling of “sweet, delicious, wild” success that is coming my way. And when it hits, that’s when I will know the TRUE friends.

I hope that will inspire you to stop making excuses for your success, your drive, your grit, your determination.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  – Marianne Williamson
