3 Things Women Entrepreneurs Need For Awe-Inspiring Success

And to be clear, I am talking about inspiring AWE in yourself. Being in that moment where you sit by yourself and breathe it all in. Mulling over the dreamed up -- and backed up plan -- that you have (finally) FASHIONED into reality. If someone else looks at you with awe, if someone else is inspired by you, great.

But there is NOTHING like sitting in AWE of a chosen reality that you have ACTUALLY created.

Nothing.

I still remember writing out my intentions for my "career" going back even to the days of calling myself an "at home secretary." I didn't know WHAT I wanted to do. But I wanted to get paid to "write or do something on the computer" while my kids were at school. I remember mapping out, dreaming about the days I NOW live...

Writing things into reality is a thing. But without the three things I'm detailing below, no amount of manifesting, vision boarding, chanting, journaling or any other such thing will work. So here goes:

???? AWE inspiring success demands CONFIDENCE.

Confidence in who you are, what you can do and what is POSSIBLE for totally average humans. I've delivered countless keynotes (i.e. sermons) and a couple digital programs on BUILDING confidence, but here is what you must know.

1) Confidence is a muscle, which means it can be built and made stronger by you. You are not born confident or not confident. Sure, childhood experiences can help or hinder confidence, but it can be BUILT, deliberately.

Exercise: Do more of the things that build YOUR confidence. Keep promises to yourself. (Even the small ones that "don't matter." They matter.)

2) Confidence isn't just about you. For it to be SUSTAINED, it MUST be rooted in something BEYOND you.

For me, this is 100% anchored in my faith. I am who I am because I am WHOSE I am. I believe in myself because of who created me. I know that i was fearfully and wonderfully made, KNIT together with care and intention. I know I have a purpose and potential and outrageous possibility.

We may have totally different belief systems. But you have to have self-confidence that is ROOTED in a belief that is bigger than you.

???? AWE inspiring success demands CLARITY.

I am an excellent "shot." I can literally hit any target I can see. BUT if I can't see it... I'm wasting bullets. (And with this analogy taking some major risk! lol..)

But guns aside, when you are running, hustling towards a vague, ambiguous goal, it's NOT UNLIKE the shooting-at-a-target-in-the-dark analogy. It is RISKY, and it is a WASTE.

AWE inspiring success, that inspires AWE in ourselves, demands crystal clear goals.

It demands clarity of vision, of purpose, of destination.

It demands we STOP PLAYING COY with our dreams, it demands an exploration of the edges of our grandest vision, it demands a CLEAR target.

If you feel like you're running on a treadmill in business, hustling hard, doing doing doing but getting nowhere... it's VERY possible you're chasing vague ambiguous goals.

Exercise: Write out 2-3 pages in response to the journal prompt I used this morning: What AUDACIOUS vision am I willing to trust God for?

Or...

What AUDACIOUS vision am I willing to SHAMELESSLY pursuse?

???? AWE inspiring success demands COURAGE.

The courage to risk failure. The courage to TAKE ACTION. The courage to take risks, back yourself and SHOW UP for your goals.

The courage to take the next right step. to keep showing up. to keep swinging the bat. to be PERSISTENT.

The courage to go ALL in, to stop PRETENDING you want some watered down version of your real dream... and admit your TRUEST vision, The courage to STARE your actual goals in the face, the courage to stop playing small.

The courage to SEE players like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey and Presidents and Legends and ADMIT TO YOURSELF that they have the same 24 hours as you, the same humanness as you... and so therefore,

you are slacking...

the courage to kick your own ass.

If you're ready for this... STAY TUNED. Women who WOW, The Revival is coming.
