$4,800 Breakthrough

I met a friend for coffee recently and early on in our conversation, she shared that she was at a crossroads in her business. On one hand, she loved what she did and wanted it to work, but on the other hand, she felt as though she’d been facing an uphill battle for too long and was no longer sure if she should keep fighting.?

Her solution? Join a $4,800 one day- yes, one day- retreat where she would hopefully get her breakthrough.?

And while this may sound like a crazy idea to a lot of people, I think it could be just the thing she needs. I don’t know what all goes down at these retreats but what I do know is that when you invest in yourself, have deep and meaningful conversations with others, engage in self care, and take risks, breakthroughs happen.?

Do you have to spend $4,800 to get your breakthrough? Ummmm, no.

Personally, I’ve experienced my own breakthroughs by doing a number of things, including group coaching, reading, workshops, courses, fasting, spending time in solitude, etc. All of these things have helped me achieve clarity about my direction in life and have been so helpful over time.?

Did you catch that??

Over time.?

And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with gaining clarity over time. It’s a process- a journey. In fact, I feel like I’ve experienced a series of breakthrough moments over many years of learning, growing, doing, and becoming.??

Sometimes, however, we find ourselves in a loooooong drawn out season of trying to figure things out without much change and then we decide it’s time for massive action, whatever that may be.?

For my friend, it was a $4,800 one day retreat. Get.It.Girl.

Expensive? Yes. But you know what? Sometimes, the cost of inaction is more expensive than the cost of action.??

By not doing something drastic or different, what could that be costing you??

You know the saying, nothing changes if nothing changes.?

What have you done to achieve breakthrough in your life?
