MOONSTRUCK;Who's in your way

Loretta was marrying Johnny but was falling in love with his brother Ronny. There were so many obstacles to getting what she truly wanted in the end.

I suggest you take the time to answer them, so you get the most out of today’s topic.

1.???Why do you want to be an influencer?

2.???What topics are you confident in that as an influencer you’d share?

3.???How will being an influencer impact your life?

4.???How will being an influencer impact the lives of others?

5.???What is your biggest obstacle to becoming an influencer?

Let’s start by looking at your answer to question one. There are many reasons to become an influencer. The top two being: you can help more people and you can make more money. Most other answers fall under one of those. It’s okay to have both reasons as drivers, in fact I’d say it’s necessary. With influence brings money and if that doesn’t sit well with you, keep in mind that it actually folds right into the other. More money = more people you can help.

Where are you on number two? Are you clear what you can share with confidence? Is it parenting tips, travel, cooking, shopping, making movies (from whatever classification’s perspective you have), or interior design? Once you’re clear on the top, niche it down even more #MomOfBoys #LuxuryTravel #GlutenFreeCooking #ActingInYourForties #DeisgnOnABudget.

Time to allow yourself to dream. Imagine it’s 1 year from now, and you’re an influencer in your niche. What is the one thing you are most excited to do for yourself? Maybe it’s a big purchase that you decided (maybe just now) that you would buy yourself as a reward when you made a specific amount of money (which with your influence you hit). Perhaps you’re being asked for autographs (trust me it’s a fun and very unusual feeling). A trip you’ve always wanted to take would make a great precedent to set for yourself (and it’s great for “the Gram”).

Now for the juicy one. As an influencer, what is the impact you’re having on other peoples’ lives? Again, from experience, I can share that to change a single life, is so incredibly powerful and rewarding and changing many… well, that’s just the greatest gift possible. You deserve to spend the next year unwrapping that gift, impacting life after life!

Oh, but wait… did it happen? Just as the smile widened on your face, your chest puffed out with pride, and you felt that sense of fulfillment warm your body…it slapped you in the face, like Cher, in Moostruck, saying, “Snap out of it!” You know what I’m talking about. The voice in your head that tells you all the reasons it will never happen.

Get them out of your system now! I asked you your biggest obstacle to becoming an influencer. I want you to list every last one. Go ahead and purge the voices because they’re not real! You decide your future and negative voices in your head don’t get a say.

Is the path clear? You know why you want to influence, your subject matter, how you’ll reward yourself, how you’ll bless others and there is nothing standing in your way!

There were a lot of factors and people influencing Cher's decision but, in the end, she shut out all the voices and pursued her heart’s desire.
