Only You Know What Is Possible For You

Only You Know What Is Possible For You

At first, everyone asks WHY you’re doing it. Later they’re all asking HOW you did it.

Here’s how I did it:

When I got fired at 43 years old, I decided to shine a light on it.

I decided to reframe getting fired as In Good Company!

I researched successful people who had been fired and found a big list that included:

J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs and Mark Cuban to name a few.

Then I posted about it:

"After 14 years of continuous advancement, I have just been fired. If I have ever done anything to help you, I would love to hear from you now."

That post went viral and Froggy from the Elvis Duran show tweeted at me, "How can I help?"

One thing I learned is that when people offer to help you, convert that opportunity in the moment. I tweeted back, "Book me on the show" and he did.

I didn't know what we would talk about but I knew I would reach a larger audience which would help me expand my network.

Halfway through the show Elvis said to me, "Obviously you are writing a book!"

I smiled and agreed. The funny thing is I wasn't writing a book until Elvis told me I was. In that moment he passed his belief in me to me and I ran with it.

I had no idea how to write a book so I googled it. Turns out the key is just to sit down and write.

Listen to you and your ideas over everything. Believe whole heartedly in them. If you don’t, why would anyone else?

Understand feeling scared is a good thing. Accepting this will allow fear to pass.

Change represents a loss of some kind and letting go of familiar is exactly the loss that you need. You must let go of mediocre if you want to grab great.

Protect your ideas early on when they are the most vulnerable. I didn’t tell anyone I was writing my first book Confidence Creator until I was done.

Very motivating. ? I’ve been thinking about writing a book. Part of me thinks everyone should write a book. I already have a tentative title. Curious if you think about your target audience when you start writing ??
