Upside Leaders Stay the Course

Sometimes I’m surprised at the path I’m on and how I got here.
?
I started out in 2005 with the vision of working for myself because I thought I’d be a great boss to have. LOL.
Truth is that while I had a vision, it wasn’t so grand. It didn’t include how it’s unfolded: teaching leaders from all over the world and in over 30 industries.

~ Banking institutions
~ Mortgage firms
~ Construction companies
~ Etc.

When individual leaders started reaching out to me wanting to work with me one-on-one, I didn’t have any coaching credentials.
?
I didn’t have a business degree or a background in corporate America.
?
What I had was RESULTS – and that’s what people wanted me to show them how to create.
?
It wasn't about P&L reports, client attraction or the next promotion, although my strategic plans would and still do include that.
?
It’s always been about how to get RESULTS so they could run their business/career and live their life's purpose.... without LOSING a PIECE of their SOUL along the way.?

?
It was almost by accident that I started individually coaching leaders.
?
And then one group, then two groups, then three group coaching programs, then private retreats, and VIP days.

My three-day Upside Summit was initially created to bring my vast network together which has developed into my billion-dollar database of friends with business benefits.
What I've learned...
?
1) Listen to YOUR inner guides.
?Whatever you call it, YOU get internal messages.
?We all do.
?I've honed my intuition and can hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit. In moments of QUIET I ask for guidance all day long, every day.
?Then I take action.
Step by step, this is the process towards the bigger general vision I have about showing people how to have a life of results without losing piece of themselves along the way.
It's my No-Plan Plan – using my Divine Operating System ...and how I ended up with this business.
?
2) Make PEOPLE a PRIORITY.
Connect with others as often as possible.
?You weren't meant to figure life out by yourself.
?You aren't wired to do your life alone.
?And you can't access or leverage a network you haven't built on a strong foundation of individual relationships.
I answer calls and texts from dawn until evening not only from clients, also from leaders who need me to lend them an ear or a shoulder to lean on.
And I reach out to my Inner Circle often for the same…
I vulnerably share ALL aspects of my journey, not only about work or business. This deep interconnectedness has allowed for massive growth personally and professionally.
?
3) Stay YOUR course.
Don't get distracted and taken off mission by comparing yourself to others.
Understand who you are, what you want and why it matters.
You do you.
When my colleagues were doing webinars and streaming and had complicated systems -- things that looked cool -- I did what made sense to me and for me.
17 years later many of them have gone bankrupt financially, physically, or emotionally... Or are burned out, stagnant, or out of business.
And I’m still here, stronger than ever.
?
Regardless of the twist and turns along the way,?
LISTEN to your guides, make people a PRIORITY, and STAY YOUR COURSE.
?
ACTION:?The Upside Challenge of the week is...
1) stop comparing yourself to others.
2) Take note of “how and where you are today.”
3) This week practice the following:
