Everybody is Destined to Become Somebody...
The question is, Who are you destined to become? Over the years, I have been blessed to work with great people around the world. They are intelligent, honest and hard-working. BUT, too many of these same people are living painfully average lives, with wild FANTASIES of becoming great... someday.
WHY???
Why are there are so many smart and hardworking people who seem to live in a state of prolonged hesitation?
Here's my observation:
HALF of the problem is fear.
People are afraid of failure, afraid of success, afraid of rejection, afraid of shame, afraid of poverty... afraid of death.
The other half of the problem is that people have been DECEIVED.
People have been told to go to school, get a degree, get a job, get married, save for retirement, lay low and follow the rules.

One Day...
One day, you'll retire. One day, you'll write that book. One day, you'll start your business. One day, you'll be rich. One day, your relationship will be great. One day, your children will respect you. One day, you'll be happy.
One day is really just a safe place to hide out from reality.
There is no date on the calendar called "ONE DAY." So what exactly are you waiting for?

Waiting for Crisis
Although "One Day" will never arrive, Crisis most certainly will come and knock on your front door.
What if your company changes directions and your department is phased out?
What if your landlord sells the property and you're be forced to move?
What if your spouse feels you've grown apart and decides to file for divorce?
What if you or your loved one gets sick and you have to use all of your savings on medical bills?
Or what if nothing bad happens but you want just want to take your family on a real vacation?
What’s going to happen when your child goes off to college, gets married or has a child?
Will you have the money and the freedom to support their progress?
These things are scary to think about but you know as well as I do, that these are common experiences that happen every single day.
There’s no use in sticking your head in the sand.

Act Now
Why wait for fulfillment when you can take advantage of the opportunities all around you right now? Abundance is everywhere!
You have more access to wealth, information and travel than ever before in human history. What ever you dream of doing is possible.
Your reactionary mind will cause you to organize your life around conditions and the behavior of others. You will allow external factors to dictate how you feel, what you think and how you respond.
Your proactive mind is driven by values. Experiences create values. Actions create experiences.
Recognize your responsibility to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
Deliberately choose actions that will enable you to experience more physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual abundance.
These are the experiences you need reinforce your true values.
If you fail to act, you will be acted upon. Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you refuse to move.

Find out what needs to be done and do it
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to change
What's comfortable for someone else might feel very contrived to you. Change should feel good! I can help you create a change management experience that fits your personal style.
You can - and should - know your next step and know you're doing it right. You don't have to be in total control of EVERYTHING for change to feel comfortable.
