Where’s the Rabbit?

Have you ever thought about the impossibility of pulling a rabbit out of a hat?

Today I want to talk about something that you do every day in your business, and it’s one of the main reasons why I love working with business owners and entrepreneurs.

This something is called the “impossible” or in the case of the rabbit in the hat trick — magic!

Do you ever think about how you figure out and overcome what seems like impossible situations and yet you continue to find solutions?

Like I said earlier, how do you pull the rabbit out of the hat to find a solution, find a “way around”, find a transformation, or just be creative?

This is the genius that I know that you have in you — the genius that all business owners, entrepreneurs, and CEOs have to have to be successful.

It’s a life skill that nobody else talks about. It seems like magic or impossible, but yet, as you succeed and your business grows and expands, you do this more and more frequently.

So today I just want to say WOW! It’s amazing how you’ve pulled the rabbit out of the hat again, not only yesterday and today, but you’ll do the same thing in the future too! This is really who you are — the creative genius who can make something out of nothing, creating great value, solutions and transformation in the marketplace.

Kudos to you for pulling the rabbit out of the hat today. Tell us your impossible story.

The One Characteristic That Successful Business Owners Have

We’ve learned in coaching over the last several years that there is one common trait that all successful business owners have. Do you want to know what that is?

The trait I’m talking about is OPTIMISM!

Ask yourself these questions and see where you are:

How optimistic are you in the face of fear, doubt, procrastination, uncertainty and then facing that reality?

Can you still be optimistic when you face the reality of a setback? Are you still optimistic when you face the reality of something coming at you that you have no idea how to handle or move forward with? How do you deal with that?

What we see over and over in our clients that are successful and moving forward is they are optimistic even when they don’t have an answer yet.

They’re optimistic:

that it will work out;
that they will figure it out;
that their team will figure it out; and
that they’ll make a way forward no matter what.

So where’s your level of optimism?

Is it a one?

Is it a 10?

Also, what’s fueling your optimism?

What are you doing to purposely daily fuel the optimism about the future?

There may be things in your life that you need to get rid of in your life once you realize it is actually draining your optimism tank.

For example, you need to be aware of what you’re reading, what you’re watching, who you’re spending time with. Are these people or things building up your optimism so that you can deal with the difficulties to come and turn those into great opportunities? Or, is what you are doing pulling you down and draining you?

So that’s the thought for today. You can learn more about us at www.confidencecoach.org or check us out on YouTube.

The Future

We like to take our clients from the very beginning of our relationship and have them focus on the future.

Because we know that all the “Good Stuff” in our life is in the future — this is what we need to focus on in our minds, in our hearts and in our souls.

All of our mistakes, failures, and setbacks are in the past.

So today I want you to focus on what the future is.

What’s positive that’s out in front of you?

What can you do, how can you live, and how can you operate your business when you are focused on the positive in the future?

What is out in front of you and positive is always the best future for you and your business.

Feel free to schedule a free catalytic conversation so we can help you create your best future today.

Thanks for the People that Said We Can’t Do It

Today I want talk about and thank all the people that have told you and me over and over that we can’t do this; that we can’t be successful in our business; that we’ll never make it.

Hopefully you’ve kept a list or have a memory of who those people are.

Quite frankly, I find them inspiring!

When I start to get fatigued or it gets hard or it seems to be taking longer than I think it should for the results that I want to get, I always think back to those people.

I always try to recall their words and the sentiment of them saying this is impossible, you’ll never be able to be anything or do anything or build a business or have success in your life.

And I live off the energy of those people.

I don’t have a lot of them in my life anymore.

I wish I did, but I know you do, so I want you to go back and think about them. Let their disbelief inspire you to dream bigger, to work harder, to put more into yourself, into your business to win bigger in the future. Then let us know about it.

Yes, I say thank you to those people! It’s exciting to see the amount of motivation that they can give us in our life.

Make it a great day.

Shoot for the Stars

Well, we are way into 2019 and I want to talk to you about the goals that you set for 2019 for your business and your personal life. I want to throw a challenge out to you.

Think about your goals that you set for this year. Hopefully you don’t just have them rattling around in your head but you wrote them down either before 2018 ended or at the beginning of 2019.

I want you to do a little re-evaluation on your goals and think about setting them much higher for 2019 than you had first thought about. Why I say this is because of the theory that if we shoot for the stars and we miss them, we still accomplish a pretty amazing thing!

So my challenge for you is to think about your goals. If you have them written down, revise them, set them higher, double them, triple them, 10x times them. And then see what that does for your thinking and creativity. See what that does for your inspiration as you look at 2019 as being the best year in your business, in your personal life, accomplishing more than you have ever accomplished. But in order to do this, you have to stretch yourself out there and reach for the stars and see where you end up.

Where you end up is going to surprise you, and it’s going to make 2019 an amazing year.

Share with us what some of your goals are for 2019!

Make it a great day.
