In my last post I mentioned The #1 Key to Your Success in 2020 was Self-Development.
And of course I like to role-model so I wanted to let you know that I have spent the whole week participating in an online business growth summit for women entrepreneurs.
That’s right, the whole week.
I blocked out my calendar, had no client sessions, did no admin, and focused on my own personal growth and self-development.
When did you last take time out for you to learn and grow?
It’s been an amazing week so far and I’ve had some fantastic insights and many takeaways to action.
But the BEST thing….
I’ve been Igniting my SPARK to explode my unique potential and live life fully!
One of the 5 Steps to Igniting Your SPARK is to Hone Your Knowledge.
For those of you who’ve read my story, you know that through my own experiences I came to realise that by combining traditional learning with immersive and transformational experiences my learning and growth journey has been accelerated.
And I now have deeper insights that I may not otherwise have had the opportunity to develop.
Insights that will not only help me but all those I serve on their journey of high performance.
There is no end to exercise, it’s a commitment we make on an ongoing basis if we want to keep our physical bodies healthy.
Similarly, there is no end to self-development, it’s a commitment we must make on an ongoing basis if we want to keep our mental and spiritual selves healthy.
One of the ‘catch phrases’ at this week’s summit has been INFORMATION – INSPIRATION – IMPLEMENTATION.
I hope the information below (my Key Learnings from the summit) are useful for you in your own personal and professional life.
I trust this post has inspired you to commit to your own self-development.
And if you truly want to implement changes in your life right now and live a life of full engagement, joy and confidence, I invite you to complete the High Performance Questionnaire and let’s discuss working together to get you started on your growth journey of high performance.
My Key Learnings
Everything is Figureoutable – Marie Forleo
- Nothing in life is that complicated, if you get in there roll up your sleeves and get on with it, everything is figureoutable
- You have the power within you to find an answer, create an answer or transform or transcend any challenge that you face
- Focusing on what you can control is critical to success
- Grit = Perseverance x Passion
- Perseverance i.e. never give up, stick withedness
- Passion i.e. voluntarily obsessed e.g. thinking about how you can better serve all the time
- Talent x Effort = Skill
- Skill x Effort = Achievement
- Interest x Purpose = Passion
- People who aren’t as gritty as they want to be don’t usually lack work ethic, but rather lack interest
Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Busy Moms – Kate Northrup
- No one is going to give us an award for ‘doing’ the most things at the end of life
- Your energy that you bring to your work is your point of attraction, the more joy you have doing what you’re doing the more attractive it becomes, you become so magnetic that customers can’t help themselves from buying your stuff; how we do things really matters not just what we’re doing
- We are enough no matter what we do, we do not need to prove our loveability, our value, or our enoughness through our achievement; the more we can show up as whole and complete and knowing our worth the more value we have to offer for the world
Super Attractor – Gabby Bernstein
- Being a super attractor means your primary intention is to feel good cause when you feel good you’re a magnet for what you want
- Appreciating what you have now raises your energetic vibration that will attract more
- Be unapologetic about feeling good
Fear is Not the Boss of You – Jennifer Allwood
- You can condition yourself to do things afraid, acknowledge the fear and keep going anyway
- Fear keeps us stuck, when you’re stuck you stay small, and when you stay small you can’t influence others, and when you can’t influence others they will stay stuck too
- The magic is in the doing; doing things and figuring it out as you go is the best teacher there is; show up, fail miserably, get up and try again!
Passion to Purpose – Amy McLaren
- When you follow your passion and you’re really true to it, you’re really the best version of yourself; when you are doing something you’re passionate about you “light up” and others can feel it and are attracted to it
- How do you stay motivated and in momentum, particularly when things aren’t going to plan or you’re in a slump?
- Be mindful of how you’re spending your time [your most precious resource]
- Be around people who support and uplift you and understand what you’re going through
- Be in motion, always; carve up your projects into smaller chunks to avoid overwhelm
- Celebrate ALL wins!
- And remember sometimes its okay to walk away
- Your legacy is how you show up every day of your life, the habits that you have, how you show up for the people you serve; you’re already leaving a legacy right now so choose to focus on making it one you’ll be proud of; always be mindful of it
Fix this Next – Mike Michalowicz
- Business Hierarchy of Needs: Sales, Profit, Order, Impact, Legacy
- The biggest challenge that entrepreneurs have is knowing what their biggest challenge is; there are two categories of entrepreneurs (not good or bad): Giving who impact the world in a positive way as they define it and Getting who accumulate wealth, status, prestige
- Business is the greatest platform for self-expression and to be of service; it is a powerful force that when channeled will deliver the most miraculous experiences to you!
Meant for More – Lisa Sasevich
- We all have a feeling and internal knowing that we were meant for more
- Go Forward with Good Enough to get past the need for perfection
- Listen Act Trust Formula
- Listen is feeling that “tap”, hearing that inspiration
- Act is shortening the time between the inspiration and taking action
- Trust the decision you made
It’s Rising Time! What it Really Takes to Reach Your Financial Dreams – Kim Kiyosaki
- Think BIGGER and get clear on your MISSION
- Know you’re smart enough
- Einstein said “Nothing happens until something moves”, whenever you get stuck, or are in confusion, go DO something
- Expand Your Means
- Create freedom for yourself by taking charge of your money and charge of your time
- You’re 100% original if you allow yourself to be
- Let people know what makes you, you
- What are you doing to create memorable moments in your relationships?
