Whatever you're thinking about doing...

Welcome to the Storybook

Each week, I share… ✍️

• a definition 🤓

• a quick story 📖

• a mindset shift 🤯

• an opportunity list 💡

When you’re passionate about your skills, industry, or something you feel will bring value to others, the opportunity to do it at a high level consumes you.

You want to do it right and you want to do it well.

It becomes a piece of who you are.

It builds character.

It sparks energy.

It brings ideas.

I launched my first business in 2017, a 👉 Journey Payroll Franchise in PHX, serving small businesses.

It aligned with my dreams of owning my own company and bringing value to the industry I was very well versed in.

To do it with the opportunity of controlling my own destiny through entrepreneurship.

The jump into the entrepreneurial pond, however…

…didn’t come without a certain level of FEAR.

What if I lost everything?

What if I let people down and failed?

What if I wasn’t a great leader for my future team?

What if I was perceived negatively in the marketplace?

In the end, I let this FEAR…

FUEL ME.

There was no plan B and I was motivated by that.

One of my favorite Tony Robbins quotes has always stuck with me…

“You’re never out of resources, it’s your lack of resourcefulness that stops you.”

We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, scares, and made moves to keep us going along the way.

I’ve always been able to figure it out when times were tough.

I’ve always had the work ethic and patience to get through it.

In my mind, it was always going to work…

…some how…

…some way…

…because I refused to let that FEAR stop me.

🤯 THE MINDSET SHIFT 🤯

If you let it…

FEAR stops you from taking risks.

FEAR stops you from achieving your dreams.

FEAR stops you from making a positive impact on others.

FEAR stops you from leaving behind a legacy you can be proud of.

FEAR causes cloudy vision and you’ll get discouraged.

Instead, leverage that FEAR for the motivation you need to go for it.

Get out of your comfort zone and believe in yourself.

• If you want to start a new business, start.

• If you want to achieve a new health goal, do it.

• If you want to develop a new relationship, shoot your shot.

Develop a plan for action, make a commitment to yourself, and good things will happen.

Whatever you’re thinking about doing…

…don’t let FEAR stop you..
