This week, many of us celebrate the birth of someone who came with a purpose to change the world. He was focused, and determined and had a lasting impact on billions of people.
Here’s the thing… so were you.
You were created with a great purpose and put here to do great things. You have a calling and gifts and were meant to share them with the world and be blessed because of it. You weren’t meant to run a business you hate, to have clients you loathe or to dread Monday to Friday. You were meant to enjoy life. To be energized and fueled by your passion and the fruits of your labor.
You were not created to be mediocre. Or to have a mediocre life. You were made to thrive. To blossom. To flourish.
As this year comes to a close, say goodbye to whatever 2016 was (SEE YA, WOULDN’T WANT TO BE YA!) and create a new path for your future. One that has you achieving the same things you have always dreamed of, but this time, it can and should be easier and more enjoyable. This year it will work. This year you can and you will.
I really get it. I used to work all of the time and yet I was completely broke. And there are a lot more fun ways to be broke than working all of the time. I would work harder and harder and harder and it seemed as though the harder I worked, the more in the hole I went. Always struggling and always yearning for things to get easier.
It wasn’t until I realized that the path I was running on, running so fast and so hard on, was the wrong path. That there was a smoother, flatter, easier path I could run and that one would actually get me to the destination I was looking for. And the other bumpy path never would.
This year, you are going to find your new path. The one that won’t need you to run at full speed all of the time and never hit your desired destination. Stick with me and you will discover an easier way to build your business that will allow you to finally relax a bit, enjoy financial security and the peace and prosperity you have been longing for.
You deserve to have joy. And peace. And prosperity.
And today it starts….
Here’s your first challenge:
Send a note of gratitude to 5 of your top clients today. Do not make it about your success with them, or about future work together. Make it instead a pure thank you that is all about them and asks nothing from you.
Example:
(Name),
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for being our client. It has been an honor to get to know you and your business. (INSERT POSITIVE FACT ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS HERE.)
Have a wonderful holiday!
(Your name)
Doing this will allow you to connect with your best clients in a positive way and put you top of mind again. This is how great referrals happen. Positive experiences and top-of-mind reminders.
Up for the challenge?
Get started with this first step right now.
And then get ready for an amazingly fantastic 2017.
You can and you will.
