What I’m gonna share could be considered a tool for creating success, yet it also feels like a philosophy to me. Why don’t you watch this video by Marie Forleo and decide for yourself.
I discovered Marie, who has had a very diverse career, while skimming my yahoo reader. You know, how much I struggle with titling things ( I think Play Nice: Work Well in Groups without Killing Yourself or Others! might be my breakthrough title!). So when I come across a good one, one that wraps itself around my brain and yanks, I pay attention. The title:
Gotcha!
Of course, I went to Marie’s site and watched the video. It’s terrifically motivating, especially if you’re feeling like me. A little weary from consistently working hard on your dreams. I’m working on my dream. It’s a little hard to put into words, which is pretty ironic since words are my living. Maybe you’ll understand what I mean and tell me. LOL
I want you to experience the confidence and generosity I feel because I’m fearless. I figured out a skill-set and a way of being in the world that’s like a safety net. Poop happens. Being fearless lets me clean it up. My business dream is to bring that joyous feeling, those wonderful skills to women business owners. Positively Wed is my platform to share that knowledge with you.
Of course, there are days when it feels like the dream is working me! With obstacles and frustrations, it’s easy to be discouraged. (You might be feeling the same) But watching Marie’s short video put a new spin on things. She challenged me to realize that can’t really means won’t. When I say I can’t do something it really means I won’t do what’s necessary to attain that. I don’t know about you but that puts things in an entirely new light for me.
Watch the video. She has a great presentation, although I’m not totally familiar with her work. Personally, I’m gonna start keeping a ‘can’t list’ of the things I say I won’t do. Should be a short list- my friends will tell you I’m a ‘can-do’ gal. No doubt something interesting will come out of it. I’d be curious to hear what’s on your list, too.
