It’s the icing on the cake!
I signed up for my first Live Dynamite Circle almost a year ago! One of the questions asked in the registration materials was, “Do you need a fresh way of looking at things?” That struck me. I had always been a very positive person with a “can do” attitude. It was then I realized I was in need of a jump-start.
All four of my children were now in school. I had successfully started a business with my husband that he is now running. It was time to figure out what I wanted to do in this next phase of my life. Through this journey not a stone has gone unturned. This has really been a journey of self-discovery. My attitude has been readjusted and I am back on track.
I am filled with gratitude. I see everything, both good and bad, as an opportunity for growth. I am curious when opportunities present themselves. I am taking more risks. I am saying “yes” to things even when I don’t know the outcome. I am throwing ideas out there to see what happens. The results are so liberating. And I am encouraged to do more of the same. I am spiraling up!
After my Circle experience, I joined a Live Dynamite group. It has been a great source of support and accountability. And it has kept my Live Dynamite journey alive. I am surrounded by four people with amazing attitudes, a strong desire to succeed, and a desire to see me succeed, too!
My greatest goal through this process has been to have clarity. Pretty lofty goal I know…but through my journey I have kept asking for clarity. And it is coming! I know I that I needed to value and manage my time better. I am in the process of accomplishing this.
One of my gifts is that I love to listen to people and give feedback and insight. I have always been very curious and gather as much information as I can (I have read every book recommended by Maryanne!) Through the Live Dynamite program I realized that this is something that I enjoy. It’s something I am good at and was naturally doing all the time. The only problem was that I was spending a lot of time doing this–helping individuals and business expand–but never getting paid for it.
I realized that this was something I was passionate about and could build a consulting practice around. I needed to carve out specific blocks of time. I also needed to let people know how much I would be charging….Yikes! I am so happy to share that I have just negotiated my first consulting gig!
The courage, confidence and organization to go for it came from the accountability and feedback I’ve received!
I am forever grateful that I took that first step and signed up for the Live Dynamite Circle and my group experience…it’s been the icing on the cake!
