Do you FAIL FORWARD?

I had some goals that I set for myself and gave myself a deadline to reach.. and guess what.. I FAILED! I did NOT reach them.. 

And I instantly started to feel discouraged, demotivated, a little depressed, and even questioned my abilities. The feeling of FAILURE started to sink in..

But then I remembered a quote I had read a couple years ago.. (<---YES.. Personal Development STICKS with you for YEARS!!)

"Most great people have attained their GREATEST Success just one step beyond their GREATEST Failure!" ~ Napoleon Hill

See.. most people feel or experience failure and GIVE UP.. They stop dead in their tracks because in all honestly.. who really wants to admit that they arent good enough for something. I gave up PLENTY of times before.. and I know from experience.. that the feeling of GIVING UP is so much harder to absorb than the feeling of failure.. In fact.. giving up causes regrets! and regrets can last for an eternity.. it can be something that you even take to the grave.

I have so many people tell me that they can't do what I do with coaching.. and in all transparency.. YES YOU CAN! In fact.. you could be better! I am no different than anyone else out there.. But I am different in the sense that I wont GIVE UP! Ive been there and done that.. and I will take being a FAILURE far over giving up.. In fact.. I can honestly say that I have FAILED my way to Success! Over the past couple years, I have never worked harder on myself to be a better person, a better leader, a better coach! Someone who inspires others to get started, pick themselves up when they've fallen, and never give up!

And so I am sharing this with you all because while its easy to let the feelings of inadequacy take over.. there comes a point when you need to stick up for yourself and be OK with Failing! Failing is far more prevalent in this life than Succeeding.. but something strange starts to happen the more you fail.. you end up being SUCCESSFUL! Everything you wished for in the beginning of your journey.. happens after you've failed at it!!!

So today.. as I think about the goals that I set.. I am not giving up on them.. I'm setting NEW ONES.. BIGGER ONES!!! Because I know that I am that much closer to them on the other side of FAILURE! 

Change your mind to see things differently and your LIFE WILL CHANGE!!

NAILED IT!

I can't stop thinking about something Elysia said to me last night... 

As much as I do self-development.. I think its SO IMPORTANT to get my kids going as well.. Shoot.. If it took me over 30yrs to realize that Positive Thinking is a life changer.. it would be the absolute gift of all to get my kids started NOW!

Anyways... she just started reading 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C. Maxwell

.. and as we were discussing it last night.. Her BIGGEST take-away from the VERY FIRST chapter was.... 

DO IT NOW!! 

She struggles from procrastination  (wonder where she gets it from?) 

“The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.” ~ John C. Maxwell

One of the assignments in the book is to repeat.. "DO IT NOW" over and over, about 50 times.. EVERY morning when you wake up and EVERY night before you go to bed. Do this 5 days a week and 50 weeks a year.

And then it HIT ME... I have read this book already.. and yet this is something I NEVER picked up on! How could I have missed such a thing? But, this was my 13yr olds BIGGEST take-away?

and so it has been weighing on my mind.. in a good way 

We, as parents lead by example. Our kids are a direct reflection of US! and as much as we want to TEACH our kids everything and show them all the right.. there is SO MUCH that our kids pick up on.. that WE MISS! Its so important to HEAR what they are saying and allow them to TELL us their perspective of things.

Sometimes we miss the ball.. and they NAIL IT!!!!

Helping others is WHERE it's AT!!!!

I remember reading Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich about a year and a half ago and thinking to myself that I wanted nothing more than to help others… NOT for my own personal gain.. but because its so rewarding to make someone ELSE happy!

I initially discovered Beachbody to keep myself accountable so that I could reach a goal and actually COMPLETE a program… I would have NEVER thought at the time that I would be receiving messages from MY coaches FIRST thing in the morning to tell me that they received they BIGGEST paycheck for ONE WEEK of helping others do the same!!  

My coaches are in AWE because people are trusting them.. to help them...

- To complete a workout program.. 
- To eat cleaner..
- To get motivation for something that THEY'VE been WANTING for so long..

The JOY and EXCITEMENT that my coaches have from seeing their business thrive and GROW has been ABSOLUTELY REWARDING beyond belief!  I could tear up!

Our team does NOT consist of professional fitness trainers or experts in nutrition.. 

Instead, we are made up of stay at home wives/husbands, part time college students, active duty military, full time professionals in Corporate America, teachers, and hair dressers!  We are normal regular people!!

All doing one thing in common… HELPING OTHERS! 

Seriously though.. If you have been thinking about joining.. You don't want to miss out!  It could be YOU messaging me first thing in the morning!!
