The struggle breaks many.
We all start with a dream. With confidence that we’ll make it. Knowing we are smart, talented and have something valuable to offer. Surely the market will notice and buy.
Ah, if only it turned out that easy, right?
The clients I’ve seen make the greatest progress, fastest are usually the ones who’ve struggled – often for years.
They’ve invested thousands – even tens of thousands of dollars – in self development. Info products. Seminars. Coaching.
Many still carry this as massive, stifling credit card debt. A daily reminder of their disappointment in themselves.
There have been ups and downs. Excitement and dashed hopes.
They’ve considered quitting. More than once.
But they didn’t.
Because as bad as it looked on any given day, there were always the omens. The little signs life leaves along your path to remind you that it is only a matter of time.
First, there is that Inner Knowing that you are on the path you are meant to be on. And then there are the smaller omens.
The teleseminar you weren’t going to listen to turns out to be the source of an important insight you’ve been missing.
The new client who shows up just in time. Again.
A failure that, upon reflection, contained a lesson you needed to learn.
You have just enough success to keep the lights on. Sometimes a bit of extra. Often not quite enough. But that Inner Knowing keeps you going.
Yes, the struggle breaks many. But there are a few who do emerge stronger.
The key difference is this:
Those who break through, heed the omens.
Those who don’t, heed their fears.
This is why they have the courage to continue to invest in themselves despite all the ‘valid,’ ‘rational’ reasons not to. To take actions that would otherwise be just too scary.
Hopefully, by then you’ve learned to enjoy the journey because you know what happens when you do break through?
You start all over again at that new, higher level. 😉

PS – This month I’ll be giving away a handful of free “Consistent Flow of Clients” strategy sessions. If you’re working hard, but it’s not adding up to a consistent flow of clients for you yet, this might be for you.
Obviously, I am limited in how many of these 45 – 90 minutes sessions I can give away for free. So please only request a session if:
— You KNOW you should be able to add $100,000 or more to your income in the coming 12 months. You may already be over the $100k mark, but you’ve hit a ceiling you want to break through. This will be a valuable session for you.
— Adding at least $100,000 in the coming 12 months is your top priority.
— You’re looking for the right coach or consultant to help you. These sessions are free, and more than 9 out of 10 find them tremendously helpful. If we do schedule one, you are under no obligation of any kind.
But priority goes to those who are looking for help attracting a consistent flow of ideal clients – and after reading and listening to some of my material, feel I might be the right person to help.
If that’s you, go now and request a session. Fill in the questions here and I’ll get back to you within a few days.
