Yesterday’s email about figuring out exactly what YOU want your business and your life to look like triggered a bunch of responses…
So I want to expand on this one from Rami…
———We are constantly told what success is and what happiness is without ever thinking of our own definition. I realized I have been chasing someone else’s definition of success/happiness for many years. And now I’m making changes to shape my own definition for the future. Thank you,Rami————
This is a really important realization by Rami.
Why?
Well because most people DON’T actually know what they want.
So they chase things they THINK they should want.
And then when they get those things…
They’re not happy.
I know this all too well.
When I sold my supplement company in 2017, it was both a joyous day and a miserable one.
I had been working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for years to make this happen.
And when it finally happened, it wasn’t what I thought it would be.
Sure, I had a lot more money…
But I didn’t feel any more fulfilled…
I didn’t feel any happier.
Which was a tough pill to swallow.
But a lot of good ended up coming from that.
Cause it made me think about what I really wanted to do.
Not just what would make me money…
But what would fulfill me…
And inspire me on a daily basis.
That’s what led me into teaching/coaching.
Where I realized very quickly that I loved seeing the transformation in people’s lives.
I got a lot of fulfillment from that.
Knowing that I played a role in helping someone get out of a job they hate and do their own thing with copywriting…
Or helping someone create their first offer and scale it to 8-figures.
That meant a lot to me.
So that low poin helped me get clear on my focus of what my business and my life should look like.
Which is key…
Cause here’s the truth…
You get to create the life and business that YOU want.
You can set it up how you want…
Work with WHO you want…
Make however much YOU want…
That’s all up to you.
So if you want to spend more time with your kids…
Or not be on the computer til midnight….
You can do all that.
You just need to create a life and a business that allows you to do that.
If you don’t actually think about these things…
It’s too easy to fall into the trap of chasing things you don’t even want…
And working at all hours of the day.
So give it some thought…
What do you REALLY want?
How do you want your life to look?
Simply giving this some thought can dramatically improve your life in the long run.
So I suggest you do it.
Hope that makes sense…
Cause that’s all I got for ya today.
