Life has a way of screeching down on us sometimes.  I had been in a rut for years.  Nothing seemed to be going my way….lousy marriage, even worse divorce, job crashing down (I was in real estate), life as a single mom, huge attorney fees, lots of bills, no income….  Foreclosure was starting to take my investments and my personal residence.   I was at rock bottom.   Or so I thought…then things kept occurring.   At first I just thought I was feeling sorry for myself and that I couldn’t do anything right.   My brain had been trained to repeat over and over again…”if it is bad, then it will happen to me.”  I had subconsciously trained my brain to attract negative things.  I was limiting myself in every way.   Professionally, personally and emotionally I was dragging myself down and literally bringing more terrible things into my life. 

I had enough.   Something had to change.   I took a drive up to Sedona, which is about 2 hours from my house in Scottsdale Arizona.   It is an amazing place with a really quiet almost spirtitual place that is perfect for someone to go when needing to be introspective.   So there I was- not being a huge believer in psychic readers, I decided it might be fun.   Maybe she had some answers…or maybe not, but at least it would be good entertainment.   I pulled up to a little shop near downtown Sedona and sat down with Sara.   She closed her eyes for the first 20 seconds.   Uncomfortable silence ensued until she opened her eyes and told me that I was entering a time of transition (OK…aren’t we all?),  then told me it had been a hard time for me recently (OK…wasn’t it for everyone?) but that in the following year I was going to grow in ways that I have never grown before.   Hmmm…not sold on her story, but I asked what she meant by that.   She explained, I wasn’t going to meet that special person in the next year or two and I wasn’t going to win the lottery….(darn).   But I was going to start making money again once I became whole and started to believe in myself again.   She said I needed to get whole.  I was clogged with negative emotions and was attracting a lot of negative feelings around me.   My growth was going to come from within.   She said, the next 12-24 months I was going to spend focusing on personal development.   I thought to myself “this must be psychic speak for not being sure about me”.   She walked me down the tiny hallway and down the stairs out to a lobby of books.   At that point I figured I’d get a book and go sit by the creek and relax.   She recommended the book “Law of Attraction”.   Without much thought I bought the book. 

So what did I figure out?  I realized that the truth was I HAD let my brain and my personal negative affirmations attract more of the same.  I was literally writing my destiny.  And it was not the destiny I wanted.

As a newbie in the personal development world I was amazed at the premise.  And I was even more amazed at what happened as I started practiving the skills taught by masters in personal development. 

I made lists of what I wanted out of life.  What I decided is this….

I want to do something I can believe in and in doing that – help others do the same.   WOW.   Sounds easy, but now what?   What would that be? 

Like you I was scouring the internet for something or someone that could help me.   I met someone a few months later.   Fate?   No, now with my new attitude helping me attract better people and situations, I know that I attracted her into my life.  She has wound up being a great friend and mentor.   She introduced me to a personal development company that basically helps people like me systematically change their life.   It has been a blessing.   It was precisely what I needed at that point.  

So was the psychic right or just simply lucky?   I think I did it.  I affirmed my worth daily and stopped doubting my abilities.  I retrained my brain to thing positive thoughts constantly.   I didn’t just want to be successful, I knew I was going to be successful.   I am still learning and now am helping others learn too.   I am loving life and love helping others change their lives too.

EVERYONE who is willing to put the time and effort into personal development and building a business can achieve whatever wealth they desire.  By working on yourself, your skill set, attitude, habits, self-esteem, etc., you can achieve whatever it is that you want. This works 100% of the time when someone is committed.  So why isn't everyone wealthy? Well very few people are actually willing to put the Time, Effort, and Resources into THEMSELVES to grow into a successful wealthy entrepreneur. It is a formula, and it has been done many times before and will continue to be done again by those who simply take the action in their lives and follow a blueprint for success. 

If you want to speak with me more about what I’m up to please send me an email.  I’d love to help you find the success you deserve!

To your happiness!
