    Realising that you are fully in control of your life and your future can be both hard to swallow and incredibly empowering. If our reality doesn't look like we want it to, it can be very hard to acknowledge that we are where we are due to all the decisions we have made in our lives. And I'm not saying this to be unkind. I'm saying it because when we truly believe this and own this belief, we take back control of our lives. Of course horrible things happen. Terrible things happen each and every day. But we have the choice to relive these events over and over in our heads or to choose to do something about them. We are not victims to our minds. We are in control of them. This means that if you aren't currently living the life that you want, you have the power to change that. You hold the keys to unlocking the future that you truly want. And I think that is the most exciting and empowering thing in the world. The Highlights: {1:42} Your current reality is what it is because of every decision you have ever made {2:22} Why our past does not have to be our future {4:22} I know this can be hard to hear but... {5:13} Every single decision you make has an impact on your future self {5:56} Living with the audacity to succeed each and every day   Links: There's still chance to get your 2021 Success Plan MOT with MOI by clicking here.

    The culture that in order to be successful you have to force your way to the top, crush your competitors and give yourself a nervous breakdown on the way is not a healthy or necessary one and this in itself comes from a place of fear. Fear that you don't really deserve the success if you've not half killed yourself trying to achieve it. And I don't mean that you don't have to work to be successful. Not at all. But I do mean that there's a difference between working in your zone of genius and thriving and the equivalent of pushing a heavy boulder up a hill on a daily basis. So in todays show I'm talking about how to get into that flow state. Highlights: {1:51} Flow vs. Forcing {3:46} Why going with the flow makes your life infinitely better {4:26} What if you're struggling to charge for your genius  {6.35} Signs you are forcing rather than flowing {8:10} My top tips for moving into flow   If you're ready to create your own success story, grab your FREE 30 Day Success Plan >>> HERE Join the conversation after over in the private community
