A couple of weeks ago I had the overwhelming push to take the plunge, face the fear, and move forward with a full on business not just word of mouth. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was holding me back and then it dawned on me…..money. How many of us have held back from something due to one thing? The compromise is to move forward on a smaller scale and build from there.
It comes down to what legacy I want to leave for my boys.Think about it, how do you want to be remembered in this life? Nothing in life come without drive, hard work, commitment, passion, and the manifestation of a dream.
It fell into place when I could not shake the sense and push to buy the boards. It was a constant feeling, the gut or intuition, to move forward. So off I went to Vernon on a day trip and wound up with a great variety of boards for all skill level. It fell into place once I said yes to the feeling and pushed through the fear.
We stop ourselves from dreaming too big in fear of failure. I recommend dreaming larger than the universe and have a clear vision of what you want. From the contact with the right instructor to fit me, down to storage space, it all aligned and the dream became a reality.
The resources are out there, just research and ask questions. From business names, website design, waivers, to business cards the internet has a wealth of information, low cost and some even free.
As I look at the boys, they all ready have such a great work ethic which was instilled in them at an early age. They are keen to support the business in any way they can. Making posters, taking booking call, and setting prices. A growing family business which may spark their interest and future career goals.
It is so important in this age of material wealth to instill what are now sadly considered old fashion values. Chopping and stacking wood, cooking, yard work, gardening, cleaning and laundry will give you a solid foundation to take out into the world. You develop a great sense of ownership and pride when you master these life skills.
Some great questions to ask yourself on this journey called life….
How do I show up?
What legacy do I want to leave?
How can I make a difference?
What’s holding me back?
Looking inside and examining what truly brings you passion, will spark the drive to make it happen.
The past struggles have opened me up to a wealth of possibilities and the belief that I can accomplish anything.
Blessings and Much Aloha……
