I’m just going to cut right to the chase here today because I’ve been wanting to share this amazing case-study with you for a few weeks!!!
Note: This isn’t something I do very often simply because the work I do with my clients varies from person-to-person. However, there are some MAJOR takeaways from this particular client that I want to share with you.
But first…her story.
Meet Lisbeth (name changed to protect her privacy).
Lisbeth reached out to me in late 2017 for a consultation. Like many people I speak with, she reached out because she had been feeling unfulfilled, stuck, and a bit confused about her next steps and wanted some support moving forward. She knew she was ready for more and that it was time to move forward, but she just wasn’t sure where she was headed or how she was going to get there.
We had a great conversation and I KNEW she was ready to take her life to the next level so I invited her to work with me
As we discussed the financial commitment for working together, she understandably needed to take some time to crunch the numbers and see how she could make it work financially. At first glance it appeared that it wasn’t going to work out and she thought she’d have to put the idea of coaching on hold until things shifted for her financially.
Funny enough- I was opening up a special opportunity for clients to work with me at a reduced rate for a short period of time just a few weeks after we spoke and it turned out to be the FIRST of many trusting leaps that Lisbeth took in her journey.
About a month after our initial call, Lisbeth and I were signed up to work together for 4 sessions and that my friends is where the magic began.
In those 4 sessions Lisbeth made a HUGE commitment to herself to do the deep mindset work (even when it wasn’t pretty), to listen to her heart & intuition, and to ACT in spite of fear consistently.
The results were AMAZING. During the (roughly) 6 weeks we worked together she…
• Identified the direction she wanted to transition into career wise
• Followed her gut and invested in a training retreat to gain the skills for her new path
• Cleared out toxic relationships and activities that were no longer serving her
• Made massive shifts in her beliefs about herself and what was possible for her
• Took action relentlessly (even when it was scary and uncomfortable) to learn, grow, and evolve into who she really wanted to be
Was it always easy for her? Absolutely not!
There were days when she struggled with her belief and felt like she was taking a few steps back, but she stuck with the journey and maintained her commitment.
After our initial 6 weeks of working together, she continued investing in support to transform her personal power, money mindset, and to tap into her spiritual gifts and the magic just continued.
On March 12th of this year, she wrote to me and shared this about her journey…
“I went from credit card debt and unsure how to make monthly bills and I am now sitting with $8000 in my savings acct! AND this savings is AFTER the cost of my amazing life coach, and a women’s retreat I’m about to go on that was over $700(interestingly the same as a magical payment I just received!!!) I’m blown away and still have to pinch myself. This is happening for me, and it is flowing easier and faster now that I have fully wrapped my head around it and see the evidence! Everything is always working out for me😊 Thank you Lamisha!!!!!!”
And at the end of March she told me that number in her savings account had grown to $18,000! (Yes, you read that number correctly!)
Some of you may or may not be impressed by that number, but can I just say how incredibly PROUD I am of this woman???
She is kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive and in spite of all the ups and downs that have happened along this journey (believe me there have been many), she’s remembered WHY she began in the first place and her results speak for themselves.
This is HOW you do it people!!!
In fact, here is your formula step-by-step.
Step 1: Decide it’s time for things to be different and then DO something different.
If nothing changes, NOTHING CHANGES. You can’t expect to keep doing the same old things and get different results. If you want a different outcome, you have to be willing to do something different. For Lisbeth it was reaching out and scheduling that first consultation with me. For you, it might be something different. Listen to your heart and take action!
Step 2: Make the commitment to yourself. (Aka put your money where your mouth is.)
This doesn’t always mean making a financial commitment in getting support, but it often does. The truth is you can get to where you are going and where you want to be on your own. You can do the research, read the books, try the different methods etc. on your own, but the journey is likely going to be a bit longer. Why not learn from someone who does this for a living so you can get to where you are going faster and with more ease?
When you commit to yourself and you INVEST your money in getting (the right) support, you’ve got skin in the game to make shit happen. Money often creates momentum for people because it’s something they aren’t willing to lose. We tend to commit to our journey in an entirely different way when money is involved. It’s just something about how we are built. When you put your money where your mouth is, things start to happen.
For Lisbeth, she made the commitment in her mind first and then made the financial commitment…even though it stretched her at the time.
Step 3: Do the work constantly, consistently, and continuously even when it’s hard.
This means doing the daily mindset work and taking those scary leaps when you think you’re not ready. You will be challenged and want to quit…don’t. Keep going. Keep growing. Keep learning and evolving. And keep deciding, over and over again that YOU are making the necessary changes that will transform your life. This is a daily choice. It doesn’t end just because you invest in getting support. In fact, that is when the real work begins.
Lisbeth, has been committed to this journey since Day 1 and has recommitted to it with each new day. She’s been challenged and had moments of doubt, but she keeps going no matter what and her results speak for themselves. I suspect that by this time next year, her entire life is going to look vastly different than it does today because she’s not backing down from her goals. She’s just getting started.
Step 4: Just keep going.
I think this is the MOST important piece of it all. Just keep going. Things will feel hard sometimes (especially when you are leveling-up), but you have to just keep going. Keep things in perspective, get help when you need it and keep running through steps 1-3 as needed. If you want it, you have to be willing to do somethings differently and as logical as all this may sound, there are a TON of people who would rather sit around and complain about how their life isn’t changing. Don’t let that be you.
Final thoughts…
This case-study is 100% not about me and it has EVERYTHING to do with what is possible for YOU. I just wanted to share with you what is possible when you decide, commit, and take consistent action toward changing your life.
I know there are many of you reading this thinking… “That could never be me.” and I can guarantee that at one time Lisbeth thought the same thing. I’ve done it too.
The truth is…nothing is impossible. If you’ve dreamt about it, desired it, or even had a thought that “it might be fun if…” then it’s possible for you. The question is are you really ready to go ALL IN on your dreams or not?
If you are…take the first step today… DECIDE & DO something different. And if you’re REALLY ready to kick things up a notch and put your money where your mouth is I’ve got 2 invitations for you.
1. We officially are starting the MindPower Mastermind 6-Month Experience THIS WEEK and I’m extending the application deadline through TUESDAY. You must book your consultation between now and Tuesday if you want to get in. All the details here HERE.
2. I am opening up a few of my HeadCase Program spots (1:1 Coaching for Mindset Mastery) for May, so if you want to dive in and make magic happen in the next few months, this is your chance. Book your consultation here.
The moral of the story here is that you have this life for a reason and YOU get to decide what you want to do with it. Don’t be that person sitting around complaining that it’s not what you want it to be…get out and DO something about it. (Said with love and light of course.)
