Try And Stop Me

Have you ever been somewhere & witnessed a speaker on a stage or in a room who just absolutely captivated it. It's like as they talked they just floated across the stage and their words, girrlll you could just shut your eyes and be right in the room they were describing - you could even smell the freakin cookies the said were baking in the background. And then you blink and they are off the stage and some new boring person is up next & you think to yourself - "how the heck did they just do that?!"

Minna Taylor is THAT - she is a Speaker, Confidence Coach, Expert Story Teller & Founder at Energize Your Voice.

When Minna is on stage or in the front of the room - this woman just takes you with her on her story. Her secret weapons, the power of confidence, voice & story telling.

We all get taught at a young age, make a plan for your life and follow that plan until you accomplish your goal right. Heck we talk about that here... 

 But what do you do when life happens right smack in the middle of that journey? Where is that clear path in life when you're facing an unexpected injury that you have no control over when or if it heals? 

Chelsea Whalley Partner & COO of J Donovan Financial had just that, her vision was set, she knew exactly where she was going in life. On her way to becoming a doctor, mid season into her college softball career when a freak accident happened during warm ups. In that moment whether she knew it or not, her whole life was about to be completely redirected as the injury she faced was about to bring her far bigger challenges and a totally different path in life.

Listen along as she shares her inspiring journey, the struggles through healing and how she was able to find the strength & alignment back within herself and her life regardless of how life tried to knock her off course.

 "I will never question again whether I have the strength to go through something hard." - Chelsea Whalley @benefitsboss

The human brain has 48 thoughts per minute 70,000 thoughts PER day

That means we have a hell of a lot more conversations with ourselves than we do anyone else.

We get a thought, we internally have a quick dialogue, do the thing or don’t do the thing -- our body shoots off a feeling and we either pounce or back away from it.

So going after a goal or a dream or just simply making a tough decision often feels like push & pull.

Well how you’ve interacted with yourself in the past, the experiences you’ve seen, the words you’ve heard all of this starts to play a role into how you form into an adult. And one by one those experiences start to dictate how your life pans out because your believing and listening to old traits & habits.

Today’s solo time I want you to challenge yourself to push past some of those 70,000 thoughts and narrate your future. Pick 3 traits you want to work towards becoming for your future self.

Me I’m shooting to be: Enthusiastic, Valuable and Present

"Take the next step or choose to let it cripple you." The wise words from the incredibly impactful man himself, Lester Morales is our next guest.

  Lester is no newbie to the game of a go-getter. After many years as a super successful sales leader, he took a good look around and knew there was a bigger impact to be made in his industry & more importantly his life. With the help of wise words from his mom and a strong belief in himself, he chose to take the leap of faith and opened the doors of Next Impact, LLC. 

What happened would be enough to knock many others of course, still after major hits he has proven to never back down and is as successful as ever running a now 7 figure business he gets to call his own.

 Lester's journey is a true definition that you don't get to choose the cards you're dealt on the journey in life, what you do get to choose is how you move forward to make an impact from that.

It’s time for you to show up MESSY. There is no such thing as perfect or the RIGHT time, come on now.

Something in our nature always makes us want thing to be just right, a road map, a plan of action before we jump. But what we actually do during that time of trying to be perfect, is WASTE our time. Perfect is never going to happen, not even when we know what we’re doing.

You have 2 people you are 100% responsible for. Your past self & your future self. It is on you to go out and make them both proud!

I'd love to hear all about you and your company! Follow me on Instagram @collblum, let's connect!
