Coming from a place of authenticity, vulnerability, and a desire to build trust from the start, allow me to share a bit about my journey.

I am not perfect nor have I achieved all my heart’s desires. I am not at the top of the mountain looking down over the valley from a place of superiority. I am climbing too. My pack is full of success, failure, resources, tools, and blank pages in my journal. While we may not share the same challenges, I have overcome my own and I can encourage others from a place of empathy. By teaching proven techniques day in and day out, I simply have an opportunity to live them more fully.

This perspective acknowledges the transformative journey and ongoing effort involved with personal growth and achievement. Let’s take a deeper look at the mindset required:

1. Embrace Imperfection:

• Humility and Growth: Accepting that we are not perfect is an acknowledgment that everyone, including ourself, is a work in progress. This humility keeps us grounded and open to learning.
• Continuous Improvement: Recognizing that I haven’t achieved all my desires highlights the continuous nature of personal growth. It’s not about reaching a final destination but about continually striving to improve.

2. Learning Through Teaching:

• Deeper Understanding: Teaching others reinforces our own understanding of the techniques and principles we share with others. Explaining concepts requires clarity and comprehension, deepening our mastery of them.
• Practical Application: By teaching daily, I consistently apply techniques in real-life situations. This practice ensures that I am living the principles I advocate, making them an integral part of my routine.

3. Accountability and Motivation:

• Personal Accountability: I am more likely to practice what I preach, knowing that others look to me for guidance and inspiration.
• Renewed Motivation: Sharing knowledge and seeing others benefit from my guidance renews my own motivation. Your progress and success can and will inspire those around you to stay committed to your own journey.

4. Evolution of Techniques:

• Adapting and Evolving: The process of teaching allows me to continuously refine and adapt the techniques I use. Feedback from clients and collaborators helps me improve and innovate.
• Staying Current: Engaging with a community of learners – such as through the Goals Mastermind – requires me to keep updated with new trends, ideas, and methods. This dynamic exchange ensures that my knowledge remains relevant and effective.

5. Purposeful Living:

• Alignment with Values: Teaching and living the techniques we believe in aligns our actions with our values. This alignment brings a sense of purpose and fulfillment to daily life. Something I believe we all strive for more of.
• Impact and Legacy: By sharing our journey, we contribute to the growth and success of others. Our positive impact on others extends our influence beyond our personal achievements, creating a lasting legacy.

By acknowledging our ongoing journey and sharing our experiences, we cultivate a mindset of continuous growth and mutual support. Personally, teaching becomes a powerful tool for my own development, enabling me to live more fully and meaningfully while helping others do the same.

I look forward to walking along side you on the journeys that lay ahead.
