The holidays always seem to be a time of reflection.But this year has been particularly significant for many of my clients and colleagues.
Why? It seems like the elephant that they had been able to successfully ignore year after year has finally gotten so big that they simply can no longer ignore it anymore. In fact, the elephant has grown so big, it is forcing some major changes in short order.
So this holiday season they are dealing with it up close and personal. Ugh, right?
What do I mean when I say, “THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM?”The elephant in the room is something so big that when you finally do address it, the world feels like the tectonic plates beneath your feet literally are shifting in real time. Nothing feels the same afterward.
Examples of elephants I’ve heard of lately include, but are not limited to:
“This last year I decided to let go of a part of my business model that really worked for me in the previous years. I’ve been feeling the financial pain of that decision all year. Now I’m getting ready to re-introduce that component of my business in 2011 in a much larger way than I ever have before. It means big changes and the biggest risk and commitment I’ve ever made to my business in all my years of business!”
“For the last couple of years as I have been pursuing my entrepreneurial career. My wife has been unhappy, because she doesn’t feel safe with the uncertainty. So we’re getting divorced and I’m moving out by Christmas Eve!”
“There was something financial in my business that I ignored for a really long time, because I kept thinking that once I got these other things in place, it would naturally work itself out. Unfortunately, things got more and more skewed with time and it got really painful to the point where I had to do something to address the issue. Finally, I had to deal with it, but now that I have, I feel a million times better than before!”
The elephant in the room is life changing. It requires big changes financially, emotionally, physically and/or spiritually. It is usually something so overwhelming to deal with that we ignore it until it forces us to make those big changes whether we want to or not.
HINT: The degree of difficulty in making those changes mounts with time ignoring the elephant. So, you can either address it a little bit at a time or wait until it engulfs the room you are in and literally forces you to move into another space.The choice is yours to either go along willingly or be forced to make the shift at some point.
Some telltale signs that you’ve got an elephant in the room:
It is the thing that you bristle at when someone you love brings it up, like business success and finances, excessive or unhealthy food or alcohol use, or a serious imbalance that is compromising other areas of your life, like your relationships with friends and family.
It is that thing that nobody wants to talk aboutand so the subject is changed almost as soon as it is brought up.
There is almost always evidence related to it in your immediate environment.You don’t have to look too far to find it, but you may have grown so accustomed to seeing it, that you need a fresh set of eyes on the situation at hand.
The elephant is usually costing you something in terms of your significant relationshipswith family and friends in your personal life and clients and business associates in your professional life.
How do you recognize the elephant in the room?
Exercise: Take a sneak peak at the elephant(s) in your own life you are ignoring.
“Name that elephant!” ~ as soon as you identify it, you begin disempowering it.
Name the telltale signs the elephant is in the room ~ make a list of the obvious clues surrounding you and be brutally honest with yourself in that moment. You can always send it through the shredder, but for a moment, allow yourself to “see” it.
Play it forward ~ what do you expect to have happen if it continues unaddressed?
Your immediate payoff for ignoring it ~ what do you get out of turning a blind eye?
Your cost or payout for ignoring it ~ what is the price of your ticket to admission to this experience in your life?
Action steps you can take to correct course ~ I recommend writing down easy, moderate, and difficult action steps so that you can see ALL of your options for remedying this situation.
If you can’t figure it out on your own (which is completely normal because you are subjective in your own experiences), look for trusted guidance in your life through friends, family or more of an objective source like a counselor or coach.Often times, a fresh set of eyes on a situation that is keeping you scratching your head is welcome reprieve. The good news is that once you go through the shift, it is no longer anywhere near as scary and you learn a lot about yourself along the way.
The person you become on the other side is one to celebrate and love for all the years to come!
Two weeks ago, I was in Phoenix, Arizona at Baeth Davis’s Life Purpose Summit. And something unexpected happened. I felt like I had an open heart before the event, but I went ahead and set the intention to really open my heart while at the event. During a seemingly benign exercise of intuitively connecting with people you feel drawn to connect with, I connected with a gentleman, Terry Hickey, and shared I liked something he said at the microphone about Peru and the fact that the people are connected to the land. He responded in kind, sharing that the Amazon is considered to be the heart of the earth, and then it happened… My heart opened up and suddenly all the years of understanding what is happening with the planet on an intellectual level dipped down into my heart and wow… Tears just started flowing from my eyes… I got scared at first because suddenly I was crying with the awareness and I was embarrassed to be having this experience with virtually a complete stranger. Thank God he was as wonderful as he was, and that he specializes in this kind of thing ~ heart centered transformations, because he reminded me how to ground myself in the Earth and I got centered.
The exercise ended and we returned to our seats. At that moment I looked up at Baeth on the stage and she could see I had just had a huge breakthrough, so she asked me to step up to the microphone… And what came out of my mouth surprised even me… It has everything to do with PLANETARY HEALING… I don’t really remember everything that I said, but at the end of it, everyone in the room gave me a standing ovation and over the next few days, so many people kept coming up to me and giving me their business cards saying they want to work with me to heal the planet. I can’t explain it any other way than to say that I LET MY LIGHT SHINE and I was 100% me… No holds barred… 100% ME… And it felt INCREDIBLE!!!
Funny thing is that I came home from the event and realized that I had said it a year before in a video that I posted above. It was still all up in my head at that time, but it was there and I remember after the filming, there was some surprise that my response was planetary wellness. The great thing is that our truest desires are always with us, even when we aren’t 100% clear on what they are. And so it was an incredible confirmation. What happened at the event came through my heart…
Truth is you really have to feel it through and through to make any kind of a difference in this world. Not easy, but crucial… And my mission is really empowering Enlightened Entrepreneurs to step up and live into their life’s purpose fully so that they touch the lives of the people they are meant to touch, and so on… And the wonderful outcome is that we will all call for planetary healing together… Naturally…
It felt like completion from an event I had attended 2 years earlier with David Neagle where I was still struggling from the remnants of a very debilitating illness that had been with me for 18 years… At that event, I chose to release the story that bound me in that illness. It was so powerful, because I realized that I was allowing the illness to keep me playing small. David helped me to release that belief and send it back to the ether where it came from and to heal by loving my body and letting my body love me. When I came home from that event, I created this Mind Movie to fully heal from that illness…
The gift that came to me? I discovered www.ILoveMyKangenWater.comand as I continued drinking it the remaining symptoms of NEUROPATHY (brain and spinal cord nerve inflammation) left my body COMPLETELY. I literally THANK GOD every single time I pour myself a glass of water from my machine… The two “things” I can’t live without? (1) My Goose Down Comforter (probably because I spent so many years in bed and it gave me so much comfort) and (2) My Kangen Water… @ www.WaterHoldsTheKey.com … And if I had to choose ONE, it would be my Kangen Water machine.
So now it is time for me to pay it forward… The great thing is that I was also with my longtime mentor and friend, Ali Brown, who was the first person who really showed me the path to spread my wings and fly 5 years ago ~ and ultimately inspired me through her living example to SHINE!
Now I think it is time for me to start my work more closely with friend and mentor, James Malinchak, to really polish my skills at speaking from the stage…
My greatest wish is PLANETARY HEALING and SPREADING LOVE & LIGHT IN THIS WORLD LIKE NO ONE HAS SEEN IT SPREAD BEFORE… And I hope that you join me on this journey, because it will take a FORCE OF NATURE (i.e., ALL OF YOU) to HEAL MOTHER EARTH…
Have you ever observed someone you have followed for years suddenly skyrocket to success taking their business from six figures to the million-dollar mark and then multiple millions? I’ve had the privilege of working inside the businesses of what Tim Ferris refers to in his book The Four-Hour Workweek as the New Rich. These are first-generation, self-made millionaires who started out at ground zero and created highly successful multimillion-dollar corporations. One core component of their success in their businesses is a signature info product suite. So let’s take a look at the 5 massive benefits of having a signature info product suite in your business.
