What if You're Just In The Middle of Creating the Result?

It's so easy to think that if we haven’t created the end result yet, then it’s not going to happen at all, and so we should just go and watch Netflix in bed.

But what if you’re just in the middle of achieving your goal?

Because if you’ve already started putting in effort, then you’re already part of the way.

You’re in the middle of creating a house downpayment.

You’re in the middle of creating a client.

You’re in the middle of winning a championship.

You’re in the middle of making the money.

You’re in the middle of losing weight.

Even if it seems like you’re not getting anywhere, in fact, you’re just in the middle of your goal.

I'm in the middle of healing my shoulder so I can do 100 push ups in a row.

What are you in the middle of?

Holding Belief

What I’m currently working on: holding the belief that “it is working” before I see the result.

I noticed there is a pattern to my goals, and one of the phases is the “Eeeeeek what if this doesn’t work?” phase.

And it is never, ever helpful.

I always get out of it. But I’m working on moving through it more quickly, until eventually, I never experience a “what if this doesn’t work” thought.

Because even when we put in crazy effort, there’s usually a delay time between the action we’re taking, and result we want to see.

Our job is to keep holding that belief that IT IS WORKING.

My favourite thought right now: It is ALREADY working.

5 Practical Ideas For Creating Any Result You Want

I am relentlessly resourceful. It’s true. I will always find a way to create the result I’m after. Even when it feels like I’ve exhausted all the options. I will find a way, because I’ve decided that’s who I am. (You can decide it’s true about you too).

Resourceful things I did to get my boyfriend and me to Bora Bora on a budget:

• I called every travel agent in town. I spoke to dozens of different representatives. I scoured every booking site on the internet to find the best deal possible.

• We had two pieces of carry-on luggage. One, we filled with clothes. The other, we filled with two-minute noodles. I'm 100% serious. We ate them for dinner every day to save money. (Hey – we were students, so we were used to it – and they taste a lot better when you’re lying on a beach in the south pacific).

• We stalked Google Earth for local food options and found a corner shop that sold 30c baguettes.

• We went in off-peak season.

• We stayed in a normal hotel – on land, rather than over water. They don't advertise those, but if you're on a mission, you can find them. It was just as luxurious. And we saved $10,000.

So today I wanted to share a list of starter ideas to get the creativity flowing when you need to be resourceful.

1. Make a list of people who have exactly what you want and email every single one of them for advice: even if they’re famous or you’ve never met them before. All you need is one reply.

2. Send a message to every person you know on Facebook asking if they know anyone who can help you with what you need.

3. Figure out the person who can give you what you want (nearly always when we want something in life, we have to get it from someone else – whether that’s a brilliant personal trainer or a book publisher or a psychologist).

4. Find out TPB; their personal bonus. What is it that they want? How can you give it to them?

5. Ask 1000 people. You can have anything you want if you ask enough people.

What else should be on this list? Let me know in the comments!

A Journaling Question to Make It Easy

What could you do right now that would make everything else easier or unnecessary?

Everything Breeds Success

In 2017, I nearly became the Television Host of Bravo TV.

The producer told me I was *this* close.

But they said I was too young.

They gave it to Kylie Jenner’s bestie at the time, Cassidy.

I cried for a week.

But it was the one of the best things that ever happened to me, because it showed me I can just apply for stuff I’m way under qualified for, and still be considered.

It reminded me I can go after things that feel impossible.

What followed in 2018 was an epic year:

➡️Created a blog

➡️Started a t-shirt company

➡️Made my own Instagram course

➡️Visited 19 countries in 90 days

➡️Moved to England

➡️Found (or created) my calling in personal development

➡️Got certified as a High Performance Coach in Arizona

➡️Started my coaching business and got my first paid client in 2 days

None of that would have happened if I’d got the job.

None of any of this.

My boyfriend always says Success Breeds Success. 

It’s true.

And you know what else?

Failure Breeds Success too.

So whether you’ve recently succeeded or recently failed, it doesn’t matter:

EVERYTHING IS BUILDING YOUR SUCCESS.

Mastermind: Day 1

Today is the first day of my mastermind and I am kind of out of my mind with excitement.

I’ve been waiting three months for this. 

(And it’s been on my vision board since April last year.)

And I was working on this goal for several months in 2020 – but I was trying to get accepted for next year (January 2022).

But I realised if it's impossible in one year, and it's impossible now, what's the difference?

I've never had to show up with this much conviction and certainty that I could do something I had ZERO evidence I could do.

And today, I’m starting that process all over again.

I’ve done a ton of work on the kind of person I will show up as.

Who I need to BE to create results in this mastermind (I haven’t even chosen what results I’m going after yet, but I know they’ll be impossible).

I’ve journaled pages and pages. I’ve listened to my hype playlist for hours. I’ve done all the homework.

I’m ready, because I’m deciding I am.

Thoughts I’m choosing:

• I was made for this

• I am unstoppable

• I have won the lottery

• I am ALL IN

I’ll keep you updated! 

How to Turn Your Weaknesses into Strengths

Sometimes I set a goal and I don’t have a clue how to achieve it. Actually, most of the time that’s the case.

But just because I’ve never done something before, doesn’t mean I can’t do it.

In fact, it could be an advantage, right?

Recently, I’ve been looking for evidence for why my weaknesses are actually my greatest advantages:

• Why is it a good thing that I’ve never done it before?

• Why is it a good thing that I don’t know how yet?

• Why is it a good thing that I’m not strong in this area yet?

Possible answers:

• Because I’m not bogged down with all the rules.

• Because I might be able to see things from a different perceptive.

• Because I’ll be able to compensate with my other strengths and bring a whole new twist to the way it can be done.
  

What if your weakness is actually your greatest strength?

Nike Were Right

Thinking about doing the thing is the hard part. Doing it is easy.

I’ve had all sorts of thoughts that have lead to stress over the past couple of days, and yet, when it comes down to it – none of it is really that stressful. I just need to do the thing.

Nike were right.

Change The Thought You’re Thinking & You Can Change Everything

Our thoughts control how we feel, and our feelings control our actions, and our actions control our results.

If you want a different result, choose a new thought.

Easier said than done – but when done, it’s like magic.
