We are what we choose to become

e’ve all heard that old saying, “What you focus on is where you drive your energy.” But do you really take that to heart? Think about all the “things” you drive your energy toward during a typical workday. Are you wasting your time focusing on the unnecessary? I call these moments “time suckers.” When was the last time you took inventory and focused on your passion, your driving energy, the “why” of what you have created and what it is you do? If you can’t remember, I’m challenging you to take inventory of where you’re spending your time and if any results are coming from these time suckers. If you suddenly realize the daily actions you’ve put into place are yielding the same results—and not the ones you’re looking for—YOU must redirect your energy and do things differently. We choose who we become. We choose to be purposefully driven, protect our time with boundaries, schedule our days to work on the things in our business that are the most important. We do this by focusing on the “one” thing that fuels our business. In Lead Up for Women that one thing is “exposure.” The more you step into the spotlight, the more you’re seen and not overlooked. Your influence expands and you attract more clients. Attracting clients is the one thing most of us need to run our business. Wouldn’t you agree? Remember, your existence is not by accident. Your existence has so much meaning. Are you ready to be extraordinary? Take on the unknown and leap into your Zone of Excellence? Bask in your Zone of Genius? Are you prepared for it? If you’re waiting— waiting for all of the situations to come together perfectly—I’m here to tell you no one is coming? No one is aligning your present or your future to be perfect for you. YOU must create your reality, seize opportunities and leap into your genius. You’re the only you that has ever been and the only you that will ever be. Be you and be strong, because you are brilliant and the world needs you. All the members of Lead Up for Women are here to offer you support and sisterhood to leading your best life and the journey starts today. I’d like to thank each and every one of you who believes in our mission, who believes in the vision that women can lift each other without competition or judgment and will expand in abundance, success and love, then, in turn, inspire others to do the same. We are all sisters in this world, and in order to create more jobs and clear more pathways for women to shine in leadership, we must band together and blaze the trails. Who’s with me? I have faith in each of you that we can begin to build the blueprint necessary to create lasting change for women. Join us. With Gratitude,
