3 Life lessons from the owner of Mind Movies
LIFE LESSON #1:
Success is never about your resources, it's about
your resourcefulness.
Many people believe that they need to have a sizable
chunk of money, the right connections or a college
degree before they can even begin to THINK about
making their dreams a reality…
But this couldn't be further from the truth.
When my husband and I started Mind Movies in 2007
for example, we were in debt, we knew next to nothing
about the Internet and there was no one around to help
mentor us.
But rather than let our lack of resources stop us, we
saw it as a challenge to get resourceful :)
Specifically, we decided to set our fears aside and
instead open our minds to learning what we needed to
know to get to where we wanted to be, which leads me
to…
---> LIFE LESSON #2:
Don't let "I don't know how" stop you from learning
how.
There's a quote that I love by a Vietnamese monk
named Thich Nhat Hanh:
"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out
of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is
familiar."
In my experience, what usually stops people from pursuing
their goals and dreams is that stepping out and trying
something new feels unfamiliar and scary…
And so - even though they may not be totally happy where
they currently are in life - they subconsciously do what
they can to stay there because they find comfort in the
predictability.
If you've ever felt this fear (or perhaps you're feeling it
now), one of the best ways to overcome it so that you can
spring into action is to surround yourself with the right
support network which leads me to…
---> LIFE LESSON #3:
Create a positive Circle of Influence.
Want to take your income, business, career or love life to
the next level? You don't have all of the answers or even
a crystal clear plan…
But it IS downright crucial that you surround yourself with
people who will mentor you and support you to stay in
action and live your best life.
I call this your "Circle of Influence."
The people you choose to surround yourself with can either
inspire you to create new exciting realities for yourself, or
they can cripple your success by making you doubt who
you are and what you're capable of.
So be mindful of who you spend your time with! Your
future happiness really does depend on it :)
