From the time I was a little girl, throughout all of school, whenever we had lessons about, “What do we want to be when we get older,” I always answered, a stay-at-home mom (SAHM). Even as I graduated as a Distinguished Scholar in High School, at our recognition ceremony, most people said, “Doctors and lawyers.” I was the only person who said SAHM.
Fast forward about 20-years, I’m a SAHM to 4 (ages 16-10), and my husband needed a kidney transplant. It was then I realized, I needed a back-up plan. Just in case. I jumped into a Direct Sales Company and found instant success—earning around $1500-$3000/month. I earned the incentive trips, and decided then, that I wanted to earn a six-figure income.
The problem was, I was clueless how to take my business to the next level without burning myself out. I hadn’t yet learned about Leslie Householder, The Success Laws, or the Mind Model. No matter what I did, I kept hitting the wall. Eventually, I did burn myself out, and due to the stress, developed an autoimmune disease. My business completely fizzled, and the idea of rebuilding it was unappealing.
Then I attended Genius Bootcamp, and I learned about the Mind Model and the automatic programs running in our sub-conscious mind. I realized my SAHM programming was strong, and kept winning out, causing self-sabotage. Along with the SAHM programming, came programs such as:
- While I worked, I neglected my kids.
- God didn’t want me working.
- I wasn’t worthy of earning 6-figures.
- I can’t handle the stress of working.
After Genius Bootcamp, I worked on “Seeing my rabbit.” I worked on being mindful of the programs that kept popping up in my subconscious and rejecting them. As well as choosing what to replace them with, such as:
- I am worthy of success in life and business. I am worthy of wealth.
- I am thankful and overjoyed that I connect with my family.
- Satan has my radio. I am open that God wants me to earn the income as I use it for good.
- I use tools to relax my stress-response system. I take short breaks to relax and reset.
- I am healthy and fit. I have healthy habits.
Ten months later, I took Guided Mindset Mastery and learned about the Universal Success Principles, proper goal setting, and my long-term life’s purpose. Learning about the laws and experimenting with them gave me the confidence to achieve my goals without burning myself out.
After the class, I realized I needed to get clearer about:
- What was my actual “rabbit?”
- What was my long-term life’s purpose?
- Trusting God, the Laws & letting go of the “how.”
Earning a six-figure income wasn’t my “rabbit.” My rabbit was: security, accomplishment, making a difference in others’ lives, and having the time flexibility to share my passion with others, as well as being the GOAT grandmother.
As I started following my passions, reading my long-term life’s purpose, and feeling my “rabbit” accomplished, the doors started opening. Several in fact! Thank goodness for my long-term life’s purpose, because it gave clarity on which doors to say “Yes” to and which were a definite no. Life was still messy at times, and I learned quickly when choices had steered me in the wrong direction. The blessings always came from those mistakes, teaching me where I still lacked.
I continued immersing myself in the Rare Faith Community. I trusted and worked with the Laws more frequently than breaking myself against them! I connected with like-minded people. I learned from mentors. I became a mentor. My return on investments increased. And now, I look back, not only did I end up earning a six-figure income, I earned a residual six-figure income! As Leslie Housholder said, “We get what we want, or something better!” The better always came when I let go of the “how” and trusted God knew what was best for me.
