Are You Creating The Future You Want
Powerful statement, Are you creating the future you want?
Whether your are a Home Engineer, Entrepreneur, or work within someone else’s corporate structure I DARE YOU TO ASK YOURSELF, “Am I creating the future I want?”
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment you first find yourself in.” ~ Mark Caine
Creating the future you want is not a narcissistic question so allow yourself to release any “selfish” notion with the question. Creating the future you want is growing your potential in the right environment. Your environment is made up of your daily agenda, people, places, and things.
- Yourself: Few people will share your enthusiasm for growth and moving up and out. Here are a few statements to focus on for your self-growth and creating a positive environment(can also be applied to your home or work team): 1) Others are ahead of me (if you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room 2) You are continually challenged 3) Your surroundings are affirming 4) You are out of your comfort zone, DAILY 5) You wake up excited 6) Failure is embraced and not your enemy 7) Others around you are growing 8) Growth is modeled and expected .
Whether you are a success or failure in life has little to do with your circumstances; it has much more to do with your choices.” ~ Nido Qubein
- People: This truly is the law of sacrifice as to go up we must give up and often this means relationships and or an environment holding us back. Jim Rhone states, “We become like the five people we spend the most time with.” Ask yourself, are there people in your top five
holding you back? These people determine as much as 95% of your success or failure in life. This is one of the hardest because you need to sacrifice time spent with people you know and love. However, you do not have to “dump” them just spend less time and create a reference group who will challenge you to be more tomorrow than you are today! My personal best is when I spend time with my mastermind group, they model all of the 8 areas referenced in the YOURSELF category and I am my best when others around me are growing!
You cannot take this journey alone, not if you want to reach your potential. The most significant factor in any person’s environment is the people. If you change nothing else in your life for the better than that, you will have increased your changes of success tenfold. So think long and hard about who you’re spending the most time with, for where ever they are headed, so are you. ~ John Maxwell
- Focus: “Today is when everything that’s going to happen from now on beings.” ~ Harvey Firestone Jr. A great lesson is what is the happiest moment of your life? The answer, right now! Focus is moving forward today despite yesterday, this morning, or whatever is in your mind, body, or spirit holding you back. Don’t wait for change to happen, focus on the change and take one step forward. Just as a little one learning to walk, you will be wobbly, fall, and perhaps get scraped up. However, when when taking charge, laugh, and learn from the wobbly-fall you quickly find a way to RUN!
The bitter ingredient in your future is the unwillingness to try: If you do not try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you receive. ~ Tracy Worley
Self leadership is the start to creating the success you desire and creating a dynamic team of leaders who will succeed beyond your “business-plan” expectations. I am sure this peaked your interest . . . “succeed beyond business-plan?” Yes, and if you want to find out more please feel free to contact me because what keeps your team alive is you!

Consistency Leads To a Life of Signifigance
Motivation gets you going-Discipline keeps you growing ~ John C. Maxwell
Motivation is an internal mechanism of forward action. Many people ask if I am a “motivational” speaker. My answer is I inspire and empower individuals and organizations with tools to move forward to the next level; motivation belongs to you.
Today as I was hiking with my husband and administrative staff (two border collies), the law of consistency was on my mind. Our time together is consistent and we have created a life of significance of seeing wonders of the world other people will never see in their life time. My question to you, what are you taking consistent time out for to create a life of significance?
Through motivation is the action of consistency and consistency gets you to where you want to grow and go! I love E.M. Gray’s statement, “The successful person has the habit of doing the things that failures don’t like to do. The successful person doesn’t like doing them either, but his dislike is subordinates to the strength of his purpose.”
Consistency creates the balance of expanding your possibilities while compounding experience to your gifts, talents, strengths, and a life of significance.
You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction. ~ George Lorimer
Satisfaction creates significance in your life and as my friend and mentor John Maxwell tells me often is once you taste significance there is no going back.
To create consistent motivation start by setting goals that are worthwhile and achievable. I loved playing basketball up until eighth grade, I just could not keep up with the taller players and it became evident basket ball was not my gift. So I concentrated on track and soccer which I was able to set consistent goals and were achievable because these activities fit within my physical and natural talent.
Mastering the basics creates the small disciplines to great achievements gained over time. Essentially this is creating habits and attitudes in personal and professional life. I was on a call a few weeks ago and the discussion was HABITS. It is hard to break habits and it is easier to start new ones which in time forces the bad-habits or lack of consistency out of your life. Brian Tracy also talks about habits, “From the time you get up in the morning to the time you go to sleep at night, your habits largely control thee words you say, the things you do, and thee ways you react and respond.”
Consistency is not easy so do what will work for you and instead of setting goals, focus on growth in areas of your gifts, talents, and strengths.
If you develop the habits of success, you’ll make success a habit. ~ Michael Angier
Stay engaged with your daily calendar, use a timer if you need to stay focused within a certain period and turn off all other distractions. This one change of focus to your consistency in completing daily goals will set success as a habit!

Reflection Leads To Purpose
Reflection and purpose are not a usual combination when writing about Leadership, and most importantly leadership of self.
The top 1% of entrepreneurs take time daily to sit in silent reflection and think into their business, life, teams, families, projects, etc. . . bringing about pro-active success vs. re-active chaos.
In a previous post I wrote about your gifts, talents, and strengths and this is where you have the ability to take the time to stay on purpose for the things you were created to do. This is on of my favorite statements and profoundly when I take time in my daily agenda I do stay on purpose toward personal and team goals.
As John C. Maxwell shares with us The Law of Reflection, I find this is the lesson to dig deep if you are going to win big! Clarity found in reflection brings the habit of evaluating experience (wins and fails) to a higher awareness of next steps toward success. Below are example of the power of pausing and reflection for yourself and your team :
- Reflection turns experience into insight
- Everyone needs a time and place to pause
- Pausing with intention expands and enriches thinking
- When you take time to pause, use your I’s (Investigation, Incubation, Illumination, Illustration)
- Good questions are thee heart of reflection (become that “kid” who asks WHY
WHY is the power tool in your leadership tool kit. Honestly, I have never grown out of asking why to myself and also in the board-room. Why is the most powerful tool because we dig so deep into awareness and intention the ‘aha moments become addictive. The addiction is not a bad word here but you must be careful in how you ask WHY because it is attached to ego which is reflective of our emotions, motives, and accountability. When you start asking why people on your team will embrace it or hate it! I believe if our corporate culture asked more WHY organizations would not have or continue to fail their own mission, vision, and ultimately fail their customers.
- Make time in your daily agenda for reflection
- Allow time in your teams daily agenda for reflection
Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. ~ Tony Robbins
I remember a story explorer Albert Schwetizer shared. On a long journey through Africa their group was pushing hard to reach their final destination. During this trip all of the natives with their group stopped, just stopped. Albert inquired about the delay and the response is priceless; we have been traveling so fast they must rest to let their souls catch up with them.
Reflection allows your mind, heart, body, and soul to align and let your purpose catch up to the things you were created to do.

Look In The Mirror, You Have value!
Value of self is leading and believing, and knowing you are worth the resources to develop your potential! ~ Tracy Worley
My mentor John C. Maxwell talks a bout the Law of The Mirror where you must see value in yourself to add value to yourself. “If you put a small value on yourself, rest assured the world will not raise the price.” ~ John C. Maxwell
Value, Value, Value. . . imagine walking down a busy street market where the vendors are shouting out the value of their precious meats, produce, and wears. As you hear the vendors shouting value in the back of your mind you know what the true value is for a pineapple so are you is going to give you true market value for it? Are you going to ‘haggle’ for a lower price than the true value of the vendors cost?
Now imagine walking down the same market street where the vendors are shouting out what your value is. Yes, this is tricky isn’t it? Ninety percent of my coaching clients are in transition from starting their own business or leveling up to a promotion. The most important exercise we work on is their MIRROR MARKET VALUE. Personal perception is the #1 stumbling block to successful people asking for what they are worth and moving into positions they deserve.
To find your MIRROR MARKET VALUE here are a few steps and questions to ask yourself along the way. Honestly, the main reason people fail is low self-esteem. Where are you as a leader and how and what can you do moving forward to lift your team to the next level? A start is to go through the following.
- Look In The Mirror: Who are you, what are you doing today, and where do you want to go? Truly it is the exercise of “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall who has value amongst you all? ANSWER: YOU!
- Self-Esteem: Zig Ziglar states it best, “It’s impossible to consistently behave in a manner inconsistent with how we see ourselves. We can do very few things in a positive way if we feel negative about ourselves.”
- Self-Talk: If you are positive, then you can help to create a positive self image.
- Comparison Trap: Stop comparing yourself to others! We are all uniquely and individually made! Go back to your strengths, gifts, and talents; I guarantee there is no other just like you!
- Limiting Beliefs & False Truth: Identify a limiting belief, determining how it limits your success, decide how you want to be, act, or feel, and then create a statement to move up and out of the limit. I call this “truth”, so often we accept a false truth in our life which in turn prohibits our growth. Perhaps in stead of limiting belief, ask yourself what is a truth I am accepting that is false.
- Add Value To Others: It is hard to feel, act, or think lowly of ourselves when we do something good for someone else. When I work with clients in transition of their next job and t hey have “free” time. It is easy to feel down as your day is no filled with meetings and productive outcomes. The first thing I have them do is volunteer! Yes, find an organization you believe in and volunteer. This keeps your happy endorphin’s activated until you are fully engaged in your next position.
- Discipline: Oh NELLY, this is not one of my favorite words but essential to success in any area of your life. Discipline is a morale builder; boost yours by taking small steps daily to take you in a positive direction..
- Vision Your Value: Having a positive vision of your life and taking action to fulfill your vision, you will recognize what matters to your value, gifts, talents, and SUCCESS.
- Responsibility: Responsibility gives us control toward the positive MIRROR MARKET VALUE we desire and deserve. You matter. Your live an have, and you can make a difference-no matter where you have been or where you are today!
Back To The Market: imagine holding a shield with all the above written on it, it is your MIRRORED SHIELD OF MARKET VALUE! When the vendors are shouting what your value is they now see a reflection of confidant belief you matter and worth the Market Value of YOU!

Awareness = Dream Toward Your Purpose
Who are you? What do you do? Where do you work?
The above area all questions we ask ourselves but also what we ask others at social events, networking, or even back yard BBQ’s. To know yourself and to know others is to create abundant AWARENESS of who you are and why you MATTER!
To reach your full potential is to have a direction in who and what to pour into your life. To grow is to also know and find the following to set the direction forward.
- Your Strengths: Play and work within your strengths, there are so many assessments out there you can take. The best way to hone in on your strengths is what do people as you for help with the most?
- Your Weaknesses: Know what they are and then delegate! Example: if you are not savvy with social-media find someone who is and spend your time doing what you do best!
- Your Interests: What do you love doing above anything else, what articles to you find yourself reading, what are you mentoring others to excel in?
- Your Opportunities: Where are you now and what opportunities are open to you excelling? Are there activities and or relationships holding you back from the next level of your succcess? This is a whole other topic and the law of sacrifice as to go up you must give up. T
To reach your full potential you must work through the above area’s as you must know where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.
“Potential²= knowing where you are and where you are going.” ~ Tracy Worley
Becoming aware of self is to find your purpose, passion, and make a plan! There is a formula to finding out your plan for success you desire and deserve! We invite you to join us for an 8 week course where you will not only increase your awareness but also walk away with your personal plan to be, do, and have what you DESERVE! Here are a few questions to ask yourself as we move forward with this series:
- Are you personally aware?
- Do you like what you are doing now?
- What would you like to do?
- Can you do what you would like to do?
- Do you know why you want to do what you would like to do?
- Do you know what to do so you do what you want to do? Awareness/Action/Accountability/Attraction
- Do you know people who do what you’d like to do?
- Should you do what you would like to do with them? Mentor/Mentee
Are you willing to pay the price to be fully aware of your gifts, strengths, and talents? In any change the reality is fear and doubt as we live in our current state of “security” but at the end of the day you will remain STUCK until you are willing to pay the price to starting living a life of PURPOSE instead of a life of someone else’s plan.
If you don’t you’ll have to prepare to give up your dreams and any hope of reaching your potential.
START TODAY! Great way to start is to plug into our 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth 8 Week program. Still not sure then listen to my Radio session on The Law of Intentionality.

Thinking Partner Day
I am instituting this is NATIONAL THINKING PARTNER DAY!
I want to celebrate by asking you. . . ARE YOU THINKING INTO YOUR SUCCESS?
The main benefit to thinking into your success is you create a proactive life vs. a reactive life. Yes, when we spend time everyday thinking about our success it creates the synergy of laying the track before you arrive at the destination of desired success. The other main benefit is creating life-long friendships when you bring THINKING PARTNERS into your life. Thinking partner’s keep you in focus of your WHY and ask you the tough questions to keep you in focus.
Today as I look at my calendar and also few unscheduled calls are people who are strategic thinking partners toward the success of my personal and professional life. They all invest in my WHY and allow me to invest in their WHY! Here are a few ways to identify and or “hire” your Thinking Partners!
- Do they have knowledge and willing to give/receive effort toward a definitive purpose?
- Do they have an abundant mindset vs. a competitive mindset (ill they lift you to succeed over their desire,)?
- Will they refers clients to you even if it is a project they could also bid for?
- They have same energy level or higher (this is imperative to stay lifted and growing).
- Are they available for you to daily ask “what do you think about this”?
- Do they have the results in this area I am working on?
- Ask questions, questions, questions (pushes you to next level).
- Can you plan with strategy with support of failing and willing? Modified from Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich
Anybody can wish for riches, and most people do, but only a few know that a definite plan, plus a burning desire for wealth, are the only dependable means of accumulating wealth. Napoleon Hill
Thank you ladies for bringing STRATEGY AND THINKING into my life!
UPDATE: I tapped into one of my Mentorship calls with Paul Martinelli this morning and the subject of thinking partners and who is in your life was the subject matter. What you think, believe, and create a harmony with is what will pour into your life! I had a question and contract I am working on; I asked Paul one question and in the awareness he brought up a simple state I would not have immediately seen because I was aware of one ‘track’ and not laying forward the other pieces.
