Working Hard For Rock Star Status...

I have been working very hard lately. I know that I've been working hard because I actually feel like I've been working hard. I say this because for the longest time, especially after I had to close down my retail shop I  felt like I should be working harder, but I wasn't...I was depressed. My wife could see it, but I couldn't or rather I didn't want to.

After all my failures and false starts I ultimately didn't feel worthy of the success I knew was waiting for me. So I procrastinated, I delayed, I got busy with "busy" work and got the exact results I feared most...Stagnation. But as in all things, "this too shall pass" or at least it did for me. I took control of my once negative, self-doubting thoughts and decided what I wanted my life to look like. I decided that I needed a solid business vehicle to really jump start my journey. Found one.

Then I decided it was important for me to have a good team to work with, that could help take me where I wanted to go. And then one night I spent the better part of an hour on the phone with two wonderful women, who are part of the team I joined to build a business with. They are both successful to the tune of over several million dollars, and they took the time to educate me on how I could build my business better, stronger, and faster.

As I get ready to get into today, that experience with the leaders on my team reminds me a little of when I play Guitar Hero. Anita Fiouris and Susan Walsh represent the rock stars who laid down the sweet solos and excellent guitar rifts, and all I'm doing now is following along in their neon streaked paths to Rock God status.

I've decided that when I come to the end of this game. This fast paced, rolling thunder soundtrack that is my life, the clouds will open and the words "YOU ROCK!" will blaze across the sky. And Skynyrd's "Freebird" will play me on home.
