Be Who You Are and Do What You Love

[james l]

Hi Michael,
Loved the show you had with Marc Allen.
I have been racking my brain for my WOW... I like so many others want to have at least 20 million dollars to do whatever I want whenever I want ...even do nothing for awhile. I affirm this all the time. I know I am missing a piece to the puzzle, the how to get this money..I play the Powerball twice weekly...and imagine winning it all the time. My second biggst WOW would be to be like your friend the successful internet marketer( you spoke of sking together) and make tons of money from anywhere. There are so many rip-off internet marketing gigs out there...Do you have any ideas for me. I just want to work a great business from home and have the freedom to do what I want.....And should I quit intending to win the powerball???

Hey, James -

The thing so many people struggle with is that they turn their 'wants' into 'have to's and then wonder why it's not fun anymore!  Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with intending to win the powerball unless you're postponing your happiness and dreams until after you win.  (Also, if you're buying tickets instead of food, that's not a great plan...  )

Start small and trust your inner knowing.  What would you love to do today?  This week?  This month?  As you ask, listen to and act on your inner knowing, it will become easier and easier to navigate the maze of choices in the outside world!

Happy exploring,
michael

Hey, James -

I've mostly learned by finding things I'm drawn to look at, read and buy and extrapolating from any patterns there.  Haven't gone on any one course I can recommend, though if you're up for a more agressive (and honestly, probably more high profit!) approach than mine, check out Cory Rudl (now deceased, sadly) and Bill Phillips.

Happy exploring,

This show is also one of my favorites. I like the idea of being able to succeed by being lazy and persistent.

I've been trying to figure out my wows too -- for the past two years! And, I've gotten it to a manageable amount.  I'll be writing goal statements next!

The sad thing about learning to be who you are, and doing what you love, is that sometimes family and friends can think that you are being selfish and they can almost resent the "new" you that emerges from this personal voyage of discovery!!

Sad, but true....still its a toughening thing to go through and you emerge feeling stronger.

Onwards and upwards!!

Hey, Jualsy -

It's challenging when someone steps outside the norm - some people fear that youwill leave them behind; others feel that annoying tug when a dream they'd put to sleep begins to stir in resonance with yours.  The two best 'cures' I've found:

1. Keeping the lines of communication open and talking all this stuff through as it's happening
2. Living joyfully - when you are in love with your life, that sets up a resonance that awakens the love in the people around you.

As a friend of mine recently told me, 'my peace is my family's peace'.

Happy exploring,
michael
