Monday Motivation - I am a leader inspiring others with my courage and determination to succeed.

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

Happy Monday Reader!

Do you consider yourself a leader?

We are always setting an example for others around us, whether you're actively in a "leadership role" at work or in the community, or not. Friends, coworkers, kids, family...others are constantly watching what we do. And it's why we have the saying "actions speak louder than words"!

Today's affirmation encourages us to embrace our leadership role, no matter how big or small or visible it is:

"I am a leader inspiring others with my courage and determination to succeed."

For most of us, building a business and life we enjoy doesn't fall into our lap. It's challenging. It makes us want to give up sometimes. We're on a rollercoaster of intense highs & lows.

Our determination is the key to moving forward despite the challenges & low points.

I'll be honest--I struggled with determination to succeed last week again. (It was bad enough that I just edited our affirmation to remove the word "fearless," because I am not fearless in my business or my life! And I think that's ok. Some fear is healthy.)

Being scared or nervous doesn't have to stop us from acting with courage and determination however. We can hold both emotions at the same time.

And doing the hard things while scared is the most courageous act of all.

So if you too kept going last week despite shit hitting the fan, despite disappointments, despite whatever challenges the universe threw in your path, acknowledge your courageous work by repeating our affirmation 21 times every day this week:

"I am a leader inspiring others with my courage and determination to succeed."

And for the record? Even just staying alive is a courageous act some days, so if that's all you accomplished last week too, I'm still proud of you!

As always, affirmations work best when you truly believe them. They need to resonate with you and feel achievable. So feel free to modify any I suggest, or develop entirely new ones!

Say them as long as you want. I'm sharing a new affirmation each week, but that doesn't mean you have to switch it up each week unless it feels right. You can add new ones as often as you want and have as many as you want. You can say a different affirmation every day, or at different times of the day. You choose!

I'd love to hear the impact it has! (But if you decide affirmations are not for you, click here to be removed from this weekly email.)

I hope this affirmation sets you up for a kick ass week and I'll see you next Monday for a new one to try!

Happy Monday Reader! Do you have a scarcity or an abundance mindset? If you're like me, the answer may change depending on the week! (Or even the hour some days.) When we have a scarcity mindset we operate our business from fear. We worry new clients or opportunities won't show up. That our past or current success was a fluke. That it can all disappear without notice. TBH, being in scarcity mindset sucks. And we might not feel like we can change it. We might believe living with scarcity is...

Happy Monday Reader! When I was a kid, we only listened to country music on the radio. I have extensive knowledge of 90s country--Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, you name it! There are so many songs I don't even remember I know all the words to...until they're coming out of my mouth as I sing along! But there's one song that is practically an anthem for my life. And not necessarily in a good way! 😅 Alabama's song "I'm in a Hurry" is referenced weekly in my house! Because I "rush &...
