Maybe One Day
“Maybe one day.”
I've heard from many of you that you want to be a high achieving signing agent, while doing more fulfilling things in life or for your family, but then you say:
Is it possible to shift your mind to make this change happen? The key to everything, including self-discipline and getting what you want out of life is in how you treat your mind or your thoughts about something.
Mind over matter turns out to be true. If you let your thoughts control you, you will struggle to get what you want from life. But if you understand how your mind actually works and how you most of the time it only wants to keep you safe, you will become the master of your habits.
Remember, just like when you sit in front of a computer at work, you’re the one in charge, you’re the one in the driver’s seat, you’re the one in control. And it’s exactly the same for your mind, you’re the boss, all you have to do is begin to understand how it all works if you want to achieve your dreams. How often do you say that to yourself?
"It's not the right time...later...maybe one day".
So, when IS the "RIGHT TIME” to be a signing agent?
Are you going to be happy if your life stays the same 6 or 12 months from now? Or 2 or 5 years from now?
I know what it's like to want to wait for perfect timing, and feel like "the time isn't right"...
You see, I made some big changes over the last 6-9 months with how I was showing up in my signing agent business. It was a very deep and emotional process.
At the beginning, I felt it was going to be too much to handle, and I considered stopping work with signing services, thought about waiting to market myself, considered saying "no" to opportunities, and even thought about putting my vacation totally on hold for a few months.
So I moved forward, continued to manage my mind, work with my business coaches, kept at taking care of my well-being, and was okay with letting some things slide and not being perfect ... knowing that as long as I kept moving forward, it would work out.
I did not wait or pause or quit on myself. I actually found balance and ease with my perfectionist mind.
Here's the truth:
Being the perfectionists that you are, there is never a "right time" to invest in yourself, focus on your self-care, ask for that signing that scares you, market to a new business, etc.
There is never a "right time" to get certification training, or finally get on their preferred list of signing agents.
There is never a "right time" to go after a dream income goal, or share your calendar for the week.
There's never a "right time" to work with a mentor to help you reach your goals.
Life is like waves in the ocean, the contraction and expansion of our breath, winter and spring, ups and downs, busy and bored, intense and easy. Everything always ebbs and flows in our lives.
Will your "right time" be right now...Confidence is an important part of having your success. Everything that got you to where you are, means you have to change your thoughts in order to make it happen. Make decisions that move you forward each day. Awareness and having a confidence mindset applies to both new and seasoned signing agents alike.
You get to decide. You know you are meant for more. Even if you’re an introvert.
Even if you’re afraid. Even if you’ve never done anything like this before. You could do this!
Until next week, friend!
