I want to quote a couple mentors, some from many moons ago, others fairly recently:
“If what you are selling needs discipline, you have a problem. Sell the magic pill.”
“You can’t sell work, Michelle. No one buys it.”
And indeed, I’ve found some truth to these warnings.. There are SOME people who seem allergic to work… even appalled by any suggestion of consistent and relentless work. In March at our Women Who WOW LIVE event, I really broke some “rules” and encouraged women entrepreneurs to do DAILY work.
But, the thing is…
Women Who WOW embrace it.
Work… the daily hustle…
It’s all DESIGNED and INTENTIONAL.
We do “work” that we love,
that we’re passionate about.
And so, yeah…
we WORK.
And this little word — WORK — separates us from so many who are chasing unicorns and repeatedly buying magic pills.
Sure, we want it the way we want it.
And we want it ALL.
The business, the man, the freedom…
But we’re willing to WORK for it.
Daily.
The same, I’m proud to say, can be said of my kids.
One of the most frequent compliments I get about my kids is this, “I’ll give you this much: All of your kids will work.”
Well, thank you…
They actually enjoy work,
and love the independence of their own paycheck,
BUT, let’s be VERY clear:
It ain’t multiple choice.
Work is noble,
Work is honorable.
Work is appreciated.
And work is — make no mistake — expected.
Have you heard?
I’m leading a brand new program, Plan, Promote & PUSH 2018.
This will allow US to work together,
ME to hold you accountable,
and YOU to create your BEST year ever.
If you’re serious about what you want to create in 2018…. please take a look.
