Episode Synopsis
Title: Don’t give up the power that is meant to be yours!
Do you influence from a place of power or force??? Family, kids, work, employees, coworkers, sales, health... this is a game changer in how you and I show up.
THE STORY: As I walked I kept losing signal messing up the flow of listening to the Warrior Audio App.
Challenged I started to question why the hell do I walk everyday with the weight.
In these moments I know its a glitch in my mindset and that I need to keep pushing forward. Crazy thing is that frustration built the platform for a powerful revelation.
In business, in body, in being ( spiritual ) and balance ( family )
Where do I step from a place of earned power - where do I force life.
Initially this idea of power vs force was focused on promoting what we represent in business.
A buyer who is promoted to from a place of power is very different than force.
Shifting gears on my walk I listened to yet another powerful audio in the Warrior app covering the idea of being real, raw, relevant and how those three ideas greatly impact our - results.
Here’s where it all came together
I believe in life there are those that build, those that fix and those that drive.
I considered a car and hesitantly thought ... I could build a car, I could fix a car but I really want to drive the car.
You might be asking at this point ... what the hell is he talking about...
Here’s what brought this to a point of - ah ha.
The night prior to walking I was working on my business creating a simple website and after 2 hours of time invested I was done. Very basic but clean. This triggered me as I was listening to the idea of power and force.
You see I was forcing myself to do the work when somebody else was really meant to do that work.
** now - I get at times we have to make but I dont think that should be the justified story for us living a life untrue to our purpose. The car had me thinking about a site I was working on - I spent two hours last night created something that was not my calling to make. I can force it but the process and time invested will not yield the return in comparison to investing in the person that was meant to build it. Keep in mind I got a great tip from a brother within Warrior and found a powerful option to hire someone which I will but I failed to step from a place of power and forced the wrong action.
How does this all come together?
Power is knowing our purpose and what we are meant to do.
Force is attempting to take action in the wrong part of the creating.
In everything we do - question... Am I meant to build this ( car, website, funnel, service )
Am I meant to fix what is broken or need of adjusting?
Am I meant to drive ( the car, the traffic, the message )
Why is this relevent?
We must force ourselves to do the work on our own......
Or must force ourselves to invest in others so that we can in turn invest our time and energy where it’s meant to be.
Power is soul purpose driven!
Force is when we are out of sync with our calling.
