Join the Friends CircleHave you ever noticed that as soon as you mention your goals or talk of the new ventures you’re starting, that the naysayers seem to come from everywhere?
Well-intentioned friends, co-workers and family members alike, all seem to become more focused on reminding us of past hurts and failures, than truly supporting us in our undertakings. And even though this is an attempt to save us from being hurt or experiencing let-downs, the problem with this “saving us from ourselves” support is that it doesn’t feel very supportive. For the most part, it’s usually de-motivating and leaves us feeling frustrated, discouraged and basically anything but inspired to continue on with what we set out to accomplish. And, if we manage to shield our tender inspiration from this outpouring of negative support, and even somehow make it to the point where we start seeing results for our efforts, often we then find ourselves feeling rather isolated because we have no one to share our success with. Those early steps into a new way of being can be a lonely experience: Feeling like you don’t yet “fit” into where you’re going; but, that you no longer belong in the world you’re stepping out of. I call this feeling like you’re “zigging” when all that you’ve previously known is a world of “zagging”. Have you ever experienced this? If you can relate to this and have ever found yourself feeling this way, believe it or not, you’re not alone. In fact, this is the concern I hear most often from people starting out on this path of self discovery and transformation. In reply, I always suggest that people get connected to fellow “ziggers”. And this idea of connecting with like-minded people who are interested in success was the inspiration for the Friends Circle. It’s still a work-in-progress but my vision is to have a Phenomenal Friends Forum (which will either be a private forum right here or a private "invite only" group on Facebook And because this is your Friends Circle, I'd like to know what you'd like to see. So just under the sign up box to the right is an area where you can tell me what you would like. Please feel free to vote and share your ideas with me on how I can make this work for you. But regardless of how it shapes up, the intention is to connect you with people taking the very steps you are: People who will support and encourage you; people who understand exactly where you’re at and what you’re going through. Also, I'll share un-published specials and discounts here in the Friends Circle, but you'll need to be a Friend to receive them. So take a moment to sign up now and I'll send along a copy of my mini-course Change Your Words to Change Your Life as a thank you. |
