We want to feel confident in the direction of our lives and who we are becoming. ⤴️ I can make that bold claim because that’s exactly where I was in early 2023. I was stuck. That’s when I began a daily practice that reinforced my desired identity. It began to strengthen every area of my life. But it didn’t stop with me. I shared my method with a friend who was transitioning from a high-level executive position to entrepreneurship. He was skeptical at first, but upon adopting his own statements, he saw remarkable changes. His confidence soared, and his new business took off in ways he hadn’t imagined. My method is different because it taps into the foundational principle of identity. It’s straightforward. It’s about creating a daily practice that reinforces your desired identity and affirms who you want to be. We’ll be meeting live on Zoom for four sessions, and I’ll teach you my method so you can craft your own statements that reflect who you are becoming. Everyone who joins will discover… 👉 Why understanding your identity is critical for long-term peace 👉 What you’re doing right now that is causing resistance 👉 What to do when you're lacking motivation to continue toward your desired goal 👉 Why a daily practice is important (no matter where you may be physically and/or emotionally) 👉 And more.
