Am I to I Am June 11 2016

Am I to I Am June 11 2016

When was the last time you sat down and mapped out your life? It’s a big question isn’t it? If you don’t think its a big question, then think about if for a second… When was the last time you sat down and got in touch with what your dreams are, and how you’re going to get there? When was the last time you asked who you want to be? Most people never ask. Most are controlled by their circumstance, most don’t have a clear direction and if they do make any kind of clear direction, they do it on New Years Eve. They sit down and write out a couple things that they’d like to have; but it’s not a goal list. It’s a wish list, and come January 31st, most couldn’t even tell me what they wrote.

That’s the average person, that’s the 99.9%. Why?? Because life gets hold of us all. At one point in time we were all kids with dreams. We wanted to be amazing things. Maybe you wanted to be the President. Maybe you wanted to go to the moon. Whatever your goal was, it’s time you tapped into that again. It’s time to make your life a masterpiece, it’s time to take it seriously. You’ve got one life, and you have to make it a masterpiece. That’s what this event is all about.

The AM I to I AM event is an entire day where we sit down and figure out what is truly important to you, a day where you figure out what you want out of life, what you truly want, not what the world tells you you want. Maybe you want a deeper relationship. Maybe you want a deeper relationship with your kids, you want to be their biggest influence. Maybe you want to truly love your space in a way you have never loved before. Maybe its your finances, maybe its being in the best shape of your life and being able to compete in a fitness contest. Whatever it is, that’s what we are going to find out. That’s what you’re going to get in touch with. You’re going to write it down on piece of paper and more importantly. You’re going to take action towards that goal. You’re going to figure out what does it take to get where I want to be. That’s what this event is going to do.

If you were going to take a trip you would sit down and figure out your destination before you did anything else right? You would figure out where you were going and then you’d figure out how to get there. Well shouldn’t you be doing that with you with your life? YES. You should. This is your opportunity. This is your opportunity to make a decision because guess what…. Your destiny is shaped by every decision you make. You’re going to make a decision right now. You’re either going to leave this page or go on with your life; or you’re going to sign up now. If you decide to just move on; I truly wish you the best. I hope that everything works out for you; but the reality is that most people are going to live her and get to the end of another a year and you know whats going to of happened? 12 more mortgage payments, 200 trips taking the kids to school without ever really connecting with them and then they’re going to ask where the time went.

This is your opportunity to make a change. A serious life change. Join us at AM I to I AM. Get in a room with like minded people. Some of these people are flying in on their private jets; and I don’t say that to impress you. I say that to let you know that some of these people may have already accomplished what you are setting out to accomplish what you’re hoping to accomplish for yourself. I mean what are the big goals? Money, Relationships, and Fitness. What if you got in a room with people who have already got some of these things handled? Wouldn’t it be nice to ask them how they did it? Guess what. That’s not a road-map, that’s the GPS. That’s someone telling you exactly how to get there. Wouldn’t it be great to be in a room with people who could show you the way.

Your destiny is being shaped right now. Right in this moment you have a choice. You can go away, get caught up in life and then in a year from now you can ask what happened or you can put one day aside to figure out what you truly want and how you’re going to get there. This is your opportunity. Make the choice. I know I’m being really serious about this because it is a serious topic but I also want you to know that this event is a ton of fun, we have an absolute blast. Last time a girl literally left doing back-flips. I mean that’s an exciting moment. When you get so excited about something that you literally back-flip out of the place, that’s pretty cool. I’m not saying try a back-flip even if you don’t know how to back-flip when you get done with this event but I am saying you’ll be that excited! So sign up today! I look forward to seeing you. June 11 – The Hyatt Regency Sarasota – a beautiful place, beautiful venue, a great time and an opportunity to change your life. See you soon.

Remember Your Why

Remember Your Why: Staying Outcome Oriented For the Win

After we’ve set goals that align with our “I Am” statement we create task lists, or to-do lists, that we know (if we accomplish them) are going to get us there. Sometimes those task lists breakdown into even longer lists made up of even smaller tasks. What I want to remind you of today is that the GOAL is YOUR OUTCOME, the tasks are simply your vehicle to get there.

It’s all too easy to center our focus around TASKS and become task-oriented. But DON’T let the task become your outcome. You get in a car to GO someplace just like you complete tasks to GET somewhere. To get stuck in your task(s) is to stay in your car and never get to your destination… Don’t confuse your tasks with your goal.

It’s easy to become so focused on accomplishing our task that we forget our goal and get stuck in task loops, which is why I thought a keeping a Dream Book would be a good idea. My Dream Book is a place for me to keep a running list of all the things I want to do, be, and have in life. It’s also a place for me to analyze my current state and progress. If I make sure to stay tuned in to what I’m actually getting out of the tasks I accomplish, I’m more adaptable and I don’t catch myself getting stuck on my tasks like I used to.

Another thing I’ve been practicing to help me stay focused is starting off my day by giving it a mission statement. That mission statement reinforces my “I Am” statement / goal. I open up my daily planner and at the top here I write something like “Today I will….. Or Today I am….”

Now, what if the problem isn’t being in a task loop – what if the problem is that we have a hard time being consistent with our tasks? Or starting them at all? It’s natural to get distracted by how uncomfortable something is. Our bodies aren’t programmed to do more of what’s painful….There’s an opportunity in times like this too, to analyze and adapt….jot down in your planner what was painful today about what you had to do….try reframing the task as something you genuinely want to do because it will actually get you closer to your goal than not doing it at all… Revel in taking those steps, revel in taking the painful steps (like growing pains) and feel successful about the little changes you are making…jot down even your smallest successes in your planner And stay positive and focused on your outcome.

Am I? to I Am! January 2015

ami2iam banner 900
Hey there,

Hope all is well with you and that you’re taking each new day of the new year in stride! By now everyone should have received (or will soon receive) their Pre-Event Journal. Hopefully you’ve flipped through it and have already begun to jot notes down, but if you haven’t OPEN IT NOW. The beginning is a good place to start, but flip around and start wherever the thoughts begin flowing. More
