Hi Friend,

A couple of months ago I embarked on a journey that I would not have taken in the past. I've put myself in the thick of discomfort, hard-work and accountability; I hired a business coach.

I was sick and tired of trying to move forward with my business just to realize there was ONE more piece of the virtual entrepreneurship puzzle that was still missing. I was continually investing in myself and my business but I can see now that I was still playing it safe. The things I really needed to do (get out there, be more visible) were the things that scared the crap out of me and so... I continued to look at every other means to an end. I continually felt like I was failing and that sense of failure was making me think to give up. Yes! I actually thought of walking away from my dream to impact and serve as many people as possible with my message of what's truly possible in life.

It amazes me to think that fear-of-failure was holding me back from the one dream I've had inside of me for 25 years and that led me out of the safety of my professional career.

Then one day I got mad! I thought "wait a minute, is this the same person who overcame enormous childhood trauma in life? Who held prestigious titles and excelled in many challenging roles? Who installed multi-million dollar hospital information systems, or educated top medical experts in JCAHO-mandated initiatives? This is the person who wants to throw in the towel because she's afraid of reaching out, asking for help, learning the technology, making the connections, getting out there? Oh heck no!!!"

So now, I'm doing everything I've been afraid to do and if I fail, I will fail forward. I will be better for taking the risks and the outcomes will teach me the next lesson (as there are always more) and I will course-correct again and again until...

What have you been afraid to do in your life? What risk do you need to take in order to expand who you are? Find a way to push past your fear and step-up! Your life is waiting!!!

Today's blog will help you to see that there really is no such thing as failure, only outcomes.

To your life!!

Fail Forward

Thomas Edison, one of the best-known innovators in American history, is credited with the invention of the light bulb. However, it didn’t come to him in a flash of inspiration…like a light bulb over his head. It came to be after many failed attempts.

During the middle of his grueling experimentation process, an assistant commented on “yet another failure,” to which Edison replied, “I have not failed. I just found 10,000 ways that don’t work.”

Many failures are stepping stones to successful endeavors.

What People Are Saying

I had read tons of self-help books and subscribed to several motivational blogs and email blasts searching for the light of hope that would push me closer to attaining my career goals, but nothing seemed to get me far enough away from jumping right back on the roller-coaster of fear. I was ready to give up until I remembered Elena sent me a postcard directly after meeting her at a networking event. Something kept tugging at my heart to call her. I can say, without a doubt, it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. She is such a beautiful soul! Through her coaching, guidance, and support, I’m becoming more aware, continuing to develop and mature thru self-love exercises; I’m gaining inward and outward compassion and I've even started to attract more abundance and positive experiences, which is helping to boost my self-confidence. Fear is a hard one to let go of but with Elena’s guidance and support, it has been much more attainable than going it alone. I highly recommend Elena, and if you’re willing to do the work, you’ll finally meet the authentic-you!
