Start small with BIG dreams Chapter 13’s ‘Two-Minute Rule’ is a method to overcome procrastination. There are an almost infinite number of reasons why we procrastinate and put off doing the things we KNOW we should be doing, and this is just one way to help combat that. The idea is to start any new habit in just two minutes. It’s about lowering the barrier to entry. Who can’t do something for 2 minutes – even something that might be new and a bit scary? But once you’ve ticked it off and done that 2 minutes – it's a total game-changer. What’s something you’ve been putting off that you could spend just 2 minutes doing?

“The client saw it and they’re pissed.” A mistake I’ll never forget. And a sentence that will always make my stomach turn. Like opportunities, mistakes are waiting at every corner. Some big. Some small. Both inevitable. I used to hate making mistakes.  As soon as I realized I had made one, my cheeks would be on fire, I would start to sweat and my heart would beat a mile a minute. Once I could no longer deny their inevitability, I knew I had to do something to make them useful. Now when I make a mistake I implement the CAA roadmap: ↪Collect  ↪Analyze  ↪Act So maybe mistakes still set my cheeks on fire. But they also fuel my growth. What’s one way you make sure you’re learning from mistakes? ----- 👋 Nice to meet you, I’m Xenia. From 'success on paper' to building a more intentional life.

Being bad at something and failure is the cost of entry to accomplishing ANYTHING. The good part about that is, you will improve and develop your skills. So instead of letting our egos kill our momentum, let’s dig deeper. The truth is failure is simply a detour on the road to mastery. Think about it, every great artist was once an amateur, every successful entrepreneur faced setbacks, and every expert was once a beginner. It's the willingness to endure the discomfort of being a novice that transforms ordinary individuals into extraordinary achievers. So, release yourself from the shackles of perfectionism and the fear of inadequacy. Allow yourself to be a beginner. The path to greatness is paved with the bricks of failure. Embracing failure and novelty is how I’ve been able to achieve success in my business and develop the strategies that facilitate my clients receiving breakthroughs in areas where they felt limited and now feel empowered.

We often hear the phrase "use your 9-5 to fund your 5-9," but what does that really mean? For me, it’s about turning passion into progress. The 9-5 is what fuels the vision providing resources, stability, and the skills to create something bigger. Your 5-9? That’s where dreams start taking shape, whether it’s a side hustle, learning new skills, or building a business. But the ultimate goal? Once that 5-9 is built, it becomes your 24/7 the thing you wake up excited about every day. It’s where the real passion lives and what ultimately becomes your life's work. So, if you’re working your 9-5 right now and hustling on the side, keep going! The road from side hustle to full-time passion is long, but every step is worth it. Stay persistent, trust the process, and one day, your 5-9 will be the foundation of your 24/7.

THE REALITY OF NEW BEGINNINGS I feel like we don't talk enough about how uncomfortable it is to start a fresh. What it requires from you and how it shapes your character. We easily celebrate the concept of change but don't ponder on how much work and metamorphosis is required before we feel anything close to comfort or a sense of belonging. In chapter seven of his book 'Disruptive Thinking', Bishop TD Jakes shares a few nuggets on how to navigate new beginnings. Being a newbie, I'm practically living most of these lessons. We must be willing to be small again. If we are to master our new role we have to depend on others to teach us how things are done. You could have been the best in your previous role but you have to be teachable in order to master your new role. We have to patiently go through the listening stage, learning stage and finally the leading stage. You have to be observant and read the energy in the room. The energy in the new room will be different from the previous room. So patiently observe and learn how the Romans roll. Be prepared for criticism, attack and condemnation. Not everyone will be patient with you as you learn the new ropes. Some will expect you to come fully experienced and be delivering results as soon as yesterday. That's not always the case so stay prepared. The fastest way to get to any place is slowly. As a newbie, give yourself a lot of grace. There's pressure to prove that you know what you are doing but it's okay to not know. Take time to learn, you'll become a master with time. You'll have to read the whole book to get the juice😀 If you're a newbie like me, I see you! Let grace carry you! PS: Disruptive Thinking is on top of the list of books that changed my life. It gave me permission to bet on myself when I truly needed to. Read it! #disruptivethinking #disruptiveroles #newbeginnings #lifesrealities #newbies #thoughtleader #booklover #bookreview

Your thoughts are that and that only. They only have meaning when you assign it. Your thoughts are not always the truth. You have the power to choose! Choose wisely. A key code I have been developing is to consciously create my life based on my thoughts. #thoughtpatrol #YouHavethePower #keycodes #breakfree

I built this last week when my new case arrived . After spending time with Independent Thinking I have come back to figure out what it can tell me about me… and here it is! Could be a cocktail bar… but enabling with love.. the red base, empowering purpose and growth..crown and tree, creating joy.. the yellow bricks- it’s Boundless Learning! Now to work out the orange brick-maybe it’s my Superpower, red and yellow make orange-CREATIVITY! Finally pondering the white bricks… clarity of purpose? Starting the process , layer in creativity, joy and connection, leads you to growth, achievement and empowerment. I am a commitment to empowering purpose and achievement/ success through creativity and joyful learning, all wrapped up in love- emotional connection with self and others… this is true self worth! #Purpose #Reflection

I’ve been and will be speaking about purpose, personal truth and legacy a LOT. That’s because it matters. All of my clients who’ve made massive leaps on their income have all had to “step aside” if you will from the business, the day to day, the hustle and contemplate who they really are and what they want their LIFE and impact to look like and how to build a business that supports it. Sometimes that means spending a lot of time in personal soul searching (although the horses can collapse that time frame by helping you tap into your parasympathetic nervous system and digging into your subconscious 🙂. ) , making tough and scary decisions followed by action. Other times it means getting clear on who you really want to serve and having the courage to say NO to less than ideal clients even though they’re paying the bills (been there, it’s pretty scary…but ultimately worth it) Other times it’s about pivoting, or shedding streams of income that suck your soul dry - also scary, but incredible what opens up. It could be about becoming a thought leader and risking being laughed at and failing. Theres oh so many “things” on the path to mastery, each as unique as the individual......and one thing is always a common thread - it’s about unapologetically embracing your magnificence. And yes, we need to knock out some biz nuts and bolts too ....the only reason it seems like an after thought - it’s not- is because you need to be on the right path first, to determine the right strategy

There are, to my understanding, four steps to results. 1) Initial thought- this is when the seed of an idea pops into your head 2) Level 2 thought- when we mentally expand the idea in our mind 3) Inspiration/motivation- the drive to shift gears from thought to action, from park to drive 4) Action- the physical or mental steps we take toward our desired goals All too often, we get stuck in park. We want and desire to have but avoid the actual work, the actual actions, needed to achieve what we are actively seeking. Inspiration or motivation can come from many places. Hopefully, this post itself gave you a boost! Wherever it comes from, whatever it is, find it and grab a hold of it. So many people have strong desires and wish for more in their lives, but let all the wishes stay in their imagination. If you want to turn over the field, stop thinking about it. It’s time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do what you are setting out to do.
