I have been stuck

Here's what it takes to get unstuck Dear {NAME}, On May 2nd, I got a random, out of the blue text from one of my former clients. It said: “Hey, you’re gonna think I’m 100% insane but … I was invited to a mastermind retreat at a billionaire’s house this weekend … would you want to go with me?” My first thought was “no, I couldn’t possibly; that’s bananas, plus I’m taking my kids to a birthday party this weekend.” Then immediately after having that thought, I get a text from my best friend, Robert. It said: [Roberts Text] WOAH. He had no idea that my client had invited me to this retreat opportunity. I thought: is this my miracle that I am about to turn down? Here’s what happened next: I asked some follow up questions like “how many people are gonna be there?”, “are we sharing a room?”, “when does it start and end?” and “how much does it cost?” But honestly, none of that mattered. I could already feel my heart beating rapidly, the way it does when I am scared as hell but also excited because I am about to take a leap of faith. She answered my questions the best she could. And then I responded: “Fuck it, I’m in!” That’s how I wound up spending the weekend at Richard Branson’s house on Necker Island with a bunch of incredible Latin American entrepreneurs. You see, prior to that moment, I felt stuck in a rut. Yes, I have a successful business. Yes, I am a bestselling author. I definitely have a lot of things going for me but the truth is: I had been feeling lost. I love my business and I love my mission but I felt something shifting within me. I was changing as a person and I didn’t know what that meant for my professional life. I am so used to having a clear vision for the future. Very specific goals that I share with my team and then we march towards it together. But lately, there was no vision. I had achieved a lot and I didn’t know what was next. If I am honest, I had been feeling this way for at least a few months. Could I still successfully be a CEO if I have no vision to hand down to the team? If I’m feeling lost and apathetic, how can I inspire others? These were real questions I had been asking myself. It may not seem like a big deal but, for me, being lost and having no direction was really scary. I felt like I lost my mojo. I think everyone walks through the desert at some point and you never really know when it’s going to happen. So I could continue to feel lost, uninspired and directionless. Or … I could say yes to this opportunity that was placed in front of me. I was not a big fan of Richard Branson, as I know many people are. In fact, I was kinda side-eyeing the whole thing like … do I really want to learn from a white male billionaire that I’ve heard mixed reviews about? But something was telling me to go anyway. I didn’t want to turn down this opportunity to get my mojo back even if it meant being in the presence of someone I wasn’t sure I’d be aligned with. Can we talk about how your miracle will not always be delivered in a perfect package? It may stretch you and make you uncomfortable. In fact, in my experience, more often than not your miracle might be hard to say yes to. Well, as you now know, I went. I said yes. And it changed my life. [On Necker] The fellow attendees, the speakers, and yes, even Richard Branson, shared things with me that helped me see things differently. We had the most transformative experience and I learned so much from the smart, diverse executives at Virgin, who each did a training session with us. I was reminded of who I am and what I am here to do. I learned that the next level of my mission to help diverse people become millionaires through entrepreneurship was calling me. I could continue to stay stuck or I could answer the call. I left that retreat with immense clarity on my next steps. I am about to take Hello Seven to the next level and I have never been more excited and inspired to get to work. How about you? Are you feeling stuck? Are things not going your way? Have you felt loss lately? Or are you wondering what you’re even supposed to be doing? If that’s you, I want to send you an invitation just like my former client sent me. I want to encourage you to attend one of my book tour stops this week. These live events to celebrate my new book, Million Dollar Action, just might be the miracle you have been asking for. And, yes, you may have to stretch yourself or inconvenience yourself to make it happen. You may have to arrange a babysitter or go on a roadtrip or spend money on a night of hotel to do it … but what if it gives you your mojo back? What if it brings you back to life? Million Dollar Action isn’t just about taking action when you feel like it. Real Million Dollar Action is about taking action even when it’s a real stretch and even when it’s inconvenient as hell. Are you ready to say: “fuck it, I’m in”?
