Do you know what holds you back from getting what you want in life?

You!

Yes, You!

90% of the time it’s your thoughts, fears, excuses, and your mindset that hold you back from everything you want to welcome into your life.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have heard, “Lori, you are so lucky. You get everything you want.”

There is truth in the above sentence, and yes, quite often I do get what I want, but let me assure you that I was not born with a lucky horseshoe up my a** (as one of my clients suggested just last week).

So, how is it that I’m so lucky then? Well, I think it all has to do with how I approach life.

I’ll share what I think my “secrets” are, and I hope they will help you bravely welcome all that you desire into your world.

1. I practice gratitude every day, and I try (really hard) to see the positive in every situation.

Trust me; I still complain, but I will only vent for a few minutes, and then I move on. I force myself to see a benefit or opportunity even in the most annoying occurrences.

2. When I want to achieve something (big or small) I bravely step forward and hustle to make it happen.

Honestly, I do have many moments of complete freakouts and meltdowns along the way. I am human, and I scare the crap out of myself… a lot!

3. If my goal doesn’t negatively affect others, I don’t take “no” for an answer.

4. I believe we are in a world full of powerful resources, and I don’t mind doing the research and hard work to uncover them.

I remember when I started writing, “The (now retired) 6-Figure Esthetician Success System.”

I would only sleep for four hours a night. I made the time to create a vision I had for our industry… and the weird part was even with just four hours of sleep I never felt tired.

I was on a mission to write a book and had no idea how to do it, so I made a deep commitment to writing, googling and figuring it all out!

5. I surround myself with people who believe in and support my vision.

6. I am open to receive.

7. I believe I deserve whatever it is that I want and am willing to work toward.

8. I practice kindness and firmly believe that magical things happen when you understand the power of reciprocal behavior.

It is so important to be mindful of those who support your journey. This particular kind of mindfulness is overlooked WAY too often.

9. I am not afraid to ask for what I want. I figure, what’s the worst that can happen? So what if someone might say, no? I’ll just know to move on and / or try a new approach.

10. I try to do something every day that pushes me WAY out of my comfort zone.

I wish it were as easy as the lucky horseshoe theory, but honestly, these 10-steps that I’ve listed will only work if you clearly know what it is that you want and combine that goal or vision with the courage to take the steps necessary to achieve your dream.

You CAN do it!
