It's an inside job

In my daily work to learn, grow, explore, improve, etc. I've definitely determined that in all of life's greatest quests the job starts on the inside. Not how much money is in your bank account, how many friends you have, the boss you worked for, where you live, or what the weather is like (because if you know me, you KNOW most of my negative comments relate to our crappy Wisconsin weather)  - anything you want to do in this life starts with YOU. 100%.

There are external circumstances that you'll never be able to control so you might as well start with what you can.  I've purchased a Passion Planner calendar for the past three years and its helped me to identify what I want to accomplish. From small soul-filling days like planning family dinners to large bucket list type items like starting a design business and learning another language.

The easy road = making excuses, blaming others, putting it off, listening to what others think you are capable of, staying where you are. It's doing the HARD work (but necessary for your soul) that will be the ultimate sacrifice but also completely worth it. The inside job takes dedication, measurement, alignment to your truths, passion and focus. It takes everything you have and constant reminders of how and why you're doing it.  

As a real estate agent I need to be on my A-GAME much more than I ever thought was needed to excel at this job. I realized after countless conversations, trainings and self discovery that the distractions come easy but I have to the power to focus on what I offer to my clients. And that far outweighs what Agent B, C, D, E does.

Tell me: What do you need to shift your focus on? How do you make it an inside job where you apply logic to your challenge vs. bringing emotion, guilt, jealously to the table.
