It is shockingly easy to do.

Step One:
Get a piece of paper and draw a line down the centre. Label one side “Don’t” and the other side “Want”.

Step Two:
On the side that says, “Don’t” make a list of everything you don’t want anymore. For me it was things like this:

– Don’t want to speak to sell.
– Don’t want to do big Internet launches to sell stuff.
– Don’t want to travel all the time.
– Don’t want to work this hard.
– Don’t want to work as much.

Step Three:
On the side that says, “Want” turn all of your don’ts into what you want. For me it was like this:

– Want to speak to teach, inspire, and get paid to do it.
– Want people to buy my training programs because they speak for themselves and for the marketing to be easy and effortless.
– Want to travel once a month for a maximum of three days for business.
– Want my work to be joyful and easy.
– Want to work four days a week and take a month off every year to travel someplace new.

Step Four:
Take a good look at what you want and figure out how you can make this your reality. Let me give you one example for me:

I don’t want to speak to sell. I want to speak to teach, inspire and get paid to do it.

The first thing that will happen is a big organization will reach out and ask me to speak and sell from the stage. It will be a great “opportunity” for me. I need to be prepared to say no to what I don’t want in order to create space for what I do want.

Next, I will need to figure out how to get paid to speak more often. Here are some things I can do:

⇒ Beef up my speaker profile online and add clips of me speaking
⇒ Use YouTube more to speak to people through video
⇒ Go out to Speakers Bureaus and get my name listed through their services
⇒ Reach out to organizations that might be hiring or who have a different model for speakers
⇒ Identify other ways to earn revenue when I speak without selling from the stage (list building, back of the room sales, having someone else pitch my product/service)

Step Five:
Take action and do something to align yourself with what you want because when you take action, energy changes and so do the things that show up in your life.

If you are really ready to live life your way and you want to see big change happen, taking action is the most important step.

Please leave a comment below. Share with me what one thing you don’t want anymore, how you will turn it into a want, and one action you will take this week.

You can do this, if you really WANT to.
