📊 🏗️ Creating Your New Normal 📊 🏗️
In life, we are often presented with a choice: staying where we are or leveling up to create our new normal. This decision is not about a lack of gratitude for what we have or the people who surround us. Instead, it is about recognizing the inherent potential within ourselves to push beyond current limits and continuously strive for greater heights. This journey of personal and professional growth is an ongoing process that enriches our lives and those of others around us.
The Choice to Level Up
The concept of creating a new normal involves embracing change and pursuing growth relentlessly. It requires an understanding that life is dynamic, and staying stagnant means missing out on opportunities for improvement. Choosing to level up is a conscious decision to enhance various aspects of our lives—be it health, relationships, career, or personal development. It signifies a commitment to bettering ourselves, not out of dissatisfaction, but from a place of ambition and vision.
As many of you know, I had to make this decision when I was growing my medicare business. I was 27 years old when I purchased my first book of business with my mentor. Less than a year later I bought minority ownership in his agency. I was 29 years old with over $1.3 Million Dollars in business debt, I made the choice to level up and grab a seat at the big table.
Personal Journey: From Comfort to Growth
More recently I had this same decision earlier this year. It was a pivotal moment that required courage and a leap of faith. From that day forward, I have been committed to creating my new normal. This involved getting up earlier, investing both time and money into my personal development, and even hiring mentors—not once, but three times. These actions were not just about improving specific skills; they were about transforming my mindset and embracing a new way of living.
Investing in Personal Development
Investing in personal development is a crucial aspect of leveling up. It involves identifying areas where we can improve and taking actionable steps to develop those skills. For me, hiring mentors was part of this process, one of these mentors was a voice coach. Effective communication is essential in both personal and professional settings, and I wanted to ensure that I could convey my ideas clearly and confidently. This investment in myself has paid off in numerous ways, enhancing my interactions and opening new doors of opportunity.
In fact next month, I’m getting flown out to California to give a hour-long presentation on The Hot List: Biz Tips for Explosive Growth in front of - ready for this - FIFTEEN people. That's right, I’m getting flown to the other side of the country to speak in front of 15 people. I was recommended to this group from one of my clients who knows the value I provide to people and they wanted me in front of these people. This is part of my new normal!
Physical Well-being: The Foundation of a New Normal
Another critical component of my new normal has been focusing on physical well-being. I set a goal to get into the best shape of my life, understanding that physical health is the foundation upon which all other aspects of life are built. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate rest have become non-negotiable parts of my routine. This commitment to health not only improves physical fitness but also boosts mental clarity, energy levels, and overall resilience.
I recommend you download an app called “Habit”, I was referred to this from another one of my mentors. This application helps me track my daily 7 non-negotiables: Drinking 140 Oz of water, no alcohol, journal in the morning, recap my day at the end of the day, check my goals, read a book for 30 minutes, and walk 10,000 steps. Hitting all of these daily didn’t happen overnight, in fact it took me 3 months to finally hit all 7 in a day for 5 days in a row and now I’m not stopping.
Professional Growth: Building a New Business
On the professional front, my new business has been a testament to the power of gratitude and the pursuit of freedom. By maintaining a positive mindset and being thankful for the opportunities and people in my life, I have been able to create a business that grows every day. This gratitude fuels my passion and drives me to help others achieve true freedom, be it financial, personal, or professional. Sharing this journey with others and showing them the path to success has been immensely rewarding.
The Ripple Effect: Inspiring Others
Creating a new normal is not a solitary journey. As we strive to improve ourselves, we naturally inspire those around us to do the same. Our actions, mindset, and achievements serve as a beacon of what is possible. By sharing our stories and experiences, we can motivate others to embark on their own journeys of growth. This ripple effect creates a community of individuals who are all committed to leveling up and reaching new heights.
Embracing Challenges and Celebrating Successes
The path to creating a new normal is filled with challenges and triumphs. Each obstacle we overcome builds our resilience and each success we achieve fuels our motivation. Embracing these challenges with a positive attitude and viewing them as opportunities for growth is crucial. Similarly, celebrating our successes, no matter how small, reinforces our progress and keeps us motivated to continue pushing forward.
The Journey Continues
Creating your new normal is an ongoing journey that requires dedication, resilience, and a positive mindset. It is about making a conscious choice to improve and embrace change while remaining grateful for what we have. By investing in personal development, focusing on physical well-being, and pursuing professional growth, we can transform our lives and inspire others to do the same. My journey is a testament to the power of leveling up, and I encourage you to take the leap and create your new normal. The rewards are immeasurable, and the journey itself is the greatest reward of all.
P.S. I’ve taken my commitment up another level to find a higher new normal and I just purchased the Tonal. If you’re creating your new normal just like I am, I would love to hear from you and go on this journey together.
