Be Humble, Sit Down

When you need to take several seats……………….

So y’all know I’m on this journey of self discovery right? Well on this journey, I’m learning a lot about a lot of things. One of the lessons I’ve learned and truly understand, is the power of being in the right rooms. A lot of these great business leaders host seminars, webinars, coaching programs and more. Usually there is a cost to attend these events, ranging anywhere from $47 to over six figures. Usually the higher you go in the cost, the more you get from the program. We will get into how “you have to spend money to make money” is a true statement sometime later on in another blog. However, you can just imagine if you are going to invest over six figures in your business just to be under the mentorship of someone, you will expect a hefty return.

Don’t worry I’m getting to me having to have several seats; I have to give you a little backstory for the build up…..

I’ve learned and had the pleasure of experiencing how important these rooms are, how they bring you so much value. I have the pleasure of being a member of the Morning Meet Up Community under the leadership of David Shands of the Social Proof Podcast. This is a community of like minded people looking to grow in their business and life. Having membership in the community it allows for in depth conversation and live virtual coaching from some of the most successful business leaders. Having experienced the magic that happens in these virtual rooms, my goal this year is to position myself to step outside of my comfort zone and actually physically be in these rooms.

Here is where the seat taking comes in………

So Pinky Cole, of Slutty Vegan… If you don’t know who Pinky Cole is please google her, my blog doesn’t have enough character space to give that beautiful black queen her just due. SHE’S A TRUE QUEEN! Well clearly I stan, I love her. She announced she was creating an event called “American Sesh”. She was creating this event as a gift to creators. Creating a space for brilliant creators to intimately create, build, and more with a panel of successful business leaders. She strategically picked out everything about this event, from the furniture to the panel. She took time in every single detail. You can tell based on how she marketed the event, this was major. So I’m hyped. I’m in the comments, I want to go. I have to be in the room. I’m praying asking God trying to manifest it. But that’s it. I didn’t try to do anything else. I saw that she announced another guest “mentee” (whom I’m extremely happy for because she too is a best and a queen that is doing the darn thing but this is my blog of truth so know it’s NO HATE ONLY LOVE HERE). I felt a wave of jealousy from this announcement because it clearly wasn’t me. Now jealousy is one of those emotions that I check at the door. I immediately block that “why I’m never chosen” or “I should’ve known it wasn’t going to be me, it’s never me” spirit. I instantly remind myself other people’s success has nothing to do with me. Continue to stay focus and do the work, and our turn will come. And I remind myself that if I began to covet thy neighbor stuff, I will be blocking my blessing that God has planned for me, because he clearly blocked this.

Now here is where I had to grab several seats…………

I then reminded myself, I had the audacity to be jealous to be in a room I didn’t find of enough value to even do the research to find out how to get into the room. I….DID…..NOTHING….. I left a comment on the picture but I didn’t even take the time to research how to get an invite. Then had the audacity to be upset. HA!

Why do people, people? Am I the only person like this?

Be mad that I didn’t get the results that I wanted when I didn’t put in the work to get said results.

That’s been the story of my life. I’ll be mad at my:

Weight

Finances

House organization

and more, but ask me what was I doing to fix any of the above…………………

I have to stop getting upset over things I’m not willing to put the work in to attain. Then I also must remind myself, I want it all; so put that work in.
