Be Amazing!
admin, December 17th, 2009 …because you ARE amazing!! And if you want your business to be amazing, you have to step right into your amazing. That is the message that has been flooding my psyche lately – from all around! I can’t even really tell you ‘it started it here’ or ‘it started there’, because, it seems to be more of a circle. Ebbing and flowing and coming at me from lots of directions. I will tell you what got my brain started on it just now, strongly enough to want to post about it. My friend, @AnitaHampl tweeted a quote (I think it was a quote, either that or a retweet) from an event that she is involved with whose hashtag is #winATL. It’s a group for women entrepeneurs, I believe. Anyhoo – here was the tweet:
@TarynP Teaching to think confidently, “These ppl don’t know who I am, but I’m the bomb.” #winATL
The emphasis is mine, because, I think it ROCKS!!! That tweet then reminded me of a couple of lines at the end of one of @ElizabethPW’s recent blog posts that really, really resonated with me. Here it is – you ready? Ok….
Knowing that I don’t need anything. Knowing that I’m already kickass.
Now that is freaking awesometastic.
Want. on. a. poster. Badly. Very badly.
And then I remembered the video that I watched from Tony Robbins last night. I just love that guy. It was his Special Holiday Message and his wife is in it for a snippet – she’s so cute! At the end of it, he added a clip of Jim Rohn, his mentor who just passed away. Tony said that his biggest takeaway from Jim was that YOU have to be amazing if you want your business to be amazing. How simple and how utterly, completely eye-opening. I had never heard Jim talk, though I’d been meaning to all week, after hearing so many people online talk about him. So I was really glad that Tony sent that video to us and that he’d attached the part from Jim Rohn.
Ok, so …basically, I’m having a good day today. If you couldn’t tell. And I don’t want to blow smoke up anyone’s a$$ – I know we’ll have bad days. I know that good days – amazing business days – good weather days – happy family days – don’t mean that everything will be rosy all the time. I can tell you that I had a perfectly ROTTEN day yesterday. It was cloudy, I argued with my hubby in the morning (great way to start the day. heh.) and I wasn’t feeling very well. I did, however, try to keep my head in the game. I listened to some positive podcasts and I pushed myself to get some work done even though I knew I was feeling lousy (mentally, emotionally and physically), because, I knew that if I didn’t – I would feel worse.
So I know there are bad days. Tomorrow might be one. (I think I’m talking to myself here more than anyone. Frealz.) I also know that if I want my business – meaning anything that I do online for pay, whether that be selling my own products, or being a virtual assistant or anything – to be amazing – I have to be amazing, too.
And the cool thing is, we all already are amazing. It’s just a matter of stepping into it.
So go on – step into your amazing.
And then comment on this post – because, it’ll make me feel that much more amazing!! (And see, that’s one more way we can be amazing – help others feel their amazing!)
So come on – what do you have to say to me today?

What a coincidence (?)that you’re picking up all these positive messages. Thanks for writing about my Tweets.
Taryn Pisaneschi (http://tarynp.wordpress.com/) spoke at a Women Intelligently Networking event on “How to Hobnob Over the Eggnog + Maximize Those Holiday Parties!”
She taught how holiday parties can be a great place to network, but often relatives and friends don’t really know what you do for a business, so you have to tell them. Three tips:
1. Find people who you don’t already know.
2. Make a great impression.
3. Be excited about what you do. Be a BIG DEAL!
Taryn says that people will flock to you if you are really confident – or at least perceived as being really confident.
Then she came out with “These people don’t know who I am, but I’m the BOMB!”
Lisa, you ARE the bomb. Your ghostwriting services are terrific, and your love of literature carries though in all your work. You will have a fabulous 2010 if you just remember that you are amazing!
