How To Transform a Business Challenge Into a Business Breakthrough

Call me headstrong but once I make a decision to do something, I don't let anything stand in my way. My motto is, "There's always a way."

This determination (or "grit"as my mom dubbed it) has helped me stay true to my Soul's Divine Purpose of creating a highly successful coaching business, making great money doing what I love: helping women entrepreneurs design an exciting and lucrative, multiple streams of income business.

So when I hear a woman say she wants something, like to be in a coaching program, attend a workshop, invest in a training program or hire more team members, I think "Great! She's made a wise decision that will support her success."

But later, when the first little obstacle, delay or challenge pops up, I hear from her, "This must be a sign that I'm not supposed to do ...."

Ladies, please, you have got to be kidding me! Look at it this way: if you saw a gorgeous pair of shoes on sale for half off, would you let the fact that someone was standing in front of you stop you from snapping up those new heels? Of course not!

Let me share a big secret with you: a challenge is NOT the Universe "telling"you you're not supposed to stay the course. Nor is it telling you it "isn't meant to be."

If you're serious about achieving the goodies of success: money, respect, freedom, happiness, then let me share with you 3 quick tips for handling those moments when it feels like your plans are being threatened.

Tip #1: Don't Confuse Fear With A Sign From The Universe

The moment you make a decision it's likely fear will kick in, trying to "convince"you that you're better off staying as-is, even though as-is clearly isn't what you want.

Gently remind yourself that doubt is not truth. This is the moment to trust the wisdom of your initial decision. Do that, and you'll reconnect yourself to the power of Divine Wisdom that helped you make that decision in the first place.

Tip #2: Approach Every Obstacle As An Opportunity For A Breakthrough

Once you make a decision to do something powerful for your business, such as joining a coaching program or attending an event, it's not uncommon to have a challenge come up. What I do in this situation is use my "there's always a way" belief to help me quickly create solutions, thus negating the power of the challenge to take me off course. What I don't do is let those challenges change my mind.

Tip #3: Ask For Help Rather Than Giving Up

I just received an email from a client who was strapped for the cash needed to purchase her plane ticket so she could attend an event. She was literally hours away from having to cancel her plans. Rather than give up, she reached out. Within hours she had the money, secured her ticket, and was celebrating this as a major breakthrough.

Remember, How You Do One Thing Is How You Do All Things

Ask every successful woman how she got where she is today and she'll tell you that she didn't take no for an answer and she didn't let obstacles, challenges or excuses change her mind about something she decided she wanted.

Just because Universal Source energy wants you to be successful doesn't mean there won't be challenges along the way. It's up to you to see those challenges for what they are: an opportunity for a breakthrough.

So, my beloved friend, the next time you're tempted to give in and say, "it must be a sign"remember that it IS a sign...a sign for you to stay in your power, stay faithful to your decision and focus on getting what it is you want. You can do it!
