Remember when you were at a seminar and the leader promised you all your dreams come true with virtually the ” wave of a magic wand.”
There is a real skill in getting an audience revved up, excited and running to the back of the room to purchase all the products that they believe are the answers to all their problems and only in “3, 5 or 12 Easy Steps!”
How often have you seen people leaving seminars excited, motivated and … “On Fire!”
Yes, the products are great they do work, there are gems of wisdom and amazing trainings inside the sealed packages.
But the real problem is… 90% of the people who actually purchased the follow-up programs, never open them! Yes, life gets in the way and all the reasons for buying and using the programs fly out the window, their dreams gather dust on the shelf, inside the sealed box and they wonder what went wrong?
Nothing went wrong!
All that happened is they got motivated, excited, intensely revved up and burnt out! Like a firecracker instead of a strong, steady burning fire that has plenty of fuel to continue burning. Even after the fire “goes out” the embers continue to glow and any new fuel will “spark up” the fire and again, get it “burning long and strong.”
That is empowerment!
When you observe a successful person, you will notice they have coaches and mentors, they are always learning and growing, seeking education and implementing and practising what they learn. They keep adding useful, powerful tools and support systems and they use what works.
When you are empowered, you wake up calm, you have a plan of action, you are using tools and developing new skills that you are a natural fit to your personal style.
Your life starts to flow and ideas and inspiration come to you more easily and quickly. You take action on those ideas because you understand your intuitive voice and trust in your abilities to achieve your dreams. You have a coach to keep you ” accountable, on track and confidence” and a mentor to guide you with the next steps.
You are emotionally stable and calmer. You have a higher EQ – Emotional intelligence and you have the greater rapport and better communication skills, resulting in greater cooperation others, whether it be your team at work, or family and friends.
When you attend your next seminar or if you are looking to hire a coach, notice if you are Motivated and hyped up of if you are being empowered;
Motivation – on its own can lead to excitement and burnout if you are not given the skills and tools you can immediately implement in your life.
Empowerment – is when you feel strong in your core, you have the skills and tools that you have practised, you can use straight away and you know they work for you.
