Your Mission Accomplished Story
I am an artist. My heart is in the creation of abstract paintings and I love creating environments in which people can discover their own inspiration and find balance. However for the last six years and especially this last year I found my self nowhere near my atelier/studio or happiness inside myself. In fact I had lost the connection with my own inspiration and happiness. Most of my energy went into caregiving to my partner who has been ill all these years. I experienced extreme low levels of energy and frustration of being stuck. Not knowing what to do, not having the energy to turn things around on my own.
Via searching the internet for inspirational speakers, I came upon "Liveyourmessageacademy.com" by Marisa Murgatroyd. Watching Marisa deliver her message, seeing her sincerity, playfulness, humor, wise, caring (and totally without judgments) responses, ignited a spark within me. The fact of the promise and guarantee that if you did the work in the course - you would earn back the price of the program yourself - or receive the money back: made me act within minutes. What did I have to lose? I started the course, chose to focus on giving workshops: "Teaching Abstract Painting - to help transform thoughts". Still the initial situation of low energy and frustration would kick in from time to time. I switched back my focus to selling paintings on a one to one basis. One week before the end of the 8 week program we received devastating news about the life expectancy of my partner. I lost my focus on the course completely. Even cancelled the rent of my atelier/studio.The only thing I could do was listening and watching messages of Marisa on facebook to hold the life line with the course.There she was, in an un-announced
"encouragement - speech: " ....if you do nothing else but take one step forwards, just do it. You do not need a website.....just talk to people today. Do it, do it now, do not stop now." A speech as if made for me alone. That night I not only wrote an e-mail to be able to keep my cancelled studio/atelier I also developed a workshop program. Made some phone calls the next day and received two commitments to the workshop to be launched in Februari.
Between Januari 31st and Februari 3rd I talked to people about my paintings and sold two paintings and received a future order for another painting. And I reached my minimal goal of $2000. No huge amounts of dollars but major shifts within to keep connected with my future self even in the event of tragedy.This course has changed my life and my outlook into the future. I am incredibly thankful! And feel blessed to have been able to be part of this amazing circle of people. Thanks Marisa, thank you coach Jennifer, Don and the staff behind the scenes.
