" I am grateful for the experience, and for having taken responsibility for my choices and actions (the good and not so good ones). And I just have admiration for Marisa and her team, for all that is created with such prestige. "

It was a journey. First of all, I was facing difficulties to sell my 12 weeks coaching program, and hearing Marisa's offering my bells rang and I said yes. I understood I could learn more how to attract people and also create a small version of my main product, which could also benefit people and become an intro part of the program that will follow up. The guarantee offered was such an invitation too, specially because lately I have invested much more than I’ve received from clients and US currency at my country is 6 x more right now… Although, the adventure that was an excitement at the beginning became not so fun when I faced hard time choosing my audience and convincing myself the workshop is good enough and I am not just reproducing what I have learnt from my coaches (that is still an issue for me, as I keep thinking I have to create something new, by myself and the experience I (think) I don’t have yet, and I got stuck. I could feel some stress and a sense of being behind the schedule and overwhelmed ... Coach Paul was totally supportive, patient, and helped me to find clarity around it... I kept going. When I took the decision to make the journey my learning, my “playground" and not be tough on myself with the idea I that I had to succeed, to recover my investment, to demonstrate all the requirements to claim the guarantee, I started to enjoy it again… I delivered a small “kinda of a free sample” of the workshop in December last year and people engaged. It was the opportunity to promote what would be the retreat I was creating. I was not ready to sell it, though, as my perfectionism was louder (I, today, understand better the concept “progress over perfection”). Chatterboxing was challenge and I did not make it well… Lot’s of resistance showed up. Anyway, I made peace with myself, accepting my mistakes, my flaws, and I really trust I am improving. Not acting to claim the guarantee offered was huge, as I did not make money a priority. And I don’t just want my money back. I want to succeed, I want to overcome my uncertainties, my fears, my perfectionism, and trust who I am, and that I really can be a support for others to manifest the life they love. From December workshop I had people interested and I am happy I could offer the retreat taking part in February. That said, I believe I could have gotten better results, made more sales, made it faster… Anyway, something inside me vibrates in the trust I will have it done soon, as I feel more relaxed now and keep working on it… So, I did not reach my mission of getting my investment back + 10% at this point, but I have a nice product offered, nice and colorful ideas taking place and it will be awesome! And it’s such a freedom to realize I don’t have money right now, but I will, and money will never have me. I am grateful for the experience, and for having taken responsibility for my choices and actions (the good and not so good ones). And I just have admiration for Marisa and her team, for all that is created with such prestige. I will be with you all in march. Yay!!
