Transformation is an inside job. You have to be ready to answer the call when you're transformation is about to begin.
Your Soul Driven Calling
1st, it’s my desire to prepare you to be your greatest self. This is the time to take action and fully embrace transforming into our higher business self because we’re all about business transformation here; going from employee to entrepreneur. No more busywork of posting to social media and creating graphics. It’s time to serve your clients with your unique gifts and talents. So, where are you right now in transforming from employee to entrepreneur? How are you taking the steps to get to the next step?
How are you going to answer the call? How are you going to embrace the call to be your higher self? I know a lot of you have probably been struggling with the call. It’s come to you a few times and you did not move forward, you did not take the step. You didn’t take the lead or maybe you kind of inched into the lead and you didn’t go 100%. When you hear the call most of us take action in two ways. You will first hear it and then take action in two ways; just ignore it and let things happen to you or you will suffer and allow pain or suffering to make you actually take action or you can be in the driver’s seat. Or you can be completely honest with yourself and say hey, this is what I want. The time has come and I am ready to take action. So which are you allowing in your life right now? Because the call is here. I know it’s here, it’s February. It’s time to take action.
Let me tell you a little bit about two entrepreneur calls. The first one was when I was in my 20s. I was just turning 30 and I was working at BCBG and I was the store manager there and I loved it. You know, I was working in fashion. I was a manager so I fulfilled my dream of working my way to the top from a salesperson. I fulfilled my dream of being more than I thought I could be and then I got terminated. I felt as a manager I had privileges to do certain things. But obviously, I did not and I got terminated, but at the time when I got terminated, it kind of gave me a sense of freedom. The termination made me realize working as a manager wasn’t really for me and in the back of my mind, I always knew that I wanted to be a business owner and to have my own thing. So this was my 20s as before. This is pre-Tony and I took the opportunity to start a little styling business. I styled a couple of people and I was doing fashion shows as well. I was all about fashion. If I knew then what I know now, I would have really taken that time to really grow and become the entrepreneur of my dreams.
But, I didn’t stick with it. I had 3 clients, I threw a huge event and I had like maybe 5 ticket sales. Having my own business wasn’t working out as I imagined; I was in debt, scared, and lacking confidence. So many things came rolling on me and I was like I can’t do this. I’m not a business owner. If I only knew then that I was being called.
I wasn’t honest with myself about really wanting the business and to be a business owner. I wasn’t honest with myself about really having the ability to do it. So that was my first Transformation Calling.
The second time that I was given a challenge for transformation was in 2017 and 2018.
This transformation came from a place of pain. The lady you’re looking at right now transformed because of pain. I was forced to make the change. I was forced to step up my game. I was forced because I was sick of living a certain way. I was sick of looking at myself looking a certain way. I was just sick of it and that came from the pain that was just I was forced to make it and that change transformation was really interesting because I didn’t see it happening. I was doing soul work at the time and a certain situation pushed me to make the change.
Life is life, things are going to come to you no matter what and that’s the beauty of what life is because it’s going to give you challenges to make you grow. To make you become more of a person that you really are inside and to make you really go towards what you want. So my transformation came about with a car accident, losing a $100,000 client, and almost losing everything we had.
This calling was mind-opening because I saw my strength. I saw how much I learned and actually put all of that knowledge into play. And I learned to give myself love because there’s really nothing else you can do but to give yourself love and compassion when times are tough. In my opinion, the only way out of the dark side is you making the right decisions in you believing in yourself.
And that was a very pivotal time in my life. I was welcomed with my spirit guides. I always knew I had a spiritual foundation since I was a little girl, but I forgot about that and all the stuff I loved. All of those things came back to me all through pain and that is what I used to create strength and determination.
So I ask again, how are you going to answer the call? So those are my two examples one was from being dishonest with myself not being 100% truthful about what I wanted and the second was from pain, literally hitting the bottom and having to figure out my step.

So, it’s February. This is the time to go beyond the norm. You’ve been working so hard all of 2020. I hope that you took time to really figure out what you want your business to do, who your business is for and where you want to go with your business. This is the time to go ahead and IMPLEMENT everything that you’ve learned from last year and go forward to be your higher self.
Realize you have control and the control is all yours. But don’t count out that sometimes we’re going to be pushed and that’s okay. Sometimes that’s what we need, obviously, I did.
Or you might be able to just go ahead and go with self-honesty where you just have an experience where you realize that there’s a part of you that doesn’t want to change but you know at the end this is the right thing to do.
You’ve been working so hard. You’ve been creating a plan for yourself. Now, let’s put it in motion and really start to make something of all your hard work. Thank you for joining me on this Monday’s motivation. I am honored to be here with you on your journey.
