Now that Get Real 2017<\/a> is out of the way, it\u2019s time for a real chat. I\u2019m back in Dallas, Texas, and I\u2019m more motivated and inspired than ever before. Can you believe another amazing event<\/a> has come and gone? It was wonderful meeting so many of you at the event, and getting to hear many stories of what Neora<\/a> has meant to you. Ever since Get Real<\/a>, I\u2019ve been thinking about how different my life would have been without the incredible people I\u2019ve met because of Neora. This had me thinking about all the \u201cwhat ifs\u201d in life.<\/p>\n Imagine what the world would have looked like if no one had the courage to pursue their dreams. What do you think would have happened if Walt Disney<\/a> gave up on his dream after being rejected by a publishing house because he lacked imagination? Or what if Oprah Winfrey<\/a> didn\u2019t overcome her troubled, tragic, and difficult childhood to become one of the richest and most influential women in the world? The list of people who have achieved great things despite struggling initially is long. In fact, most successful people become successful by failing many times, until they eventually succeed. What if your name is supposed to be on that list of extraordinary people, and all you have to do is take the first step?<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure, at some point in time, you\u2019ve had thoughts like this before: What if I started my career when I was younger or what if I had more time and money? We can come up with hundreds of excuses to not step out of our comfort zone and take a risk. The thing is, those people we tout as \u201csuccessful,\u201d \u201clucky\u201d or \u201ctalented\u201d \u2026 they are just the ones who make a DECISION daily to step outside of their comfort zones. You see, you accomplish a goal by daily decisions, not by a Hail Mary pass, a stroke of good luck, or one brilliant idea. Success is a daily choice. Every day you are going to get to decide to stay within your comfort zone \u2013 or step outside of it to work towards your goal.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where Neora comes in. We\u2019ve never wanted to be just a skin care<\/a> or wellness<\/a> company. Our goal has been to create an opportunity available to people from all walks of life. An opportunity to have the life you\u2019ve always envisioned. And the key to living your dream life is taking those daily steps to get to your goal.<\/p>\n Easier said than done, right? Many of you\u2019ve already defined your dream or goal. When you close your eyes, you can see it \u2013 it\u2019s within reach. You know what you want and you\u2019re putting in a lot of time and effort to achieve exactly what you set out to do whether that\u2019s a flexible lifestyle or financial independence. I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started or keep you on the right track.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t stress this enough. \u201cSurround yourself with people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, and support your ambitions.\u201d This quote by British author Roy Bennett says it all. In those moments when you feel like a failure or that nothing\u2019s going your way, your support needs to be, well, supportive. I made the decision to be an executive and a mom. I am passionate about the work I do, and passionate about my family and daughter but it can be a tough balancing act some days. On the days where I feel like nothing is going right- I turn to the encouragers in my life, my cheer squad, that can uplift me and redirect my focus on the positive. Who is your cheer squad? Know who they are and don\u2019t be afraid to lean on them as needed!<\/p>\n I believe that all individuals are born equal. It\u2019s true that some people may encounter more obstacles than others but those obstacles can be used as fuel to propel you to success. If you want to succeed bad enough, you\u2019ll find a way. Most of the time, the way to optimal performance is to step into discomfort and uncertainty. If you\u2019re scared about your next venture or some challenge, my advice is to take a risk, and do it anyway!<\/p>\n Think of it this way: if you\u2019ve tried and failed, at least you tried, and you probably learned a lot from that experience. Each time you fail, consider it a lesson learned. Learn from it and move on because with every baby step you\u2019re one step closer to reaching your goal.<\/p>\n I’m so excited about my upcoming #RealChats on August 8 at 4:30 p.m. I have so many of my own experiences to share with you. I hope we can connect and I invite you to join in on the conversation during this Facebook Live Event. So; to get things started, here\u2019s an activity for the month of August. Most people have dreams but only a few will make their dreams come true. Visualize your goal as if it has already been reached…what do you see? <\/span><\/em><\/strong>Share your answers in the comment section.<\/p>\nPicture This<\/h3>\n
