It’s silly and selfish to keep it to myself. Because the honest truth is that people need what I have. I need to listen to myself and just put myself out there even when I’m afraid. While all that felt amazing, the lesson I learned was HUGE. I kept checking my e-mail looking for refund letters or horrible feedback. Even though I’d received great feedback in the past! People were believing in my product that I’d worked so hard to put together.Īnd then….the first day of the course went live. It felt awesome to get sales from the course. I let some in for super cheap and then sold the course half off to my list that week. I felt so excited to have people try it out once it was all pretty. Luckily, I finally got smart and put more money into the course and moved it to a new platform I love (Zippy Courses….please go check it out, if you have an eCourse hiding up your sleeves!). Every week when I put a little blurb in my newsletter, I prayed no one would sign up! (crazy pants!).

Well…obviously, that’s not super professional and I knew it. It’s just a 5 Day course so I figured it would be fine. The process was a bit of a nightmare, so when it came to making the course more user friendly, I decided to just keep things simple and run it through e-mail. I finally launched a self study fitness eCourse at the start of the year and I hired a web designer to get my sales page up. Great advice as always, Marie!Įven though I LOVE Gary’s book, too AND have been coaching other fitness professionals to use “fear as their fuel” as they work to put themselves out there in their businesses, I was guilty of upper limiting myself recently! There are so many blessings and growth that happens once you get past your upper limit. Feel the feeling, acknowledge it, and breathe through it. As Kamal Ravikant said, there is magic on the other side of what you fear. New blessings won’t come if you are holding on to the familiar for dear life. I learned an important lesson from that experience, one of which is that closed hands can’t grasp new blessings. That is another time that I felt completely naked, because all that I poured into that journal was out there somewhere in the world. It’s my way of getting back to the familiar, a way to feel like I am in control.Ī few months ago, I lost my journal. I’ve noticed lately that my response has been to binge eating. I know that I will grow in so many ways from this trip and it is exciting, but I’m so uncomfortable. I’m tossing myself out there into a completely different and unfamiliar environment. I made a major purchase and I’ve got one more week before I leave for a solo vacay to Prague. I’m so outside of my comfort zone right now. If you ever find yourself with the urge to run and hide, pick a fight, or somehow stir up trouble when things start to get really good - this episode is a must watch! You’ll learn a simple practice to stop self-sabotage for good. That’s when I learned about a concept called “upper limits” and the unfortunate link many of us have between self-sabotage and expanded success.
Plus, after doctors ran all kinds of tests and repeatedly told me, “Marie, I can’t find anything wrong with you.” I knew I had to look deeper. When it comes to joy and success, your built-in upper limit is completely adjustable. While everybody gets a bug now and again, the timing of these illnesses right after something big just happened in my business was just too strange. I’m talking head-splitting migraines, debilitating nausea and one of the worst of all - nearly a week of being so weak and sick that I could hardly get out of bed. Whenever I made a big leap in my life (especially as it related to my career), I’d get super sick. There’s something weird that used to happen to me for years.
