One of the most important acts of power I created for myself and my business was in the choosing of a mentor last fall at Lisa Sasevich’s Big Mission Big Sales Big Life event at Mission Bay in San Diego – this was followed shortly after by choosing to invest AGAIN in myself and my business by enrolling as a Diamond Level participant in Kevin Nations Love Mastermind

I have to tell you a story…..

I went to an event hosted by Kevin and Lisa called Monetize Your Mission in May of 2009 in Las Vegas.  This was the first time I’d left the house to travel for a businessy type of event in years.  I’d spent most of the previous 7 years deeply in transition between my old career as a real estate developer and my present path of service as a mentor myself to evolving entrepreneurs who are looking to find ways to manage and master their own personal power and the power in their business.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect – other than that I’d be in a group of other people who were really interested in MONETIZING their MISSION.  This event title SO RESONATED with me that I just KNEW down deep in my soul that I would be receiving a huge benefit from attending – not only through the trainings but also because of the community that would be attracted to this type of an event.  This was business people speaking MY language – they understood I had a MISSION!  (STEP ONE – RESONANCE!)

So here I am in this room of people, and at the time I was feeling pretty desperate – I’d been on this exploration for several years around HOW to get my Mission out to the world.  I’d tried more than a few things – including having my own art gallery and healing arts center (a $250,000 extravaganza of spending and not earning) and investing as one of the original “Consultants”  in the birthing and launch of The Messenger Network – a project that I poured a whole year of my time and life into with incredibly little financial return.

I certainly learned a great deal from all those experiences – a great deal about what NOT to do and also about how my BUSINESS ACTIVITIES and CHOICES were reflecting to me SOUL WOUNDS that I was playing out again and again in my business – soul wounds around my own WORTHINESS to both share my blessings and gifts and also RECEIVE abundantly in exchange for the sharing.  I knew it was beyond time to MONETIZE this Mission – because if I didn’t I was going to run out – of time, money and energy and certainly being in a depleted state was not going to be ATTRACTIVE to anyone that might be thinking about working with me.  I’m an ENERGY MASTERY expert – I know what the results are of the frequencies that we emanate – and I knew right then that I was at the point of no return – I needed to do something to shift – and I also needed to do something that was SPECIFICALLY GROUNDED in what I MOST needed in that moment for my business to turn around and begin to thrive.  (STEP TWO: Where is your BIGGEST AREA OF CHALLENGE? Is the person you are considering for a mentor an EXPERT in that AREA?)

What I also discovered and experienced at that event was the glorious presence of PEOPLE WHO “GOT” ME!! Not only were the presenters “speaking my language” some of them – especially the “Success Story Panel” were “singing my song”!  To be surrounded by a “tribe” so to speak of like minded and like hearted individuals – all of whom had a Mission – was truly a magical thing for me – as a solo-preneur, single mom, stay at home business owner to be in the company of ANGELS was huge.  (STEP THREE – Who are the OTHER people who are attracted to this potential mentor?)

One of the other awesome surprises for me about this event was that Lisa and Kevin took up an entire segment of the event – CELEBRATING!!! and what they were CELEBRATING was the SUCCESS of their CLIENTS!! not their own success although it was pretty clear they were successfully APPLYING their own work to their businesses, not the success of their programs and products, but the SUCCESS achieved by their clients and in this Celebration they were actually promoting their clients, giving them stage time and putting them in the spotlight.  This was a win-win-win for EVERYBODY!  We got to find out about a whole host of other people and their gifts and blessings in addition to the “official speakers” who were presenting.  What a CONCEPT!   (STEP FOUR -  What are the SUCCESS Stories that the Mentor has been able to facilitate through their program or service?  Is  the Mentor all about themselves or are they a big cheerleader for their CLIENTS?)

When I came home from that event my entire world had been rocked, shifted, morphed and realigned to be in a higher state of consciousness and awareness about my business, why I was here and also the “WHO’s” that would be getting me to the HOW of what I wanted next to create for myself, my business and my mission.  Later that year I made the investment.  I took the QUANTUM LEAP that put me right in to the Sassy Mastermind with Lisa as a Platinum.  This was a HUGE one time investment for me – the biggest investment all in one chunk that I’d ever made in my life aside from purchasing a house or a car.  AND it delivered IMMEDIATE RESULTS – within 3 weeks I had almost completely recovered the entire investment through the investments of my clients in THEMSELVES to create a positive and powerful shift in their own life and business through my work.   In January of this year I took an even more incredible LEAP of FAITH when my “upstairs team” guided me to jump in with both feet and an open heart at the Diamond Level in Kevin’s Love Mastermind.  (STEP FIVE:  INVEST – IN YOURSELF, IN YOUR BUSINESS, IN YOUR PASSIONATE PURPOSE – This is an ACTION STEP – the ACT of INVESTING says something to the Universe in a very powerful way – it says YES I AM WORTH IT! I AM READY to LEAP and to HAVE FAITH in myself, my vision and my mission and I’m READY to put in whatever it takes to manifest this!)

It’s been just over a year now since my first big investment with Lisa – that paid off immediately – as I’ve already shared but it has and will continue to throw off benefits long into the future just in terms of the PEOPLE that I was able to connect with, be supported by and in some cases co-create with in one way or another.   I’ve got a few months left in the LOVE Mastermind with Kevin and my “Diamond” partner Scout Wilkins and I have had quite a journey together – we were the two that went all the way in – with both feet – at the highest and deepest level possible.    The most precious gift from this work with Kevin has been for me to be able to truly see without a shadow of a doubt my own WORTH and more importantly the WORTH of my BLESSING to the world!  There is nothing more precious than that.   I’m so very glad that I “listened” to my UPSTAIRS TEAM!! When they said Diamond I was like “WHAT???? YOU MUST BE JOKING!! It was so far out of the realm of reality for me financially at that time – it bordered on the insane.  However – 18 months after my first meeting with Kevin and Lisa – what has happened??? My Mission -  which at the time back in May of 09 generated $400 for the whole month – has been MONETIZED and today I can report that I now have a 6 figure business and I’m serving MORE people, MORE powerfully and with MORE energy than ever before!  Thanks Team!  I am always being called to the next level and I know I’ll never stop investing in myself after this year – nor will I be disconnected from my “tribe” of wonderful compatriots on the group journey!  (STEP SIX:   Listen to your INNER GUIDANCE – IF you are meant to be mentored by someone AND with a SPECIFIC GROUP – soul family is what I call my mastermind buddies – YOU WILL KNOW! – even if it “seems” in the moment as if you don’t have the time, money, energy, attention or whatever it is that is your “But”)

That’s the end of this little story – the close of this particular “chapter” shall we say – there’s a whole book unwritten before me and I’m excited to see what will unfold in the coming months and years.   I am mightily proud of the shifts that have happened for the clients that my Divine Business Partner Mikael Sami Kumara and I have been able to serve through their journey of transformation.  It’s a JOY to see the people who have invested in themselves through you launch themselves into their DIVINE Destiny!  Here’s one…..
