Shelly;
Really super message and so well put! Years ago, my then-young son Ben was watching me sewing. He said “Mom. The reason you are an expert at making quilts is that you know how to fix ALL the mistakes.” I was gob-smacked at the brilliance of that observation. I had to stop and think about all the millions of times I’ve snarled my thread, messed up my stitches, ran out of supplies in the middle, made bad patches, and on and on. And it was only fixing the mistakes that gave me the skills to make my sewing machine FLY. I have used that in a number of areas, but I want to add my accolades because you say it just perfectly here! And if I had been fearless, my life would have been different.
Fondly,
Lila
Thanks, Shelly. What kept me back was not knowing how to build a website and monetize it using SEO. I finally found a program and am on my way! I used to hire people but without understanding basic things about online marketing, I couldn’t properly direct the website development, and I wasted a lot of money and time. However, I persisted and finally got the direction and experience I need. I am going to start selling my products online in just a few days!

Fear, Latent most times but it comes down to that! I’ve learned that it exists as stress deep in our muscles. And letting go of that through different mindsets and exercises exposes and eliminates fear and stress. Once “clear” anything is possible – even failure is welcomed instead of avoided. I will try to do your method, there’s nothing to lose! thank you so much!
I guess they said it all already, but I just felt the need to add my thanks as well!
This little change in perspective is such an important shift from dropping our hands to keep going and succeeding.
Thank again for sharing your insights.
What an inspiring post! You are so right…far too many times I have assumed certain things just aren’t for me or I’m just not good at. I’m going to start applying this mindset to my business and see what happens :) Love you Shelly!! -Erin
what a wonderful, simple, truthful concept!
it immediately turns feelings of “failure” into feelings of “vigor”.
WOW.
like feeling overwhelmed by huge, once in lifetime events like decision to
sell everything (almost) you own, auction house, & relocate 1,000 miles away
for retirement. I recently changed the overwhelming feelings with the opposite
thought of “but what if it can be easy?”
immediately my energy turned from frustration & not knowing where to begin to the energy of vision & vigor.
now every day my mantra is “Everything comes together easily & quickly. my belongings
go to just the right people for the right price, at the right time. it all flows easy, easy, easy.”
our auction is this coming Sunday & I’ve been living in flow for weeks now with this change
in perception, thus energy. it is wonderful!
thank you for your expression of the difference in thinking “experience” vs “failure or can’t”
you’re Awesome!
Just saw this in my in box- wow what timing! I literally said to my husband oh I cant hang out with you because I have to work on my business plan – he said at 7 am? I said yeah because, “I’m so not good at this” ( I really said that) so I signed up for this course and I’m so behind & now its due. Actually wish I could quit but off I go( to struggle was my feeling )- then I watched your video, spot on!
I will share this tonight with my class as it is so relevant to young entrepreneurs and I have been working on this block which is a big pattern in my life.
I’m grateful for this new & correct language to replace my old belief-
I am gaining experience and people keep showing up when I need help! Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
I already feel more in the flow, here is to my next hour, well the rest of my life ,being full of experience and ease!

Yes, Shelly, this makes the difference between losers and winners. We’re tempted to throw in the towel anytime we do things without seeing immediate results. You work on a project and have the feeling things stay the same. And you don’t realize they are adding up somewhere.
I noticed I have the belief “others know more than me” and “others know something I don’t know (and I will never know)”. This is the limiting belief offering me reasons to give up when things don’t advance as fast as I’d want to.
Thanks Shelly, that’s a great reminder for me. No matter how many courses I do, when life gets a bit pressured I go into periods of unconsciousness, where I lose track of how I’m being. Videos like this help to wake me up to examine how I’m allowing my fears to limit me and to renew my resolve and move forward again, great!

Thank you so much Shelly, I will give this a try.

That is a powerful lesson that I will be using from now on. Have to agree with the 3 comments above also.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
I’m so happy Lorenzo. It’s really helped me!
