Episode 22 Show Notes
Today’s episode I am talking with Rachel Luna. She’s a mother of two and wife to her soul mate, grew up in New York, at age 16 she joined the marine core, at age 18 she enlisted in the reserves, and 4 years later was deployed to Iraq. 4 years later her journey took her to LA, from auditions to boardrooms. She began changing her outlook on life, invested in herself, hired a coach, and within 1 year was completely out of debt, ran her first half marathon, and kicked her eating disorder for good. Her calling is to help others find their confidence to do the things they were meant to do. Here we go!
Takeaways:
- There are stories from our childhood that we carry with us, and we perceive the situation one way, but there is so much more behind it. Sometimes we have to look at the bigger picture. As you start digging into the full story of these stories, you can see the reasons for why things play out in our lives.
- Rachel tried to cover up her emotions, and it led her down some bad paths. She knew she was put on this planet to do something big. She ended up taking 22 summer courses to graduate.
- When Rachel went back and fourth with her boss, she knew that her job in corporate America was doing nothing for her. She felt like she was loosing her soul. If you want change in your life, YOU have to create it.
- Sometimes when we aren’t happy with our lives, it takes us realizing that to move past it. It isn’t easy to do, but once we realize that we want change, its up to us to create it. We can get out of any bad situation. Sometimes the only thing holding us back is ourselves.
- Don’t ever limit your success. The moment you put a ceiling on what you can accomplish is the moment you will limit yourself from reaching your full potential. The mental part of business is HUGE. If you don’t have the right mindset in your life, no strategy will work.
- It’s great to try things out. If in the middle of a project you don’t like what you’re doing, it’s okay to change! Don’t ever be afraid to change your course along the way.
- Don’t ever fear what people are going to say. If something in your business or life fails, it means nothing. Failing is a stepping stone to success.
- Remember that you are priceless. When someone buys your product or program, never sell yourself short. Focus on the value of the TRANSFORMATION.
- Do what feels right. The moment you do what is good for yourself, and give up what is holding you back, that is the moment you will start to see even more progress.
- If you don’t feel good about your relationships, your job and your identity, money won’t change your happiness. That will only amplify your problems. If you’re not happy in what you’re doing, it’s not the right path for you. Money grows when your being your true self, and attracting your tribe.
