WHAT LEADS PEOPLE HERE?

1.    Three types of people, those who: a) consistently work hard, b) meander, or c) do very little

     a.    Images: a straight arrow, a meandering line, a flat line

2.    Hit a wall…usually triggered by some event (lost a job, spouse, financial meltdown…).  They trip. They fall. 

     a.    Image:

3.    Ask themselves hard questions – “What am I doing with my life” (or some such self-reflection).  “Do I really want to stay in the rat race”

4.    Fork in the road: “get rich quick schemes” vs. “get happy quick (get rich slow)”

5.    What blocks people:

a.    The only thing really holding people back are themselves (people create their own obstacles)

WHAT NEXT?

-    Get clear:

o    Unique genius worksheet

o    Listen to recorded conference calls

-    What are some babysteps you can take right now?

-    Purchase/download “start your own sharing circle”

o    Maybe look for local sharing circles?    A sharing circle could list online if they decided to open themselves to new people

o    But some leaders of Circles  won’t want to be bugged.  Depends on the quality of the audience looking to join a circle.

 

Few random thoughts

- You only get one life, so you better enjoy it. 

- There is no “someday”. 

-You can create whatever you want, so why not create something you love, and enjoy the journey along the way?

 

PebbleStorm: a path to happiness.  

There is “make money”, but if your motivation is purely money, you will not be happy.  PebbleStorm’s purpose will not be served.  You must enjoy what you, and make money “through enjoyment,” enjoyment at the root level.
