00:00:00
I changed my life in six months and this
00:00:02
is how I did it six months ago I set out
00:00:04
on a no plan B journey to make the
00:00:06
uncomfortable comfortable do things that
00:00:07
matter to me and fearlessly pursue plan
00:00:09
a i dedicated six months to becoming the
00:00:12
best version of me into achieving my
00:00:13
goals overcome self-doubt break habits
00:00:16
of mediocrity make six friends and
00:00:18
launch my business did I achieve them
00:00:21
well we'll get into that later little
00:00:23
did I know that I enter a new era of my
00:00:25
life that would change me forever I feel
00:00:27
like I'm growing but not in the way that
00:00:29
I want to be or not towards the place I
00:00:32
want to be I'm not pushing my potential
00:00:34
and to me that feels really strange and
00:00:37
I don't like it to put it quite simply
00:00:40
let me show you the momentous growth and
00:00:42
changes that occurred over the last six
00:00:44
months in forms of six lessons let's do
00:00:47
it
00:00:48
[Music]
00:00:49
thank you
00:00:50
[Music]
00:00:51
don't let fear keep you in the same
00:00:54
place
00:00:55
push past the scary feelings and keep
00:00:57
your head where your feet are that is
00:00:59
what I kept telling myself throughout
00:01:00
the journey just push past the fears
00:01:02
Lizzy and keep on going you got to keep
00:01:04
on going
00:01:05
fear is only trying to keep us in the
00:01:07
same place and I was ridden with fear
00:01:09
the fear of failure the fear I'm not
00:01:11
doing enough the fear of rejection and
00:01:13
the fear of never becoming the person I
00:01:14
want to be I was afraid of disappointing
00:01:17
myself I had all these goals but what if
00:01:19
I couldn't achieve them what if I failed
00:01:21
at making my dreams come true I would
00:01:23
just prove to everyone who's doubted me
00:01:25
that they were right
00:01:26
those Waters had me in a Chokehold and I
00:01:29
could never seem to escape a little
00:01:30
voices on my head telling me that I was
00:01:32
not good enough that little voice was a
00:01:33
feel to my self-doubt and I kept the
00:01:35
fire burning for way too long self-doubt
00:01:37
is an excuse for us to not take action
00:01:39
it is the driving force of mediocrity I
00:01:42
can't so I won't I couldn't so I
00:01:43
shouldn't blah blah blah all I hear are
00:01:46
excuses imagine letting that little
00:01:48
voice dictate how you move through the
00:01:49
world allowing it to stop you from
00:01:51
showing up as your true best self yeah I
00:01:53
was not going to let that happen which
00:01:55
is why I embarked on a no plan B journey
00:01:56
to smother that little voice once and
00:01:58
for all she was getting really annoying
00:02:00
I did things that scared the living
00:02:02
bejesus out of me and it was not fun to
00:02:04
face my fears I launched my business to
00:02:06
Power Club within a month I overcame a
00:02:08
perfectionism by being purposely
00:02:10
imperfect I forced myself to speak up
00:02:12
meetings and to meet new people despite
00:02:15
being a little shy introvert at times
00:02:16
and I acted on everything I set my mind
00:02:19
to no matter how fearful I felt I
00:02:21
refused to let fear keep me in the same
00:02:23
place so I used fear as fuel to push me
00:02:26
ahead I still have fears but my fears
00:02:29
are no longer in forms of self-doubt
00:02:31
they are now in forms of chances the
00:02:33
chance to grow to change and to
00:02:35
strengthen
00:02:36
it is okay to have fears the goal is not
00:02:38
to be Fearless it is to fear less
00:02:41
fear is a great growth motivator it
00:02:44
keeps us alert alive and attuned with
00:02:46
who we are and who we can be my goal was
00:02:49
to overcome self-doubt and I did it that
00:02:51
little voice is gone and it is a place
00:02:53
with a booming voice that tells me that
00:02:55
I can do it and that I am doing it
00:02:57
fear is not an excuse to not take action
00:02:59
it is an excuse to take a chance on you
00:03:02
[Music]
00:03:05
how do you expect your life to change if
00:03:08
you don't change
00:03:09
level up your values and actions first
00:03:11
everything else will follow
00:03:14
Ali abdall once talked about thinking of
00:03:16
ourselves as systems or machines he said
00:03:18
to make a computer work twice as fast
00:03:20
you change its code and system you don't
00:03:23
tell it to try harder yet we too often
00:03:25
think we need to try harder when our
00:03:27
actions do not result in the outcomes we
00:03:29
want we slam our fists on the try harder
00:03:31
button and yell let's run it again
00:03:33
failing to see that we're not the
00:03:35
problem our systems are
00:03:37
once I understood this the quality of my
00:03:39
life did a 180 I approached every Avenue
00:03:41
of my life in terms of systems and I
00:03:43
unlocked the key to solving any problem
00:03:45
I like to ask myself if this isn't
00:03:47
working for me how can I make it work
00:03:50
for me what can I do to make it easier
00:03:52
to do that thing I'll give you an
00:03:54
example I was having a really hard time
00:03:56
waking up early in the morning I was
00:03:59
waking up but it was hard to wake up I
00:04:01
was snoozing alarms until I couldn't
00:04:03
anymore I had to put my phone across the
00:04:05
room and I had to leave sticky notes All
00:04:07
Around My Room and on my phone reminded
00:04:10
me to not go back to bed post alarm did
00:04:13
they work sure sometimes but it was hard
00:04:15
and unenjoyable I continued pressing the
00:04:18
try harder button expecting things to
00:04:21
change they didn't of course because how
00:04:22
do you expect life to change if you
00:04:24
don't change
00:04:25
I kept at this insane behavior until I
00:04:27
came across a Cajun koi Academy video
00:04:29
where they talked about instead of
00:04:31
setting a wake-up time set a bedtime and
00:04:34
you guys my life changed overnight
00:04:36
literally since then I've never had a
00:04:39
hard time waking up whenever I sleep at
00:04:41
my bedtime you've probably heard people
00:04:42
say we are the product of our
00:04:44
environment well we are also the product
00:04:47
of our systems when our systems are
00:04:49
efficient and effective we are also
00:04:51
efficient and effective and when our
00:04:53
systems don't work it doesn't mean that
00:04:55
we're not trying hard enough it just
00:04:57
means that the system is not aligned
00:04:58
with expected outcomes and we need to
00:05:00
change it so one of the biggest skills I
00:05:03
honed with the journey is knowing when
00:05:04
and how to change my systems I don't
00:05:06
press the try harder button I pinpoint
00:05:08
the problem research the problem and
00:05:10
change the code I may need to change the
00:05:12
code a few times before landing on the
00:05:13
one that works but as long as I'm trying
00:05:15
to change the system and to solve the
00:05:16
problem I always figure it out
00:05:20
be so good they can't ignore you I help
00:05:23
this advice high above as my shiny North
00:05:25
Star and followed it closely throughout
00:05:27
the journey what does it mean to be so
00:05:29
good how does one become so good the
00:05:32
definition of good is subjective based
00:05:34
on personal goals and perspectives so
00:05:36
Define good however you want but I do
00:05:39
know how to become good at least I think
00:05:41
I do to become so good you must welcome
00:05:44
discomfort and be extraordinary
00:05:46
discomfort is the gateway to success and
00:05:49
nothing great comes from doing something
00:05:50
easy and ordinary
00:05:52
one must do extra to be extraordinary
00:05:55
this makes sense if you want to be so
00:05:57
good they can't ignore you you must have
00:05:59
a reason for them to not ignore you
00:06:02
who's a planner I know I am I love
00:06:04
planning my steps on how to get from
00:06:06
point A to point B being a planner is
00:06:09
beneficial in many cases but not when
00:06:11
you want to be so good that can't ignore
00:06:13
you an attempt to be so good planning is
00:06:16
just another productive procrastination
00:06:18
tactic to not take action oh I must know
00:06:21
what to do before I do it
00:06:23
um no you don't take action first then
00:06:25
figure out what to do down the line
00:06:27
being extraordinary requires extra hours
00:06:29
extra effort and extra dedication not
00:06:32
extra planning extra waiting and extra
00:06:34
pondering no one knows what they're
00:06:36
really doing step over that mind bump
00:06:38
and start climbing now that's the only
00:06:40
way to become so good
00:06:43
tolerant with others strict with self
00:06:46
one thing I like about myself is my
00:06:48
assiduous attitude I'm hard on myself
00:06:50
but I'm understanding of others I build
00:06:53
a moat on my emotions but I'm
00:06:54
compassionate with how others Express
00:06:56
theirs I trenched through discomfort but
00:06:58
I try to never make others feel
00:07:00
uncomfortable I believe being Insidious
00:07:02
strengthens mental gain and builds
00:07:04
self-reliance and it generates
00:07:06
compassion and confidence
00:07:08
people deserve the best version of me I
00:07:11
deserve to be the best version of me I
00:07:13
don't go easy on myself I don't make
00:07:15
excuses when a problem happens I solve
00:07:18
it for example when I'm getting a little
00:07:20
fluffy I work out when I am mentally
00:07:22
blocked I meditate and do self therapy
00:07:25
what I feel spiritually disconnected
00:07:26
from my soul and surroundings I let go
00:07:29
of the expected and live in the present
00:07:32
what I do is for myself but the best
00:07:34
version of me is to share it is
00:07:36
important to be strict on how I show up
00:07:38
every day because my ultimate goal is to
00:07:40
make every moment count and what my
00:07:42
situous attitude I definitely made the
00:07:45
most out of the snow Plan B Journey
00:07:47
how can I benefit this movement Ryan
00:07:50
Trahan said this once in a completely
00:07:52
changed my outlook on how I want to show
00:07:53
up instead of seeking for emotions and
00:07:56
feelings I want to experience whether
00:07:57
that is happiness peace or Joy how can I
00:08:00
create those emotions and feelings for
00:08:02
others to experience how can I be the
00:08:04
light and bring more bliss to life well
00:08:07
first things first I must be responsible
00:08:09
for my emotions
00:08:11
I learned to be non-reactive and to
00:08:13
think before I feel is this emotion
00:08:16
serving me if not then it's probably not
00:08:19
serving anyone else secondly I learned
00:08:22
to live presently the present moment is
00:08:24
always the better moment I realized that
00:08:26
I didn't need to chase this better
00:08:28
version of me I'm already her I am who I
00:08:31
want to be and when I finally understood
00:08:34
this I became a better calmer and warmer
00:08:37
person I became the happiness piece and
00:08:40
joy that I used to see for and I want to
00:08:42
continue finding more meaningful ways to
00:08:44
benefit the moment Bliss is so
00:08:47
contagious and I want to spread it by
00:08:49
thinking positively seeing life's Beauty
00:08:51
and saying kind things
00:08:53
when you want something you are given
00:08:56
the opportunity to achieve what you want
00:08:59
if you want courage you will be
00:09:01
presented with your worst fear if you
00:09:03
want love you will question your Worth
00:09:05
and be heartbroken if you want success
00:09:08
you will be placed under pressure and
00:09:10
tempted by Pleasure if you want peace
00:09:12
you'll be interrupted and your patience
00:09:14
will be tested I wanted to overcome
00:09:16
self-doubt so I was given many
00:09:18
rejections and challenged by many
00:09:20
situations that heightened my doubts
00:09:23
about myself but these rejections were
00:09:25
opportunities and opportunities are only
00:09:28
given to those who are ready and the
00:09:30
more we want something the more we have
00:09:32
to give in order to receive
00:09:35
the no plumpy Journey taught me how to
00:09:37
overcome self-doubt it taught me how to
00:09:40
think in terms of system to solve my
00:09:42
blocks I learned how to convert
00:09:44
challenges into opportunities for
00:09:46
example perfectionism was stopping me
00:09:48
from launching the power up Club so I
00:09:50
gave myself one month to build a
00:09:52
business and to execute it I wanted to
00:09:55
break habits of mediocrity so I fixed my
00:09:57
problems by reading books listening to
00:09:59
podcasts and trying again and again
00:10:01
after each failure I want to grow my
00:10:04
circle so I made it a goal to make six
00:10:06
new friends and got my introverted booty
00:10:08
out there
00:10:09
I was crippled with self-doubt so I
00:10:12
embarked on a six-month journey to do
00:10:14
everything in my power to overcome it
00:10:16
these were challenges turned into goals
00:10:18
that were converted into opportunities
00:10:20
to help me achieve my wants
00:10:25
when we want something when we want to
00:10:27
be so good at Ken Norris when we want to
00:10:30
change and benefit the moment we have to
00:10:32
do the internal work and show up every
00:10:34
single day throughout the journey I was
00:10:36
always very excited and eager to learn
00:10:37
and listen every single day I moved
00:10:40
through life as a person I presently am
00:10:42
and I was very zealous to make every day
00:10:44
count and I was definitely very
00:10:46
ambitiously action driven I found Bliss
00:10:49
by detaching from outcomes and I learned
00:10:52
to be enterprising because life always
00:10:54
has other plans I also found trust
00:10:57
Within Myself I trust that I can grow
00:10:59
under any condition and finally I learn
00:11:02
and I'm still learning how can I benefit
00:11:04
the moment the no plan B Journey
00:11:06
kick-started a new self Evolution
00:11:09
journey I fell in love with myself all
00:11:11
over again and I discovered that I'm
00:11:14
pretty good at facing my fears there's
00:11:16
no doubt in that I've been doing that
00:11:18
for the past six months so you may be
00:11:20
wondering what's next Lizzy another
00:11:22
Journey well maybe I'll see what happens
00:11:26
Amy has something in mind but until then
00:11:28
I'll continue to carry everything I've
00:11:30
learned throughout this journey and to
00:11:32
show up every single day thank you for
00:11:34
sticking on my side throughout this
00:11:35
whole entire Journey it was really cool
00:11:36
to have you guys there and for some of
00:11:37
you to do it with me and thank you Annie
00:11:40
long for being the inspiration behind
00:11:41
this whole thing love you guys so so
00:11:43
much and I'll see you guys very soon bye
