On the brink of financial ruin – IRS threats, losing big clients, her vendors, office space and beloved home – my client was in a whole heap of trouble. This is the 11th hour.
Here’s Part 2 of the Never Give Up story that I mentioned I’d share on a recent TIP.
It all started when my client bought out her partner for $$$.
She didn’t find out until months later that the IRS would saddle her with her partner’s share of the taxes, and they wanted to take her house.
Not only did she need substantial six figures to pay for taxes and business overhead quickly, expected income from clients was delayed significantly.
The dominoes started falling, and she delayed payments to her vendors (even though she’d always been on time before).
Some vendors started to bug her very big client for money, and he called her office in an outrage. Even though he received great results from her service for over a decade, he was on the verge of wanting out.
An hour before she was scheduled to talk with him one-on-one, she and I had a session.
Panic. Fear. Hopelessness. If he backed out now, she’d barely have a chance for her business to survive. Escape to Mexico was considered.
But during our time together, she did a 180 turnaround.
With little likelihood of coming up with $50K in an hour, we used techniques to change her trajectory of a train wreck that looked inevitable.
Instead of hiding, she decided to talk with his soul, stop avoiding him, take responsibility and walk through her fears.
She switched from poor me to being proactive.
When he didn’t show up for their appointment, she contacted him.
By the time they talked the following day, she was an empowered woman.
She was sincerely apologetic. However, with strength, she focused on how her company was poised for their best year ever.
He said that he trusted she would handle it. End of crisis.
Very soon after, she was told that eviction proceedings were to begin to boot her out of her office because she was ten days overdue – delivered by management of the building owner with whom she’s had a 13 year business relationship.
Now, she was feeling great about her ability neither to hide nor react in fear to her seemingly disastrous situation.
She said, “I felt that if I’d face things, I’d have to be bitchy. Not true. Being honest, humble and empowered worked.”
Miraculously, she learned that her landlord had been avoiding her. He was mortified that his manager had issued an eviction notice.
Instead of her apologizing, this man who’s worth millions brought her candy to apologize!
Her reaction to the news from the IRS set in motion an energy of fear where she became a magnet for more debacles.
When she let go of what-if-the-worse-happens or resentment of how she got in her situation, she shifted her energy.
When she focused on her crises, more piled up.
When she focused on her successes and positive future, her obstacles dissolved.
“I know God is ready to bless me beyond my wildest dreams, and I went through this to understand profitability, be brave and be responsible instead of avoiding problems.”
Learning about the IRS sent her into despair for a few days.
But, this masterminder decided to use what looked like the death knell of her business to motivate her to greater success.
Recently, major, national businesses have become her clients, transforming her from a falling star to a rock star… which will solve her IRS debt.
And, she’s chosen to be done with 11th hour saves.
Your TIP is to look at something that’s not working for you in your business or life… change your perspective and shift your energy.
What are you avoiding? How can you deal with it in an empowered way?
No more tail between your legs. No defensiveness. No lashing out. No blaming. No complaining or whining. No being overwhelmed with the seeming inevitability of defeat. No making yourself wrong or beating yourself up.
No more avoiding people or appointments because you don’t want to deal with stuff.
No more making excuses and lying in your attempts to save face.
No more acting like little kids who hold their hands in front of their faces while thinking nobody can see them because they cover their eyes.
Instead, tap into your inner resources and put things in perspective.
ALIGN WITH THE DIVINE.
YOU are greater than any problem!
You have infinite power to create and recreate your world.
Look at your bigger picture. See how, in spite of appearances, your life is arranging itself on your behalf.
Believe in you.
Never give up even if it looks like you’re in the 11th hour.
Know that things are always working out for you – because they are!
