“How do you start?” (10.26.16)

Those who are needy of attention, Patricia, hide from themselves their greatness. 
Those who are needy of opportunity, Patricia, hide from themselves their power to create. 
And those who are needy of love, Patricia, hide from themselves what’s already there. 
But boy, oh boy, are they in for a wild ride.
Love you like crazy,

“You only look crazy until it works, then you’re a genius!” – NineFrogs

How do you start?

For years.

I always felt I had something bigger in me.

That I had a bigger purpose.

Through all my years in the corporate world.

Always had this nagging ‘something’ in me.

Saying:

‘Patti, this is good and all, but you need to be doing something much bigger.’

Of course.

At the time.

I had no idea.

What that ‘something’ was?

But.

I did know there was something else.

Every few years or so.

I would switch positions in the company.

Back in my Cablevision days.

Thinking ‘maybe’ this is the “thing”.

I need to be complete.

Needless to say.

It never happened.

I’d be happy for a while.

Then my ‘bigger thing syndrome’ would return.

And.

I’d feel totally unfulfilled 🙁

So I have BIG news to share!

I recently opened a shop on Amazon.

As many of my clients are still reluctant to go out shopping.

I decided to bring my favorite fashion finds to everyone.

Take a look:  https://www.amazon.com/shop/ninefrogs

New items added daily.

It became very clear to me.

After all those years.

The corporate world.

Was just not my world anymore.

I just didn’t fit in.

And quite honestly.

I didn’t want to be there.

I should also add.

In my last six months.

To say I wasn’t pleased with certain people.

In the Flight Department.

Would be an understatement!

The lies.

The deceit.

The betrayal.

I don’t know how those people.

Live with themselves.

For they treated me?

And trust me.

All these years later.

I remember everything they did.

And the only thing that gives me peace.

Is that KARMA.

Has no expiration date!

And then a magical thing happened one day.

The Universe came and answered my prayers.

And got me the f*ck out of there.

And away from those people.

And now I was free!

It was the most magical feeling!

And so I decided.

It was time.

To start MY own world.

So in 2012.

I took a giant leap of faith.

And started my NineFrogs Image Consulting business.

That’s when things started changing for me.

Like big time changes.

That ‘something’ was happening here.

That “thing” I had been searching for, for so long.

Was here!

I couldn’t believe it.

Was this really it?

Turns out.

It took me a bit of time.

To get the right fit.

There were LOTS of adjustments.

New website.

After I just did my website.

Changed some services.

Had to give up some people.

That were holding me back.

Had to learn a whole bunch of new things.

But still.

With all the changes.

I was loving every second of it.

That sums it up pretty well.☝☝☝

Going after your dream.

Is neither a part-time or full-time job.

It’s most definitely a LIFESTYLE.

And the funny thing.

You aren’t really aware of it.

At first.

You think you’re just starting a business.

Unprepared (mostly) for what’s coming next!

You start to find.

As time goes by.

That every decision in your life.

Is based on your business.

Someone told me once.

In my early years of my business.

That you need to eat, sleep, breathe your business“.

I’ll be honest with you.

At the time.

I didn’t really get that.

But shortly thereafter.

I got it.

Because.

That’s where you find your magic.

When your business is in YOU!

You can always tell.

When someone is really passionate.

About something they are doing.

Like J.K. Rowling was when she wrote Harry Potter.

Taking all kinds of chances that it would be a hit.

Obviously, not knowing if it would?

Because, no one ever knows?

Not really.

I mean.

You hope it works?

That you’re on the right track?

But, you don’t know do you?

There’s that thing.

About people who are really passionate.

About what they are doing?

Their eyes light up.

And their voice.

Usually goes up a few octives.

And.

Gets a little louder.

And if they’re like me.

They can’t stop talking about it!

And this reason I know this?

Because I have been told so many times.

Over the years.

That’s how you know.

You are onto something.

When you have that in you.

Which, btw, is not planted in everyone.

But if you are fortunate to have it.

It’s magical.

It is life-changing.

It’s like you have been awoke.

Like never before.

Like, you are seeing the world.

In a whole new light.

And the thing is.

YOU are the only one who sees it.

Which is why.

Many will think you are crazy.

And.

Not afraid to tell you btw.

But, don’t worry about them.

You know it.

And that’s all that counts.

Yes.

Very true.

Trust me here.

You will fail.

And you will fail again.

Many more times after that.

That’s part of the process ;-(

Did I mention?

That I actually started a NineFrogs business.

BEFORE this business.

Yes, I started out as an Administrative Support business.

And guess what?

I hated it!

And then a funny thing happened.

The Universe came knocking on my door again.

And helped me get the business I truly desired.

Talk about spiritual intervention?

I have to do a video on that story.

Here’s the thing.

You can’t quit.

And trust me.

You WILL want to quit!

But, you can’t.

It’s that simple.

You just need to suck it up.

And make it happen.

That’s why they call it.

A process.

That’s what it’s like.

Your mindset.

Will most likely.

Be different.

From those around you.

Just remember.

They can’t see.

What you see.

Because, as I will remind you again.

This is your path.

Your vision.

Your passion.

Because, no one else can see it.

Only you.

Remember that!

Hope.

Belief.

Yes, you will need a lot of both.

Along with a lot.

Of other things.

Like.

Courage.

Confidence.

Determination.

Resilience.

Tenacity.

Patience.

You get the idea.

Here’s some advice.

To keep your momentum going.

Baby steps.

No one expects.

You to be an overnight success.

And.

It rarely happens anyway.

Just.

Do something everyday.

To get you closer.

To where you want to be!

And for the record.

There’s no secret sauce.

No, one size fits all.

Cookie cutter way to do it.

Sure.

People will tell you there is (there isn’t).

So, just follow your heart.

And make sure you show up everyday.

Not just when it’s convenient.

Remember.

That spark was put in you for a reason.

So.

Don’t let it go out before you go out!👈👈👈

“The fire within her grew stronger

Like the blazing sun

She stood up even strong

For the tides to overrun.”

Afiya Khan

Here’s another thing.

Don’t be afraid to take chances.

Because.

How else are you going to find what works?

And what doesn’t?

This isn’t for the timid.

You know? “In it to win it!” (11.21.16)

This entrepreneurial thing.

Take chances.

Because you never know!

That’s a wrap!
