Hey savvy leaders. It’s Tammy Meyer. We are here for episode 94! Welcome.
Personal development is the common denominator when it comes to savvy direct sales leaders. It’s the one thing every successful leader has in common.
It’s virtually impossible to do this business, do it well, and not develop as an individual and business leader. It comes with the territory.
It’s part of the journey. And thankfully right?!
I haven’t worked with a leader yet who doesn’t have personal development at the top of her list of things she is grateful for as a result of her success.
So, we’re all lifelong learners. Personal development is in our blood. We can’t stop. Even if we tried.
We read all the books! Am I right? Whether it’s in a book club with our uplines, sidelines, downlines, or mastermind groups or maybe on our own. We read the books.
So, what’s the big problem with all the personal development books?
So many of these books ask readers to consider “What would your highest self do?”
“What would your highest self do?”
The problem is, if we don’t know our highest self, we don’t know what our highest self would do, what she would think, how she would feel, what she would say.
It’s difficult to fully implement and benefit from the teachings. To really apply what we’re reading. Sure it can be a good read. We can have great discussions. We can “get a lot out of it”.
But are we fully implementing the teachings and benefiting if we don’t know our highest self? Or is it just time spent with a good read?
Who is your highest self?
In my experience, most leaders kind-of, sort-of have an idea what “higher-self” is referring to and what they think it might mean.
But truly. You are among the majority if you might be scratching your head on this a bit. If you can’t really articulate who your highest self is. You would be like most if not all.
If we’re to embrace and implement the teachings of these powerful lessons and books we need to know who our highest-self is. If we’re going to continue on the personal development path we need to know who our highest-self is.
If we’re going to know what our highest self would do or say or think or feel we first need to know who our highest self is.
And also what it’s not. Which is easier to start with, I believe.
The opposite of higher self is lower self.
Let me share what lower self is about.
It’s when we have self-limiting beliefs. We might be feeling down and discouraged. “I can’t do this!”
We have self-doubt. We’re critical of ourselves.
There’s negativity.
Our ego is in the way.
It’s dark.
We’ve maybe become attached to the physical, the material things, there’s maybe a monetary tie and status of our rank.
Now, I’m not saying these things are bad. I can see how this would lead one to believe this is bad. Not at all.
We’re simply getting a handle on what higher-self and lower-self mean. And if we’re stuck on these things we have a difficult time, almost impossible, connecting with our highest self. They can’t co-exist.
Rank and money and the physical and material things that is a big piece of what a direct sales business entails. It is not everything. And if we’re going to access our highest self, we can’t stop at these things.
They have to be there in every business. I’m simply pointing out that to connect with your highest self, you need to move beyond the physical, the ego, and the monetary.
Let me also clarify that we need focus, time, and attention to the physical, the monetary, the status, and rank.
That focus may be moments in time, maybe days, weeks, or a season. We will have focus on these things.
Connecting with our highest self means we have this and then some. We’re able to move beyond these. We’re able to let go of negativity. We’re able to stop criticizing our decisions. We’re able to use powerful mantras to shift our self-limiting beliefs.
We can carry forward our status and rank and monetary goals and the physical and know our highest self. Access it.
What does that mean? What does that look like?
This is what we’ll cover in episode 95! I can’t wait to continue the conversation!
