I believe each one of us has shown up on the planet with a purpose.

This is sometimes referred to as our calling.

Our purpose or calling is to deliver to the world something that NO ONE ELSE could ever deliver.

What gives you the right?

Many times as I work with members and mentees in BuildingYourIdealPractice.com, I hear someone ask what gives them the right to have a private practice, speak or write, or have a website.

I love changed that question around to this statement that I passionately believe with everything in me:

"If you have something inside of you that can help other people, not only do you have the right to do it, I am convinced you have the obligation to do it."

There is a scene in the life changing book "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews in which the main character is being shown something powerful by the angel Gabriel. He gets to see all the things that could have been if people would have just kept trying.

More than enough to go around

One more belief I want you to have and then we are done.

Instead of wondering where in the world you are going to find clients, change your thinking to the FACT that there are so many people out there that want and need what you have you could never get to them all.
