When fear stops you…

audience 1845231 1280

I felt naked and everyone was just staring at me.

Could I really show myself like that, on stage and in front of all those people? Would anyone trust me? I knew this wouldn’t work out – I shouldn’t have agreed to Mark’s idea…

Shannon here… that’s what I was thinking before I took the plunge – and it felt like I was about to die.

But it was now or never:

Either I listened to my deeper yearning to step fully into my calling- or go back and work for my many bosses, feeling like a small huge part of me was dying.

 

Before I Took The Plunge, I Didn’t Think Success Was Possible for Me – Only for ‘Everyone Else’

 

You see, for years I was planning everyone’s live events.

I did everything to make sure their events were a massive success.

I worked my ass off… and helped them make 100’s of 1000’s of dollars.

I justified it and told myself, “I’m paying my dues.”

I stayed up way past midnight, every night of an event.

I woke up at 5 am and ran on adrenaline all day long.

3 gigs like that paid my bills, barely.

Because these gigs came in waves.

Some months 5, some….0.

For a while I was going strong with 3 gigs a month and felt like it was all going to be fine.

I was helping other Conscious Entrepreneurs spread their message, impact the lives of thousands of people and make the world a better place.

And I saw the money they made.

I saw how these events I produced for them earned them High Six Figures in 1 weekend.

So how did I feel?

Like I wasn’t good enough.

I felt like something was wrong.

I mean, how was I working my ass off, making everyone else happy (and profitable) but myself.

I was happy for them – but I knew I had a deeper purpose.

I ALSO had a deep message to share.

I ALSO could light up a room.

I ALSO could make money.

But that’s where I stopped – I didn’t think I could do it.

I knew I could make it happen for others.

But could I do it? No, I struggled to believe in MYSELF.

I mean, I didn’t have an email list of 20,000 people.

I didn’t have an email list of 80!

Yes, I had energy and a message – but so did everyone else I met.

 

But Then I Met Mark… And Everything Changed!

 

It was around this time that I started dating Mark.

At one point we met for a glass of wine and I told him how I was feeling.

And then, he said this one sentence that changed everything:

“Why don’t you just put on your own event?”

Now, it’s not that I didn’t think of that before.

It’s just that I didn’t have anyone who would come!

And then he said:

“Do it, even if no one comes….but you know they will, even if it’s 5 people.

You just have to take the first step.”

So…I listened to Mark.

But I knew I was really listening to myself – he was guiding me there.

You know what it’s like to be trying this all on your own.

It’s impossible because we simply stand in our own way.

All I needed was a little support – and Mark was like an angel who came at the perfect time.

So here’s what I did.

I hosted a (very) small Meetup and 8 people showed up.

But to me – it felt like a room of 80,000 people because of what this meant.

This meant that I was really starting.

Because I was – I was starting.

And even though I stood there feeling naked and vulnerable and doubtful and afraid…

I took the plunge and gave my presentation.

2 people took me up on my offer at the end…. and I turned that into $10,000!

If it was 2 or 2 million – it felt the same:

LIKE HEAVEN!

There’s nothing like it.

The feeling of doing what I love, of sharing my message, of growing, of making an impact, of being ME.

Hot and Authentic Shannon.

And you know what?

It really was just the beginning.

Because those 8 people turned into 20. And 20 to 50. And 50 to 80.

At our last Big Impact Live we had close to 200 people.

We’ve generated over 7 Figures in the last 20 months of business.

Yes, you saw me just shed a tear – because I didn’t think I could do it.

But all I needed was someone to BELIEVE in me.

And all you need is someone to believe in you & help you a little.

To guide you a little.

To just help you get started.

Which is what I’d like to offer you right now – some personal support.

If you need some guidance to help getting started – email support@bigimpactlive.com right now for a Complimentary “Speaker Breakthrough Session’ (valued at $495).

Trust me – all you need to get from where you are to where you want to be is this phone call.

It’s the answer you’ve been praying for.

It’s what I needed when Mark and I met – and it changed everything.

And if you’re a client with us already, prepare any questions you have for our next Big Impact Support Call (you know who you are).

Here’s the thing:

Mark actually told me one more thing.

The first thing he told me helped me get started.

The second thing he told me?

That helped me get the 2 new clients.

And that’s what I’m going to share with you next week.

What do you think Mark told me next?

 

In your corner and by your side,

Mark & Shannon
