I just received an email accusing me of all sorts; of not being properly qualified and as a result, not being able to help others properly.

The lady finished off by saying she would make it her business to tell everyone about me.

No one wants to receive an email like this. I felt as though I’d been punched in the stomach.

I’m sharing this with you because if you have a fear of criticism and of receiving an email like this, you will never become all that you could be.

I am all about empowering others, especially women, to stop waiting for permission or outside validation.

I share that I am not formally qualified to do what I do. I started coaching before there were any courses available.

I didn’t wait to be told I was ready or good enough. I wrote the book that sparked thousands to train as a Coach, Be Your Own Life Coach.

I’ve helped thousands of people over 20 years to make more money, do the work they’re here to do, write bestselling books and make a difference.

My true qualification comes from my life and my innate talents. It’s the same with you.

That’s what I teach and what I’ll continue to teach, whatever it triggers in some people.

It has to be the same for you.

Get clear on where you stand and stand firm. Will you be criticised? Will your success trigger others? For sure.

But will you stay in the wings? Will you hold back from speaking your truth? I hope not.

Be brave and be all that you can be.

With you all the way ☺
