Is there an idea that keeps coming back to you? Something you’ve thought about doing for years? Maybe you’ve written it down, talked about it, started it once and then put it away.
And yet, for some reason, it keeps coming back.
Today, I want to tell you the story of one of those ideas for me.
It was an idea called ELEVATE and it took almost a decade to become what it is today.
The original idea for ELEVATE came to me back in 2015.
I had just started working with my mentor Bob Proctor, and if you’ve listened to the last few episodes, you’ll know this was a period of enormous growth for me. I had written out this C-Type Goal to help 1,000 clients benefit from Thinking Into Results.
My mind was really open to possibilities and all the different ways that could happen.
In May of 2015, I had this idea “ELEVATE” and it was going to be a retreat in Port Douglas.
Well it didn’t really get off the ground, but instead of letting that stop me or thinking the idea wasn’t very good – I went to work developing myself.
This week’s episode tells that story of preparing yourself for opportunities instead of waiting, wishing or hoping you’ll get there one day.
I started running seminars to 5 people, then 30, then a hundred. I joined Bob Proctor on stage in Toronto and Los Angeles – all my skills and experience was being put to good use, creating new results and helping others create the success they really wanted.
Then in 2023, when the idea for ELEVATE circled back – I knew the time was now.
As we head into ELEVATE 2027, our fourth year in a row, I have the absolute privilege of Brian and Cory Proctor joining me on stage and in the room.
Brian spent more than 30 years working alongside his father, Bob Proctor.
He taught on those stages, sat in those rooms and he’ll be with us in 2027 and now we are preparing to welcome 300 people into the room.
As the great Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly says:
“From little things, big things grow.”
Here’s what I really want you to take from this story.
Moving before you’re ready doesn’t necessarily mean you have to build the entire thing tomorrow.
When I had the idea for ELEVATE in 2015, I wasn’t ready to produce the event it was destined to become. I moved anyway, right where I was, with what I had.
So my question for you this week is:
What idea keeps coming back to you?
ELEVATE was still a scary idea to commit to when it came back to me, but I trusted my intuition, and I knew I was ready to do it.
What are you waiting for? Make up your mind and make a decision and take the next step.
I’d love to invite you to experience ELEVATE for yourself, on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th of February at The Langham on the Gold Coast.
Brian and Cory Proctor will be joining me in person, and Early Bird VIP and General Registration are now open.
I’ll leave all the details in the show notes on how to book your seat in the room today.
