Greatness or Mediocrity? A Matter of Mindset.

April 15th, 2011 By: admin 1 Comment

Mediocrity sees difficulty in every opportunity. Greatness sees opportunity in every difficulty. (paraphrasing Winston Churchill)

Since September, I’ve kept in touch with the graduates of my last Sacred Success™ Retreat.  Part of the curriculum is a year-long follow up.

You know what their primary challenge has been? (Mine too.) Not getting sucked into the Mainstream Mentality,   the way “Everybody” thinks, responds, and sees the world.

Sacred Success™ requires a radically different mindset…because it has a radically different goal.  Mainstream is heading for Mediocrity. Sacred Success™ is going for Greatness.

One of the biggest differences is how each camp views difficulties.

To the masses, problems are at best annoying distractions, if not dreadful disasters, setbacks to surmount as quickly as possible.

In Sacred Success™, however, all problems are considered pathways to Greatness, pointing the way to pursuing your purpose.

Instead of struggling to overcome the obstacles, Sacred Success™ surrenders to every situation, looking for the lessons embedded in the circumstances.

Maintaining that perspective, however, isn’t easy. The mass mentality has an insidiously intense pull that’s always at play. You need a lot of support not to succumb.

If you’re ready to play bigger than ever before… If you’re ready to be supported by a community of likeminded women…If you’re ready to experience what Maria DeCarvalho did (“I left the retreat with a much clearer vision of what is possible for me.  My time with Barbara has helped me recognize doors where I thought there were only walls.”)…then, my friend, you are ready for Sacred Success™.

My next Sacred Success™ Retreat–my first on the East Coast–starts May 12, in Baltimore. But act fast.  We only have 10 places left.  If you’re ready to find doors where there now seem only walls,   register here!!
