Permission
(read this article online at http://annvertel.com/permission/)

Remember when you were a child? Everything you got to do had to come with permission from someone else - your parents, your coach, the hall monitor, the babysitter or any other grown up in charge of your behavior.

If your environment was healthy, you learned to ask for permission and got it when you had proved you could be trusted. If it was unhealthy, you eventually learned to stop asking because the answer was always "no."

So now you're an adult.

A grown up.

A woman with other people in your life you may "answer to" - a husband, children, a boss, maybe even still your parents. You are responsible to them for the role you have chosen to play in their life.

But don't confuse that with needing their permission.

Your destiny for your life is entirely up to you. They will not give you the authority to be a success - you don't need it and...you already possess it anyway.

If you feel like you're waiting for a knock on the door, for someone to tell you "Ready, set, go!" you are waiting for a fantasy.

It's not coming.

In fact it already came a long time ago when you first started your business. Did you miss it?

The other people in your life would be perfectly happy if you don't change.

But only changing will help you become the woman you've always wanted to be. Only changing will get you the lifestyle you know you deserve. Only changing will allow you to build a legacy, a dynasty, a foundation so rich and so abundant that you can shower others with encouragement to do the same.

You need to change, big change happens by taking daily small steps, and you don't need permission. So get to it!

• What is one daily habit you will start today?
• If you called one extra person each day, what would your books look like in a month?
• What is one food you will stop eating beginning right this minute?
• What is your new bedtime, no matter what?
• If you spoke to a potential client who intimidated you every single day, how long would it take before it came naturally? (less time than you think!)

You were made for this business.
You were made to run your own life and determine your own future.
You were not made to spend the rest of your life in a cubicle helping someone else become wealthy. This is your time, this is your place....and you have all the permission in the world!
