Teaching from Our Millionaire Summit: How to Raise the Bar in Life and Business

Emily Williams speaking on stage at a live IHML event

 

If you missed out on our Millionaire Summit, this is a special treat for you. In this episode, I share the actual recording of my teaching from the training. So, if you’re ready to own your dreams and desires, and if you were ready to hit that coveted seven-figure milestone– like yesterday– you don’t want to miss this. Grab a notebook, get comfortable, and press play. 

“You have to start to trust that you are being guided in what it is that you truly desire to do and that those desires– they’re literally dropped in because that’s what you’re meant to do. It’s not even a question. It’s a no brainer. That’s what you’re meant to do. And once you start trusting that, then you can trust that the people in your life will be there if they’re meant to be there.” -Emily Williams

I was able to raise the bar and build a seven-figure business by keeping a possibility mindset. I held myself to the expectation that I could bring life to my vision and took action in the direction of my dreams. 

And guess what? It’s possible for you too.

But it’s easy to want to do the big thing. Actually doing it? That takes time, effort, and dedication. That’s why I begin this episode with why it’s so important to really specify your goals and own your desires, instead of feeling wrong for them. Being honest with yourself helps uncover the fears that are holding you back. 

Now, you are not alone in your fears (you can hear the real-life fears of the summit attendees in this episode), but you can’t allow yourself to remain stuck. If you want to raise the bar, you can’t keep playing it small. What if instead of fearing your goals, you practiced future gratitude for achievements they will bring? (Hint: it will literally create more positive vibes for you). 

Now I’m not perfect (let’s be honest, no one is), but I know how important it is to commit to myself and my goals no matter what. That’s why I talk about the importance of commitment, consistency, and showing up even when it feels like it is not happening (like during a period of 54 ‘no’s in a row– true story). This devotion and commitment to yourself is the difference between raising the bar or staying where you’re at. 

Successful people have the following in common: They know what it is that they actually want. They uncover what might be holding them back and do the work to overcome and transform their physical and mental blocks. They continue to show up. And last, but certainly not least, they are consistent in their commitment to themselves and their vision.

With that in mind, I wrap up with a series of questions you can ask yourself today to help you get on track to achieving those goals you’ve been dreaming about (remember, dreams without action are just… well, dreams).

Despite all of the insightful advice and actionable steps, there’s so much more to raising the bar that couldn’t possibly fit into a single podcast episode. So, if you’re interested in learning more about how you can raise the bar and hit that seven-figure milestone, check out our I Heart My Life Mastermind to see how we can help you get there.

Quotes: 

“You have to start to trust that you are being guided in what it is that you truly desire to do and that those desires– they’re literally dropped in because that’s what you’re meant to do. It’s not even a question. It’s a no brainer. That’s what you’re meant to do. And once you start trusting that, then you can trust that the people in your life will be there if they’re meant to be there.” -Emily Williams

“Our desires are our fuel. When we deny them, when we make ourselves wrong for them, then we won’t reach them. Because we don’t want to judge ourselves. And if we’re judging those desires, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. So what if you showed gratitude for your desires before they arrive and also just because they exist they’re helping you raise the bar.” -Emily Williams 

“If you are an entrepreneur and looking to do extraordinary things, you need to become extraordinary in terms of your mindset and your actions. So you need to stop holding yourself back. You are capable of far more than you realize. Now, what that takes is a commitment to yourself.” -Emily Williams
