Ready to move past stuck to success and stay there? Let's create a roadmap for 2025
Have you ever felt like you are living someone else’s life or someone else’s version of what your life should be? Do you feel like you are spinning the wheels, but getting nowhere? Do you feel like you should be happier or at a different place in your life to where you are, but you have become so lost that you don’t even know where you are, let alone where you want to be? Do you feel a burning desire to do something, be somewhere else, but have no clue where that is? Do you feel like there is something that you need to be doing, something more purposeful and the more time passes by the more urgent that call becomes?
I believe that we are all here for a reason, for a purpose and in order to fulfil that purpose we need to be INPOWERED, we need to be able to intuitively tap into that inner power and know how to operate from that position on a daily basis.
The problem is that most of us look outside of ourselves for solutions. Other people cannot know our purpose, or what we truly want – how can they possibly know when most of us don’t know ourselves? We are also conditioned by a set of rules that tell us what we SHOULD do so and before we know it we are living someone’s life or someone else’s version of our life.
Now more than ever people are looking for purpose. Personal and collective crises lead us to reevaluate what is important to us and what brings meaning and purpose. In a 2019 global happiness survey 85% of those surveyed felt that having a meaningful life was important in their overall happiness. Yet when surveyed at the end of 2023 only 29% felt satisfied with the meaning they were creating in their lives.
I have spent the past 20 years in the empowerment industry and the same amount of time researching and studying success strategies and in 2019 I published the Unlock Your Power series of books with 101 techniques to become limitless, to essentially become INPOWERED. That journey now continues with the INPOWERED® ELEVATION TECHNIQUE, a 3 step process to create lasting change.
Empowerment is waiting for the white knight to come charging in to save the day, it’s the magic wand, the instant fix to our problems and the roadblocks that we face, but I now know, as do you, that there is no white knight or magic wand, the magic is within us and has been all the time, but it takes work and we would rather have the quick fix, the empowerment path. I now know that I did. Yet each time I went down that path I got some improvement or change, only to bounce back to where I was before. Because all the while I was seeking to be fixed, I was wasting time when I could be doing the inner work.
It’s not easy, in fact, its uncomfortable. Instead of spinning my wheels uncontrollably because it felt better than standing still I stood still. The moment I stood still long enough I faced truth of my current reality and started the inner work of INPOWERMENT.
INPOWERED® ELEVATION TECHNIQUE
3 Step Process
Step 1 : Sit in the Space
The first step is about observation without judgment of where you are right now.
What are your mindsets, emotional patterns, habits, and behaviours that keep you stuck? Acknowledging where you are is crucial to understanding the path forward. This step is about awareness, allowing you to clearly see the starting point of your journey towards a more INPowered state. This step is where you will set a clear line in the sand and a marker for the starting point of your journey towards INPowerment.
Step 2: Elevate
Once you’ve identified your starting point and how you got to where you currently are, it’s time to take the leap to the next level. Here you will elevate your mindset. This involves reframing your perceptions and accessing the tools and strategies that can help you rise above challenges. Here, you’ll explore what elevates you so you can level up your life. This phase is all about taking your life and success to new heights and levels of success. This is finding the right path that heads in the direction that you want your life to go.
Step 3 : Align
The final step is alignment. It’s not enough to know what changes to make; you need to embed these changes into your daily life. This means creating a roadmap for success that aligns with your new mindset and habits, ensuring that your transformation is not just a momentary shift but a lasting transformation into a more successful reality. This is sticking to the right path until it arrives at your destination and then enjoying the view.
