yo, it has started!…

⚡️

I still wonder if people in that coffee shop that day, heard our conversation that my brother and I of him shutting down his for first business (LAND OF LEAN) and brand new company.

⚡️

I am not sure if they could hear how loud my heart was pounding that day him taking that step of creating a new brand.

⚡️

I’d never been so scared to make a decision and neither has @jeff thornton.

⚡️

Yes or no.

⚡️

Self-doubt or self-trust was never in the equation.

However, this time was a bit different.

⚡️

It was 2017.

⚡️

It had all the makings of a regular Monday, except Jeff was on the phone signing up for a seminar + coaching to grow the business to new levels and get more clarity on scaling his idea.

⚡️

And in that moment, time froze…

⚡️

You know those movie moments when you’re watching the main character about to make a life-changing decision, but just before they do it, they hesitate?

⚡️

Yes that point was reached!

⚡️

You’re watching them start to doubt, shaking your head, literally on the edge of your seat, yelling at them to GO ALL IN because you know they’ll regret it if they don’t.

⚡️

VOIGHT: ‘’Take the leap’’

⚡️

We get a choice to take a risk without knowing what will happen.

⚡️

The truth is being from a hard working military family, we have always been raised to bet on ourselves.

⚡️

No one in my family was in business.

⚡️

We have tried different marketing avenues.

⚡️

We didn’t study marketing in school.

But had the tenacity to make sure we keep persistent

⚡️

Still, my favorite stories — in the movies or in real life — were the ones where the person believed in themselves. That is the most powerful to me!

⚡️

Even when it was scary, even when it was easier to sit on the sidelines, even when it came at a cost.

⚡️

Hands shaking, pacing around, ignoring the curious glances from people around us, he said into the phone and to his business mentor:

⚡️

JEFF: “I’m in.”

⚡️

To everyone in that coffee shop, it was just another Monday.

⚡️

For me, it was the day I saw my brother decide to trust his leap, with my arms stretched wide and with a unbreakable spirit.

⚡️

Even though the fear did not subside I would always continue to see him run towards the fear. Streaming, Investing in coaching, books and so much more.

⚡️

Fast forward to today.

⚡️

It was not the coaching program he had said “YES” to — it was a transformation on betting on himself on a new venture.

⚡️

He went from the Technology Consultant world with ZERO advertising, ZERO marketing, yet a keen business acumen to becoming trusted in the health and wellness space.

⚡️

I share this story with you to let you know that he was just like you in this story:

⚡️

Scared, filled with self-doubt, and skeptical.

⚡️

Just today on Memorial Day weekend (and also so fitting being from a military family)

⚡️

Releasing his very first SALES FUNNEL for his company, QSN (Quick Save Nutrition)

⚡️

In my opinion showing up making the call was the the best decision he made for his business + mindset.

⚡️

Your story could be pretty different his — different challenges, fears, circumstances.

⚡️

But I’m guessing you know that feeling in your gut when you have an opportunity in front of you, heart pounding, not sure of the outcome, but you’re drawn to it… I REPEAT your drawn to it…

⚡️

Make sure to make that CALL, FINISH THE PROJECT, or TAKE YOUR LEAP.

⚡️

Because you know you’d look back on this moment and regret not giving yourself a chance.

⚡️

Cheers to Jeff and QSN we are rooting for you!
