It finally happened.
Once I gave myself FULL permission to put ALL of me - the entertainment history, love of pop culture, visual arts, film, home design, love of parenting, emotions, six senses, etc., into my business and branding, I broke through that elusive thing I call a "vortex" - resulting in feeling FULLY alive and more authentic.
Five years ago when I re-invented my life - I truly started over in every way. I purposely walked away from my 22 year entertainment career - rich and exciting as it was - I chose to give full attention to my new Journey as a coach and mentor. I had a "Divine Urge" to evolve and move forward into a new version of my life then in 2007; I just didn't know what was in store for me or the path I would choose.
Along the way as I followed that Divine Urge, I left behind (temporarily) the creative, alive, and vital Marla whose core exudes artistry - a very expressive ALIVE artist who matches all those passions described above.
Unbeknownst to me, it was not until I re-branded myself and my business this year would I re-discover the REAL ME - the high energy, fun, happy, highly creative, passionate woman who was hiding behind the spotlight. I traveled through the vortex to the other side feeling I have come back home.
Prior to breaking through the vortex I felt so stuck having attempted several times to uplevel my business financially and otherwise. When I broke through that vortex – my entire energy shifted to a new level – like a re-birthing. The moment I realized I succeeded a very demanding goal, I did the “happy dance” celebrating that defining moment! Another evolution complete. (My mentor calls it going through the wonkiness).

So how do you break through that frustrating vortex that keeps you stuck behind the wall craving change and success?
Here are four tips to breaking through:
1. Take a deep cleansing breath and finally make THE decision to re-brand. No more excuses. Get clear on who you want to become. Make decisions from where you want to be; not where you are. Have deep trust and faith the right experts and support team will show up to take you through the branding journey. They will be a perfect match for your vision – the web designers, branding coaches, VA’s, etc.
2. Even when your goal (whatever it is) seems so elusive each time you attempt to achieve it – DON’T GIVE UP. (Trust me I had many thoughts of throwing in the towel many times thinking this goal was not for me). Keep your focus on the vision AS IF it’s done - feel it, see it, think it as complete BEFORE it manifests. Put your heart into this way more than your head.
3. Knowing the journey can be a roller coaster - surround yourself with a group of high achieving, compassionate, real, spiritually rich people who believe in abundance, fulfillment and courage AND are doing the same growth. INVEST in you and join a mastermind program with a mentor who is living the life you respect and want. The tribe will be your best allies along the emotional journey. They become your best inspiration and support; they will hold you to the fire!
4. Document your re-branding journey so it becomes the story you share with others to inspire them and pay it forward. Your story is part of your NEW brand.
