LYNNE: ... came from an idea.
Where did the idea come from?
It didn't exist before.
It's just an idea whose time has come.
We'll say, "No, if you had the idea, that's the sign for the idea.
Right then, right there."
Look at Edison.
I'm sure we all know a lot about Edison and how it took a long time.
He created a lot of things in the meantime, all striving towards realizing the idea that
was given to him.
The same thing for you.
Summer, I have to share yours.
Is that okay?
Do you remember what Summer does to fulfill herself and stuff?
She cleans homes.
I think you guys know that.
She also does meals for them, I just found out today.
I don't remember if you told me that before.
SPEAKER 1: It's new.
LYNNE: It's new.
Yay.
So she prepares meals for them and takes them to their home the next day.
Freshly prepared, leftover by one day.
That's a perfect service.
All of my clients, I'm saying, "Get somebody to clean your home, get them to prep your
meals, get them to do your laundry," all this stuff.
But her business has grown so much.
She's got so much demand.
Well, isn't that a serious problem to have?
So the idea is coming to her, the opportunity.
When I say "idea", wherever it went to, when I say "idea," it could be "opportunity."
So if the idea is preparing meals, it wasn't one that she had acted on before.
So either the idea came to you from super-conscious mind all by itself, or through someone else.
The idea came to her; she started preparing meals.
Now she's got more business than she can handle.
She's got all these rules around only working one day a week.
One day a week.
Only one day.
Because she's got the long "because", and I'm saying that this opportunity has come
to her either to grow herself or to grow her children or her family.
It's for the benefit.
It may be that she needs to spend two days a week away from the children.
Maybe the children need to spend two days a week away from her.
I don't know.
But because of the rule, then it could all fall apart, because it's "my way."
"No, we have to have it my way!"
And another thing is that she'll hire people also to go out there and clean homes, whereas
she's the owner of the business and she has employees working for her.
She can even have other people cooking the meals, or you could be cooking the meals.
There's so many options of getting there.
But the biggest thing is she's got these rules around working one day a week.
It takes a community to raise a child.
I'm sure you've all heard that.
Not just one mom.
A community.
So this is the thing, is that you've got these ideas, and you've got these rules.
With the rules come the "but what if?"
What if I take on this other opportunity and I have to be away from my children for two
days a week instead of one day a week?
Or two days a week this week and one day a week next week, and then two and then one?
All kinds of ways of dealing with it.
But the "what ifs" come in.
What if my child picks up a bad word, like "moron."
(laughs) I love that word.
SPEAKER 2: I wish you hadn't said that out loud..
LYNNE: (laughs) Oops!
It is a bad word.
SPEAKER 2: One of our granddaughters she knew the "b" word.
To make a long story short, it ended up being "boron."
She gave the example like "Why don't you turn out the light, you boron?"
(laughter)
LYNNE: So that was a bad word.
SPEAKER 2: Yeah.
Now you know the "b" word.
(laughter)
LYNNE: So it's always "what if."
So ask yourself some "what ifs," because you've got this happening.
What am I afraid of?
What is the false evidence that's appearing to be real?
What is that?
What if this happens?
What if that happens?
And honor that.
"Well, if this happens, if my child comes home having learned a bad word, this is what
I'll do.
I'll talk to my child, I'll find out what the word is, in which context.
I'll try hard not to laugh when I hear it."
That sort of thing.
But it's the "what if."
It's the same -- look at it in your business.
