Yep, I said it and I got your attention… I feel so horny, so very horny and not just for the great powerful orgasm(s) I know I am going to have to have today but also, for the next phase of life… The thing I know now about my powerful sexual desire is that it is not just about the act of sex…
I see you all stilted, trying to be proper, trying to say the right thing, do the right thing, BE the ‘right’ thing… Let go, Let loose, Dance naked in the rain… You are so scared to be seen… So scared that you will not be liked… So scared that you will end up in hell… Wanting to know the exact right thing to do all the time… Let go, let loose, DANCE NAKED IN THE RAIN!
I used to think sex was bad… Something tacked onto every human being by some mysterious mistake and now we had to put up with it as a distraction from perfect holiness or something… Thankfully, I was mistaken. Unfortunately, a lot of people, even leaders like you, may still live beneath the fallacy of this crazy lie.
Have you seen a baby learn to walk? Have you heard that example time and time again? Have you learnt the lesson in it YET? Or are you still thinking that unless you can take one step to greatness everytime, then your ideas, your visions, your mission is not worth getting back up and trying again for? Everyone, and I do mean, EVERYONE, falls down at times but that means nothing!
There is a longing inside of my heart… It is painful at times… This desire to open up brains and hearts and help them see what they seem to be blind to… The power inside of them… THE POWER INSIDE OF YOU! The ability to create life the way you want it… The ability to get rich… The ability to be ALL YOU HAVE EVER DREAMED OF BEING! The ability to impact all the people you want to impact… The ability to make your dent on this planet! The wisdom within you to know what to do next… It is all there, inside of you… Freedom is yours by birth!
I talk a lot about doing ONLY things that you want to do… Of building a life based on your desires and wants… And some may take that to mean that you can just do things when you feel like it… And I suppose that it might make sense to the weak-minded that that is what I mean but Let me be clear to you, Leader, that is not what I mean…
A few steps forward and then you put on the brakes to look back and see if it is okay to keep moving forward… Another few steps forward and then you put on the brakes again… Imagine if you tried to get anywhere in a car by doing that… Is it any wonder that you get nowhere fast? Think about it!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Copy-of-Copy-of-building-a-business-12.png" width="500"> I did not realise just how much I did not like myself until I hit bankruptcy and a 4 year period of depression… I had hidden away from my self-dislike – It was not as strong as a self-loathing but it definitely was not self-love. I thought that putting everyone else first was the key to a happy life. But that is not true. And lots of people have been brought up to put everyone else’s needs before their own…
1. Decide That It Will Be So.
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-61.jpg" /> Yes, like many before you, you want something big… You want to win at life… You want to create a life and a business that makes you feel great! You want to wake up feeling awesome and full of purpose and the joy of living a life you are designed to live… And you want to make lots of money while you are at it.
YOu know what you want to do… YOu know what you want life to look like… You have the vision inside of you as to what it will be like when you finally do the work you feel called and commisioned to do… And yet, you keep looking to everyone else to tell you how to go about making it happen! You dampen down the internal calls within yourself to just let loose…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Forget-The-fucking-rules-2-1024x536.png" width="500"/> So, I started this differently but then realised I had a particular bug bear to address and so here goes – RNK is about to rant! Right now, there are people dying… In various countries round the world, people are in danger, they are hurting, it is horrid… And I hate it. Peace, freedom, abundance, to me, is everyone’s birthright but some people really are in dire straits at the moment and it is simply not working out for them…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Copy-of-building-a-business-156.png" width="500"/> Sometimes, I wonder if you really understand what it takes to win. The win is so worth it but will you allow yourself to get there? You have these big dreams, big ideas, big plans and you want it so bad, so very bad but right now, it feels tough, doesn’t it? It feels like you are pushing and shoving and trying to get there and nothing is happening.
Being a heart-centred entrepreneur that really has a big call to change lives, it can be pretty difficult to 'sell' what you have and so, unfortunately, this tends to mean that You get trapped taking the side road doing something you do not completely believe in because it pays the bills or... You remain broke in a business that you pretend is a social enterprise because it makes you feel good but makes absolutely NO MONEY so it cannot reach all the people you want to reach (Big shame!) or...
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/When-Will-My-Life-Begin--1024x536.png" width="500"/> It was only 8 or so years ago when I wondered this – When will my life begin? I was humming the tune to Tangled in my head and wondering when things would change, when I would have the dreams I longed for, when I would feel alive again, when I would love life again. I had been bankrupt a few years before and I had been depressed since then and I wondered if I had the courage to go after everything I wanted… Life was humdrum and I was dissatisfied.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-2.png" width="500"/> Today, I struggled to come up with something to say to you… And I know for most people, that would be a reason not to try… But I am committed… Committed to communicating with you… Committed to showing up with that timely word that will propel you forward… Committed to reminding you that you are more powerful than you realise…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Forget-The-fucking-rules-1024x536.png" width="500"/> Come on now, you have tried to do things that way, have you not? You have toned yourself down, tried to be obedient to every rule that the gods of business and the internet and social media propose… You have tried to be polite and nice and to kinda be under the radar while trying to tell people how your product/service/whatever can help, inspire, motivate, educate them in some way… YOU HAVE TRIED! And where the hell has it got you? NOWHERE!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/1-1024x536.png" width="500"/> Gosh! Life can feel tough at times… Incredibly tough! I could tell you all my sad stories about what this parent did or what that friend did and how it hurt me and yep, it did… It hurt me so bad, deep down inside of me… It made me clam up, build walls around me… It made me careful about who I trusted… It made me try too hard to be liked for the false person I portrayed to the world… It made me empty…
Your calling is yours. You get to define it, you get to clarify it, you get to decide when you are ready to step into it. And yet, you wait with baited breath for the approval of someone just like you! You want that exte al confirmation from some person you see as an authority on your life… You want that confirmation from them because you do not feel clear. And you think you SHOULD feel clear.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Forget-The-fucking-rules-1-1024x536.png" width="500"/> I have always felt a little out of place… Born in the wrong place, to the wrong family, or so it felt, because I never felt like I fit into anything… Never felt black and African enough… Obviously not white enough… I found what felt like my place within various churches… As long as I dampened down parts of who I was… I did that for a long while because I wanted to feel like I belonged… I wanted to be loved…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-9.png" width="500"/> I have spent many a night lying in bed, petrified… Fear appearing like a real person… Holding me dow Scaring the living daylights out of me as I allowed my mind to be fed with all kinds of thoughts of destitution and poverty and ‘being laughed at’ and ‘being unworthy and unable’ And in those moments, it would all seem so real… Fear was good but I got better… I learnt that you cannot stay still under such an attack…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-10.png" width="500"/> Sometimes, it feels like you are a child in a toy shop surrounded by toys but you are not allowed to touch them! You can smell the new toy smell and you are so close to them but yet, it is like there is a film between you and the toys and you are not allowed to play or so someone said sometime ages ago and now you are too scared to try to push through the film…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Copy-of-building-a-business-73.png" width="500" /> Most people do not want to link being spiritual with hustling… The two states seem so disconnected… The silly spiritual peeps want them to be disconnected because they really do want there to be a spiritual magic bullet that means they can sit on their asses, begging, pleading, praying and claiming but never actually doing anything active to get it! And I say – HOW CRAZY! Faith is active… NOT PASSIVE… Trust is active… NOT PASSIVE! Belief is active…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/There-are-no-hoops-to-jump-through-1024x536.png" width="500"/> The biggest obstacle you face in getting the life you want, is the one in your head… The one that says you have to follow the rules put in place by some other human being just like you… The one that says that you need some person’s permission to be all you want to be… The one that says that your higher power wants you to jump through certain hoops before you get what you want… And this obstacle is just not real.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-10.png" width="500"/> Asked by a new DM Club member… Here is my answer Not the easiest at all… No doubt about that… And yet, you have a new focus now… No longer are you just going to work, you are also building your dream and your job is funding it… It is temporary… Not the permanent ‘soul-sucking’ thing it used to be… Or at least, that is how you can now see it! When I started in business, I had to work too… We did not have that much money at all.
<img src ="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/talker-or-doer-.png" width="500"> It is easy, oh so easy to talk and talk and dream and plan but never actually do ANYTHING to make the vision a reality… It is so easy to pray, to affirm, to think, to journal yourself into ecstacy and still never DO anything to make the vision real… You actually have to move, you know… You actually have to learn and implement new skills… You actually have to DO THE WORK! It is the work that works… Not the talking, thinking, feeling, emoting…
So, knowing that on average, only TEN people are going to cry at your funeral… ONLY TEN PEOPLE! And guess what, half or more of those people may not show up if it is raining… So… KNOWING THAT!!! Who the heck are you allowing to influence what you do right now? Do they even care? REALLY?!
A few days ago, some lovable soul left my mailing list and community (sob) with a terse note about me being disruptive. And I got to thinking about the word. I liked being called disruptive. Why on earth would I want to not make any waves at all? I am called to be disruptive! To break through the status quo…
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-57.jpg" /> It is a new year! And as usual, I find myself determined to create more, to be even more wealthy and to have even more of the things I desire. I am obsessed with living to my full potential and that includes making as much money as possible, firstly for my own comfort and that of my immediate family and then if it pleases me, I will support others. And you may read that statement and think how worldly (greedy) I am!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-5.png" width="500"/> You overcame… You handled it! You are still standing! And now, you have a story to tell… You have an experience that can change another’s life… But you feel the drag of the story… It wants to pull you back into it And you may not even be aware that you are reacting… Ever conscious that you never want to go back there and so, you act as though it is still happening and you are still overcoming and you try to stay safe!
There is a time to be a consumer and a time to be a producer and at the moment, it seems you are veering too much on the side of consumer. And it is not doing you any good because you look and you look AND YOU LOOK at what everyone else is doing… You see their highlights…
You may or may not realise this but you have been conditioned to think poor… To think lack… To think that it is bad to be rich… And so, of course, it is a struggle to create abundant wealth. You ask me about how to grow your business… You ask me about how to get more clients, more customers, more recruits…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Nosecretsauce.png" width="500"> It is not that some have it and others don’t… It is not that some were born with it and others weren’t… It is definitely not the case that others have more time than you… Honey, there is simply no secret sauce… To success, I mean! To making the money you want, I mean… To living the dream life where you wake up when you want, do what you want with people you want… NO SECRET SAUCE! Money making is a skill…
The difference between you and every single person out there, is that you have vision. Vision about what you want to create in your life and business/ministry… Vision about the money you will make from your books, music…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-1.png" width="500"/> You don’t get it yet and so you sit on the fence… Liking, commenting, mostly lurking and sometimes sharing what I do… And you try to ignore that little voice in your chest that is telling you to reach out and work with me… You tell yourself that you don’t need it… You tell yourself that you cannot afford it… You tell yourself all kinds of nonsense to avoid having to do what you know you need to do…
Some days, you will go for that promotion, think you are going to get it and… defeat will be snatched from the mouth of victory… Some days, you will lose a loved one and it will break your heart… Some days, you will put your heart and soul into selling your next program, and no one will buy it…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/rosemary-nonny-knight-when-confused.png" width="500"/> I wanted to build a business online for a very long time… I dabbled and tried all those get rich quick scheme things where you click this button, follow that other step by step thing and money would somehow automatically get thrown at you… YEAH RIGHT! A lot of my university days were spend pretending in this manner… And then I grew up more, realised that money only comes from service…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Creator-Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-1024x536.png" width="500"/> There you are, sitting on the ledge… You are there on the line between greatness and just being one of the masses who dream a big dream but get absolutely nowhere… You have within you the ability to change lives, starting with your own… But the fear of making a mistake holds you back… You want certainty, you want someone to tell you that this one product/service/art/music/whatever of yours will definitely work… And so you wait. On the ledge…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/wake-up-rosemary-nonny-knight-1024x536.png" width="500"/> It will never be enough to simply say ‘yes’ to every amazing and inspirational post you read on social media… It will never be enough to say ‘amen’ and then to retreat back into your regular life where you do not do anything scary or stretch yourself… It will never be enough to sit around or even kneel down praying your heart out and waiting for some miracle to come find you…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20170327_084342-1024x576.jpg" width="500"/> Sometimes, peeps get way too spiritual and not in a good way… They try so hard to ‘be’ because hey, we are human ‘beings’, right? not human ‘doings’ or so the silly saying goes! Honey, seriously, there is no being without doing! In order to ‘be’ anything, you have got to DO something!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-9.png" width="500"/> Honey, you are a creator You know it! You remember when you were a young child and you write your thoughts down and maybe even wrote poetry and made your parents listen into it… Or maybe there was no one to listen but you still wrote… You dreamt and dreamt of things that you could do, be and people even told you time and time again to come back down to earth and focus on the boring tasks at hand…
Yesterday, I was tired… A little bit fed up… And a whole lot “Wondering why on earth I keep doing this”? Yep, I get like that too… I certainly am not perfect but I am committed… Committed enough that I still do the things on a daily basis that I have made a habit of…
If you choose it, you can have it… If you choose money, fame, love, you can have it… Nothing, no one keeps anything away from you… This is the simple truth. Will you accept it? Will you see that NO ONE takes anything from you?
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-3.png" width="500"/> There you sit, waiting, waiting, WAITING for some kind of certainty… WAiting to know exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it and when EXACTLY it will work in the way that you want it too and you will not move until you KNOW, DAMMIT!!!
You worry that you worry too much about money… You worry that your worry and your desire for more money will stop you making money… And so then you try hard to stop worrying about money and stop wanting to have more money…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-Discipline.png" width="500"/> Your mind is a crazy place at the moment, isn't it? Full of wonderings and wishings and uncertainties and ups and downs and you feel out of control in your mind at the moment. And yet, it is all within your control. Your brain can only take you where you let it take you. It is on you, honey! You are born to impact many... To serve them with your business, with yuor message, with YOU!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-4.png" width="500"/> Every day, you have one less day to realise the vision in your heart Are you doing everything you can to live it out? Every day, you feel less sure that you can change the trajectory of your life… Every day, you get more and more stuck in your ways… Every day, you give up a little more… Turn that around, honey! TURN THAT AROUND!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-6.png" width="500"/> Why do you do this? You hold on tightly to a life you do not want. You see opportunity for change but you just keep hanging on to your ‘half-life’ Trying to protect yourself from failure But you are already living that! Yes, honey, you already failed! There you are trying to protect yourself from… what?! The life you are already living?!!!! How very silly of you!
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-75.jpg" /> I get it… Things have happened… PEOPLE have happened and they have caused you to doubt yourself but honey… They are not the creator of your life… YOU ARE! Events do not get to define you… YOU DO! And whatever it is that you have been through gives you the exact strength that you need to propel yourself forward if you will do the work of getting your head in the right place and your actions to follow suit.
So, honey, tell me… What do you want the money for? Because that reason is the thing that will empower or disempower you to receive it.
