Dawn Todd, CEO of Wildly Succesful and her husband have 7 daughters. Here’s her story.
This is a true story.
2004 was the worst year of my life.
I had just gotten married to my “Mr Wonderful.”
I felt great! Business was rockin’ and I was in love. In fact, my new husband hated his job, and so I made room in my company for him. He came to work for me and life was sweet.
Even though I worked crazy hours, I saw my children all the time. Over the years one or more of my five children worked for me around their school schedules. I loved having the kids drop by after school to say hi and tell me how their day had been.
The best of both worlds; working mom, still connected to the kids and having my spouse at work, too.
Doesn’t get any better than that.
After my kids Dad died I had worked my tail off to support myself and my kids – it was just us. I had developed a great income stream that was 100% referral based, and business had taken off.
I had learned to become what I call “intentionally attractive’. No kidding, business would literally just fall in my lap if I thought about it long enough.
I learned this technique from a friend of mine whose business was also booming. He told me that the human mind was like a pie and we all had a limited number of pieces of the pie, and that our mind could only focus on a few things at once. When our attention was on business development, business just showed up. When our attention became diverted into non-essential things, business would slow down. (ask me later what my friend’s KISS is)
It sure seemed to work for my friend – he had a great house, a beautiful car, a great wife and he was HAPPY! And he was making tons of money, as evidenced by the yacht he bought and kept on Lake Powell.
Just like he told me, when I started really focusing on business development, business exploded. I felt like I had discovered the magic formula for success: you just literally thought about it, and there it was.
Little did I know it was coming to a screeching halt. In July of 2004 changes in our state law made it impossible for me to continue with t he same revenue model I had carefully developed and intentionally grown.
I heard about the possibility of this law change, but I didn’t believe it would happen. In fact, I was so sure that the rumors where just that – rumors – that I had just bought a big house for us, to celebrate my new relationship and well, just life in general.
From the time this law passed until the next spring, my gross revenues plummeted like a stone – they dropped 80% in 9 months and I lost everything. My house, my business and my identity. I sank into a deep depression, and I felt worthless. I kept going over and over in my mind – if business development really was a matter of focusing our thoughts, then what had I been thinking?
How could I have let this happen? How could I have been so stupid as to believe that the rumors about a change in law were just gossip? Worst of all, I had to lay off my new husband and close our doors, and he had to look for a job.
What a wake-up call.
I remember the night it all came to a head.
The utilities were going to be shut off and I was panicked. So far, no amount of positive thinking had changed anything. There was no one to turn to and I was broke.
I was at the edge of a giant cliff of despair and self-loathing, and I knew that something had to change.
I put the gun down and I decided right then and there, that if I did nothing else in this life, I would take the lessons I was learning and pass them on to others.
I had already seen and experienced how easy business development could be. But I didn’t have a way to quantify what I had experienced. It seemed to me that if it was true that intentional focus was the key to business development, then one should be able to use intentionality as a predictable business tool – one that could be measured, quantified, and tracked on an excel spreadsheet.
I became obsessed with understanding how business intersects with intention and how I could rebuild my business. I developed a set of principles called the Inside Edge™ , and applied them to my business.
Within 12 months I had replaced my income, and proven to myself that intention could intersect with business. It was then that I found my passion – helping other business owners understand and apply these concepts.
I began applying them to my coaching and consulting business with amazing results. These are the exact techniques that I have used to build my busines. This is where The Inside Edge really shines – knowing that no matter what the circumstances, it is your consciousness that is driving the business. No more running and hiding. No more wondering what’s working and what’s not.
Trackable. Quantitative. Results.
Those of you reading this will fall into three categories:
Believers – seen it, done it, almost a master of it. Want to quantify it even more, and you’re playing the game for the fun of the experiment.
Virgins - New to the concept but willing to have an open mind – it can’t hurt and might even help. Willing to think outside the box if it works.
Skeptics – something about this sounds too good to be true, and in fact it sounds weird. If this information came to you on a piece of paper, you’d roll it into a ball and throw it away – go ahead and hit the delete button now. But save my information and when your pain increases a bit more, call me.
I have literally helped hundreds of people and business find their Inside Edge and use it for amazing results – and I can help you.
If you could change just one thing, what would that be? The answer to that question is the first place we start.
You know, it’s not just about focusing your attention on your business. You’ve got to have the right tools for the job, and you’ve got to put your attention and your intention in the right place. It’s about focusing on the things that matter – the metrics that actually have meaning in terms of the health of your business. Give it some thought. This is personal with me and I truly want to help you.
It’s why I created Wildly Successful and it’s what drives me to do what I do every day.
