Change is not easy especially when it is forced upon you in a short period of time.
We are in the midst of a paradigm shift, business as we know it will no longer be the same, it will be BETTER.
The first step in any crisis is acceptance, you must accept that life/business is changing. Don’t resist the change, go with it! Once you accept that things will be different then you can begin to embrace this time to retool your practice, reassess your goals and value and begin an amazing transformation to the life you want.

She now spends 80% of her time in her unique brilliance, speaking with clients, supporting her clients and meeting new referrals.
We sent out the invites to our Virtual Daly Market Update at 8 AM today and had 6 people on the call by 10:00 am. I think this is a win. Everyone was so grateful to be in touch and to form a new community. All I wanted to have happened was to make my clients feel more secure about their situation and this goal was attainted. Most sent me a thank you after! -Emily Daly
