done waiting and the universe opened up. The money was there for airfare and I trust the money will be there for the rest of the travel expenses. I’m loving the way this works. The same thing applied to my businesses. I had a rock, gem and bead store and when the economy crashed I closed it. I had tons of inventory that I was going to find a way to sell ‘some- day.’ I posted things on Ebay and even Craigslist. Then one day, I realized I was doing that ‘some- day’ thing again. Dealing with that inventory had become a burden that was holding me back from what I really wanted to do. This time I gave the beads away to a program for Native Ameri- can kids and I put the rocks in my yard. The rest of my inven- tory was worth about $20,000 retail and I sold it for $1,000 to a young couple starting a new business. They were thrilled and I was so happy to have that ‘someday’ burden gone. Two weeks later I inherited a belly dance costume business, which is way more fun than rocks. So, by letting go of the ‘someday stuff’ I made room for something even better. I’ve been working on an on-line business and ‘someday’ I was going to figure out how to mar- ket myself, and then I was done waiting. I joined Amethyst Ma- honey’s inner circle and again, the portals started opening. I’m still in the beginning phases, but I’m no longer waiting for ‘some- day,’ I’m taking action! thing, whether it’s physical in- ventory, a class you are planning or an office you are want to rent, decide if it’s taking up space that could be filled with something better or if it is still important. If it no longer serves you, let it go. Is there something you’ve been wanting to do ‘someday?’ Online webinars? Facebook membership group? One on one coaching? Don’t wait for ‘someday’ because ‘someday’ is already here if you choose it to be!  I’d like to challenge you to look at your own business. Do you have plans to do this ‘someday’ or that ‘someday?’ For each thing, take a moment and decide if it’s weighing you down with the burden of ‘someday’ or if it’s something that is really import- ant to your business.
