Hey! I just want to drop a quick note saying that FEAR SUCKS! I am in a significant growth stage–physically, entrepreneurially, and personally. Every time I hit a wall or a plateau it is because of fear.

 Physically. I took pictures which were featured in the September Body Review Video which evidently stressed me out and (aside from having a head cold) kept me out of the gym most of the week ( I did some cardio on Saturday and will be lifting tonight…back on schedule)…I saw progress! I saw muscle definition (Did you see my quads?!). I saw the beginings of my bodybuilder body! Oooo I’m scared! Run Away!

I’m getting what I want! Run away!

I have mentioned from time to time this invention of mine. Well I ordered my first batch from the manufacturer on Friday and sent them the money for it. They had been talking minimums and such which were styming me. I finally just said, "Look, I have $X to spend…including shipping…what can you do with that?" They figured out what to do with it and my first product will be coming in the middle of October!

Now I have been talking to them since December of last year, but I FINALLY got around to asking for what I wanted, based on what I could do and the project is moving! Of course I’ll let you guys know when it is out. I KNOW you’re going to LOVE it! So cute and useful. Helpful for fitness and life! Yay! And the universe was totally supporting me in this I found out. Because I had save a certain amount of money for the order but said to them I had that amount plus $500 for the order. I didn’t know where I was going to get that money…I figured I would just skimp out of a paycheck to get it.

When I went to bed the night before the money from my savings was going to hit my regular checking account I asked the universe to help me out. Where will that money come from? I wonder? I need help. I woke up at 2 am and thought about a refund I was owed from our former garbage company that I had requested months ago. I was annoyed because I hadn’t recieved it and though "I’m going to call them in the morning to see where my money is!"

It then occured to me that there was an envelope from that company on the kitchen counter that had been there for days . I hadn’t opened it. I figured it was an advertisement or something. I jumped out of bed and ran down to the kitchen and ripped the envelope open. $587.61 (mfing) cents! WHAT!? Thank you universe! Ask and you WILL recieve! WHAT?!

Personally is the hardest things for me. I’m working on having confidence in me as a brand. Alissa as a brand? WTF? I think I have something to share and offer to people something concrete and good about weight loss. I see it every week when I’m working with my weight loss coaching clients. They are getting substance from what I share.

It starts with me and I am valuable now…not when I’m "finished". People stop me in the street, email me, and tell me to my face how my weight loss has inspired them. People tell me all the time about what they eat, what exercise they did or ask me about diet or exercise. This is serious business and I have to take my value seriously!

WHEW!
