Good morning! How is everyone doing today? So I am Val Nichols and I am a clarity and a mindset coach, and I'm here to tell you that clarity in your business, in your life, and in your passion is possible. If you are anything like me, I can get so caught up in This like this clutter, and the other day I was my husband was looking on my phone trying to look up a campground. He was trying to look at the maps, and he's like, "Why do you have 42 tabs open on your phone?" And I was like, because I'm researching something and I need the information on it. And I was he's like, okay. And I said, "No, you don't understand. I'm researching this new program I'm gonna launch on clarity." And he kind of laughed, and I had to also stop and just like giggle at myself because I'm thinking, okay, here I am doing research on clarity, and I have so much clutter and overwhelm on my phone that I don't even know where to start. So I had to laugh at myself. I learned a great lesson, and I really learned that the only thing I can really teach you on clarity is through my own experience with it. So if you're like a lot of the women that I coach, they come to me and they are so overwhelmed, they are so directionless, they feel lost, they feel total and complete overwhelm in their lives. And when we really get down to it, what they're lacking is clarity and vision in their lives, in their jobs, and in their passion. There is so much information out there today. There are so many Facebook groups, there are so many social media types of accounts, there are so many TV shows and information and experts and products out there that you could really just get overwhelmed with so many different things. In this day and age, it is so easy to allow all of the different things that are pulling at our attention to just distract us and overwhelm us. And I've discovered that in my life, whenever I'm feeling emotionally or spiritually overwhelmed, clutter starts to just kind of accumulate around me. I'm usually a pretty neat person. I like things organized and neat, but I noticed that when I start feeling overwhelmed, I let my car get cluttered to the point where I just, I don't even want to look at it anymore. I just want to like drive another car so I don't have to put up with it. I hope that makes sense to somebody. So it is possible to get clarity in your life, your business, and in your passion. So many women that I work with, like I said, are just overwhelmed. They're coming to me, maybe they're multi-passionate, which is wonderful. I am a true believer that it is beneficial and wonderful to have multiple passions in life. You know, maybe you have a 9-to-5 job that you go to, and then you also have a side business like multi-level marketing, or maybe maybe you do childcare, or maybe you do virtual assisting, and that is great, but it is so easy to get pulled in so many directions that we are no longer clear on the vision and the purpose of our lives. And I am a true believer— in the Bible it says, without vision the people will perish— and I am a true believer that if we don't keep the vision before us, what's going to happen is we're going to start investing and paying attention and spending time on all of these little things around us that just distract us and take our energy, that we lose track of what's really the goal. I don't know if you've ever done this, but I had one woman who I started working with recently, and we had had a conversation about 6 months ago, and she wasn't quite ready to commit to one-on-one coaching with me, and I didn't really have a product Or a program for her that she felt called to do. So what happened is she thought she was she would be okay, and she would just start out you know with this new information she was given. She said, "Okay, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do this on my own. I'm gonna start out, and I'm gonna I'm gonna really just invest my time in this." So what happened was she reached out to me again recently, and six months had gone by, and she said, "You know, Val, the ex I am in the exact same place that I was six months ago." I'm still having the same struggles, the same frustrations, and the same blocks. The only problem is now I'm even more discouraged in myself because I can't do it on my own. And what I discovered through working with her the past couple weeks is there's nothing wrong with her. She's not flawed. She— it's not that she's not capable of doing it on her own. She lacked the clarity And the vision that she needed to get the end results that she really wanted. And as a result, she's gotten— gained clarity in her life, a self-confidence that she didn't have before. There's this sparkle in her eye, and she has a clear plan of what to do next to keep that clarity. So often we can get distracted by all these little things like your, your phone, things pop up. Or you'll get an email and the next thing you know you're online shopping for half an hour and you're going, oh my gosh, I was supposed to get this thing done. Or you're responding to emails and you're, you're picking up the phone and, you know, you get scrolling on social media and next thing you know an hour goes by and you're no closer to your goal than you were before. So what needs to happen is you need to get so clear on your purpose And your vision and your why, that no matter what distractions might pop up, because they will, no matter what commitments you're asked to do that are going to distract you from your purpose, you will learn how to say no. Make your no a no and your yes a yes. And so often we say no to the things that are going to distract us so that we can say yes To the vision and the purpose in our lives. And what that all comes down to is having total and complete commitment through clarity and conviction and knowing so clearly what our why is that we stay the course. And if you're anything like a lot of the women that I work with, you may feel overwhelmed You may feel like a project or a dream that you have a vision for feels so overwhelming right now in this moment that there's so much to do around achieving your goal that you don't even know where to start. Maybe you have the plan to clear out your garage, and every single time you schedule a weekend to do it, you take a look at all the boxes and all the clutter and the bikes and the, the toys and everything that you just You lose hope. You get so overwhelmed that you just give up. Maybe it's your dream and a vision. Maybe you are so wanting to start that multi— that multi-level marketing business. Maybe you want to get on board with Plexus or Isagenix or whatever it is that Thrive, whatever it is that you're looking into, but you're so overwhelmed and you feel such a lack of clarity and a lack of why. That you just give up on it before you even start because you're so afraid that if you put your whole heart into this and you fail, that you're going to disappoint yourself. And it is safer and easier for you to just give up or not even start than it would be to face the possibility that you might Disappoint yourself. If that resonates with you, I would love to hear your story. Give me a heart below. Give me a yes, Val, if it's resonating with you. If you're watching this live, please post in now, or you— if you're watching it on replay, you can put hashtag replay and respond along because I will go back and read all these. I would love to hear your thoughts and your experiences and what you're going through right now, where you're lacking clarity. I did post that earlier on my High Vibe Tribe, on my business page, and also my personal page. You know, I'm really wanting to hear where people are lacking clarity in their lives because I am working on a program right now that is going to be an intensive clarity boot camp. And this is for the woman who has a great life, who is successful, Or maybe has a dream of being successful, but you're just feeling so overwhelmed with everything in life right now that you're giving up, that you are too afraid to disappoint yourself or others, that you're not even starting. I'm here to tell you that I know exactly how you feel. Six months ago, I had a dream of leaving my corporate job, of leaving this corporate world. I would stare out the window and just dream of the. Day that I could just let go and walk out of that job because I was so successful. I was, you know, bringing in income for like $47,000 a month for this company. And yeah, I was making great commissions and a great salary, but that was like a percentage of what I was making in this corporate job. And I wanted so badly to walk away from this job, but I, I was terrified. I was so afraid. And as of 5 o'clock this last Friday, I left. I walked away because I did the hard work that it took to get so clear on my vision and my purpose that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is what— this right here, this is what God is calling me for, to allow a space where other women can gain the same clarity and the same conviction and the same clarity for their purpose as I've gained in my life. So if you're interested in this program, I'm going to be launching it later in August. If you are interested, just give me a heart, give me a— let me know, message me, inbox me up above. I'm also going to be posting this live in my High Vibe Tribe, which is a group of amazing and incredible women who are looking to uplevel their life in every single way to gain clarity On their purpose and their vision and their goals. It is a great space of great women where we just lift each other up and support each other. So if you want to join that, um, I'll post below the link to join the High Vibe Tribe if you're a woman. Sorry guys, this is for the ladies because there really is a magic that happens when women get together and we live for a divine purpose in our lives.

Where you're gaining clarity, where you're lacking clarity, how I can support you in gaining clarity in your vision, because I would love to partner with you and walk beside you in the clarity and the vision to your dream life.
