LISTEN TO YOUR WHISPERS BY ROSLYN ROZBRUCH (FOOD FOR THOUGHT)
Have you ever had an idea, almost like it popped in your head, and as you start to execute it, one thing leads to another? I call those “whispers.” This happens to me all the time. I’ll get an idea in my mind of something I want to do, and as I start to work on it, there’s an invisible thread guiding me to take the next action. And this exact scenario recently happened to me. This past July, Michael and I put on a“5-Day to 5K Tax Resolution Challenge.”But to give credit where it’s due, while I came up with the idea, Michael did most of the work.
Then around March, Joe said he was doing a Zoommeeting with someone named Pedro Adao who had a challenge model, and I told Michael, “We’ve got to watch this because I want us to put on a challenge!”Michael and I went to the Zoommeeting, and right after the meeting, there was an offer to purchase Pedro’s course — so I bought it! I told Michael to go through the course with me! Did he want to do this? Not really. But after I went through it, I said, “You’ve got to do it too,” and he did. Well, after going through the course, it just so happened we had an in-person meeting with one of our mentors, Roland Frasier, in May, and when I shared my challenge idea —guess what he said to us? “I just did a challenge with Pedro, and let me introduce you to him.”

A whisper wants you to take notice. And when you listen to it and take action on it, it’s amazing the possibilities that will unfold right before you ...
How did this whisper come to me? Here’s the backstory.
It was late February, before any COVID-19 shutdowns, and Michael and I were attending an in-person (remember those?) Genius meeting, one of the mastermind groups
we belong to, when I heard Joe Polish, who runs the group, ask who in the roomwas interested in joining a five-day transform your life challenge. He was experimenting with doing challenges and wanted to start with the people in the room. Right away, I was in. Joe shared that there would be assignments to complete daily that would be easy and also hard—but doable. I thought, “Okay, I can do ‘doable.’”He didn’t announce prizes but said he’d figure it out. Every day there was a video to watch and an action to take. I showed up every day and wondered what the prize would be. Then COVID-19 and the pandemic hit and most of the country shut down for two months and no prize was awarded. But the real prize I received was with each new action I took from doing the assignments, I felt more empowered and confident. Every day, I implemented something new that transformed my life. And I’m still doing many of the actions, like meditating, every day. After going through that challenge, I told Michael, “You’ve got to do a challenge for people who want to add tax resolution services to their practices!”Did he say, “What a great idea, let’s do it”? No, he did not.
The rest is history. We met up with Pedro, and he showed us how to do the challenge, and even though it was scary and nerve-wracking and we had no idea what we were doing, it turned out better than we imagined. The point of the story is it all started with a “whisper.”The whisper that’s the small voice in your head that wants you to do something that will be good for you. A whisper wants you to take notice. And when you listen to it and take action on it, it’s amazing the possibilities that will unfold right before you, and how one action will lead to another. Here’s my question to you: Is there something in your mind that’s whispering to you that you are shooing away or shutting down? Maybe take notice —who knows what wonderful thing will be revealed to you!
