After spending years as a performer in L.A. and Las Vegas, Melissa traded one hustle for another and got into real estate where she sold over $100 million\u2014and realized she was totally miserable. In this episode, you will hear: Why following other people\u2019s rules for success doesn\u2019t ever lead to true happiness The story of her breakdown and how it ultimately led to her breakthrough Why traditional perceptions of success can hinder creatives and artists How she used NLP to get her life back in alignment with her goals and her true authenticity What happens when our unconscious mind and our conscious mind are out of alignment (and the roles they each play in achieving our goals) A mini-coaching sesh where she helps yours truly uncover the obstacles in front of goal I\u2019ve had trouble reaching Coaching Questions & Thoughts:   The questions below are what Melissa Machat asked me during the mini-coaching portion of this episode. Think about a specific goal you\u2019re unable to reach and use these prompts to uncover why. What is causing you to feel this way? What outcome are you avoiding? What do you actually want? What\u2019s the first step to make it happen? Quotes: \u201cI wasn't in alignment with me. I was following other people's rules, not my own.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cSo much of our self worth, at least in our Western culture, is connected to what we achieve or the dollar amount we make, and therefore, if we aren't achieving, we are worth nothing and feeling like trash. Which is a total mindfuck for the artist.\u201d - Shereen Thor \u201cThat's my kind of gripe with a lot of personal development things. They almost leave you needing more. So you come back and pay for more things.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cThere are a lot of people who are internally suffering and struggling and it's not necessary. They don't have to be in that dark place.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cWhen something would happen, I would process it with a distorted filter, which then created my reality.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cIf you say you're going to do something and you don't do it. Something is out of alignment.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cFigure out what actually works for you and what you actually want.\u201d - Melissa Machat \u201cWhen you're in alignment, you actually don't need accountability.\u201d - Melissa Machat Resources:  Melissa Machat\u2019s Instagram Text \u2018VIP\u2019 to 8334800397 to be notified of Melissa\u2019s upcoming programs, courses, and webinars in 2021.
