Not too long ago, I attended Harv Eker’s Enlightened Warrior Training Camp with my husband. (I won’t share the specifics of what we did because if you choose to attend I want to make sure you get as a pure experience like I did without too much knowledge of what’s to come). So while I won’t tell you HOW I learned what I learned, I will share some of WHAT I learned.

My best definition of a warrior is one who conquers oneself. We all have fear about stepping out into new places and doing new things, but the warrior acts in spite of the fear, and develops courage.

My three key learning areas were the following:

* Fear is not a bad thing, it only hurts you when you let it get in your way. We’re all scared of things that may come in the future, and things that are unknown to us. Realistically, fear is just the anticipation of pain in the future. Those that are successful or influence others probably have fear. The key is they have learned to act in spite of their fear. I had many opportunities to do this at camp. (sorry, I can’t share more specifics)

* Sometimes the best thing you can do to get it done is to get out or your own way. I know for myself, I’m working a project right now that includes four other people. For this project to move smoothly, I have to move out of the way, give them space to do their brilliance and then step back in gracefully when it’s my turn. Taking action often has a really masculine energy to it, but when you add in the fine art of grace it feels less like– P-U-S-H-I-N-G.

* For me it’s so important to surround myself with people on the same path. All my fellow warriors showed up wanting great personal development and growth. Not once during 5 days did I share what I do professionally with anyone nor did I ask others. While I love what I do, it was incredibly refreshing to get to know others, and them me, without my professional hat on. While I don’t know what many of the people do, I have a really great sense of who they are as people, and what’s more important than that?.

When I apply these “warrior” lessons I have so much more fun, attract goodness into my life and I get a lot more done. I’m really excited about implementing my learning in my upcoming GET IT DONE Circle and GET IT DONE 101 Class. More to come!
