The Power of Community

When someone says you need a Fierce Support System, I see an incredible flood of raw power. A swarm of bold leaders stepping up to give orders and execute tasks, without breaking a sweat. They hold themselves and others accountable for reaching their goals.


While all these are needed, the fearless warriors, we also need those that might miss goals left and right but always moving forward. We need those that live to help others accomplish goals. So, creating an empire full of audacious women ready to break free from the shackles of complacency feels right up my alley.

There is power in a community.

Why do I think there is such power in a group of people working in an odd mixture of individualism and community?


Growth is important. If you don’t have a community, how do you grow, learn new concepts, or reach a fulfilling life? You stay still in that spot forever. To me, the lifelong student wannabe, that sounds horrible.

I know some people think book reports are the devil’s doing…I’ll take them all day!



That’s why I’m expanding my own “Cool Kids Club.” (Get a personal invite from me by clicking here.)


If we had a few hours to discuss how my chosen family AKA Fierce Support Squad, you would have to brace yourself for the rollercoaster ride through an exhilarating realm of the edgy and unapologetic group. 


I’ll do my best to summarize this journey as I invite you to the “Cool Kids Club.” We are not for everyone!


Unleash the Fierce Divine Within

Being able to view the social norms in this era in a way to rid our unsatisfied mediocre happiness is vital to our mental health. It’s quite an adventure when you refuse to settle for achieving others' dreams. Variety sets us apart and we thrive as we work on goals. 


Like energy ignites the fire within, allowing our audacity to show as we step outside our comfort zones. If you are like me, that “outside” area is in technology. When in a room with other women and business owners…I ask questions. Half the time I don’t even know how to understand or apply what they are telling me but the other half of the time, it's all about learning what I need to learn. Sometimes that is the actual thing, sometimes it’s more woo-woo!



I celebrate the women who don't conform to society's standards and those who dare to be unapologetically themselves. People always willing to try something new are my kind of people. Rock your leather jackets, embrace your inner rebels, and wield some old-fashioned ambition like a katana (I’m a sucker for a good sword!), then I might follow you anywhere!


Don't Do Excuses

In our world, there are lots of gray areas but at the end of the day, you either did or did not do the thing you said you were going to do. Reasons and excuses are different. 


Did you do it?

Yes or no?

If the answer is no, then why you didn’t do it can either be a reason or an excuse.



Did you order the microphone as you agreed to? No.

Why not?

Reason: The store said they were out of stock until Tuesday.

Excuse: I wasn’t sure if it was the right kind for the task so I need to do research.



Let me tell you, it is SO easy to have an excuse for something that requires, heaven forbid, ACTION! We confront our to-do list and want to obliterate it. But if we planned in zeal energy rather than real energy, it’s not happening.

We only have so much time and energy in a day so it’s impossible for even the best of us to get 24 hours worth of work done in a day.

Trust me. I tried that for years!

The purpose of a Fierce Support Squad is not to provide a sanctuary for those wallowing in pity.

It is not to hear that there is nothing they can do.

It is to provide a sacred space for those prepared to shift their mindset, smash through self-imposed barriers, and achieve things that make them feel great. 


To win this game of life, you gotta know when to be the Rule Breaker, Risk Taker, Action Maker, and the Gangster of Love.

They are all important.



Together, we cultivate a culture of accountability that sets our souls on fire. I want you to refuse to settle for less than your potential. Potential grows and the ability to achieve all kinds of things is available to you. I’m not talking about any get-rich-quick scheme or pumping toxic positivity in your ears. 



No matter how big or small your career aspirations or personal growth, I will help you stoke the fires of your enthusiasm and keep you moving forward. 

Embrace the Truth, Especially When Uncomfortable


The truth can be a fearsome thing, but if we face it headfirst, we become better people.

  • We acknowledge our flaws and weaknesses with no sugar-coated words and no self-deprecation. 

    • I’m no good at tech stuff. I need to pay someone that is.

    • Cleaning floors is not something I do great (or want to). I will find someone that is to help me.

  • We welcome uncomfortable conversations.

  • Revealing the honest, unfiltered reality of our lives allows growth and acceptance.

  • This honesty creates a foundation for growth and resilience with a tenacious spirit.

  • Challenge one another to rise above excuses, see things in a different way, push boundaries, and achieve.


So, what I want to say is that together, we are an unstoppable force. Let us rise above perceived limitations and embrace our collective power, knowledge, and talents. Let’s leave a lasting impact on the world and inspire others to step into their own power.


Today, may you roar with the ferocity of a thousand lions.

I look forward to hearing about your lasting impact on the world.

Peace and love,

Teresea
