The 3 Most Important Questions

Now I just gonna have to take my 3MIQ’s and start shifting my company towards something else

Quick summary

Monica set out to build motivation for her web design business serving construction companies, but discovered a deeper calling. After overcoming severe health challenges and trauma, she realized her true purpose was helping others transform their lives, not just building websites.

I set out on this quest to define my goals and my WHY towards keep building my company.

My company is all about making websites and filling them with content that I make: film, text and photo. To make it easier for myself I gave niched my company down to doing so for only the construction companies. This is something that I landed on due to coaching lessons with a great coach nearby. It was my values and earlier experience of happy feelings I had connected to this niche that made me go for it.

I took this quest to build my motivation for why I need to manage time management, so that my business will become successful.

But instead my point of focus shifted; I still want to photograph and film, write and fly with my drone; but I want to do so and HELP people at the same time. Especially people that have suffered from illness and mental issuea like I have.

I grew up in a brainwashing sect, I had a step-granddad that was a pedophile, I got the diagnoses ADHD, PTSD, Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, I got LGS, and I am an HSP (highly sensitive person). My life had been a struggle!! I was an anxious and powerless woman, bedridden and all gone in a constant brain fog.

But I read a lot. I saw the connections between the gut and the health, both psychological and physical. I learned about how the body and mind are connected, and how we think will affect the whole body. Show the gut and the micro biome in it affects us mentally. I saw the connection between how my HSP made life with PTSD more difficult. I changed my diet and experienced how all my diagnoses was reduced.

I read a book written by Dr Phil Parker: “Get the Life You Love, Now”. THIS BOOK SHIFTED MY ENTIRE LIFE.

It made me realize that I had lived in a state of a VICTIM my entire life. That I had pointed fingers at the brainwashing sect, my pedophile step-granddad, all of my diagnoses and also the way I had been treated by some people throughout life, as reasons to all my suffering.

I experienced that by taking responsibility for my own life, making the right decisions, actively making the right choices and taking actions, my life totally changed.

I’m no longer bedridden. I never sleep during day. I run my own company! I’m bold and brave, and I don’t take any bullshit from anyone.

I have inspired some, but still many don’t know, and I don’t have the time to share and care as long as I have to focus on building a company that is suppose to help construction companies be more visible on the web??

Now that I think of it, after doing this Mindvalley Quest: what did I actually think about, having this as a goal?! How would helping them be visible on the web help the world, the society, individuals??

Asking myself that question, makes me realize what I have been missing the whole time: a true sense of PURPOSE and VALUE. To BE the change and help people.

Now I just gonna have to take my 3MIQ’s and start shifting my company towards something else. It feels a little like a relief, but at the same time it scares me a little, cause I still need to make an income while doing this.

Im just gonna have to keep in mind those words of Vishen: «Don’t think about the HOW». This is the time for magic to happen. As I shift, the universe will work with me. This I am certain of.

Funny thing is that I don’t have to change my company name. It now matters more than ever.
