In honor of the beta-launch of my first ever Owning Pink e-course Get Out Of Your Own Way: Free Yourself From Fear And Worry And Leap Into Your Dreams, I’ll be posting a series of posts based on Get Out Of Your Own Way superstars who have implemented the principles of the e-course. These beauties have gotten out of their own way and started ROCKING this life by tapping into their authentic selves (aka the Inner Pilot Light), letting their freak flags fly, finding their callings, identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, eliminating false obstacles, getting jiggy with raking in the moolah, and starting to live the joyful, powerful, fulfilling lives they’re destined to live.

Let’s start with Michelle Medina.

Human beings are wired to seek novelty and challenge. It may sound nice to live on the beach sipping fruity drinks all day, but the reality is that no one really wants to do that all the time. So we reach and stretch and find that we always have a little (if not a lot) too much on our plate. We generally feel slightly overwhelmed. And that can feel stressful. But it doesn’t have to.

Success and failure go hand in hand.

"The things you are fired for are often the things that in later life you will be celebrated and given lifetime achievement awards for!" Francis Ford Coppola was canned for writing an "odd" and awkward script for the now legendary film Patton. The film was shelved, took years to make, and then went on to win an Oscar for best screenplay. Meanwhile, Coppola was working on The Godfather and was also on the verge of being canned from that film. He figures the glory from the Oscar saved his butt from being fired from The Godfather... which, as we all know, went down in movie making history.
