But eating salads for dinner and skipping your nightly glass of wine after a long day to lose 5 pounds for your friend\u2019s wedding\u2026.not so easy.<\/p>\n<p>The only difference in each of these scenarios is the level of importance placed on the intended outcome. If the outcome is important like healing your child, impressing your crush, or saving your life, our natural survival instincts kick in and immediate and impressive action is required to ensure your success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #ff7878;\">So, why is it that women don\u2019t take impressive action to win pageants?<br \/><strong> Because, it\u2019s not important enough to them.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First, the culture of our world paints pageantry as an unimportant hobby, something that only silly blonde girls do to play dress up and pretend to be a princess. This image is obviously erroneous to those of us that have put in the work to climb the ladder of impact and success.\u00a0But, it certainly shapes the minds of women at the starting line.<\/p>\n<p>Second, when the hard work happens behind the scenes, and all that\u2019s seen is the performance\u2026and, of course, a true professional makes their work look easy and effortless, it\u2019s easy to fool yourself into believing that it is in fact easy and effortless. It\u2019s like when you watch a famous A-list actor write, perform, and produce several movies in one year; or a professional model on the cover of a magazine \u2013 they make it look so easy, you think \u201cI could do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Third, when we don\u2019t know what true gold lies at the end of the arch of the rainbow, it\u2019s hard to start the climb up the rainbow.<\/p>\n<p>If something is not important, it\u2019s easy to just sit back and keep peacefully dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>When we know the value and importance of something, it immediately moves to the top of our list of priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Everything that\u2019s important has a strategy and an investment of time, money, and\/or energy \u2013 everything!<\/p>\n<p>For example, even the basic daily task of picking out your clothes for the day\u2026 you don\u2019t need a strategy for that\u2026unless:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re giving a big presentation at work that could land you a promotion.<\/li>\n<li>You sit next to your crush in your Tuesday-Thursday 8am Speech class.<\/li>\n<li>You want to go straight to work after you leave the gym and need to take everything with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These situations make choosing an outfit very important, and for that you have a strategy, your willing to invest in something of quality, and you take the time to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of women that compete in pageants, but most women \u2013 90% &#8211; don\u2019t see it as important enough to have a strategy and invest the time, money, and effort in order to win. They believe it\u2019s either silly to even try, ought to be easy, or not worth their investment.<\/p>\n<p>Let me ask you where you stand right now? <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">For the last 2 weeks, I\u2019ve offered FREE Strategy Calls. This is a 30-minute phone call with me, which normally costs about $100, for free where I help you to discover a strategy for your pageant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Hey girl! Strategy Calls are no longer available but, you may like our new course &#8220;Pageant Interview Game Plan.&#8221; <a style=\"color: #424cd1; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/interview.winapageant.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click HERE to learn more<\/a>!<\/h4>\n<p>If you are a pageant contestant wanting to win and you have not yet signed up for this, it\u2019s likely because you believe that either:<\/p>\n<p>A. it\u2019s too silly to need a strategy<br \/>B. it should be natural and people don\u2019t really have strategies and coaches to win<br \/>C. it\u2019s not worth the effort that it would take<\/p>\n<p>I want you to ask yourself honestly, where do you stand? Which lie are you believing? When you can identify where you stand, you\u2019ll know what\u2019s holding you back from your success.<\/p>\n<p>When I first started competing, I was under the belief that the most naturally talented, beautiful woman would win. And I thought I was that natural beauty\u2026maybe, so it was worth a shot. I didn\u2019t really do much work, so it didn\u2019t work and I didn\u2019t win.<\/p>\n<p>Once I realized that people did put in effort, I assumed it was worth the effort, so I started working on things I thought was what others were working on. I still didn\u2019t think I needed an Olympic strategy with weekly coaching.<\/p>\n<p>Until\u2026.I competed in my first national pageant and realized that everyone else had an Olympic Strategy and weekly coaching.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when I started to fully go all in! I got the strategy, I paid for the coaching, and I put in the work, and knew exactly the real prize I was after.<\/p>\n<p>I see these three things come up in my clients all the time. These are deep-seeded beliefs that must be uprooted and replaced with powerful, specific actions in a strategy for success.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, it\u2019s okay if pageants aren\u2019t a priority in your life. Like, if you\u2019re having a baby or moving across country to a new job, or battling a life-threatening illness, or a host of other reasons, things things are more important than a pageant right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #ff7878; text-align: center;\">Because if pageants aren\u2019t important to you, you won\u2019t do the work necessary to truly win.<\/h3>\n<p><em>And, that my dear\u00a0is how you win a pageant.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Information<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alyciadarby\">@AlyciaDarby<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/winapageant\">WinAPageant Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more great pageant training, enroll in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/freepageantcourse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/FreePageantCourse.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1583616946812000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHe1YQzqw9ar1f-oA3dl-t_B29QZA\">Free Pageant Course<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/FreePageantCourse.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Free-Pageant-Course-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Free-Pageant-Course-1.png 700w, https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Free-Pageant-Course-1-300x129.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1012\" src=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Podcast-Cover-Photos-14-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Podcast Cover Photos-14\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Podcast-Cover-Photos-14-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Podcast-Cover-Photos-14.jpg 767w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In episode 57, we talked about the <a href=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">difference between the dreamers and the do-ers<\/a>.
