“I had this burning sensation in my gut, that I knew I needed to leap, and I knew I needed to do it now.”
“I think we oftentimes can look at what we are going through and assume, we are the only one who potentially has these problems.”
\~ Christina Springstead
It can be really challenging to invest in ourselves. To put time, money, energy, and effort into creating the kind of people we aspire to be. Fear of the unknown often holds us back, keeps us pent up in patterns and cycles of behavior that aren’t truly serving our purpose.
Taking the leap can be hard, but it is much easier when you surround yourself with people that have already done it. We can often feel like connecting with like minded people is a betrayal of our self-sufficiency. But it is the reverse, when we see it done, we believe more strongly than ever that we can do it too. When we see and feel people struggling up the same hills as us, we feel a sense of power in our collective connection.
Christina Springstead, owner of Springstead Solutions and Accelerate 2 Advisor Program super ambassador, talks about the power of transformation, in having faith in yourself to overcome your inner critic and taking the leap into your dream future.

But before we get into all of that, Christina, tell us a little bit about your career journey leading up to this point.
Christina Springstead (July 5): Oh, goodness. Well, I will take it all the way back to high school when I was in Business Professionals of America and focused on accounting classes and actually went out of high school into college with the sole purpose of wanting to be an accountant. And about a year into that, I told myself, you don't really want to sit behind a desk 40 hours a week, so this isn't the job for you. Got an itch and completely left the field and went into athletic training. So did a complete 180 there in college and then took a break from that as well. Uh, realized that was a little bit more graphic of a type of a career than what I wanted to have. And so took some time off and went and worked and got some work experience and, uh, realized I just always ended up in management of a company's finances at some point. So no matter where I went, I was moving up and I was always involved in financial processes. So. Ended up going back to school and got my master's in business and, uh, went to work in operations for the NBA DL for quite some time, uh, which I enjoyed, but the industry was a little bit, uh, too much time
