The Story of Cindy Lou Hadfield

When I was a child my dream was to be a teacher.  My favorite teacher in my 18 years of school from preschool through college was my kindergarten teacher.  She got me so excited to learn that I wanted to become a teacher and be like her.  I used to dress up and pretend like I was a teacher.  I had younger siblings so by default they became my students.  I also always had an entrepreneurial spirit and loved the idea of being in business for myself.  When I started college, I wanted to become a physical therapist so that I could help people recover when facing hard times.  That quickly changed because my love for wanting to be an entrepreneur was so strong inside of me.  My yearning to be a kindergarten teacher kept showing up.  I took enough classes to be close to a degree in childhood development.  I kept feeling this struggle between teacher and businesswoman.  After all my years in school I finally ended up graduating with a Bachelor’s in Management Information Systems and another Bachelor’s in Accounting and just a few classes away from a degree in Early Childhood Development.  As I was doing all that studying, I was taking care of three children ages 5 months, 2 years old and 3 years old.  I was having fun observing them grow with everything I was learning. 

Meanwhile on the business side I purchased an accounting software call Peachtree Accounting and started setting up businesses just for fun and pretended like I was in business and did all the transactions just like it was real.  When I graduated from college and got my first real accounting job, I realized I didn’t know how to be an accountant.  I am so grateful that I got hired by a man named Paul Jacob in Cincinnati, Ohio that taught me more in six months about accounting and business than I ever learned in college. 

I became a certified consultant for Peachtree Accounting and spent the next 25+ years teaching people how to set up and run their companies.

Meanwhile the teacher in me was still very much a part of me and talking to me.

Everyone that knows me understands that one of my favorite things to do is go to a child’s first day of kindergarten and since I never had children, I always got to be the Aunt and I love it.  I love school activities and graduations.  Every time I walked into a kindergarten classroom, I felt like I was home.

One of my favorite coaches, Jack Canfield, told me that just because I didn’t stand in front of a room full of children didn’t mean I wasn’t a teacher.  That was the exact moment that I became aware that I had always been a teacher. The same way kindergarten was a foundation for learning, helping people get started in business was also a foundation.  Wow what a powerful moment in my life.  Thank you, Jack!!

I have been studying and successfully applying the Law of Attraction since 2004 and after meeting so many coaches, I really understand how to use it.  I live my life by these principles. 

You can start to see the pattern.  The teacher in me wants to come out and play and this time I will be teaching “Creating Your Life on Purpose”, which is an 8-level journey of finding your passion so you can share it with the world.  This will launch your inner GPS as seen through the eyes of a child.

This is what I want my legacy to the world to be.  The adult version of me (Miss Cindy Lou) will play the role of the teacher while the 5-year-old kindergarten version of myself (Cindy Lou) will play the child that will show you through her young eyes.

TAKE INSPIRED ACTION: Play the WHY Game

Say the following out loud throughout your day –

• WHY do I love my story?
• WHY do I love who I am?
• WHY is being me enough?
• WHY am I the best person to live my passion?
• WHY am I grateful for my childhood?
• WHY do I appreciate everyone that taught me to be me?
• WHY do I live my life with love?
• WHY am I so excited to live in my passion?
• WHY do I love to share my passion to guide others that seek it?
• WHY am I always grateful?
