Sometimes you just need to step back and look at how far you’ve come. Express gratitude. Be fucking grateful, damn it! And also – Look at where things are not lining up. Not feeling right. With the GO, GO, GO of being a creative entrepreneur that wants to change the world, it’s hard to slow down sometimes and take time to BREATHE and reflect. In fact, I don’t enjoy the slowing down bit, but I do it from time to time when I’m not feeling completely in alignment and I know a big uplevel is around the corner. See, for me, my goal this year was to bring in a million dollars in sales. And I need to look at the numbers more closely, but I know I didn’t hit that goal. And I also know it’s because I wasn’t completely in alignment for some parts of the year, which left me feeling STUCK. And so I’ve been journaling a lot more lately. Upwards of 3 times a day, totaling 3-4 hours some days. And I know, that sounds like a lot.. and maybe it is. But for me, getting out of that FUNK, getting back INTO alignment, comes more easily to me when I’m journaling. Getting all of my thoughts out of my head and onto paper. Writing. Typing. Speaking. Whatever – But letting it out. Today is November 30th. There is one month left until the new year and I am declaring 2017 not just a million dollars, but TWO million dollars. And not just in sales, but in CASH. I am declaring it here, publicly, to...

You need to let it all out. Everything that’s in your head. The good, the bad, the great, the ugly.. No holding back. You can’t suppress your thoughts if you want to grow! You really hope you hit your money goal this month and you’re nervous that you won’t. You’re only two days away from December! And then you’ll feel like shit. Like a failure. Like you don’t know what you’re doing. Like you’re not good at this. Like a fraud. But, ARE you a fraud? No. You only teach what you know. You don’t exaggerate the truth. You’re open and honest about your wins AND your losses. You genuinely want to help people. What you know and can share has the ability to really help others! You’re no fraud. You have already helped people! You have already shown that you know a thing or two. 😉 The only way to hit a money goal (or any goal for that matter) is to consider it DONE and then act accordingly. Believe that it’s done. Believe that you did it! Believe that it’s possible. And take aligned action every day, all day long, until it is so and you blow that goal out of the water! You are enough. Just as you are. Remember to enjoy the journey. Don’t try to rush it, but don’t hold yourself up, either. Be present for your community. Be present for you. Ignore the wannabes, the fakers. Surround yourself with people who give a shit, people who care, people who are JUST LIKE YOU. With ambition, drive, and the desire to have it all....

It’s time to get up. Step up. Be the BEST you can be. For you, your community, your legacy. It’s Monday. The most hated day of the week for many. But not for you. Not for US. Because Monday means a fresh new week, a fresh new perspective, a fresh new BLANK SLATE!! Monday is the BEST. Truly. Here’s what I want you to do today. It’s something you’ve been afraid to do for a long time, but I promise you that it will be worth it – Share. Share again. Share MORE. That’s it! It’s not always about giving tips, or step-by-step processes, or free printable downloads, or WHATEVER. It’s always about showing up and SHARING. Share what you know. What happens daily. What is OBVIOUS to you, but not to them. Pull back the curtain. There is power in your words. Power in your thoughts. Power in your actions. Your action is to show up and share. Every day. Most of the stuff that your audience really wants is the stuff you think they already know. THEY DON’T KNOW. Tell them! Be the messenger. You need to learn to make decisions FASTER. Stop over-thinking every damn decision. JUMP ALL THE WAY IN OR BACK ALL THE WAY OUT. But choose. Now. Not later. Not tomorrow. Not next month. Right fucking now. Don’t allow yourself to miss out on opportunities that can potentially change your life. STRETCH yourself. It’s not supposed to be easy! If you want to be the best Do the best LIVE the best – Then expect it to hurt. Expect it to be challenging....

Alright, here we go. I’m about to get REALLY fucking honest… not that I’m not normally honest, but this time, I’m getting REALLY honest about something I’ve been doing to sabotage myself. And the reason I’m telling YOU this is so that you don’t do it to yourself. It’s easy to do. It’s the safe thing to do. It’s what many people will TELL you to do. and it’s also the stupidest thing to do, in my mind.. and I’ve been doing it. For the last few months, I’ve been focusing on the wrong thing. I’ve been focused on the money. Not because I need it, but because I WANT IT. And that, I don’t see a problem with. It’s okay to want money. It’s okay to want A LOT of money. And it’s even okay to ADMIT you want a lot of money! The problem is that I was thinking more about the money than the impact I was having. And the impact is a HUGE part of my why. It is really the BIGGEST part of why I show up day after day, night after night, and share myself, my story, my lessons, my findings.. with YOU. I want to change the world. I want women everywhere to know they are POWERFUL. I want to be someone who INSPIRES, not someone who tries to scare you and tell you that life is hard, suck it up, and try to “get through the days”. I want you to know that, yes, you really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Everything! And lately, I just don’t feel like...

I slept in today. And then I woke up, made coffee, did some journaling, and proceeded to drop a grand on Black Friday deals. At first I felt guilty. I should be writing! I should be creating! I should be connecting! But I knew I needed to do something for ME. It had to be what I wanted. I haven’t slept later than 5am in months. I haven’t gone on a shopping spree in awhile either, and I just needed to ENJOY MYSELF. Not that I don’t enjoy myself normally, because I do. But I sometimes forget about ME in the process of the DO, DO, DO and GO, GO, GO. Maybe you’re the same. And if that’s the case, then today I encourage you to do something for YOU. Something that you haven’t allowed yourself to do in awhile. The whole point of this lifestyle we’re creating is to enjoy life more. To be, do and have everything we want. And the hustle, the grind? Yeah, we want that. But we also want space, freedom, comfort, convenience, and to feel like the VIP we know we are. Today while I journaled, I asked myself what I would need to do today if I could go to bed completely happy. What would today need to look like for that to happen? Here’s what came up for me – I received at least 10 orders on BBA I wrote an amazing messaging post that felt like a huge release The house was fully cleaned, from top to bottom We ate a delicious lunch and dinner I got all of my sales...
