A lot of the time, when I do my daily journaling, I ask myself questions around what I really want – What do I REALLY want in life/business/my relationship with ____? What would I be doing if I had _________? What is my ideal lifestyle? What can I do to ensure success today? What DOES success look like to me? And the list goes on… My journaling sessions almost always start with me asking myself a question! Anyway – Today I asked myself what I would be doing if I had all the money I needed (thanks to my mentor Kat for that question!), and yeah, I wrote down the usual stuff I’m striving for, such as my private jet, starting my animal sanctuary and even buying a whole new wardrobe.. but one thing that came up I wasn’t expecting was this: Enroll the kids in private school. I didn’t even realize I WANTED to enroll the kids in private school. But I DO hate the public school system and think it’s totally fucked, soooooo… OBVIOUSLY, deep down, THIS is what I really wanted to do to give them a good shot in life! Of course, they could always be entrepreneurs and drop out of school like I did, and I would be totally cool with that, let’s be honest.. but I do want to give them as many opportunities to succeed as I can – And apparently private school is one of those opportunities! And seeing as how that’s a high multi-six-figure investment for 2 kids, it’s something I need to have A LOT of money for. Which...

This morning I was thinking about what success really means to me. It really looks different for everyone, but I think for me especially, it looks crazy (in a good way)! To me, success means – Never worrying about money or LACK Regular success stories from my clients Never wanting to stop doing what I’m doing Having a huge impact in the world every day Money abundance at all times Traveling VIP-style, and traveling monthly, at least Receiving amazing testimonials from my clients Being supported by the best of the best Collaborating with the best of the best Being mentored by the best of the best BEING the best of the best Hearing “you changed my life” from members of my community Being a top, recognized leader in my industry Being able to sell without fear Actually WANTING to show up all day, every day And so far, most of those things have come true for me and I am so grateful. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself that this is my life. That I get to enjoy all of this abundance – Abundance of love Abundance of creativity Abundance of freedom Abundance of money Abundance of community This level of success, and more, is for YOU, too. YOU were born for more. You see, everyone wants success, but most people settle for “good enough”. You are not one of those people. You were put on this earth to have a HUGE impact and you’re not gonna stop until you get what you...

I love it when people doubt me. I’m not embarrassed to admit that nothing gives me more pleasure than rubbing it in the face of someone who doubted me, that I did EXACTLY what they said I couldn’t. Say I won’t be the next female Tony Robbins. Say I won’t make money when I use the word FUCK in my content. Say I won’t have my own TV show (5-seasons in, yo!). Say I won’t collaborate with the best of the best. Say I won’t be able to afford a beach house (or two). Say I won’t bring in $100K a month regularly. Say I won’t generate millions every year just being ME. Say I won’t fly in private jets. Say I won’t be able to keep up this luxury lifestyle I’ve created for myself. SAY I WON’T. Because that just puts a fire under my ass to do it even more. When someone tells me I can’t do something, not only do I do it, but I do it better and faster than I said I would. And I get immense pleasure saying I TOLD YOU I WOULD! Because let’s be real; sometimes I need to say that just so I believe it myself. Even though I believe in myself 100%, sometimes doubt creeps in, especially when my goals are huge. And so when someone sees my goals and thinks they are “too big” and can’t be done, I say thank you. Because that’s just the push I need to make them happen. Because I can’t have them be right! Hell no! So I hustle harder, make it...

Don’t be afraid. Of the failures. That people won’t like you. To offend someone. To be honest. Of the expense. Of the work. Of the hustle. Show up anyway. Despite the fears. Despite the uncertainty. Be aware of the impact you can make. That you were BORN to make. It’s NOT all about you. You can change lives with your words. Don’t you see? What you DO is not nearly as important as what you SAY. If your words don’t resonate, nothing does. It’s true. Untiltered. You. 100%. Why faking it never works: It COMES OFF as fake (you’re not fooling anyone). You can’t speak from the heart, which is what connects you with your audience. You aren’t able to get inspired. You never actually FEEL like getting your hustle on. You’re really fucking obvious, to be honest. Step into who you ARE at the core. And tell us. Show us. Be one of the few who are comfortable being 100% authentic. Do YOU resonate with people who appear to be perfect? I’m willing to bet NO. Now think about the people who you DO resonate with. Those who say what they want no matter what. Those who call you out on your shit and make you laugh in the same breath. Those who make you think. Those who inspire you. Those who simply make your life BETTER. That’s who YOU need to be for YOUR community. Be the one not afraid to tell the truth. Be the one willing to look like an ass. Be the one who never strays from the truth. Be the one that is...

I used to think I had to hide my imperfections. I had to pretend I was better at things than I actually was. I’ve even held back asking my mastermind sisters for help because I wanted them to think I knew what the fuck I was doing with everything, at all times. I’ve lied. Said I was awesome when I was struggling. Said I was excited when I was scared. My shit is that I want everyone to think I’ve always got my shit together. The truth? I NEVER have my shit together. I never know what the day will hold. I never know if I will get done what I want to get done. I never know if I will hit my goals or fail miserably. I never know how things will go. I thrive in the chaos. I don’t WANT to be organized and know what’s gonna happen next. Truth be told, I enjoy not having my shit together. Because it forces me to be creative and think on my feet. My lack of control gets me into the zone! Chaos + hustle = productivity, baby! But I still For some reason Some really RIDICULOUS reason Don’t like people to think I don’t actually have it all together. (Now you know!) That’s my shit. We all have our shit. The shit that drives us, that works for us, but the shit we try to hide. Because deep down, we just want to be the best we can be, we want others to think we’re perfect, that we have all the answers. But I don’t. You don’t. No...
