I’m sick of being told I need to slow down, that I’m too aggressive, to stop working so much. I refuse to quit doing something I am passionate about. I refuse to quit. I refuse to STOP. Don’t you hate it when people try and tell you what THEY think is best for you? You KNOW what’s best You WILL do what you want, regardless of what others think You CAN be, do and have EVERYTHING you want in life Admit it: You love the rush that comes from the daily hustle. And truth be told, the hustle is FUN for you, you LOVE to wake up and get straight to work, get it done all day long, and go to bed with it on your mind. You don’t WANNA quit. You don’t WANNA slow down. You don’t WANNA be told how to act and what to say. Fuck the internet marketers that try to tell you how to use copy to persuade, how to say the right things at the right time to entice a bunch of people to buy your stuff. Because although that definitely works, it kills you inside to participate in shit that isn’t truly in alignment with who you are. You do things YOUR way and no one can stop you. You can make just as much money, if not MORE, than those who give in to the boring ass crap most coaches teach, by simply showing up every day, sharing your message and giving great value to your community. It really is SIMPLE, and I wish more people just GOT this: Making money...

When are you finally going to surrender to what you want? When are you going to let go of everything that’s holding you back? When are you going to stop making excuses for your lack of success? Enough is enough! You are destined to do great things and live an extraordinary VIP life, but not until you cut the crap and stop sabbotaging yourself. Admit it: You’ve been complaining You’ve been neglecting You’ve been giving up You’ve been stopping You’ve been questioning your abilities But still, deep down, you’re just like me: You KNOW you were born to do MASSIVE things in the world. You KNOW you were born to make millions of dollars and impact millions of people. You KNOW you were born to live life on your own terms, work for YOURSELF only, travel the globe, and live a VIP lifestyle. People like us get a bad reputation. We’re workaholics We’re selfish We’re greedy AF We’re self-absorbed We’re all about the money We have no life Just because we’re PASSIONATE about our work. Just because we’ve learned how to monetize ourselves and so to others, it appears we’re working all the time (when really, we’re just LIVING and getting paid for it). Just because we refuse to conform and be normal. Just because we’re us! And you know what? People won’t like you no matter how good of a person you are, so you might as well be whoever the hell you WANT to be! If that means being seen as a self-absorbed workaholic, so be it! So again I ask you: When is it going to be...

I don’t know why I’m writing about fear today. I guess I have some fears of my own to let go of. I just know that it’s a topic someone else out there needs to hear right now, at this very moment. Maybe it’s you. Maybe right now you’re struggling with a MASSIVE fear and it’s holding you back from doing what you know you need to do to find the success you long for. I remember back when I started my coaching business, less than 2 years ago (seems like I’ve been doing this forever!). I was terrified. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing or whether or not it would be a huge failure and waste of time. I knew a LOT about business, after being in business over a decade, it was just part of my life and something I was strong in. But coaching? I’d never worked with anyone privately before. The extend of my coaching on business was a few blog posts on how to make money blogging! But I knew in my gut I HAD to do it. I knew this was my calling. I knew this was IT. I’d been searching for years to find my “thing”. That one thing that woke me up every morning and kept me up every night. That one thing I was so passionate about I’d do it for free the rest of my life! So when the idea of business coaching was run by me, I felt in my gut that THIS is what I was searching for. But I was scared. However, if...

I’ve noticed that every year, there is a new wave of “entrepreneurs” that come onto the scene. They watch everyone around them, they copy or imitate others that are successful. They refuse to invest in themselves. Their work is half-assed and often regurgitated content from someone else that they put a slight spin on. They are trying to succeed in a world they weren’t designed to be in. And after a year (or less), most of them fade away. Disappear. And a new wave takes their place. I’ve already seen a bunch of people walk away that, in the beginning of 2016, told me they were going to “crush it beyond belief” this year. Some people are simply not cut out for this world. Harsh, but true. But let’s be real: If you ARE cut out for it, you do whatever the fuck it takes to succeed. You don’t give up. You REFUSE to give up. You get knocked down time and time again and you get the fuck back up and keep going. Because you know that deep down, this is what you were BORN to do. Everything you do is a choice. You have a choice to get up in the morning and bust your ass for your dreams. Or not. You have a choice to work side by side with amazing mentors, clients and collegues. Or not. You have a choice to show up and be FULLY present in your life each day. Or not. You get to make the choice. No one else. You may THINK that others occassionally have the upper hand (government, teachers,...

I used to think that pleasing others was more important than pleasing myself. How selfish of me to put myself first. That’s not what Mother Theresa would do. Or Ghandi. Or Princess Diana. How DARE I put my needs above others. For years, I struggled with wanting to do things, but not doing them because it wasn’t “fair” to others. I grew up with a lot of fucked up beliefs – I can’t make more money than my partner I can’t make more money than my parents I need to “climb the ladder” and “wait my turn” for success Talking about money is shameful and rude I look back on myself 10+ years ago and all I see is a sad, lonely girl with big dreams, constantly being told that she CAN’T. Somewhere along the way, I think I got lost. I think I started to follow and believe in the dreams of others, and forget or ignore my own, because it “wasn’t my turn yet”. I was told that success isn’t easy, that it takes a LOOOOONG time to attain, and that, even if I DID achieve it, I would do so at a great cost and it wouldn’t be worth it in the end. And so somewhere along the way, I gave up on my idea of success. I got frustrated. Annoyed. And I really think that, deep down, I stopped believing that what I desire is actually possible for me. I stopped listening to my gut. I stopped trusting my instincts. And instead, I let the opinions of others steer me. I had people telling me that...
