I’ve been thinking about perfectionism for awhile now, along with the process of actually attaining perfection (in all areas of life). It must be the time of year or something, because I NEVER think in terms of perfection, as I know that it’s simply not something that’s attainable. Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. But that doesn’t mean you can’t life a perfect life. Or at least, what FEELS like a perfect life to you. 🙂 The process is not perfect. It’s not meant to be perfect. The process is long, hard, and rarely makes a bit of sense most of the time, if I’m being honest. But you feel those tugs. You feel those FEELINGS. You feel that strong pull. And you know. You just know. This is it.THIS is exactly what needs to happen. This thing right here in front of you is what you need to jump on. Now. What that is for you, I don’t know. But you do. And if you were waiting for a sign that leapt up out of the bushes and said “DO IT!”, well, this is it. But getting into the zone Being creative & feeling free That may not come easily to you And that’s okay. Because the process is not perfect. The overwhelm is real and we all feel it more often than not. The sheer amount of work we do each day is astounding, but we do it anyway, because we can’t NOT. It’s just in our DNA to hustle and make shit happen. Even if it feels hard and scary and as though no one...

I used to think that in order to have one thing that I wanted, I couldn’t have something else. So if I wanted to be rich, I couldn’t have freedom. If I wanted to be super fit and healthy, I couldn’t eat the foods I wanted. If I wanted to be a great mom, I couldn’t have a successful business. I had to give something up in order to receive something else, or so I thought. But how fucking ridiculous is that? How selfish of you to think that you CAN’T have it all! How arrogant! How vain! It’s not all about you – Except it is and it can be, if you decide so. This all comes down to one of my favorite sayings of my own – You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. How? By making the decision that it is so. When we were kids, we were often told that we couldn’t have the things we wanted, over and over again we were told “no”, or “not right now” or “maybe later (but probably not”, so no wonder that as adults we feel as though we can’t have everything we want in life. But this is a flawed belief. Only the truly successful know, without a doubt, that they can have EVERYTHING they want and more. I have an exercise for you to do today. Please take the time to do it, as it can most certaintly change your life! First, get out a pen & paper and write down 10 things you want to receive in 2017. These could be physical items,...

I love the energy this time of year! I love seeing people setting goals, intentions and really putting their stake in the ground of what they want in life. Even though I think it’s important to set goals all throughout the year and not just the first of January, there’s something to be said about the energy that’s around during this time of year and ONLY this time of year. We’re simply more excited because of all that’s possible for an entire YEAR! So the vibe is high, and the energy is something you really want to soak up and really take advantage of! Have you set goals for yourself this year? Do you have a plan to attain them? Or are they merely just WISHES you hope will come true? While I don’t necessarily believe that you need a step-by-step action plan to achieve a goal (because there are so many uncertainties in life, but also, because that’s just not a fun way to live your life!), I whole-heartedely agree that you need to do more than just set a few goals and then cross your fingers everything works out in your favour. PUH-LEASE. In order to execute every day, you must be focused on SUCCESS in all areas, but especially the areas in which you want to improve. That could be money, business, health, relationships, lifestyle, whatever – And success is a habit. True success comes down to what you do, day in and day out, on repeat. True success comes down to knowing what you want and the type of person you need to be to...

The past year has been full of ups and downs for many of us, but I hope that you can look back on 2016 and be grateful for all of the good that came of it. There were a lot of INCREDIBLE things that happened, lots of experiences that will shape you for the rest of your life. I want you to know that 2016 was a year of new beginnings. A year that maybe chewed you up and spit you out a few times, but a year that set the stage for what is to be your best year ever. 2017 is yours for the making. It can and it will be your most sucessful year to date, if you allow that to happen. And I’m not just talking about success in business, but in ALL areas of your life – Physical Spiritual Relationships Money Lifestyle But before that can happen, you need to clear out the clutter and make room for all the great things that will be happening for you this year. What that means? Getting rid of everything and everyone that is holding you back from having the life that you want. 2016 was a year of growth for me. I worked with some amazing coaches and clients, mastered (and continue to improve upon) my skills in sales, marketing and everything empire-creation. I made way more money than I ever have before. I truly embraced my VIP lifestyle and allowed myself to lean into this luxurious lifestyle I was creating, instead of being ashamed that I wanted it. But before I could have this incredible...
