Your life can change in an instant, if you let it. You KNOW deep inside of you that you were meant to do big things with your life. You KNOW you were born to change the world with your words. You KNOW you were born to be a leader and to share your message in a big way. You KNOW you were born to make A LOT of money doing what you love and helping others. You KNOW you were born for MORE than what you’re currently experiencing. Right? Right. So let’s get right into it then – Why DON’T you have everything you want? Well, 2 reasons: You don’t believe it’s possible to have it all. You aren’t doing what’s necessary to have it. That’s really all there is to it. You get what you ask for and work for. Not what you cross your fingers and hope for. So let’s examine these 2 reasons a bit closer: YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT’S POSSIBLE TO HAVE IT ALL – If your belief is lacking, you’re going to reject any opportunity that comes your way, oftentimes without even realizing it. Opportunities that very well may hand you EXACTLY what you want. Maybe you think that it seems too good to be true, it can’t be THAT easy, can it? Well, take a look around at the successful people doing what you do. Do they have it all? If so, then it’s possible for you, too. No, it likely won’t be easy, but nothing worth having comes easy anyway, so let’s get that out of your head right now. 🙂 Maybe...

Almost every time I’m out somewhere during a week day, I get asked “do you have the day off work today?” Which is a puzzling question in and of itself, I mean – A) Why does that matter? and B) Why would you assume so? But I get it. They’re probably just trying to make small talk. Or they’re genuinely curious how I can be “out and about”, while they’re chained to their desk job for 8-12 hours a day. I can see how that would suck. I REMEMBER how much that sucked. Having someone else tell you what to do all day. Having to beg for time off to go on vacation with your family. Feeling guilty asking for a day off because you’re deathly sick in bed. So when you see someone else who ISN’T strapped down, forced to do shit they don’t wanna do, like you are – It’s easy to wonder: “But HOW???”. So I get it when they ask me how the fuck I can be out on my own, doing what I want, on my terms! I GET IT. But it still kind of frustrates me. Because there are a lot of assumptions that come with that question. People ASSUME that just because you work for yourself you have no responsibilities, or very little of them at least, when in fact, you have MORE. The only difference is that YOU are the boss of you. YOU tell yourself what you need to do. And it’s VERY easy to convince yourself that you don’t “need” to do something. It’s very easy to be a laid back...

I get that you’re scared right now. I understand that it’s almost March and you’re nowhere near where you wanted to be in terms of your goals. I totally relate to the fact that you’re feeling frustrated. And I want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. I also want you to know that it’s OKAY. Everything is going to be okay. Because the point is – You’re still taking action. And no matter how hard and scary it gets, you always need to be taking action. When your hands are trembling When your heart is pounding When you feel like you can’t breathe When you are overcome with fear When you can’t stop thinking about it When you seriously want to vomit… Do it anyway. Whatever “it” is. You need to take action. There is no waiting. Those feelings of fear and overwhelm and uncertainty… I’ve learned that they are the emotions I need to act on, in a positive way, straight away. Right then and there. Because if I don’t, they will eat me alive. Just like they’re doing to you right now. They’re eating you alive, and you’re letting them. You’re allowing your feelings to dictate your actions – And let me just tell you, that is one surefire way to screw yourself over! If you want success, however success looks to you, action is always the answer. You can’t allow your feelings to stop you from taking action, because if they do, it’s all downhill… Your feelings don’t matter unless they’re feelings of positivity. Feelings of empowerment. Feelings of strength. ...

I was tempted to title this email “How NOT to make money” because I see SO many people wasting time on stupid shit that doesn’t matter, and actually DOESN’T make them money – In fact, I’ve been guilty of this myself in the past and know how detrimental it is! It’s a waste of time to be doing tasks that won’t in some way make you happy or make you money. That’s the truth. It’s a WASTE. OF. TIME. It’s not obnoxious of you to want more money. It’s not WRONG of you to want (and expect) more. it’s not greedy or selfish or disgusting of you to treat money-making as a necessity! In fact, what’s ACTUALLY obnoxious, wrong and selfish is NOT giving yourself what you want and need: Which is – In case you haven’t guessed it by now – MORE MONEY. More money allows you to help and serve more people. It allows you to make a serious impact in the world and the lives of those around you. Making more money is your duty, your obligation, and your RIGHT! You don’t need to explain yourself when others ask why you “can’t just be happy with what you have”. You don’t need to explain to ANYONE why you simply want more. You can want it. You can have it. And you don’t need to explain why. But the thing is – Even though you may WANT it, and you want it for the right reasons? You’re just not making the money you want to be making right now, right? You’re doing alright. In fact, you’re doing better than...

I’m not gonna sit here and try to pretend to know what the fuck I’m doing. It’s just a guessing game. I am doing what feeds my soul. I am following the nudges. I am listening in to what I feel CALLED to do. And then I go and do THAT. I don’t have all the answers. But I do know this: You KNOW what you need to do; always. Regardless of the situation, you know what you need to do. The sad thing is that most people seek out the opinions of others to feed their soul. “What should I do?”, “What do you think”? Who the fuck CARES what I think? What do YOU think? What do YOU actually WANT to do? There are no rules. There isn’t a magic handbook to life that will give you a step-by-step plan to achieving X, Y and Z. Go inside. Deep inside your thoughts. Deep inside your head. Deep inside your fucking SOUL and ask: What do I need to say? What do I need to do? How do I need to tackle this? What is my next move? Stop seeking validation from others! Stop thinking that you can’t figure out what YOU need. Stop saying you don’t know. YOU KNOW. You’ve always known. You just don’t trust yourself enough to listen. Go inside. Go inside. Go inside. Deep within your soul are the answers to questions you’re asking yourself now and even the questions you’ve long forgotten. The answers are there. Shut up and listen! No one can save you except yourself. Are you a leader or a...
