Just now I was having a conversation with one of my kickass clients and she was telling me that although lots of amazing things are happening for her right now, she is still feeling resistance around putting out content every day, because she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to stay consistent with it – Which is a common problem for most entrepreneurs: “Oh but if I send an email 5x a week this week, I have to do it that way forever” and “Oh but if I post 10x a day on Facebook, I have to do that every day until the day I die, ahhhhh!” When really – No. You don’t. I mean, yes, you DO want to stay consistent, especially when it comes to showing up and sharing your message all day, every day, all OVER the place, but the fear of not being able to stay consistent is NOT the issue. The issue is the way you view “showing up” and “creating”. Can we talk about CONTENT for a minute here? Since when did creating content become such a big deal? Why is it so HARD for some people and so EASY for others? Why can some people knock out 5 posts a day on 10 social media platforms, launch a new offer every week, and send daily emails, when you’re lucky if you remember to post a picture of your lunch on Instagram today? I’ll tell you why – Because one person has figured CONTENT out and the other hasn’t. Simply put, this is what “content” REALLY is: Content is your thoughts, your opinions,...

So many people are focused on the wrong fucking goal and that’s what’s killing their chances of actually achieving it. Asking for more money is great, we all want to be more abundant, financially speaking. But there MUST be a deeper reason to want more money than for the simple thought of HAVING more money. The money is not the goal. The money should never BE the goal. The goal is, in fact – What you can CREATE with the money. Maybe you want to travel around the world, in true VIP style. Money can buy you that. Maybe you want to start your own charity. Money can buy you that. Maybe you want to invest more into your business. Money can buy you that. Maybe you want to find and move into your dream home. Money can buy you that. Maybe you want to hire or retire your spouse. Money can buy you that. Maybe you want to financially support your parents. Money can buy you that. It’s crucial that you immediately stop making your primary goal MONEY and instead make the goal what money will buy. And let’s take that even a step futher – I find that the most common reason for wanting more money is for “financial freedom”, meaning you never have to worry about money. Well, that’s a fine goal, there’s nothing wrong with it per say, but have you ever asked yourself what “financial freedom” actually meant to you? I bet it doesn’t mean sitting on your ass all day, doing nothing, and letting that money sit in the bank, am I right?...

Repeat after me: “I am good enough.” “I am worthy of everything I desire.” “I am powerful.” “I am smart.” “I am gracious and kind.” “I am an incredible leader.” “I can be, do and have EVERYTHING I want.” Now, DEEP BREATH, and then say repeat them again, but this time, with more conviction. Say them like you MEAN them! “I am good enough.” “I am worthy of everything I desire.” “I am powerful.” “I am smart.” “I am gracious and kind.” “I am an incredible leader.” “I can be, do and have EVERYTHING I want.” The more you allow yourself to get into the mindset of being able to create your own reality with your thoughts and affirmations, the more you will actually be able to do so. I remember working with my first mentor on this – She is a mindset & marketing coach, and I hired her just for the marketing piece (even though of course they go hand in hand, but I didn’t know that at the time). Every time she would bring up mindset, or visualization, or journaling, or manifestation, or affirmations, or meditating.. I blocked her out. I stopped listening. I thought she was a total weirdo and wanted to avoid her weird vibes getting into my head, HA! Well, after months of doing JUST the marketing work, but zero mindset work, only achieving minimal goals that I set for myself, but being NOWHERE near close to where I wanted to be, I finally agreed to try “the weird mindset stuff” for a week. And.. Well, the rest, as they say, is history. I...

Do you find it hard to ever get ahead? Do you feel as though as soon as things start going well for you, they quickly then come CRASHING down? You make more money, then you lose it. You grow your community, and then people leave. You create more content, and then you stop. It just never seems to continue.. the good stuff, I mean… right? Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that’s your own fault. If you want things to be amazing, you have to make them amazing. If you want things to STAY amazing, you have to make sure they STAY amazing! You’re the one that’s sabbotaging yourself and your success. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in your world, the experiences that you are having right now are all on YOU. No other outside source is conspiring against you. Those experiences are all being brought on by YOU. The sabbotaging you’re doing to yourself right now? It’s time to put an end to it, don’t you think? 10 WAYS YOU’RE SABBOTAGING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW {AND HOW TO STOP} 1. You’re giving up too easily. Let me just tell you that in all seriousness: it gets harder before it gets easier, but it DOES get easier. Failure and mistakes are a beautiful part of the process. Instead of being pissed off and upset when they happen, learn to embrace and learn from them. Give yourself permission to fuck it all up, if that’s what’s necessary to create the life that you want. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can...

There is something ridiculous happening right now in the online space that is driving me crazy: the broke leading the broke. Not even kidding. Men & women who are broke as fuck teaching other men & women how to make money. SAY WHAAAAAT? I’m honestly really surprised that people still fall for this. It’s SO obvious to me when someone is lying and making shit up! Nothing makes me more sick to my stomach than this kind of shit and someone needs to call it out and call it out BIG. So here’s what I want to say to those of you that are teaching other people how to make money when you make jack shit yourself: STOP IT. Because we KNOW. It’s so EASY to see that you’re full of crap. You put a big, huge TARGET on your back. If I see you do it again, I WILL call you out publicly and shame you (you know who you are). Because as unethical as it is to teach something YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, it’s also just plain STUPID. I mean, why would you WANT to do that anyway? Is it because you think people will only hire you if what you’re teaching is “how to make money”? Because that’s crap. Just ask my friend Carrie, who signs on $7,500 VIP clients! Here is a bit of advice for those of you that believe in order to make money teaching people how to make money is the only way: DO WHAT YOU LOVE. TEACH WHAT YOU’RE GOOD AT! Even if it does come down to money, teach certain...
