As another $17,000 payment was deposited into my bank account just now, I realized something that I’ve never given much thought before: Money is not what I want. What I want, is the emotion of money, the value of money, what I can actually DO with money, the freedom that comes from having money. Money is not the goal. It is a means. But it is not THE goal. And I also realized that one of the main reasons I receive so much money each month, is because I don’t actually want it! I mean.. I do WANT it, but not for the sake of having a stack of bills and coins in my posession, but for the purpose of changing my life and the lives around me for the better. You know when you’re single and you’re trying to find a partner, it feels like the more you TRY, the harder it gets? And when you finally say “fuck it”, and stop trying to find someone, your perfect someone just shows up, seemingly out of nowhere? This is exactly how it works with money (and everything). The more you stop TRYING to receive money, the more easily money will FLOW to you. And it won’t feel hard at all. The only thing you will feel is EASE. I’m not saying to avoid setting money goals and asking for money, I’m saying to set the goal, ask for what you want, and then BACK THE FUCK AWAY. Because what typically happens when you set a goal (“I’m gonna receive $30,000 this month!”) your brain automatically asks “How?” and you start to...

It’s very easy for us to do what we do because A) we’re the best at it and B) we simply can’t NOT do it. It’s strange for us to witness other people doing the opposite of what we do, and it physically pains us to see someone suffering that doesn’t have to suffer by doing shit they don’t enjoy. It takes a lot of self-restraint to not shake some sense into these people. This morning I was thinking about how amazing you are. How I am so grateful, excited and truly HAPPY to have you in my life. That I can lead you down this path that you’re on. That I can share with you my experience, my mistakes, my big wins; so you can learn from it all. I am proud of how far you’ve come. Proud of ALL the progress you’ve made (I’ve noticed!). Proud of who you are becoming. This is an open letter to YOU, my rule-breakin’ badass boss – I just want you to know: You are doing an amazing job. People LOVE you and you’re helping them so much. You are changing the world with your words. You are magnetic in every way. You are needed and wanted. And everything you’re doing is the PERFECT thing to be doing right here, right now. Everything is working out exactly as it should for you. You can choose to speed things up, if you wish, but know that you don’t have to. You can continue exactly as you are and you will still see everything fall into place perfectly. Because you just KNOW. That’s...

I’ve noticed recently that I’ve been doing a lot of stuff that I don’t really want to do, because I felt like I needed to do it. Which I find frustrating, yet funny, because this is something I preach about all the freakin’ time – STOP DOING SHIT YOU HATE But clearly I’m not that great at taking my own advice because here I was, doing shit I hated. I was talking to people I couldn’t stand. I was saying things to make people feel better instead of saying things that they actually needed to hear. And I even felt a bit self-concious with YOU, thinking I needed to write a certain way, speak a certain way, be a certain way, otherwise you’d get bored with me and leave, and go follow someone else. Which is embarassing to even admit here, but it’s the truth. All to say – I’m human. I fuck up. All the time, do I fuck up! I’ve been feeling this feeling deep in my gut over the last few weeks that I needed to change my life in some ways. My energy was shifting. I was allowing in negativity. I was forcing myself to do things that I didn’t really want to be doing. I’ve been going against a lot of the shit that’s SO obvious. I’ve been flaking out on myself. I’ve been letting my desires slip. I’ve been slacking – Not in the work. Oh no, never the work. I ALWAYS show up and do the work. The emails The messages The calls The sales The offers The trainings The writing The...

Let go of your idea of perfect. Perfect doesn’t exist. Just start. Just go. Just leap! Your wings will appear before you hit the ground, as they always do. Think about the last time you leaped and took a risk on something. It all worked out the way it was supposed to, right? You didn’t die. You didn’t end up homeless. Your life wasn’t ruined. Your wings appear on the flight down. They can’t be created before you jump. Remember: The perfect you is the imperfect you. Perfection is scary to us, anyway. You seem fake. You seem like you’re trying WAY too hard. Trust me, we can tell that you are. And no one likes that. It’s a total turn-off. We will see your phony perfection and run in the other direction, FAR away from you. You need to be relatable if you ever want anyone to pay attention to, listen to, buy from, you. And your imperfections allow you to do that. 🙂 Seeking perfection stalls you – Holds you back – Pins you down. Allow the message to flow, as it must. Do the work which is inspired, not which you think is a “must”. Ignore any thought of how things “should” be, and instead focus on the thoughts of how you FEEL you must move forward. Your thought and feelings will lead the way, and they always lead you the right way, if you are following the flow. Trusting your GUT. Listening to and acting on your intuition. Step into the flow. Feel the flow. Embrace the flow. Look only for the flow and act...

Why is it that when you want something REALLY bad, you won’t allow yourself to have it, but when something unexpected and “bad” happens to you, you just accept it, harping on and on about how awful it is that you’re experiencing it? What if – Instead – You spent all of that time harping on and on about how awesome things are or are becoming? How amazing the weather is How the internet is so fast today How that stranger smiled at you and said hello How delicious your breakfast was How comfortable your bed feels Why not focus on the stuff that makes you happy and feel grateful than the stuff you cannot change? And why not – For the sake of believing in yourself and seeing yourself as worthy – You start embracing what it is that you want and running after it so fast you’d hurt yourself trying to slow down? Why not allow yourself to leap? Why not allow yourself to take big risks? Why not allow yourself to trust? Because let me tell you – Sitting there feeling sorry for yourself, wondering why oh why nothing ever seems to work out the way you want it to – Is only going to create stress, tension, and frustration in your life. What works? The stuff that actually makes a difference? What will, without a doubt, make you incredibly happy, rich, and high-vibe all the time? Is taking a gamble on YOU by putting yourself in situations that are scary and uncomfortable, but that you know are totally what you need. And wouldn’t you say...
