Stop complaining that “nothing is working” when YOU are the one that isn’t working. Success? Guess what - comes from work. Comes from putting in the time, doing the actions, day after day, until they freakin’ STICK, and then on and on still. Money? You want money? Cool… so why aren’t you asking for it then? Why aren’t you showing up every day and asking for the sale, promoting your offers consistently, telling people HOW they can send you money? Why? Why are you so obsessed with having it all, but not obsessed with doing what’s necessary to HAVING it all? Guess what – Hate to break it to ya (not really), but you will never have it all until you decide you’ll settle for nothing less and then you - yes - DO THE DAMN THING. You work. You show up. You make it happen. You keep going, even when it feels like it’s not working, you press on. Because that big break you’re hoping for? Is right around the freakin’ corner. It’s right there. You’re so damn close. Don’t quit while you’re ahead. The reason you don’t yet have what you want is not because it’s unavailable for you, it’s because you haven’t decided that it’s FOR you, right now. Because let me tell ya – Once you commit to something there’s NOTHING you can’t achieve. The insipired ideas you wait around all day for? They won’t come until you first commit. To getting what you want. To having what you want. This is your freakin’ LIFE. Are you sure you wanna keep living it the way...

Let’s talk about something that most coaches don’t want you to know, are too embarassed to admit, and feel shame around. Sound good? Let’s go. I made a lot of money really quickly in my business. 6-figures in the first few months, and $250K in the first year. And while I celebrate the success that I had so early on, I also cringe. Because getting to that point was excruciating, and I was fucking miserable. Yep. I made $250,000 in my first year of business and I was miserable. Not only that, but I was also BROKE. I spent every cent that I earned on things I thought I needed to buy to make me look “legit” (like the business-class flights) and what I was told I needed to buy in order to feel good about myself (like the “expensive” clothes). For every dollar I received, I saved $0. For every dollar I received, I put aside $0 for taxes. For every dollar I received, I SPENT $1. Which meant, of course, that not only was I broke, I was also in debt. I was back in debt after being debt-free for years. And of course I couldn’t talk about it. I couldn’t ADMIT that I was in debt, because OMG WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK OF ME. I was terrified that no one would trust me or buy from me or want to work with me if they knew that I so poorly managed my finances. So I continued on, sharing my sales strategies and money hustle work.. all the while, feeling like a total fucking fraud. I knew...

Newsflash: I don’t hire mentors to learn things. It’s true. I don’t want to sound egotistical or anything, but I know my shit when it comes to business. I know how to launch and sell an offer. I know how to make money on repeat. I know how to attract badass, aligned clients. I know how to grow my FB following and email list. I know the things. I do the things. I reap the reward of doing the things. Yet, I still hire and work with private mentors and coaches. In fact, I don’t hire them because I can, I hire them because I simply MUST. It’s a non-negotiable. It doesn’t matter how much money I make or how successful I am, I must ALWAYS work with a mentor. Not because of what they can teach me, although I for sure learn a thing or two through working with them, but because of how I simply AM when I’m in their energy. Quite simply, being in the energy of someone who is at a higher level than you, or who has accomplished something that you want to accomplish, activates this part of you that lights a fire under your ass to make shit happen. I could be making $500 a month or $5 million a month, and I would still have a mentor, due to how quickly I’m able to shift to the next level through working with one (as opposed to doing everything myself). So no. I don’t hire mentors to learn things. I hire mentors because I want to know how THEY do life. I hire mentors...

I went to a Buddhist Monastery and Meditation Centre today. I didn’t know what to expect, just that I was meant to be there. And while I was there I had some of the most intense of emotions and feelings and revelations come up. There was something about the energy of the place - it brought up so much inside of me that I had been repressing. The monks were gracious enough to spend time with us and answer any questions we had. Of course I had many, but I just asked one: “How does one stay happy and positive when they are surrounded by negativity?” The answer, as simple as it was, shook me to my core: “Be the light.” This answer didn’t come from the monk himself (his answer was a bit more in depth), but I knew it’s what he meant. It confirmed a part of me that has been giving in to the negativity around me, allowing it, but wanting to redirect it. I’ve been allowing other people to gossip around me (even with me, oops). I’ve been allowing other people to talk negatively about things while in my presence. And I haven’t been standing up for myself and saying - no, that’s not okay. That’s not what I’m available for. And redirecting the conversation back to the light – Back to good. Back to happy. Back to exciting. Back to motivating. Back to inspiring. So I came home, got out my journal, and released. I called to the surface all of the things and people that have not been making me feel good, and...

About 6 or so years ago, we bought a house. Everyone told us not to buy it. It was way over our budget, and we couldn’t afford it, they said (because apparently they knew what our finances looked like - ha!). We stressed about it for days, but deep down we KNEW that this was meant to be our home. The money shit, though.. it was tough. It was hard to get over the cost. We truly DIDN’T have the money. Not without sacrificing something in order to be able to pay for it. We looked at the numbers. STARED at the number for a long time, trying to make something work, knowing we WOULD make something work.. because this was OUR house. We just knew it. Something made us say yes. It was a pull, a tug, a nudge from the universe to just do it, and everything would work itself out. It was a big leap - something a lot of people told us we were crazy to do. And we had NO idea how we were gonna pay for this house. But we trusted our gut and did what we knew was right (even if it looked all kinds of wrong on paper). After putting in our bid, we got a call from our agent who told us that the owners of the home rejected our offer. They were so offended by the amount of money we offered (which actually wasn’t far off from the asking price), they didn’t even come back to us with a counter offer. I cried. And then I got mad. Asked the...
