For some reason, I get an incredible rush and feeling of joy when I find out that I’m the first customer at Starbucks.I usually come a few days during the week, while the kids are at school and I just wanna be out of the house and around other humans (so long as they don’t try to TALK to me or anything).I get extra excited when I can come in the morning on a Saturday, ’cause the hustle don’t stop, and working from home, even if everyone else is still asleep, is a challenge with the distractions and the strong desire to go back into bed where it’s warm and cozy.So here I am, doing my thang, writing and creating and unleashing, while I play hip hop before 7am, loudly in my headphones, and the world buzzes around me.Most people are scrolling on their phones. Some people are reading the newspaper. I’m click click clicking away on my laptop and shooting 15-second videos for IG stories.And we’re all doing what the flow guides us to do.I’ve never had a desire to live a “regular” life, where Monday-Friday, 9-5, I go to my JOB, and then on the weekend I’m “free” and sleep in, watch TV, go shooping, and then do it all over again when the next week begins.I much prefer the lifestyle of the “always on”, the vibe of the entrepreneur has always run deep in my soul and from a very young age, I knew this was my soul path.Even when I was really young, I knew that I was going to be working for myself, running...

If there’s one thing I never quite understood years ago, when beginning my businesses, was how to surrender. I let the doubts and the fears take over and lead me down whatever path it chose (which was often not one that worked out well for me).I did all the things the “experts” told me to do to be successful.I did webinars. I chased down potential clients constantly.I went to networking events. I invested in mentors. I did free challenges. I hosted livestreams.I charged super low prices. … I did all the things. And sure, some of them worked in the short-term, but never for very long, if at all. I always felt myself back at that point again - you know the one of feeling just so overwhelmed and frustrated with it all?There were many times I wanted to quit. To go and get a “regular” job that was more stable (LOL to that belief!).I had so many days that were filled to the brim with a bunch of shit I didn’t want to do, but did because I thought I was supposed to. Every night I went to bed exhausted, and often not much further ahead than I was the day before. Eventually I called in sick on the STUFF.I said “fuck this shit, I’m not doing it”, and I didn’t do a damn thing on my to-do list that didn’t feel fun and exciting. There were 2 things left: “write something” and “sell ______” (whatever program I was selling at the time). And then I did a bunch of other stuff that I FELT like doing. Stuff that most people would see as a waste of time.I watched TV...

The doubts, the fears, the insecurities… it’s all made up bullshit. Lies you’ve convinced yourself are truths because your head tells you so. But your head is a liar. Your head is too logical, to practical, too unavailable for dreams.Your gut, your SOUL is what you need to pay attention to. Your soul never lies. Your soul never tells you that you can’t. Your soul never tries to diminish your dreams.Every little setback, every bump in the road, everything you’ve encountered in your life up until this point, has happened because you expected it to. Because you decided it was what you were destined for. Because you let fear drive the car of your life. And it delivered all that you expected, and then some.It’s ALL in your head. All of it. Everything that’s keeping you stuck, can’t be fixed with another strategy or another step-by-step tutorial. You need to rewire your brain. You need to change the way you think. You need to be brave enough to say goodbye to who you are, so you can welcome in who you must BE in order to think differently, expect differently, RECEIVE differently. You’re scared no one will buy your program, so no sales come through. You’re worried that someone won’t like you, and then you see a post/comment about you, where some bitch is talkin’ smack. You’re afraid that you’re boring, or that your content sucks, or that you’re just not as good as so-and-so, and that is exactly your experience. HARSH TRUTH:The only one holding you back is you. The only person standing in the way of getting what you want, is yourself. Your thoughts & your beliefs are what got...

1. Stop giving a fuck about what someone else tells you that you should or shouldn’t do. What is your soul guiding you to do? Do THAT.2. Stop giving a fuck about haters who try and take you down. You’re a motherfucking warrior and those bitches are just jealous. 🙂 3. Stop giving a fuck about what that person is selling and this person is charging.. about anything.. let them do them and you do YOU. Trust your gut.4. Stop giving a fuck about the naysayers who try to convince you that your dreams are too big. Just because tthey don’t know how to dream big, doesn’t mean you need to stop doing it just to meet them at their level. 5. Stop giving a fuck about your debt. Seriously. You’re focusing on it, which is giving it power, which is why you still HAVE IT. Give a fuck about wealth. Focus on THAT.6. Stop giving a fuck about time. Time is an illusion. It’s totally made up. And it’s messing with your head by stressing out about a lack of it (there’s no such thing). It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how much time has passed, you can do ANYTHING. 7. Stop giving a fuck about things that aren’t important. Like making your website look professional. Or editing your sales page 745 times until it’s “perfect”. What IS important? Doing your mindset work, wealth creation & growth, engaging with your tribe, creating content, sales activity, having FUN.8. Stop giving a fuck about webinars, or livestreams, or anything else that feels like a FUCK NO to you. Give a fuck about...

Recently someone asked me if there was something I’d created in my life that I felt was “too easy”, and right away I knew the answer, because I’d been feeling into it over the past few weeks in my journaling. “Yes”, I said. “Getting paid just to exist, basically.”Even though I’m GRATEFUL that all I have to do each day is whatever the fuck I WANT, and money flows into my life, there is still a part of me that somewhat feels guilty about it. So many people work so damn hard, doing work they don’t truly love, just to put food on the table for their families.. and they don’t even make THAT much money, even if they’re working more than the typical 8-hours/day…And all I’m doing is opening my mouth, and then people give me money? Really? NOT FAIR!Or at least, that’s what my mind was trying to tell me. I just now, this morning, have shifted that belief because I know that by living this way, and experiencing this kind of freedom, I’m showing others what’s possible for THEM.I’m proving to them that they don’t need to spend another second at a shitty job they hate, doing work they dread doing. By doing what I do, I am paving the path that is unknown to most. I am lighting up the darkness that they’ve been afraid to step into. I am showing them - I am leading by EXAMPLE - how to live a life they love, on THEIR terms. That is something to be proud of.That’s a REAL gift.That’s what people will learn the most from & change their...
