![YOU CAN’T MOVE FORWARD WHILE FOCUSING ON THE PAST]()

The more time you spend focusing on all the shit that went wrong in the past, the more time you waste – Time that could be used to move you forward. Time that could be getting you further and further ahead – Closer to your goals. Staying stuck in the past is a DISEASE, friend. Wallowing in your misery is a choice. Being angry with yourself for not doing something, or for making a “mistake”, or anything else – Is not helping you.In fact, it’s hurting you.You’ll never be able to hit those goals, and live those dreams by thinking back on all of the things that happened in your past that affected you in a negative way.The past is the past is the past is the PAST.Leave it where it belongs - behind you.Everything you’ve doneEverything you’ve gone throughEverything you’ve overcomeIs what will lead you to where you want to go, but only if you allow it to live in the past while you move forward. Don’t look over your shoulder. Eyes focused on the road ahead - that’s where you’re going.What you want is possible for you, but if you wondering why you still don’t have it, even though you’ve been busting your ass working toward it for AGES now, it’s because you’ve lost your focus.You’ve drifted off your path forward and started back-stepping.Today (and every day) your task is simple:Where do you want to go? Focus on the that. Chin up, feet moving forward, let’s...

I love doing the “work”. The practical stuff. I love writing, and putting out an offer, and posting a bunch of IG stories back to back.I love responding to emails and messages. I love digging into my business and re-organizing what needs it. I love tracking my income and expenses and doing all the money work I need to do. I love the planning of new content, new offers, new ideas, new everything (love planning! but honestly only follow through with maybe 1% of what I plan LOL).I love sitting in front of my laptop and engaging with people. I love whipping up a new opt-in.I love creating content for my paid programs. I LOVE DOING THE WORK.This has become a problem, as of late, though. Because the truth is….I think I’ve allowed myself to become addicted to the “busy work”.And as such, my business has not moved and grown as quickly as I’ve wanted it, too. (I’ve been focused a lot on my new tea business, so I know that has been a part of it, but that’s still not an excuse!)I KNOW that the busy work is the least important work.I KNOW that the work that actually allows you to grow and expand and travel to that NEXT LEVEL of wealth and abundance and FREEDOM? Is the INNER WORK.Is the reading.Is the learning.Is the implementing what is learned. Is the journaling.Is the meditating.Is the sitting around and doing FUCK ALL except having a conversation with the universe/god/spirit/whatever you wanna call it. I KNOW THIS. Yet, I’ve been pushing it to the back of my mind over the past few months. My brain has tricked me into believing that the...

This whole selling thang? It ain’t difficult. It’s simply an exchange of energy. They’re giving you money and you’re giving them something in return for that money - information, education, a product, whatever. And getting people to BUY, to say YES, to actually hand over the cash, is JUST as easy as DECIDING to RECEIVE said cash. But it can be EASIER - even moreso than NOW. You just need to know what to DO to get ’em saying YES! (This ain’t about manipulation or CONVINCING anyone to do something that isn’t right or in alignment for them. This is getting the RIGHT people to YES. The people who already ARE a yes, and just need you to remind them.)These are the things that get ’em saying “YES BITCH, TAKE MY MONEY!” on repeat: 1. ExcitementPeople buy what they’re excited about. If you aren’t excited about what you’re selling, we can TELL and then we aren’t excited about it either - which means no money for you.Show us how MOTHERFUCKING PUMPED UP you are about this offer! Tell us that you’re do giddy you’re gonna pee your pants. It makes us wanna pee our pants, too! (Not really, but you get my point.)Excitement is rule #1. Not excited about what you’re selling. Stop selling it. Immediately. And find something that actually excites the shit (erhm… pee?) outta you.2. ExclusivityIf I can get it 10 other places, why would I buy it from you? Other than the fact that it’s from YOU and your peeps wanna buy from you because they love you, why ELSE are they gonna say YES? This could be that it’s special content...

It triggers you when you hear other people proudly share how much money they make, doesn’t it?And it triggers you even MORE when those people are your very own clients, or people who got into the industry AFTER you. HOW DARE SHE?! Doesn’t she know I was here first???You WANT to be happy for them - because you know that if someone else has done it, that you can do it, too - but you’re not happy for them.You’re jealous. You recognize this feeling of jealousy right away, and instead of forgiving yourself for it, instead you BERATE yourself for feeling this way - even if only for a few seconds. Deep down, you ARE happy for these people, but at the same time, you just feel badly about yourself. Their success makes you feel less-than, doesn’t it?You feel like maybe you just suck at this stuff. Like maybe you shouldn’t even bother at all. You question why you even started in the first place. You feel as though it should have “worked” by now. You think about all the time you put into this, all the money you’ve invested in mentors + coaching + programs + courses, and you just feel….ASHAMED.You promised your husband it would have happened by now. That you’ve be hanging out on private jets and driving fancy cars and having millions in the bank… You’d be RICH by now! Or so, you thought. But you’re not rich. You’re not hanging out on private jets or driving fancy cars and there certainly aren’t millions in your bank account right now!And as you think about this, you just get angrier and angrier and also – Sadder and...

What you need to know:There is no “there”.There is no finish line to cross.You’re never, ever DONE.There is always more to do. More of what? More of the WORK? What kind of work? The work of being YOU, of course. The work of sharing your SOUL with the world. This is never-ending. This will consume you until the day you die. You will never be “finished”. There will always be more to say, more to do, more to create, more to sell, more to share.. It will go on and on and on forever. This is what it takes. This is what is REQUIRED of you. A commitment to the hustle. Now don’t go thinking I’m saying you need to be glued to your laptop all day, every day. That is just a small piece of the “work”. The work - the REAL work that actually matters and gets you RESULTS, is the work of letting your true self OUT.It’s sharing your thoughts.It’s reading books that elevate you. It’s conversations with people who inspire and motivate you. It’s watching movies and documentaries and videos that get you feeling GOOD.It’s writing up and selling it to people. It’s writing in your journal every morning. It’s dreaming and scheming and planning and deciding. It’s writing emails. It’s writing Facebook posts. It’s spending time alone with your thoughts.It’s nourishing your body and mind. The work is the work is the work and you best be DAMN WELL COMMITTED to doing it all day, every day, forever.Don’t run from the work. Don’t try to hide from it. Don’t be afraid of it. The work of being you is your most important job. And it’s what will get you PAID, in a...
