It’s a mighty sad thing when you see someone with so much potential fall off the wagon, again and again and again. When you know that they for CERTAIN have what it takes, but they just don’t ever give themselves full permission to be that person. There are countless people that I’ve spoken to over the years who fall into the category of “badass entrepreneur”, who have what it takes inside of them to make it BIG – But who fail to act accordingly and who, ultimately, fail. More than half of the people I used to converse with even just a year ago, have long since disappeared. Many have went off to get a “real” job because they just couldn’t hack it as a successful entrepreneur. Because let’s face it – If you’re an entrepreneur, you’re an entrepreneur. But just because you have the potential to do big things with your life, doesn’t mean you ever will. You can be a successful entrepreneur, or you can be an entrepreneur who just WANTS to be a successful entrepreneur, but who never actually IS. The difference between the two (other than the lack of success in one, of course), is that the successful entrepreneur is willing to do things that the unsuccessful entrepreneur is not. SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS WHO CONSISTENTLY RECEIVE A NEVER-ENDING FLOW OF MONEY AND WHO CHANGE THE WORLD? THEY DO THIS: 1) Back themselves. Repeatedly. They invest in themselves financially, over and over and over again. They hire mentors - the best of the best, too!, they hire assistants to help them get more done, faster, they hire...

It took me 12 years until I’d finally “made it” – Meaning, I was living an incredible life, making a lot of money, doing what I love. 12 years until I was what’s considered “successful”. This didn’t happen overnight. It took A LOT of hard fucking work. Don’t tell me I’m lucky or I just may throat punch you. There ain’t nothing lucky about my life or anything I’ve experienced. It took WORK. Discipline. Persistence. It took me hitting rock bottom (multiple times), so I could clearly see what I must do next. Making my first dollar online was like pulling teeth. Making my first thousand was the same. $10,000 $100,000 $1,000,000 PULLING TEETH. Every time. Not because making money itself is hard (it’s actually quite simple), but because every time you’re trying to go to a new level, there is a new hurdle you must overcome. And that hurdle is often your mind, getting used to this new version of yourself that you’re shifting into. And of course, you showing up as this new you, and doing the damn things required to make what you want a reality. Yep, you gotta put in time. Blood. Sweat. Tears. I worked my ass off to get where I am today. It did not come easy. I didn’t get anything handed to me. It was not “luck”. It was me, getting clear on what I wanted, and then going after that every single say, with fierce determination and a fuckload of courage. Now things FEEL easy, but when others try to do what I do, they often complain that it feels...

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to attract a swarm of perfectly aligned, soulmate clients, is to be willing to politely decline the interest of anyone who is not that. That means saying NO to the person who says they want to work with you or join your program, but who isn’t 100% the perfect fit. That means turning down money, over and over again, if you know the person offering it, is not in alignment with who your dreamy soulmate clients actually ARE. This is extremely difficult. On one hand, you want the money, right? Hard to pass up cold, hard cash when someone is wavin’ it in your face. And also, you don’t want to be “mean” and tell them “no, sorry, it’s not a good fit”. (I still feel bad saying no to people, but I would feel even worse saying yes to someone I don’t actually wanna say yes to, ya know?) Most people who are new in their business say yes to everyone who offers them cash. Been there, done that, hated it, vowed to never to it again. The problem with this is that when you say YES to someone who is not, in fact, a yes, then you’re aligning yourself with someone who you don’t actually enjoy working with – Can you help them to get the results they desire? Maybe. But do you actually WANT to work with them, spend time with them, talk to them? Do you actually BELIEVE in them? Do you really believe they have what it takes? If the answer is “no” or “not sure” to...

There’s nothing that has served me more in life than ensuring no matter what, no matter what I’m told or what sometimes I even FEEL inside, that I always, ALWAYS bet on me. All of the “stupid” ideas. All of the “far-fetched” goals and dreams. I choose those and I choose to back myself and do whatever is required to make them happen. That will mean BLEEDING FOR THE DESIRES. That will mean GIVING YOUR LIFE FOR THE DESIRES. And without a doubt, that will mean IGNORING THE WORLD WHILE YOU GO GET ‘EM. The world who doesn’t get you, doesn’t trust you, doesn’t believe you, doesn’t support you. Let. Them. GOOOOO. And turn back to yourself. Give yourself all the damn credit for getting this far. Allow yourself to soak up the support from whoever will give it to you, but mostly, from yourself. Because in the end, no one wants for you, what YOU want for you, more than YOU. This means, of course, that you will need to do whatever is required of you to BACK YO’ DAMN SELF. It will require you to TRUST. Massive, massive amounts of trust. You will spend time (so much time!)You will spend money (so much money!)You will spend energy (so much energy!) And IT WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH IT. I’ve had many, MANY, moments where not a single person in my life believed in me when I told them my goal. They didn’t support me. They called me crazy, selfish, and often times “delusional”. They went out of their way to NOT cheer me on. I’m sure that many...

You will be tested more times than you can possibly imagine as you’re building your business and creating your ideal dream life. There will be many, MANY hardships you will have to endure. Many lessons you MUST learn (and so, will have to stumble and fuck up a few times to learn ’em). Quite a few sacrifices that you have no choice but to make. You will have the majority of people in your life doubting you, warning you, trying to STOP you from doing what you wanna do - and many of these people, if not all, will be those closest to you. Parents. Siblings. Spouses. Children. And if you’re strong enough, if you’re BRAVE enough, you’ll keep going, regardless. You’ll work your damn ass off for weeks, for months, for years. There will be much frustration along the way. There will be quite a lot of “what the fuck am I doing?” thoughts running through your mind, and there will also be, of course, a big ol’ handful (or two) of failures. You’ll be on top of the world one day, feeling all kinds of ambition and “I’ve got this!” and like you’re about to lose it all and living on the streets just 24 hours later. People will criticise your work - especially that which you’re most proud of. You will heard “no” from so many potential clients, you’ll eventually lose count. You’ll be broke for a long time. (Not because it’s required, but because you haven’t yet learned how to stay in wealth mode consistently, and you’re too damn stubborn to get the help you...
