If you’re trying to make money online, and it’s just not flowing, look at how much you’ve been showing up. How many posts are you sharing on social media each week? How many emails are you sending? How many people are you having 1:1 conversations with? How many times are you showing up live? How many IG/FB stories are you doing? How many times are you asking for the sale? How much value are you sharing every day? How many trainings are you producing (free and paid ones)? Here’s the truth: In order to make money online, you need to show up online. In order to make CONSISTENT money online, you need to SHOW UP consistently online. That means being here. Sharing your message. Offering your products and services. Connecting and engaging with people. The more you show up, give value, and sell value, the more money you will make. It’s not difficult, but it does require commitment. It does require persistence. It does require you to do it, even when you don’t “feel like it”. Consistency leads to cash, sis. Don’t ever forget it. How are you choosing to show up...

You and I are a special breed of the human race. We’re NOT like most people. In fact, we are very VERY different from most, and if we’re being completely honest, we kind of ENJOY being so different! I was thinking about how I’ve called in very specific people to my tribe. People like you. People who are on the same wavelength and play at the same level as me. And I’m just so grateful to be surrounded by other people who just GET IT. Who just KNOW, deep within their soul that they have a fire that burns so powerfully inside of themselves and that NOTHING is gonna stop them from letting it burn. Until the day we DIE, we will let that fire burn! Because the burn is what we yearn for. The burn is what we want. That FIRE is our ultimate goal and keeping that fire going is the chase, and the hunt is what truly FUELS us. We don’t wake up and chase the money, we chase the FIRE. We chase the pleasure of feeling that fire burn inside of our souls. And nothing (NOTHING!) can even come close to exciting us more than that. Chasing the burn. You and I, we were not born to be wallflowers. We weren’t put on this earth to get a job, slog through the days, pay our bills, take 1 measly week vacation per year, and then die thinking about everything we DIDN’T get to do. No. None of that, thanks. That’s just not how we roll. We’re different. And we will do what we damn well...

“You’re crazy.” “Maybe if you were prettier, you’d be more successful.” “That’s not for people like us.” “People won’t pay for that.” “Why can’t you just be normal?” “You’re selfish.” “You’re delusional.” “You can’t do it that way.” “You swear too much.” “You have to be professional.” “You’re not funny.” “People are already doing that. Don’t bother.” Things people have said to me for the past 2 decades, as I built business after business, trying to find my place in the world. I’ve been verbally abused for years. I’ve had so much hatred thrown at me just because I don’t go with the flow and I do the things that make other people uncomfortable. The fact that I’m ME - and unfazed by how other people see me - believe it or not, has been my biggest hurdle in business. People not liking me or the way I do things is the norm and has been for years. But let me tell you - it’s the best fucking thing I’ve ever done. Being fully me, that is. Because me being me is what sets me apart from the other zombie-preneurs that like to follow the rules, connect all the dots just so perfectly and paint themselves as the perfect professional. A few months ago, with my clients at the Income Acceleration Mastermind, we talked about authenticity and why it’s so damn CRITICAL for success - how, without it, you’ll never be successful in a way that feels fun and joyful for you. Because sure – You can be successful by wearing a phony persona and being who you think...

Seven Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars In Cash $750,000 – In CASH. Not sales. But CASH. That’s how much I made in less than 2 years from my business. My “itty-bitty” little coaching business that “won’t go anywhere”, according to the many people I sought support from. $750,000 cash received. And the majority of that? Came from social media. Of course, there was some skill involved in making that amount of money in such a short period of time. I kind of needed to know about marketing and sales. Luckily I had over a decade of experience there. But other than knowing my shit about marketing & sales, I didn’t know much of anything in the “coaching world”. I didn’t know what an “ideal client avatar” was I didn’t know anything about the coaching industry I didn’t know how to sell CONSISTENTLY I didn’t know how to write (or so I thought) I didn’t know how to stand out in a crowded space But what I did know? Social media. I KNOW how powerful it is I KNOW how huge it is I KNOW how much of an impact it can have I KNOW that it can, in all seriousness, change your life forever In my last online business, I grew my Facebook page to over 40,000 likes, with minimal advertising. I grew my Facebook Group to over 20,000 with a tiny little link on my website. I grew my Twitter account to over 5,000 followers with ZERO promotion! And the bulk of the money I made from that business came from – You guessed it – Those social...

Writing what you think and thinking how you write and feeling how you feel and doing what you feel – It’s all part of showing up It’s all part of your message Getting up, writing, sharing, BEING YOU – It’s all part of your message What you’re thinking about right now, what you really want to say, but have been shy about speaking about, THAT is what you really need to say. Listen, people aren’t expecting you to be perfect. They don’t expect you to have your shit together all the time. They don’t expect you to never make mistakes. They don’t expect you to never have a bad day. But they do expect you to show up and SAY SOMETHING. Every day. Because what you have to say, they need to hear right in that moment. Even if it seems insignificant to you, it’s significant to them. That voice inside your head right now is leading the way. Pay attention. It’s trying to take you down the path you’re supposed to go. Stop fighting it. When I tell people they need to show up and share their message all day, every day, they don’t know what that means. And when they do finally get the picture, they still fuck it up because they try to make the message come across “just right”. They don’t just speak what is SPOKEN to them in their mind. When I show up every day and write, like I am doing right now, I don’t have a plan. I don’t know what is going to come out. I just write. Sometimes it takes...
