I’ve always been a big believer that morning routines have the ability to radically change your life for the better. Each day, I’m up around 5am, if not earlier, and it’s my most favorite part of the day for a myriad of reasons. Not only is the world still quiet at 5am, meaning I have no distractions from other people trying to get my attention, but it’s also my most productive time, and when I have my best ideas. Quiet, alone time, early in the morning, is where ALL of my best ideas have come from (okay, so ocassionally they come while in the shower… but it’s quiet and I’m alone in there, so ya know..). I get more done in the first 3 hours of the day, before anyone is awake, than many people get done the entire day or even the entire WEEK. You don’t need to wake up at 5am. This is a time that works best for me at this season of my life. Figure out what time works best for you - when you can have a few hours alone, just for YOU, with zero distractions. The power of a morning routine is absolutely incredible. And most of us DO have one, but can I ask you something? Is your morning routine serving you? Is it enabling you to be productive on the things that are most important? Is it making you FEEL good? Is it allowing you to spend the time on things you enjoy and that bring you joy? Because if not, you’ve gotta shake things up. Your morning routine should be...

The truth is, when it really comes down to it and if you’re being REALLY honest – You just don’t wanna have to work hard to get what you want. Don’t get it twisted – You DO love the work, and you love DOING the work, and you want co CONTINUE to do so! But “working hard” according to the standards of others? Nahhhhh, no thanks. Hard pass. The mere thought of being glued to your laptop all day long, turning away friends & family because you’re “busy” – Gives you that anxious knot in your stomach, doesn’t it? Doesn’t feel good at all, right? I think this is a big reason why the normals just don’t get us. They see us work, work, workin’ what appears to be ALL of the time, but what they don’t realize is – We aren’t working. We’re LIVING. And we just so happen to get paid for it. The writingThe IG storiesThe emailsThe messagingThe audiosThe reading All “work” in the eyes of other. To us, though, we know that it’s not work at all, even though it does get us PAID. So why, then, does it always feel so damn HARD? What happened to EASE? What happened to things happening naturally and without much effort? Because you’re allowing the ideas of WORK, to affect you. Or should I say INFECT you. You’re gettin’ your HUSTLE on, and even though the hustle can feel like ease and flow and joy, it feels like WORK. Because those around you? Those in your circle? Decided long ago that “work” or “hustle” was a very dirty...

I woke up with the birds today, for the first time in a few days, and it has been glorious. To the right of me is a family of ducks swimming on by. In front of me is water and trees as far as the eye can see, and off in the distance, I can hear the Canadian Loon calling out.. and as I am taking it all in, I think to myself – This is abundance. This is what abundance looks like. This is what abundance feels like. This is the frequency to always tune into. Yesterday we were sitting out on the roof-top patio, looking out at all of the beauty of Muskoka, casually talking about how nice it is here, how big the cottages are, and all the water toys people get to enjoy, and my MIL says “yeah, must be nice”… Which reminds me – The majority still tends to think that it’s impossible to make a lot of money and to buy and do and experience all the things that you find pleasing. So I roll my eyes, then I close ’em and start speaking abundance affirmations to myself, in my head, to shake off her negative money comment, and tune in to the feelings I want to feel when I think about abundance. Me? I choose to believe that money is always available. I choose to believe that money is always available for ANYONE who desires it. I choose to believe that surrounding myself with wealthy people, in wealthy locations, makes me wealthier. I choose to believe that I can be, do and...

There are many things that will change when you get closer and closer to massive success in your business and life. This is often the moment when people freak out, back away from that oncoming success, and change up their game – Because most people are terrified of change. Maybe you, too? But change is a part of the process. How can you expect to elevate your life, make more money, have more amazing experiences, and be in a high-vibe flow all of the time, if you’re staying in the same place, refusing to change? Change is required. If this freaks you out, you’re not going to experience a high level of success. Entrepreneurship is the roller coaster of a lifetime and it’s a roller coaster you NEVER GET OFF. It just continues to change course and freak you out repeatedly as you go over yet another steep hill and scream wildly on your way down. That means that change is scary (if you didn’t already know, ha!). One thing I’ve had to come to accept on the path to freedom and abundance (my main life intentions), is that the more successful I become, the less friends I have, and as your successes start to pile up, you’ll likely notice the same. Your current friends will complain that “you’ve changed” (yeah, no shit - that was intentional!) or that you act as though you’re “too good” for them or that they just don’t “get” you. And they will start to fall away. Not because you’re not a good friend or even that THEY aren’t a good friend – But...

When I first started in the coaching industry back in 2015, I was a complete nobody. Sure, I’d been around online for many years, but in a completely different (complete opposite, actually!) industry. So in this world, noone knew who I was, and I didn’t know who anyone was either. But! I quickly scaled my business. I went from $0 to $250K cash received that first year, multiple thousands of followers, and was recognized as a leader within the first few months of being on the scene. It wasn’t luck (luck is for suckers). It was cold, hard STRATEGY mixed with a relentless desire to succeed (and the willingness to do what it took to get there, no matter what). A bunch of the things I did to try and blow up fast, exploded in my face. A lot of things didn’t work at all. But there were definitely things I stumbled upon that worked very, VERY well. These are those things. If I were you, I’d give ’em a go. 1. Be where the other leaders are. In order to be known, you’ve gotta be around other people who are already known - people who are similar to you and have a similar audience that you’d like to have. Be in their communities. Be active there. Engage with other people. Answer their questions - be OVERLY HELPFUL. Show that you know your shit. Give massive value to everyone. Do NOT sell. Eventually, if you give enough value and people see you as someone they want to learn more from, they’ll come and follow you. (Always sell in your...
