Listen up. This is big.Do you want to know a secret about money?One that ALL of the wealthiest people in the world know to be true but everyone else is clueless about?THE MORE YOU FOCUS ON MONEY, THE MORE YOUR MONEY WILL GROW.You heard me right: focus on money and money will focus on you.It doesn’t matter how far in debt you are, it doesn’t matter how much your expenses are right now, it doesn’t matter how big of a hole you feel you need to dig yourself out of –You CAN turn things around.But to do so, you MUST pay attention. Not to what you’re struggling with (debt, low income, etc.), but to what you WANT (abundance of money, freedom, etc.). I remember sticking my head in the sand around my debt situation years back and bitch and moan about how broke I was, but I was never able to change that until I actually pulled my head out of the sand and LOOKED at the numbers and made a decision that enough was enough. Things were gonna change, NOW.Yeah, it was scary. I couldn’t believe I’d accumulated as much debt as I did. I didn’t want to look at those numbers. I felt like I’d been punched in the stomach when I finally forced myself to add everything up.But it was worth it.Because then I KNEW. I just KNEW, okay, this is what it is. Now how am I going to do things differently so that it never happens again?And that’s when I changed my entire lifestyle, got into couponing, then extreme couponing, then frugal as fuck, and...

I’m upping my wealth game this year, and a big part of that is learning from those who are already uber wealthy. Books. Courses. Mentorship.Programs.And one thing that keeps coming up is the idea of not spending money on necessary shit. Agree. Totally on board with that. But what I’m hearing more and more is that one of the “worst things” people “waste” their money on is luxury vehicles. This is usually the first thing they suggest you cut. And every time, I make the most unflattering face when they mention it. I scowl. I mumble under my breath. I usually make a loud grunt of dissatisfaction.Because - no.Aquiring wealth doesn’t mean you strip yourself of everything that makes you feel like a wealthy person. FEELING wealthy is the #1 way to BECOMING wealthy. You don’t live like Scrooge, scrounging every last cent, to become wealthy. That’s the most ridiculous scarcity mindset kind of shit ever. Yes, you wanna get rid of expenses you don’t NEED (meaning they aren’t bringing you joy or making you money).But getting rid of your luxury car just because it depreciates in value the second you drive it off the lot? Is horseshit. HORSE.SHIT. My CAR, regardless of how much it costs me, is not going anywhere. My car brings me more joy than almost anything. I FEEL wealthy when I’m in it, when I drive it, even just when I LOOK at it. And feeling wealthy brings more money into my life.The wealthier you FEEL, the wealthier you ARE. Yes, I can “afford” it. I can also “afford” the $10K/month home we were living in, but we’re no longer in that home because IT DIDN’T...

It really doesn’t matter how much or how little you charge for something.That includes 1:1 mentoring, group programs, membership sites, done-for-you services, DIY courses, speaking engagements, in-person events –ANYTHING.The price you charge for your work is IRRELEVENT.What people are buying is YOU. And if they buy something you’re selling, it’s not the program or the offer that they bought, it’s YOU.They bought into who you are.They resonate with you, your message, your vibe. So the price means absolutely NOTHING.You could charge $25 for a call with you and someone will pay it. You could also charge $500 for a call with you and someone will pay it.I currently charge $1,000 and up for a 1:1 single call with me and people pay it regularly. Because they’ve already bought me, so they don’t CARE what the damn price is. They want ME and will pay whatever I charge to get me.You can sell anything at any price you want. And it WILL sell. People WILL buy.But only if they’ve already bought YOU.So the next step is this:Show up and show yourself off!Tell us your storyTell us what you’ve been throughTell us what you desireTell us what you believeTell us what you stand for Tell us what you’re AGAINSTTell us what pisses you offTell us what excites you and lights you upTell us how you run the dayTell us how you eat, how you sleep, how you work, how you playTELL US ABOUT YOU.And if you’re interesting, and we resonate, we’re gonna fall head over heels in love with you and we will throw our credit card at you every time you...

I used to think that setting monthly goals was enough.I’d happily sit down and write out my financial goal every month and would confidently proclaim –“This is now how much money I make every month!”But…Then I wouldn’t. Make that much money, I mean.It wasn’t because my goal was unreasonable. It wasn’t because it was out of reach. And it certainly wasn’t because I didn’t do the work.It was because I was focused on the MONTHLY goal, instead of the daily and weekly goals that needed to happen before the big monthly goal could be achieved.I often would set goals and at the end of week 1, be all “oh, I have tons of time, so it’s okay that I’m super far away from my goal!”.At the end of week 2 is when I’d start taking things more serious because “holy shit, it’s already the middle of the month and I am not even CLOSE to my goal!”.By the end of week 3, I’m having panic attacks and beating myself up about being a terrible business woman.And by the end of the month, not only habe I not reached my money goal, but I haven’t even REMOTELY come close to hitting it!…At least, that’s how things USED to be when it came to setting my money goals.At one point, I noticed this patten and decided to shake things up. I made a committment that I would do whatever was necessary to make money EVERY day, which meant it would be easier to hit my monthly goals (I also decided to set weekly goals, in addition to monthly and daily goals).From...

I’ve been annoyed lately. Mostly because I’ve been irritated and haven’t talked about it. Which is kinda my rule (if I think it, I need to say it).. 🙂 So. Today’s the day. Here’s what I need to say: The woman you follow on Facebook that is constantly sharing how much money she makes, posting pictures of her gorgeous view of the ocean (right from her bedroom window), showing off the new pair of $5,000 shoes she just bought yesterday…What she’s not telling you is that she’s stressed as fuck.She’s lonely and wishes she had more friends (or a partner) to share her amazing life with.What she’s not telling you is that she has a horrible relationship with her parents and always feels guilty about it. What you don’t see is how much she has to talk herself up before she does that new livestream she promised you, self-conscious beyond belief about the 5 extra pounds she’s gained in the past 2 months due to stress-eating.She gets hate mail every day and has people steal her work and sell it as their own, on the regular.What’s being left out of her messaging is that she’s freaking out about money, terrified that today is the day she finally goes off the deep end. What you don’t see, don’t know, don’t even REALIZE, is that even though it appears that she’s perfect and her life is perfect, you’re only hearing one part of the story. The part she wants you to see.You see the highlight reel. The perfect photos. The vacations. The fancy purses.And to be clear – There’s nothing wrong with someone showing the highlight reel of their life....
