It’s always been interesting to me, the idea of “boredom”. How does one get bored, exactly? How is it even possible to BE bored? The only way you can really be BORED is if you don’t actually love what you do, and if that’s the case, well.. that’s a while ‘nother problem! Whenever I meet someone for the first time, particularly if they’re not an entrpreneur, they ask me what I do (why is this always a conversation starter?!), and I tell them, they almost often ask “don’t you ever get bored?” – And I just don’t know what to say, because.. No. No, I don’t get bored. Sometimes I feel tired, or overwhelmed, or confused, but bored? Nah. I used to get bored - back when I was teaching stay-at-home moms how to make money blogging. I knew how to do that (had done it for years at that point), but teaching it made me wanna stab myself in the eye with a very dull pencil. It felt like torture. I was “bored” all the time. And when I say bored, I actually just mean out of alignment, because that’s what boredom actually is - a lack of doing what feels good for your soul.If you’re feeling the feelings of boredom, I would tune in and ask yourself if you’re spending your time on the things that actually matter to you – Because if you are, then what you’re feeling is not boredom, but lack of alignment. Do the inner work and investigate to see what exactly it is that isn’t in alignment for you - and then fix that shit STAT.The truth is, I work all the...

Share what’s on your heart.Tell people what’s going on in your life.Talk about an experience that changed you.Let people know what drives you absolutely crazy.Give people advice on something you know a lot about.Tell people what you ACTUALLY think.Talk about why what others are teaching is actually WRONG.Be controversial AF when necessary.Share what you REALLY think.Document your days and share them with people.Leave love notes for your ideal clients to stumble upon.Be who you REALLY are, no holds barred. Do not, I repeat, do not pretend to be who you think you’re “supposed to” be or say what you’re “supposed to” say.Share your love.People like to be loved.They also like to be inspired, and motivated, and encouraged, and cheered on.When you show up and you GIVE with your whole heart, and share from the depths of your soul, you attract an audience of raving fans who buy all your shit and tell everyone they know about you.And they’re also pretty freakin’ cool, just like you, and people you actually enjoy talking to/working with/supporting/hanging out with in person!How you create content is you open up your mouth and say what you feel called to say in each moment.Your thoughts. Your beliefs. Your opinions. Your experiences.ALL CONTENT. All valuable.Don’t be afraid to share. You are so wanted and your voice is so needed in this...

Let’s be honest. There are some people who just ain’t cut out for a life of entrepreneurship. It’s played up as a luxurious type of “job” to have, where the perks are a’plenty, and while that’s certainly TRUE, what is often left out of the picture is this: Years of constant hustle, where you feel like you’re always “on” while building up your business. Months of preparation that lead to failure in regards to a project or idea. Family and friends that repeatedly call you crazy, unrealistic, irresponsible, for dreaming as big as you do. Tens of thousands of dollars spent (if not MORE) on learning from the best (or as close to the best as you can find). People who doubt you, who talk mad shit behind your back, and who laugh when you tell then what you dream to do. Feeling alone more times than not; like you’re a constant loner and doubting the ease in which you can make friends (friends? who has time for friends?).Sacrificing something you don’t wanna sacrifice (a clean house, money, time, sleep, getting dressed) for the benefit of working on your business. When you look at a successful entrepreneur, you see the outside, world-friendly version of that person. You see the money, the freedom, the people they’ve hired, the stuff they’ve bought, the trips they’ve taken… you see the Instagram Entrepreneur. What you don’t see is the sleepless nights, where we can’t get a single solid hour of sleep without worrying about WTF we’re gonna do about whatever problem we’re dealing with at the moment, or because the passion is so damn strong that you MUST. TAKE. ACTION. NOW. What you...

Have you allowed yourself to REALLY ask for what you want?I mean, really, truly, gone within and asked yourself for complete clarity on exactly what you want.Whether it’s money stuff, body stuff, relationship stuff, lifestyle stuff, or something else? Exactly what is it? Get clear. Crystal fucking clear. The universe loves specificity. Think colours, numbers, sizes, locations, people, experiences… all of it. I think back to when I manifested my first big thing - my Cadillac Escalade. Dream car for over a decade. Manifested back in 2015 (in just a few months). How? I got specific. No older than 2013. Black for sure. Interior and exterior. A certain number of kilometres or less (I forget the exact number). Pristine condition. Under $100K. I would point them out when I saw them on the road and feel all the feel-good feelings I know I would feel if I was driving one. If I saw one in a parking lot, I would make sure no one was inside, and then I would raun my hand along the side of it and stare at it with awe (LOL!). I looked up deals online. I pictured myself driving it. I sometimes pretended the mom van I was driving, was actually an Escalade, ha! And at my core, I knew it was mine. I knew it was DONE. I didn’t know when I would get it or how I would get it, but I just knew it was done. I didn’t have to worry about it. And then it was mine. Just like that. Of course, the BELIEF that it was gonna happen was the main reason it happened, but the SPECIFICITY was a key componant...

This is going to be a brutally honest message to you today (when isn’t it??! ha!)..#1. You’re boring. You live a mediocre life (at best), and never share anything interesting. Therefore, no one finds you interesting, and no one is inspired by you and your life. BTW: No one likes to hang with or learn/buy from boring people.#2. You quit before you succeed. You give up way too easily; usually right around the time it gets really hard. You’re a quitter. And quitters never win (I mean.. duh).#3. You don’t invest in yourself. You try to do everything on your own to save money (which really just means to hoard your money because you’re afraid of being broke if you spend some of it… talk about scarcity mindset like WHOA), when what you need to do to get ahead is invest in a mentor that can shorten your learning curve and help you get results FASTER.#4. You are flaky as fuck. You’re here for a few days, then you disappear, then you’re back and “going all in!”, and then you’re gone. You’re inconsistent and that’s lame.#5. You have no story, no message, NOTHING to connect you with your audience. If people don’t know who you are, where you came from, and what you stand for (and against), they can’t form a connection with you. And if there’s no connection, they’re gone.#6. You never actually ask for the sale. I’m not sure how you expect money to come in if you’re not asking for it. Also: It’s not enough to ask once. You keep asking, repeatedly. You never stop asking,...
