THE QUICKEST PATH TO SUCCESS IS FOLLOWING THE PATH THAT WAS PAVED BEFORE YOU

THE QUICKEST PATH TO SUCCESS IS FOLLOWING THE PATH THAT WAS PAVED BEFORE YOU

It takes a certain kind of person to be an entrepreneur. Someone who has guts. Someone who has no fear. Someone who thrives on the go, go, go and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. I’ve noticed that the people who are most successful, at least online, where I’ve had the opportunity to somewhat see them from afar for a few years, they went through shit to get where they are. They didn’t have it easy. Their success didn’t happen overnight. They worked their ass off, they had some wins and even bigger losses, but the one thing that they refused to do – The thing that most people DO actually end up doing – Is quit. No matter what life throws at them, they take it with a smile, and scream “is that all you’ve got?!!” And they KEEP. ON. GOING.There is no stopping the relentless entrepreneur. There is no stopping a woman on a mission.There is no stopping someone who’s passion is bigger than her excuses.Some people have legitimate excuses to quit. Phillipa, when her precious son passed away, is a good example of this. She had a VALID excuse to walk away, but that bitch is strong. And she knows what she was born to do. So even though the world handed her something horrendous, she go the fuck back up again and she KEPT. ON. GOING.Those with a fire in their soul, who know that they were born for something bigger than themselves, who cannot and WILL NOT be stopped – They are the ones you’ve gotta watch. Those are the people you want to be spending your time with. Learning from. Soaking up their...
CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER COUPON QUEEN

CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER COUPON QUEEN

I got into couponing about 11 years ago.I was in $20K of debt and after selling my company (that I didn’t want to sell) to pay the debt off, I started to take my money situation seriously so I never had to be in that situation ever again.I turned to couponing because it just seemed like the right solution to my problems of overspending.I started ordering coupons online, from eBay and other sources, started hunting them down in the stores, joined a bunch of couponing communities and I got to work.:: I saved THOUSANDS of dollars a month.:: I walked out of stores having them pay ME for my groceries. (Seriously.):: I had multiple shelves FULL of products at home, many that I got for free.:: I became a leader in the couponing industry and was dubbed The Canadian Coupon Queen by many.:: I had not one, but TWO binders full of coupons and I took them with me everywhere I went.:: I became well-known at my local stores as the “crazy coupon lady” and half of the cashiers hated me and all the extra work they had to do when I pulled up to their till.And I’m not gonna lie, it was fun for awhile. Couponing became my DRUG. I got high all the time on that shit! I shopped all day long, and some times, in the middle of the night. Whenever was the best time to get a score.But there are some other things that happened in addition to getting the couponing HIGH –I ate like shitMy house was clean, but always smelled like chemicalsI would...

THIS IS HOW YOU GET PAID TO EXIST

One of my greatest joys in life is turning Internet Marketers into Intuituve Marketers.When I see someone transform from being a robopreneur, just going through the motions every day, following some kind of step-by-step SYSTEM that some “guru” taught them, into someone who gets paid just to EXIST – Well – I get pretty lit up. I mean, in a sense we’re ALL internet marketers. If you’re selling online, then essentially you’re an internet marketer. But there’s a difference between marketing online and doing it from a place of “I MUST!” markering online from a place of “I GET TO!”.Is there anything worse on earth than getting paid only when you follow some kind of PLAN?Ugh. Gross. No thanks. I wanna get paid just to exist. Which maybe makes me sound super egotisitcal and just a tad bit vain LOL, but this is what I desire. I desire to get paid just to be here in this world. I chose a long time ago that people would pay me just to be around me and in my energy. I chose that money would come in practically on auto-pilot, all day, every day, and all I had to do to “make” that money, was to wake up and share myself with the world.And then I did just that. I showed up. Day after day. And I just lived my life and shared it with the internet peeps. I didn’t care that people told me I was crazy. That I was “obsessed” with myself. That I was arrogant. That I was out of my mind. (It’s still funny to me when people ask me what I do for a living and...

THIS MIGHT STING A LITTLE…

I see you over there, trying so hard to figure it all out. You’re watching, taking notes, strategising, planning..You see all of this SUCCESS that others have and you want it, OMG so bad, you want to make that happen in your life, too!You journal about how awesome it would be, how you would feel, what you would do and see and experience.You get excited thinking about it. And sometimes you get to the point where you’re just so freakin’ on FIRE with excitement that you actually, you know, do something about it.Take action!Write stuff!Post it on the internet!Tell people about your stuff!Say something!Write some more! Send an email!And then you’re done. You feel so accomplished! You showed up today. You did the work.Except.. you didn’t.Not all of it, anyway.What you did was surface-level bullshit, if we’re being honest here. And that’s not gonna pay the bills. That’s not gonna get you to rich. That’s not gonna solve your problems.THAT’S NOT THE FUCKING ANSWER.Showing up is not showing up if it doesn’t get results.I mean REAL results. Ya know, money in the BANK. Testimonials flying at you for the work you did for someone. Clients and customers continuing to buy from you on repeat.If you don’t have THAT, then you’ve got nothing, friend.And it’s only gonna get worse. Rock bottom is coming. Again. Because you just don’t GET it.How many times do you plan to hit rock bottom before you finally claw your way up out of the gutter for GOOD?How many times does it need to hurt so bad you can barely breathe before you finally see that you...

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO “COACH SHOPPING”

You really want to hire a coach. You know that in order to get to your next level, you’re gonna need to be around someone who already IS where you wanna be. So you make the decision.“I’m hiring a coach!”, you proclaim excitedly. You feel that you are ready, you’ve got the money set aside (or you’re willing to put it on a credit card or invest in some other way), and you are eager to make the leap from treating your business like a hobby to treating your business like a COMPANY that makes money.I mean, let’s face it, you’ve kinda been acting like a freelancer instead of a CEO leader, haven’t you?But you’re DONE messing around. You’re done playing. You’re ready for more, now.So out you go, to hire someone to show you how to evolve into that next-level version of you, now. Except, you make one crucial mistake.You don’t hire the perfect coach. You go coach shopping, which basically means you send a message to a bunch of different coaches that you kinda sorta resonate with, and see which one comes back with the best response. This seems like a smart idea. Many people will likely tell you it IS a good idea.These are often people who have hired a coach in the past that wasn’t a good fit and so now they feel jaded toward all coaches. So they warn you: “Do your research!”“Get a bunch of quotes!”“Never go with the first coach that responds!”And now all of a sudden you have a bunch of responses from a bunch of coaches who are ready to take you on as a client...
