Ok.. time for some tough love, but also a dose of HOPE for ya, if you’ve been struggling to be wealthy AF and make the money you want. If you desire to be wealthy (I’m talking about with MONEY in this case, but of course you can be wealthy in other areas of your life, let’s just be clear about that), you need to have one thing – The most important thing – A STEAMY HOT, ROMANTIC, BLOW YOUR-MIND-AMAZING, RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MONEY. Yep. I said it. You need to DATE your money. Make it feel loved and appreciated by you. Only then will you feel loved and appreciated by money. (Meaning, of course, you’ll start receiving more of it, start KEEPING more of it, start feeling GOOD and safe and worthy of it.) I don’t mean to take one day a week and sneak a peek at your income/expenses and pay some bills. I’m talking - look at your money every damn day. Give it attention and it will give you attention. Some days there won’t be much to do, but there’s always SOMETHING to do. ALWAYS. The reason it’s so important to look at your money daily, is so that you are aware of it. So you know what’s going on, where you stand, what you’re still working toward. If you’re not aware, you’re just running about, doing who knows what for who knows what reason. You’re flailing about, trying anything and everything to make that cash. And it just ain’t working, is it? You just can’t seem to translate your content/messaging into sales? Not consistently, anyway,...

Every once in awhile I get this feeling of “I don’t wanna” when it comes to being consistent and doing the work, and I often almost convince myself that it’s probably a good thing if I take a “day off” and do something other than THE WORK. Some days the work feels HARD. Some days the work feels ANNOYING. Some days the work feels POINTLESS. And some days I really, truly do believe that I should NOT do the work. My reasoning always seems justified. Except – I want the results. And so I have a little meltdown, kick and scream for a bit, and then – I GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT. I don’t mean this to say that I force myself to do shit I hate, because that would be inaccurate. I ADORE what I do. But sometimes I’m lazy and just don’t feel like it. Not feeling like it isn’t an excuse and it’s definitely not a reason to not show up and do the work I’ve been consistent with for so long. The funny thing is – The more I do the work, the more I love the work. And in those moments when I DO say “fuck it” and ignore the work, I feel like crap. Not in a guilty kinda way (although maybe a tiny bit), but moreso in a way of actually wanting to do it. Deep down, I ALWAYS wanna do the work. I just don’t wanna be told what to do - even by myself. I know you feel me on that, haha! I always find it interesting...

So people don’t agree with you - so what? So they look at you and complain about how you said something, why you said something, or the thing you said itself wasn’t good enough for them. It was mean. It was boring. It was annoying. It made no sense. It wasn’t funny. What The Fuck Ever So people talk crap about you behind your back - so what? So people told someone else that you were a bad business woman, bad coach, bad PERSON - so what? So people gave you the angry face on your latest Facebook post… LOL - so what? So people said mean things about you - so what? Are you gonna let them stop you? Are you gonna back off what you came here to do, because your feelings got a little hurt? Are you gonna allow the thoughts and opinions of others slow you down, or knock you off course? One hard truth you need to understand is that with success comes ridicule. The more successful you are, the more haters will pop up and try to run you down. Good news though! You don’t have to give a fuck. You don’t have to pay any attention to anyone you don’t wanna pay attention to - and the best people to ignore are the people that try to tear you down. In fact, the more attention you give to those who are so AGAINST you, what you stand for, what you believe, the more you’re letting them win. And the more you’re allowing yourself to be pushed around. Why are you standing for that shit?...

Im sitting in a Starbucks right now; I drove here after being disturbed during journaling more times than one at home. I need my alone time when I’m journaling - I need you to not look at or talk to me, and I definitely don’t need to have you constantly asking me what you can eat for breakfast. Sigh. Kids. I thought they were supposed to be independent at this age. You mean I still have to make them breakfast? And more importantly: Why aren’t they sleeping in on a weekend? Anyway. I came to Starbucks, and I came to this one in particular because i’s the VIP of all Starbucks. There is only one Starbucks Reserve in my area, and even though it’s a bit out of the way, and there are other places closer to me, I always come here because of the vibe. When you go to Starbucks, you order what you want, and then you either go and sit down, or you get your order to go. Here, it’s as though you’re visiting someone’s home. Someone that treats you like family, but that leaves you alone when you are clearly in the zone. They are always coming around with free snacks (which I have to politely decline due to my desire to not consume animals, but I still appreciate the thought). They are always smiling - seriously ALWAYS smiling - everyone. They all yell “welcome!” and “good morning!” when people walk in and “thank you!” and “have a great day!” when people walk out. I feel like I’m visiting a bunch of my friends every time...

Time is slipping away. Responsibilities piling up. As soon as there’s a moment to breathe, the urge to go - to move - to push - comes full force. A mad love affair with the hustle. I choose her over everyone - even myself. All of the things left undone are haunting me and pulling me deeper.. back into the black hole of.. Who knows? But it’s cold and dark and damp down there, and it’s my least favorite place to be. Please don’t send me back there. When does the silence finally break? When do the words finally flow? When is the next step finally revealed? When? When? I’m addicted to the rush, addicted to the feeling of ripping my heart from my chest and leaving it beating on the table in front of you. Can’t get enough of the vulnerability of the human race.. tell me how it hurts, how you’re fucking things up.. Tell me so I can discover that, yes, we’re all constantly smashed into a million pieces, just trying to glue ourselves back together. I’m a mess. I’m a mess. I’m a mess. The chaos is my every day, the turning of the tides is always, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. What’s next? Where do we go from here? Let’s dance. Let’s go through and experience this magical gift of life and let’s do it our way. Let’s rise together, blemishes and all, let’s not be afraid to share our weird AF personality, let’s proudly wear our CRAZY, and let’s rule this fucking world. I love you...
