Take some freakin’ responsibility for yourself and your actions (or lack thereof). You KNOW you haven’t been doing the work that’s necessary. You’ve been holding off, waiting, slacking, and all out – Not giving it your all. You’ve been waiting for a sign, or a helping hand, something or SOMEONE to help you, but you know what? It’s not coming. They’re not coming. You have to do this on your own. This, meaning “going after your dreams and living your FUCK YES life“, of course. 🙂 You simply have to decide that you’re in it to win it, and act accordingly. Because I’m sorry to tell you, but – No one is coming to save you. You absolutely MUST do what it takes, which includes showing up, speaking your mind, creating and selling, working on your mindset, doing a full-out HUSTLE every day, and calling it in, repeatedly. If you asked me what I would do if I had to start a business all over again, it would be this: Decide what I want. Repeatedly ask for what I want. Show up DAILY and be visible. Grow my email list from DAY 1. Start a Facebook group and be super engaged with it. Write every single day. Communicate with my tribe constantly. Sell whatever I feel like selling (not what I think will make me money). Speak from the heart; unfiltered. Have daily brainstorming sessions. Hire a mentor straight away. Hire more mentors as I go (never stop learning). Hire a team (or at least an assistant) from the beginning. Read mindset books, watch videos, listen to audios… TRAIN MY BRAIN FOR...

I’ve felt resistance to sharing what I’m about to share for a long time now. I feel guilty. I feel like a fraud. I feel shame. I feel stupid. And yet I know, it needs to be said. Anything you keep inside yourself just builds and builds and builds and you get to the point where you just EXPLODE, and often not in a good way. I don’t want to explode. I’ve been exploding for years and it doesn’t make me feel very good. I made a commitment to myself this year that I would share what I needed to share instead of letting it build up inside. This is the kind of thing that has made me fall asleep crying. It’s stopped me from talking to people I want to talk it. It’s had me avoiding events and even PHONE CALLS with others that I don’t actually want to avoud. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to run away and hide. This the kind of thing that honestly (and I know this sounds really fucking ridiculous) just makes me want to quit everything. Drop it all. Forget it ever existed in the first place. I think to myself: “Who the hell do you think you are?” and “You’re doing it wrong!” and “No one likes you.” and “Everyone is talking shit about you behind your back.” And it keeps going – On and on and on and fucking hell, I just need to get it OUT. It’s been eating me alive for months now. I was triggered this morning by my friend Phillipa, when she...

Sometimes I know what I want to say. Most of the time I don’t. Because the actual truth is, I have SO MUCH to say. My head is filled to the brim with things I want to say to you, with new things being added all day long. Every time someone says something stupid, every time I witness a situation in the grocery store, every time I get a message from a client. I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL THE THINGS. I want to SHARE all the things. I want to help you with all the things. But – I don’t. Because if I did, I don’t think I would ever, EVER be done. And so I must stop myself and ask “do I really need to say this?” before I share anything. As if I didn’t, well.. Facebook might blacklist me for all the shit I’d be throwin’ down over there. The sad thing (or maybe a good thing?) is that I am triggered ALL THE TIME. Something can set me off and fuck up my whole day in an instant. I’ve had to work really damn hard on myself to get to the point I’m at now, where I’m only pissed off/annoyed/irritated AF for a few hours instead of all day long. I see lessons in every situation, both good and bad. I see lessons for everyone. I see lessons that I feel called to share. Because my mistakes are lessons for others. Mistakes made by others are lessons for me. And I’ve honestly felt some shame about the sheer lack of lessons I’ve shared with you. As...

One of the biggest life lessons I’ve ever had to learn is that time has a way of slipping from you pretty rapidly; always changing, always going in another direction, always slipping through your fingers… And there have been many times that I’ve been told I need to wait, I need to be patient, I need to “get ready” for the things I wanted in life. They told me to wait to have kids. They told me to wait to buy a house. They told me to wait to move again. They told me to wait to hire that new team member. They told me to wait to launch that offer. They told me to wait to buy that truck. It seems as though everywhere I turn, someone is telling me to – Relax Slow Down Wait Be Patient! But here’s the thing – Life waits for no one. Your dreams wait for no one. If you don’t go after them, someone else will, and you’ll miss out. I’ve learned that the longer I wait, the harder it is to achieve something. The longer I prepare, save up, get ready – Ultimately, the less I want it when I’m finally “able” to (at least, according to what everyone else thinks in terms of WHEN). Aren’t you tired of waiting? I mean, really… why the hell would you wait to have something that you could have now? Why would you deny yourself of that pleasure? Don’t you agree that that’s a big ridiculous.. waiting to have what you want, even though you could have and enjoy it now? Waiting is just a form...

It infuriates me to no end when someone complains they are broke, or don’t have “enough” money, because here’s the thing – You are choosing that as your reality. Whether you want to believe it or not, it’s true. You’re choosing to be broke and/or never having enough money to do what you want. And you don’t get to complain if you’re the one who chose the thing you’re complaining about. That’s just ridiculous and makes me want to smack you. 🙂 Listen, it’s as simple as this: There is no lack of money. Seriously. There is SO MUCH fucking money available to you. You’re simply choosing not to take it. I don’t know why, but you’re avoiding asking for, and then receiving, the money you desire. This is usually for one of these reasons: 1) You don’t know what you’d do with “that much” money. 2) You feel greedy/selfish, or you’re made to feel greedy/selfish from someone else, for wanting “that much” money. 3) You haven’t asked for it. 4) You don’t believe it’s possible for you. 5) You have negative thoughts/feelings about money (usually because of something that happened in your past). A lot of the time, you don’t even know that you’re rejecting money, but if you don’t have the money you want, that’s what’s happening. It’s not because you don’t know how to make money, it’s not because you aren’t good enough/worthy, it’s not because the universe is conspiring against you – It’s because you’re unintentionally turning money away. This is why it’s SO freaking important that you pay attention to how you act around money: in it’s...
