It’s amazing how those moments in life that ended up being the BEST times are the ones that we were somewhat resistant to get involved with in the first place, due to fear. I always find it funny how the things that have the biggest impact on my life, are the biggest deal, give me the greatest impact and joy, are the things that at one point scared the living crap out of me. Like that time I jumped into the lake without knowing how to swim and trusting I would “figure it out” (I didn’t, but it was still fun - so much so that I ended up doing it all week long). Like that time I put $6,000 on a credit card, $6,000 that I didn’t actually have, and trusted a complete stranger to help me get my coaching business off the ground. Like that time I bought my first house and put 20% down, when the average down-payment was only 5%. Like that time I hired my incredible assistant and trusted her with my information, my money, my company, and trusted that she had the best intentions. Like that time I hosted my very first in-person event and felt like I was going to puke all day long due to nerves. Like that time I launched my $30,000 mentorship program (and then immediately signed on a new client with ease). Like that time I invested over $20,000 in a new coach without knowing much about her, just trusting my gut that she was “the one”. All of those scary moments ended up being the BEST moments in...

There are a lot of people that can teach you how to create and run a business. There are tons of people who will gladly show you how to make more money. But what there are very few of? People who aren’t fucking FOLLOWERS and who just do whatever the hell they want. Meaning – They don’t follow the crowd They don’t do what others are doing They don’t take advice from people who are clearly fake as fuck I see SO many posts from people on social media and in my inbox that make me want to scream. Those people just sound so ridiculously F-A-K-E. Like they’re sucking up to me to get me to buy whatever it is they’re selling. They’re robots. They’ve clearly all taken the same program by the same person (you know who I’m talking about), and they’re all doing the same damn shit. Don’t they know we can tell? Don’t they understand that it’s so OBVIOUS they are just copying the same strategy that worked for one person and trying to do it themselves to make money, too? OMG, how embarassing!! Don’t they know that they sound ridiculous? Don’t they get how dumb they look? Is it just me that’s bothered by this? It’s so CLEARLY obvious they’ve all gone through the same program because they’re all talking the same way, they’re all doing their video series’, they’re all doing 4-6 week launches with X number of sales/value emails. They’re all hosting live Q&A calls. They’re all doing challenges. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. Don’t they get that this will never work for...

You can’t just say you want something and expect to get it if you’re not willing to do what’s necessary for it to become yours. Believing you can have it is not enough Asking for it constantly is not enough Hoping for it is not enough Praying for it is not enough Journaling about it is not enough You need one thing – One thing that will make the difference between having it and not – That one thing is: HUSTLE. ACTION. It amazes me how many times I’ll talk to my awesome clients about what they want and then within weeks, or even days, they HAVE it. But then I see other people online struggling to sell a $97 workshop. What gives? Here’s what: ACTION. Or, lack of it, really. If you’re not putting in action, you’re not getting results. And if you ARE getting results, and you’re just not getting the results you WANT, then you need to UP the amount of action you’re taking every day. Put in the hours. The minutes. The seconds. PUT IN THE WORK. Nothing works unless YOU do the work. I was interviewed for a podcast the other day and they asked me what I thought it was that allowed me to create over $750,000 in cash in under 2 years. What was that one thing I did differently than most others? I answered: “I simply took more action.” I just did more work. I worked my freakin’ ASS off. Every day – I spent hours creating content I spent hours working on my mindset I spent hours selling my offers...

We all want more visibility. The more visible you are, the more people you can share your message with, the more people you can help, the more money you can make. So it astounds me when people don’t put more effort into becoming more visible. If you’re not visible, you’re wasting your time. It’s as simple as that. You won’t be able to have the same impact without massive visibility! It’s a MUST. And I know you want to make an impact. You want to help people, yes? You want to make more money, correct? So why aren’t you making visibility a priority? Not just as a “nice to do”, but as a MUST DO, every day? If you want to stand out and be noticed so you can impact more people and make more money, be different and do things that are different from what others are doing. Don’t fake anything, but don’t try to hide who you really are, either. Trust me, that’s no fun and it doesn’t do what you think it will. I used to hide all of the tattoos on my body. I used to lie about what I liked and disliked so I would fit in. I used to bit my tongue instead of speaking my mind. I used to wear clothes that were more “my age”. I used to pretend I enjoyed small talk with anyone. I faked it all the time because I wanted to be liked and I wanted to fit in with everyone. I never truly was liked (not the real me, anyway), and I never did end up...

I was journaling this morning about everything I’m grateful for right now and one thing I noticed was that almost every single thing on my list was something I asked for and then believed as being done. I asked for $10K months. I asked for my first client. I asked for a new home. I asked for my coveted Escalade. I asked for more entrepreneur friends. I asked for $30K months. I asked for passive income. I asked for a content manager. I asked for weight loss. I asked for $50K months. I asked for business-class (or better) travel. I ASKED for those things. And I RECEIVED those things. Some straight away, some weeks or months after I started asking for them. But everything I created in my life started from the decision to just ASK for what I wanted. You can do the same in your life. Just start asking for (and then EXPECTING) what you want! The key, though, is to ask for what you want in a very specific manner. And have a REASON behind each ask. For example, let’s say what you want is a new home. First of all, what does that new home look like? How many bedrooms does it have? Where is it located? What is the view like? How big is the kitchen? GET SPECIFIC. And then – WHY do you want that home? What is the meaning behind asking for it? If you don’t have a meaningful reason behind why you want something, you’re not going to receive it because there is no emotion behind it. No bigger purpose other than...
