Question for you. When you don’t know how to make things happen in your business, who do you ask?Yourself?Your mentor?Do you scour the internet for some type of training that will finally get you the damn clarity you’re searching for? Or do you just decide? I’ve always believed in trusting your gut, in doing what just feels like the right thing to do. I never ask myself “what should I do?”, I don’t ask anyone for their opinions, I don’t even usually ask for feedback most of the time. I just DO. Seriously. If you can’t figure out what to do, just TRY SOMETHING! Although I do believe in the power of having a mentor by your side, I believe even more in just doing whatever the hell you want to do. Ignore the rules, ignore what everyone else is doing, what they all say is “right”. There are only a few people on this planet that I take advice from, and even their advice doesn’t truly MATTER if I don’t feel like the advice they’re giving is what I was thinking about doing anyway. Never having someone hold my hand, not letting them, fuck being LED by anyone. I’m a rebel, and I’m also a bit of a know it all bitch that will do whatever the fuck I want to do, regardless of what you say, think, or WANT me to do. Let’s be real here. I don’t play by the rules, ever. Don’t care who’s sharing them with me, I always do what I want. BUT – Having a mentor has changed things for me HUGE....

The biggest thing I’ve learned while on this 2-week trip is that it takes a lot of fucking courage, willpower and determination to show up every day and do what it takes to get the results that you want. Many days I’ve slept in (damn you, jet-lag!)A lot of the time our days were packed with outingsFor 4 days I couldn’t get internet access unless I was at our rental (but not if we were out of the house)I drank way too much beer and had the first bad hangover in years There have been days I wanted to say “fuck it, I’m not working”. Many days I was too tired and even too busy to do everything I needed to do. But I’m a hustler. And not only that, but I LOVE what I do, which makes things a bit easier. 😉 And in the end, I know that if I don’t show up and do the work every day, if I self-sabbotage in any way, then I will be pissed at myself, stop making money, and overall just be a very unhappy person. And another thing I’ve learned is that there are certain things I have been doing that most definitely have been stopping me from making money. Once I realized what they were and stopped doing them, money started to flow freely again. And since I love ya so much, I thought I’d share witb you. 🙂 7 THINGS YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW THAT ARE STOPPING YOU FROM MAKING MORE MONEY 1. You’re being realistic.Stop thinking so small! If you dream big, and you work for big,...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last 20 or so years of being an entrepreneur is that it’s really easy to get distracted. It’s really easy to lose focus of what your ultimate vision is, your big goal, your DREAMS. It’a really easy to get caught up in the minutia of life and forget about the bigger picture. I know just how important FOCUS really is, and why it needs to be the number one word you keep in mind every day, for the rest of your life. Because without focus, you are lost, spinning your wheels, all over the place, confused and frustrated. The importance of focus is often overlooked with people trying to do everything all at once. Listen closely: Multi-tasking is the biggest waste of time ever. If you’re trying to do multiple things done at once, I guarantee you’re leaving money on the table by being in multiple places at once. You need to practice the art of focus if you really want to get shit done, make a difference and bring in more money. Focus is the #1 thing many people overlook and one of the biggest reasons so many people fail. Everything in your life needs to focused on sperately from everything else. When you’re brushing your teeth, BRUSH YOUR DAMN TEETH. When you’re writing an email, write the email (don’t also check messages on Facebook and watch TV). When you’re on client calls, talk to your clients (don’t check email and text people). Focus, focus, focus - on one thing at a time. I promise that it will make a world...

Yesterday I had 30 people sign up for my new training program, with dozens more on a waitlist for today’s enrollment to open up. 30 people. 30 sales. In one day. I used to struggle to buy groceries and clothe my kids. Now I’m selling 30 spots in one program in less than 24 hours. I’m making thousands of dollars a day, doing what I love, working on my own schedule, and simply living my life. I don’t know about you, but I find that pretty fucking amazing! While I was out visiting extended family in Ireland yesterday afternoon, the sales were flooding in. When I was able to sneak away for a few minutes to check my phone, I had dozens of new sales. All while sipping tea, petting cows and practicing my Irish accent. 🙂 And to be honest with you, I kind of felt a little bit guilty when I saw all of those sales come through and the money in my account. I felt guilty that this was just so EASY for me, that it’s always so easy for me to make money online, when it’s such a huge struggle for others. I felt bad that I just woke up, put something out there, and had money in the bank less than an hour later (and more money continuing to come in every hour for the rest of the day). You see, my big mission in life is to help women all around the world OWN their financial power. To make massive amounts of moneythemselves, on their own terms, without needing support from anyone else....

Back when I first started coaching, one of the first things I wanted to accomplish was to have created a Facebook group with 1,000 members. I don’t know why creating a Facebook group was at the top of my goals list, but I clearly realized the value of having one. I started with 0 people, as we all do, and in just 6 months, I had far surpassed my goal with over 4,000 members. Now, we have over 6,000 amazing women in there. And the best part? Most of them are the high-achieving, hustle-loving, badass babes that I love to work with. The majority of my income comes from my Facebook group. It’s where I find 90% of my clients and where I make most of my sales. I used to only post in others’ Facebook groups, and although this did help me to get my name out there and position myself as an expert, it didn’t help me to get sales all that easily. It was like pulling teeth, if I’m being honest. But as soon as I created my own group, nurtured it, dropped hints and special messaing, and did strategized marketing, my income went through the roof! I went from $10K months to $15K, then $20K, then $30K and then I hit $50K and $75K, and the numbers keep going up! All because I grew my group in a way that was strategic. You see, the problem with most people that create a Facebook group, is that they don’t know what they’re doing, so they don’t get the results you want. You know it’s important to create...
