Recently I decided to revisit the Strangest Secret audio recording and take the action steps outlined a step further. I decided to write out something I would read every single day. It’s somewhere between an affirmations list, a law of attraction statement, and the notecard exercise from the Strangest Secret or Think and Grow Rich. On this paper I stated who I would like to work with, what I want to accomplish, gave a timeframe, and walked in that mindset taking consistent action. I revisited th...

In this episode I share a journal entry titled They Can't Duplicate Me where I dive into my network and how I have built myself to where I am now. This was an entry due to someone being less than honest in their business practices and my spidey-senses tingling a bit. I realized even if they attempted to copy my process they do not have the same resources or network I have, and that is my unique advantage. Over the years I have worked intentionally to build and nourish a network I can plug in to ...

I've recently changed my approach from trying to acquire as much money as possible in my business to a new principle around income. In it’s most basic form this principle says to decide how much money you MUST create in your business each month, then create products and service that will lead to that number, and do reverse math on the number of clients or customers you need to service. Then go out and do the sales and marketing needed to reach that number. How Much Money Do You Want? Tune in to ...

In the content around that topic, in the people who operate in that space, and in the mindset it takes to be the person who lives that life. The process outlined in The Strangest Secret audio by Earl Nightingale follows this same idea; Set yourself a definite goal. Qu...
