I'm never comfortable, but look, part of the mistake I see in many business people, and they've admitted it, they got comfortable when their company was excellent. I saw many business owners online who could be making a killing right now. They could have started pivoting their businesses three years ago. That's what we started doing in the event of a market correction. They'll admit, they're comfortable, they thought everything would be great. That's a lesson I have learned one too many times, t...

Here are the top money mindsets or beliefs that have helped me throughout the last crisis and this crisis to make sure business is always thriving.

What I did not realize during the last recession, was that I was going in blind and putting one foot in front of the other. People were looking for information on money, and I was providing them this service, and that led to income. That is how we create value. People are ready to pay to either fast track a solution or learn something that they don't want to figure on their own. There are free resources on the internet, however; it might take you a hundred hours to learn a new skill someone coul...

Practical steps created in the process of mental transition can also be a physical transition. A couple of years into my writing and coaching career, I noticed three things. Number one it's not scalable. If I wanted to make more money, I would have to take on more clients, work more hours. Number two, I was quickly getting tired of getting close to but not quite reaching my goal income of $10,000 a month. Number three, and this is real; my hands started to hurt from all the typing. Not Every Dec...

Five years ago, I was trying to sell coaching packages and was rejected 60 times in one month. Today, in early March, I ran my sales numbers for February and took in $62,000 in sales and contracts. I usually share this with clients who've hit walls or received a lot of "no." One year after I launched my book, Make Money Your Honey, I'd been asked to partake in a tele-summit for eight international women's networking groups to talk about money and money mindset. There were 200 women on the telecl...

Best Birthday Lessons I've Learned Since Last Year I started with a birthday post of one lesson I learned for each year of my life. At 25, I gave 25 lessons I've learned in 25 years. I'm 32 now, and to list 32 lessons would be too much for one blog. To distill my lessons, I'm going to give you the main lessons that I've learned since my last birthday. My biggest lessons are around the team and being a leader. For some reason, this concept seemed different in my mind. When I decided to train my t...

Many of my clients over-complicate their situation and create the small dollar items first because they don’t want to invest in the bigger dollar items as they are afraid they will lose money. I'm going to tell you what's worse than losing money, losing time. Most likely you are already wasting both time and money by not investing in your high dollar product. Many of you may be under the assumption that you need to have money sitting in your bank account in cash before you can make an investment...

We hear, "Another day, another dollar" and "An honest day's work for an honest day's pay.". We hear these quotes from a young age from our parents and others. In addition to these money beliefs, women have an added layer of drawback, which is known as perfectionism. We have to have everything perfectly figured out before we're able to create the abundance we desire in our lives. I know this all too well as I'm recovering under earner. The struggle to escape this mindset and create a new journey ...

Picking up from the last episode, this episode starts off with how you can change your mindset to avoid blocking your money blessings. If you're not making enough money to survive, then you're worried about your own survival and the 24 inches around you. When this occurs, you can't self-actualize or have the ability to come up with creative solutions to problems. You'll be extremely focused on your lack of money. I understand this is a societal influence we have going on right now. Our society a...

You hear so many myths and stereotypes about "rich people," and I want to debunk common myths that might be keeping you broke. To have money, you have to want money. You can't have one without the other. I've heard people say that wealthy people are luckier or have a better life". Wealthy people receive the same 24 hours in a day that you receive, the same 1440 minutes in a day which they, and you, choose actions that can move you forward or backward. Rich people are human, the same as you and m...

The only reason my company doubled in 2018, and exponentially grew in 2019, is because I am disciplined and I am focused. I know what I want, and I go after it, period.

Take Personal Responsibility For Your Choices That's right, I'm starting with you first. Are there bad coaches out there? Yes, some unskilled people talk and don't deliver in every profession. Then there are people who are looking to scam vulnerable people. I believe in love and light, but I am also a realist. One of my teachers says, "Know the truth, but respect the illusion." The illusion is you got a whole lot of narcissists out there taking advantage of people with very low self-esteem, and ...

Do You Have Money Trauma? Even if you grew up in the most wonderful household, all you had to do was walk outside the door, and you'd already start getting hit by other people's trauma about money. I often hear people beating themselves up about money because they feel they should have had their finances together before they decided to get them together with an "I should have known better" attitude. Honestly, how are you supposed to know better if no one ever taught you to manage your money any ...

We Need To Think Big, Bigger, Biggest! Amanda, one of my students in my Persuade to Profit program, asked me how to know when it's time to let a project go or make a transition in your career or business. We need to think bigger, think ahead, see what's coming down the pike, and then act accordingly. When you do this process, you have to be able to adapt in the moment. Maybe you need to let certain projects go, maybe you need to let certain dreams die, because they just don't make sense anymore....
