don’t do it
I have a bone to pick with the “personal development industry.” There’s this particular thing I see pushed constantly in PD programs and business/money coaching programs and it’s great when it works. But when it doesn’t, it’s downright harmful and causes long-lasting damage to your business or career. It can cause you to earn LESS money than before, in fact. It’s this: the idea that your business (or career) must ALWAYS be doubling, tripling or quadrupling in growth and earning every year. This is FALSE. The follow up to this potentially insidious thoughtform is that in order for a program...
do you like me?
“I think I’m codependent in my business!” This was what a client exclaimed to me on our private call a few weeks ago. She first came to work with me because she’d been in the business coaching program of a pretty famous business coach, yet her business was still struggling to get clients and she couldn’t find the motivation to show up consistently. Was it the big, famous business coach’s fault? Nope. Her program was great, so this isn’t about throwing shade. But, my client’s problem wasn’t a strategy issue. She learned some great strategies from that big business coach’s...
unsettling realization
Becoming your next level self is not supposed to be easy… A few years ago I was doing the “future visioning” exercises I teach clients in the Capacity Shift™ program and I had an unsettling realization: I had a BIG vision for my life and my business--Oprah-level big. But when I looked at who I needed to be and what I needed to embody at that level of my success, there was a glaring misalignment. You can’t have a ten gallon life if you currently only bring the capacity of a pint to the table. Abundance flows towards alignment and...
against every “Internet marketing” rule
Wow. The feedback about It’s Not Your Strategy, It’s Your Capacity: A Guided Journaling Experience has been amazing. And, I’m in deep gratitude. If you weren’t able to join us, read on for transparency times 10. Yesterday, enrollment officially opened publicly for Capacity Shift, a group container for my proven capacity framework. And, today, I’m inviting you, too. This goes against every “Internet marketing” rule in the book, but there will probably always be an open invitation to join us. Why? Partly because I’m at the stage in my career where I’ve 100% divested from manipulation tactics and false scarcity. (In...
emergency landing
Remember a few years ago when that plane landed in the Hudson River and the pilot, Captain Sully, maneuvered to save every single person on board? Imagine for a moment that you’re him. Decades of being trained to listen to air traffic control’s commands NO MATTER WHAT. Shortly after take off a flock of birds hits your engine and your plane is going down. You frantically look around for a safe place to land. There are no airports close enough. You can’t land in Central Park without killing people. The only option is to land in the Hudson River, a...
secret shaman
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is “once you get to a certain amount of income, life is easy. And “those high earners certainly must not have capacity issues, since they’re making so much money.” Think again. Capacity issues affect us at every level of our success. I briefly worked with a woman who’d built a large online empire centered around her truth-telling books and blog posts. Yet, she had an entire intuitive side of her she didn’t share. She had incredible psychic abilities, loved working with tarot cards and could even channel for a very select few clients....
bonkers
When I was a kid there was a commercial for a chewy fruit candy called “Bonkers”. In it, a person would eat a piece of the candy and a HUGE fruit would fall from the sky. I was obsessed and wanted the giant fruit to fall on me, too. When I finally convinced my junk-food-avoidant parents to let me buy a pack of this candy, I ripped the piece of candy from its wrapper, ran outside to eat it (so the fruit wouldn’t damage the roof of the house when it fell from the sky, of course) and waited. Nothing...
so now what?
I normally write blog posts in advance, so I’m writing this weeks before the US presidential elections. I have no idea who will have won by the time you see this post, or how you’ll feel on this day. We may not even know the results yet. So it felt odd to continue the “ways my capacity grew in the last three years” series we’ve been diving into. Doesn’t feel like what we’ll need on this day. But one thing I DO know is this: we ALWAYS need Capacity Work™ and no matter the outcome of this election, we’re all...
energetic stabs
You’ve heard me talk about how Visibility Capacity is your ability to allow all of you to be fully seen in your life and work. But what happens when expanding your Visibility Capacity means you share less because you’re becoming more healthily selective? Is this a Visibility Capacity deficit? Or expansion? Depends on who you ask... Last week we started a conversation about how unlocking your own Capacity Code™ makes it possible for you to hold, handle and receive your next level. Today, I’m sharing one of the biggest Visibility Capacity shifts I had in the last few years. And...
your rent quadruples
A few days ago, I shared the major capacity expansion cycle I’ve experienced the past few years. It was filled with wonderful moments and also some drama. I promised I’d be sharing it all over the next few weeks through the lens of the Six Capacities: Money, Visibility, Purpose, Embodiment, Structural & Boundary. We’re starting with Money Capacity™. Money Capacity is your ability to earn, save & invest more money, year after year. This capacity grows endlessly, no matter how much we’ve earned. So it follows I had Money Capacity expansions the last few years. One of the biggest events...
