Why I Love Discomfort
I read the most incredible quote last week, and it summarized in a nutshell why we sometimes get stuck, feeling like nothing is working. “If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean a giving up of familiar…
Big Secret
Years ago a client hired me to help her with visibility struggles. She was a “best kept secret” – people in her industry respected her work and hired her to help them make millions with their launches. But she was struggling to make anything past $150,000, even after being in business for 5 years. How…
I’m in Oprah Magazine!
I have been holding this in for a week! I was traveling down to Panama recently when my friend Lynne texted me THIS picture, saying “I love seeing this in my O Magazine!”: I was amazed! Y’all already know how in July, Oprah and Gayle came to my house to surprise me in person. So,…
Dirty secret
I have a cute little water fountain on the side of my house. I dutifully fill it with water every day to enjoy the bubbling sounds throughout my day as I work. But sometimes, when it’s a particularly sunny day, I’ll walk outside, and it will be bone dry and empty just a few hours…
Explain yourself
If Oprah (or the person you admire most) called you up today and said, “you’re live on my TV show, tell us what you do and how you help people!?” what would you do? Can you honestly say you’d confidently rattle off in a clear, succinct manner exactly what you do, why you’re a genius…
Seven-figure failure
If I had a dollar for every client who came to a call beating themselves up because “they’re not there yet”… I’d have A LOT of extra dollars. And you know what? I get it. I used to absolutely torture myself in my own business for “not being where I should be by now”. Like…
Face slap!
One of the most powerful things a mentor ever said to me was “your business isn’t about you.” Ouch! At the time it felt like a sharp slap in the face, but she was right. While tough to hear, it changed my life and business forever. That’s what good mentors do if we’re willing to…
They found me out
I KNOW you’ve heard of Impostor Syndrome. You’re bopping along feeling great, maybe you have a new offering coming out, or you get invited to speak on a TV show, and BAM, it hits you. This deep fear that somehow people will “find out” you’re “not that great,” and EVERYONE will know it. The problem…
Offensive bathroom break
You’ll often hear people talk about “scarcity mentality” and “abundance mentality.” I know you’ve read and internalized all the usual signs of “scarcity mentality,” so I won’t repeat what you already know. But there’s one sneaky way scarcity mentality comes up, even in the person most convinced they’re “abundantly minded.” When I’ve pointed it out…
Resisting?
Many years ago I worked with a woman who’d just written a book. She had an incredible personal story to tell and even her publishers knew it was going to blow the F up when it was released. “Marguerite” had one problem though… She kept holding back the book launch. First, it was another round…
