Want to create twice as much in half the time?

Want to create twice as much in half the time?

Spend some time focusing on one item or to do at a time.

I used to spend a lot of my time multitasking.

I used to think it was creating more and was being productive. Only to learn it was not helping me be more productive AND it cost me my creativity.

Every time our brain moves from one focus to the next, it reduces our concenration and does not allow us to tap into our brains highest possibility.

Every time our brain moves from one thing to the next, it takes our brain time to adjust and it uses up precious brain energy.

The energy our brains uses to readjust is not spent on really tapping into it's fullest potential.

So now I try not to multitask and focus on one thing at a time.

I have noticed my brain is so much more creative and comes up with ideas and possibilities that we're already in plain sight.

As we focus on one thing at a time, it allows our brain to go into flow, which has our brains tapping into it's fullest capacity and geniuses.

When we finish a task, it gives our brain a sense of accomplishment and motivates it to do more, which also fuels our brain to want to show up for the reward.

When our brain is self-motivated, it's easier to do more, create more, and thus earn more.

So focusing on one thing at a time, can be the difference between hitting more of your goals and becoming the person who can do it over and over again, thus creating more in half the time.

I teach when it's focus time, turn off all distractions, like social media and turn on a timer. Spend time on that one item until time is up OR until the project is done.

I teach to use a timer, to give our brains a break and if the project requires a more extended period. Our brains can only focus entirely for a certain amount of time and thus work with our brains to create more together.

Teach yourself to trust that you will focus and get the project done AND there will be time to have fun after, which is even more enjoyable when the work is done.

If you are ready to create twice as much in half the time, I can help you. Send me a private message, and let's schedule a discovery call.

Brain Waste

“Brain waste” is a term used to define the 2 million immigrants who have undergraduate or above degrees, and are either unemployed or holding low-skilled jobs.

The statistics blew my mind.

The articles state that the “brain waste” is predominant in the black and Latino communities, as educated individuals accept lower wages to take care of their 4 walls (food, shelter, utilities and transportation).

An additional problem is we were taught the solution to this problem is more education and many of us will try to solve the problem by getting another degree or training.

We are trying to solve the problem with the cause of the problem, and like Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

I help my immigrant clients identify what is between them and achieving the life and income they desire.

We identify;

Why they accepted the positions they currently have.

What is there current thinking, feeling and action pattern?

What is their current decision-making pattern?

What is their current solving pattern?

Just to name a few.

And we unlearn them and internationally replace them with effective patterns.

With awareness and a new course of thoughts, feelings and actions, my clients start creating more income and results than before.

Their possibilities open up and they start seeing how they can create the life and freedom they knew was possible for them.

Let’s use our amazing brains to create the life and freedom we can have.

When I arrive, then......

“When I arrive then....”

I have used this phrase or some version of it for years.

It seemed like an innocent or even sometimes motivating thought.

I did not know how this phrase was actually costing me my happiness in the present moment.

Think about it;

When I arrive then I will be so happy.

It means I will and can only be happy when I arrive.

It means the act of arriving will be better than where I am or the journey I’m on.

It means there, where I have arrived to, is better than the here where I am.

It has me sacrificing my current happiness or joy, for a future where I have arrived.

And what happens when I don’t arrive?

Sadness and suffering.

What happens to this happiness I have been withholding from myself?

What if there or where I have arrived to is still 50% positive and 50% negative?

We feel robbed, because isn’t there supposed to be better?

Isn’t there supposed to be perfect?

Isn’t that why we are going there?

Total mind fuck!!!

One little phrase can cause so much pain and suffering.

What if we stopped using this phrase and decided there is not any better than here?

What if we decided that we are on the journey and the journey is why we are here?

What if we decided that the journey is just as fun as the destination?

What if we have already arrived, because our past self created the life we currently have?

We have arrived!!

Let’s enjoy the hell out where we are!!

Here is a little Secret, there will only be as much fun as here 😉

Have fun my friends, you have arrived!!

You are impacting lives

My brain is always blown away when I hear who I’m impacting by living my life.

I made a decision about 10 years ago that I wanted to leave everyone I encountered better than I found them.

It could be by a kind word, smile or motivation. It could also be by tough love.

This was years before I decided to be a life coach and I never regretted that decision, as I got the benefits of that decision.

Now that I’m a life coach and actively marketing, this core belief still motivates me daily and is the grounds for how and what I post.

And the people who are being impacted and what impacts them blows me away and humbles me at the same time.

A little girl from Kenya, living her life is inspiring people to live their best lives.

A mother who wants to be an example of what is possible for her children can inspire another person to do the same.

A one day grandmother who wants to change her family tree for generations to come, can inspire more generations of families.

The moral of the story is, live your best life and believe someone’s life is being impacted by your choice to live your life.

People are watching, even though they are not liking or commenting.

Ever time you overcome your struggles, you are inspiring someone to believe it is possible for them too.

Continue to show up and do you, and trust the world is better because you did.

The Cost of Money

Last week I turned away and refunded a client who had paid me my full invoice.

Why?

  1. I was not the coach for her

  2. There is something like paying a high price for money - I know this concept blow me away too when I learnt it

Before I learnt the concept of working too hard and paying a high price for money, I believed there was nothing like the cost of money.

I was willing to do almost anything moral for it.

I once worked for an employer who had me working at least 2 jobs for one salary.

I thought I was a hard worker and did the job with tons of pride and a very positive heart.

What I missed was I was working too hard for the money, which was coming from scarcity and from believing I was worth less.

Because I believed I was not worth more, my employer paid me what I thought I was worth.

I realized I was discounting my value and worth when I asked for a $3,000 raise and was told no. I went to another company and was paid more for less work and it includes bonuses. My first year’s bonus was over $3000.

I am a life coach because of that move, as I work less and have less stress and requirements.

My relationship with myself is so much greater, because I was willing to stop paying a high price for money.

Where are you paying a high price for money?

How are you discounting yourself and not seeing your own worth?

Money is attracted to people who know their worth and are willing to ask for it.

Money is abundant and wants to hang out with abundance and knowing what you are worth and asking for your worth is abundant.

Hire me as your coach and learn more about how to attract, create and have more money.

Imagine the possibilities of making more money and not paying any more for it.

Imagine the possibilities of even just asking for what you are worth from the universe and it showing you how you still are asking for too little.

Believe to create the results

When I was struggling in my business, I would look for the results for me to stay in action and belief.

What this looks like was when I would go into action and I would not get the results that I wanted, I would:

- make it mean something negative about me

- stop taking action

- seek something external from me to give me motivation to take action.

As I have grown and evolved into the woman I am today, I stay in believe which keeps me taking action despite the results.

I do this by:

- believing that the action is worth it and the results will happen.

- Believing in me and in my abundance and prosperity.

- Believing in a higher power and calling and knowing that the power of the compound effect is at work.

- Believing in the law of you of “reap what you sow” and that there is time for planting in time for sowing.

- Not tying my belief to the results or lack there off of results.

- Not waiting for the results to dictate how I will show up and or act or deal.

This requires the feeling of belief and trust that hard work and consistency pays off.

What would your business look like a year from now, if you showed up consistently in belief and took action despite any results you created in your life and business?

Who would you help and serve if you were in belief and trust more?

If you are ready to take your business and the people you serve to the next level by how you experience your results, hire me as your coach.

We can do amazing things while scared

I’m freaking scared.

I’m feeling fear in my body.

I’m shaking all over and my amazing coach is lovingly holding space for me.

I’m still scared and crying.

I’m so scared and trying to reassure my body and me that I can do this and I can trust me and my coach, but I cannot and ask to come out of feeling my emotions.

The story I have is that making the wrong decision will mean death and it will hurt the people I love.

The story I have is death is the end and there is nothing on the other side.

The story I have is death will mean I failed not only me but the ones who depend on me.

I cry. My coach continues to hold space for me and says something that changes my life forever “it’s ok, nothing has gone wrong here. Here is where you just choose to tell a different story”.

Like what?

My thoughts and fear is just a story?

Well my friends, yes it is.

Me sitting there in front of my amazing coach is just a series of events that have blown my mind.

The journey I am on started after my Grandma Ruth died and because of the amazing relationship I had with her before she died and most importantly, the relationship I have with her since she died.

Strong urges, decisions and intuitions, that had me sitting across from my beautiful coach.

So death is not the end, it can be the beginning.

Death is an opportunity for new beginnings.

I hurt my loved ones unconditionally when I am alive and I will hurt them when I die.

And I can be ok with it all.

I can be sad and scared and still feel and process the emotions.

I can question all my stories and I can retell them.

The fact I feel fear means I’m alive and experiencing life.

The fact I feel fear is just an opportunity to be curious and find the stories I have chosen in the past and I can choose to trust the process and me.

So I have decided to make friends with my fear, feel it and appreciate it as the fact I’m here on this side and living.

I have also chosen to up level my living and see how much I can milk from this living experience.

Join me as I do scary shit surrounded by amazing women and coaches who are doing scary shit and living life to its fullest.

A way to attract more customers without sending Direct Messages

I have had 5 different people tag me in posts promoting their business in the last 2 days.

These are examples of individuals who have learnt a new technique that in my opinion is what gives marketing on social media a bad rap.

The irony is, I have been teaching my clients and the women in my free business group about effective marketing and this is NOT effective marketing.

Why this will not work with high ticket and long term sales.

  1. It is transactional. Transactional selling is focused on the quick and one time sales.

  2. The focus is on the sales person and their need to close a sale or meet a goal

  3. It’s requires very little work and skill from sales person

  4. It is a short term solution to a long term problem

  5. It conveys the feelings of scarcity and desperation

  6. It requires reaching out to 100s of people for a few sales

I teach my clients and the women in my free group how to market effectively by building relationships with their prospects.

  1. Relationship marketing creates long term relationships with your people. I have know relationships that have lasted generations, where mom was a customer and now daughters are customers.

  2. Prospects decide THEY know, like and trust you and they choose to buy from you.

  3. It has you building long term relationships and you work with less customers and results in higher sales

  4. It requires skill and is the preferred way used by individuals who want to earn professional income

  5. It serves the customers and is focused on the customers

  6. It adds value into the world and increases the reorders, referrals, and recruits actually choosing to join your team.

  7. It comes from the feeling of abundance and trust

If you would like to learn how to build a profitable business, that incrementally grows using relationship marketing, join my free group.

Value of evaluating to create more success

A few days ago I was having a conversation with my daughter and she reminded me of a very fundamental part of growing a successful business, starting before you are ready and improving how you think, feel and do as your are working IN your business.

She is vegan and has been for years. She in also trained as a chef and has worked in restaurant kitchens for years.

She moved to Brooklyn last Christmas to pursue her culinary dreams.

She decided to create a holiday cookbook to help Vegans manage the holiday season.

She went to work, with the help of her boyfriend and friend and self created one and had sales.

She is so proud of herself.

I am so proud and happy for her.

In our conversation, she was talking about her next book and what changes she was going to make in not only the book, but in the planning and execution of the book.

Not once did she judge her current book, she is so proud of it and is making adjustments to her next book.

The moral of the story is, we all have done the best we can with the information we had and the results we created was just data on where we were in our mindset and skill set.

It has nothing to do with our worth.

So many business women, look at the results they created and think it was not good enough because they are not good enough. Which makes us feel insufficient.

As we elevate our mindset and skill sets, we elevate the results we create in the world.

If like Haley, we were looking at the results we had from the of feeling proud, what would we do or not do from the feeling?

My bet is show up more powerfully and intentionally.

Every result we have is just data on what our mindset and skill set was at the time we created the result.

If we think it affects our worth or is the best we can do and give up, that is the result you will create in the future.

But if you take the lesson from Haley and be proud of yourself for going out of your comfort zone and created something, you can evaluate what worked, what did not work and what to do differently next time.

Just like Haley, you may learn there is a skill you can learn that will make your next goal even more successful than the last.

I am so grateful for my Cupcake as she has always been my teacher and helped me become the best version of myself.

Her being courageous and always wanting to be the best version of herself is a huge inspiration for me.

If you are ready to learn how to evaluate your business to ensure your next goal is more successful than the last, schedule a consultation Session.

Talk to you soon.

Hugs,

I need another Training

One thing that stands in the way of some business women doubling their income is the thought “I need to sign up or take another training.”

What they miss is that their brain has given them that solution before and it did not solve their problem and did not have them double their income.

The solution is never another training or book or teacher or podcast.....

The solution is using the ones you already have and getting the FULL results the ones you have can give you.

The solution is finding why they did not take action on the ones they already have.

The solution is finding why if they started, why they stopped.

What thought or belief did they encounter that had them stop.

I have an amazing client that was taking action and showing up powerfully in her business but was stuck at a certain income level.

She had taken all the training and still was not able to bust through this level.

She is a badass, a pleasure to work with and has so much potential, but was frustrated.

As we worked together, we found some beliefs that kept her at the level she was at.

Once we found the beliefs and created understanding and compassion for why they were there, she was able to choose different beliefs.

Now she shows up differently in her business and is creating different results.

I have another client who has created great things in her life and business, but she had a belief about how she had created them and thought the responsibility to her success was outside of her.

When we questioned that belief from love and compassion, she saw the role she played in her greatness.

She now is showing up even more powerfully in her business and taken full responsibility for what she can create in her business.

What or who are you thinking will change your income and double your business income?

If the answer is a course, training ...something outside you....

Hire me as your coach and let’s find what is stopping you from doubling your income so you can customize your belief and action plan so you can double your income.

Doing it the way I help my clients do it not only guarantees you will do it this time, but in the future.

Working with me is an investment in your business and your future as my clients make their investment back.

Looking for Clarity in your business?

When I was stuck in my business , I searched for clarity by taking passive actions; learning, listening to people, talking to people, watching videos, listening to podcasts.

All the passive action NEVER gave me clarity!!

Clarity comes from actually taking actions.

Clarity comes from massive action. Massive action is going to work and trying things over and over again until you get the results that you want.

Clarity comes from trying something and getting the feedback and evaluating the feedback and trying again.

The how comes after you have created the results.

Clarity comes from actually learning from YOUR experience.

Somebody else can tell you what works for them, but clarity comes from you actually doing it.

The best part about gaining clarity from taking action is that not only do you gain clarity, but you also get results and you can repeat it again.

If you are stuck taking passive action and you would like to gain clarity and results, I can help.

If you are a business woman who has been stuck and you would finally like to gain clarity, my program is for you.

If you are a woman entrepreneur and you would like to create 2020 into the best year in your business yet, I’ve got you.

I have limited spots at my current package. Let me know if you would like one of them.

The secret to creating thoughts and thus a profitable business

So many of us live our life thinking that life happens to us.

We think that we are at the effect of the external things that happen to us.

I teach my clients a concept that shows them just how powerful they are.

I teach them how to think on purpose and create thoughts that will help them create emotions, actions and thus the results they want in their business.

To Create a business that we want, we have to think thoughts that we have never thought before.

If we keep thinking old thoughts we will keep recycling old results.

I teach my clients how to create their thoughts which is a skill.

Everybody who is created anything in this world has used their thoughts to create it.

First, we find the current thoughts that they were thinking which are causing the current feelings, actions and results.

Then, we create the new thoughts.

We practiced those new thoughts and believe the new thoughts.

If necessary, we create a bridge thought between the two that helps us believe the new thoughts on purpose.

For example, you may be thinking “I cannot build a profitable business”.

The new thought we create is “I can’t build a profitable business”.

A bridge that could be believable is “it is possible that I can create a profitable business”.

Practicing and rehearsing is what will make the new thought stick and create the business that we want.

Our thoughts create all our results.

If we create new thoughts, even small shifts in our thoughts, we will create different results in our business.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into this and learn more about thought creations, watch my weekly video.

Cognitive dissonance - the mental discomfort that happens when going for a goal

Before I started my journey as a life coach, are used to set goals and I used to encounter something very uncomfortable.

When I would experience that discomfort I would make it mean that I did something wrong.

I would make it mean that maybe I’m not supposed to have that goal.

What I learned along my journey was that there’s a term for that mental discomfort and that term is cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort when you are between two beliefs and trying to believe the two thoughts at the same time.

This is where we’re trying to believe “I can create a new goal”, but your brain is holding onto all the belief of “I cannot create a the goal”.

The cognitive dissonance is where those two thoughts contradict each other and our brain is genuinely having a mental discomfort.

Cognitive dissonance happens when you’re going for a big goal and evolving into new thoughts and feelings.

Like me, most people would give up when they experience cognitive dissonance.

To create a new goal, we are required to grow and evolve and to be able to think and feel new thoughts and it requires us to become the new version of ourselves and hold new thoughts.

Cognitive dissonance is normal, everybody experiences it.

I teach my clients that the mental discomfort is just part of the process of evolving.

I teach my clients how to move along from the old thought and feeling to the new thought and feeling using a tool that we called bridge thoughts.

Bridge thoughts of where you create thoughts that help you bridge from one end to the other.

The old thought is “ I cannot”.

The new thought you want to believe it is “I can”.

The bridge thoughts that I teach my clients are thoughts like:

“it is possible that I can”.

“I am willing to consider that I can”.

“It’s likely someone like me can”.

This helps our brain start believing in the possibility of the new thoughts and creates awareness for the mental discomfort and the normalcy of all of it.

If you would like to dive deeper into concepts like this, that show up along your journey of creating goal, schedule a consultation and lets identify how the mental discomfort shows up for you.

2 ways to make your goals inevitable

There are three stages of belief.

The first stage, is impossibility.

This is where you do not believe it is even possible for you to create that goal that you want it.

For me, impossibility is just disbelief.

But when I noticed that my feeling is impossible, I noticed that there’s a part of me that believes that I don’t have what it takes to create that result.

Because my brain thinks it’s impossible it means that there is a way to make it happen, but just not for me. But that’s a good thing.

Because if it if there is a way to make it happen, I can figure it out.

That’s a good thing, because it means that I just have to some work to do.

The second stage of belief is possibility.

When I think and feel possibility, I feel the belief that I can make it happen.

I believe not only that there is a way, but I can figured the way to create it.

I believe that one day it will happen, but just haven’t got all my ducks in a row.

The third stage of belief is inevitability.

When I feel inevitable it is grounded, it is certain, it is happening.

I may not have figured out exactly how to make it happen and I may not know exactly when it will happen, but I do believe it will happen.

I believe I will have it. So when I go into inevitability and believe that it will happen for me, I then create some thing my mentor calls do you goals goals.

A do goal is not just a concept that we have in our mind of things we would like to accomplish, but they are actually the action steps that we need to take to create the results.

They are a structured way of taking massive action.

Do goals have three steps;

step one, write what you want to accomplish down.

Step two, prioritize the three top things that you want to accomplish in the next 90 days. Be as clear and as specific as possible.

Step three, once you have a list organize and schedule when you will do the action steps.

Fill out on your schedule what and when you’re going to do things.

The most important part of this process is scheduling when you’re going to do things and honoring your commitment to yourself.

Honoring your commitment to yourself is what will your goals inevitable.

Consistently keeping your word to yourself and taking the steps that will be needed to create the result is the most important part of this process.

If you need help creating do goals or scheduling your do goals or keeping your commitments to yourself, schedule a consultation with me.

I can help you create a relationship with yourself that not only creates massive action plans, do goals, schedules, consistently, keeping your commitments to yourself and creating the results that you want, but one that blows your mind consistently. Most people know what to do, the problem is actually going from step to step and holding themselves accountable and creating the results that they want.

This is my area of expertise and I can help you.

Do you show up consistently in your business?

Do you show up consistently in your business?

Why or why not?

When I was struggling in my business, I had a habit of stopping and starting and only showing up when I felt like it.

My business and income changed when I made the decision to start showing up consistently in my business and I teach my clients how to show up consistently in their business and the value of making the decision to show up consistently.

When you make the decision to show up consistently it will reveal your ability to decide and keep a commitment to yourself. It will reveal your relationship with yourself and how open you are to honor your commitments to yourself.

When you decide to show up consistently, you learn how to plan and make decisions ahead of time.

The more your honor your commitments to yourself, the better you will think and feel about yourself. The better your story about yourself will be.

I teach my clients how to commit to show up consistently no matter what. I teach them how to decide to not give up and how to fight for them version of themselves that shows up consistently for their dreams.

If you are committed to showing up consistently, it will reveal to you where there is room for growth in managing your mind, managing your emotional life, managing your thoughts, feeling and actions.

When you make a commitment to showing up consistently, it revels to you that there is literally nothing you cannot create in your life.

I teach my clients that our level of success is determined by our level of commitment to ourselves and a great way to learn how to be committed is by deciding to be consistent.

If you are ready to learn how to show up consistently, schedule a consultation session and we can identify where there is room for growth in your life an business.

Do you feel disorganized?

Does your life, business and time feel overwhelming and in disarray?

I used to feel that way all the time.

My live changed when I learnt that external disorganization was because my mind was disorganized. 😯

This was hard to take in at first and I was not ready to hear it.

I started noticing that as I cleaned up my thoughts and the clutter in my brain, my surroundings and business got cleaner and more organized.

The more I organized my brain, the more organized my surroundings and business got.

And the more willing I was to manage my time and business.

My mentor uses the analogy of our brains being like a house that is cluttered with thoughts, judgements, negativity, ideas etc. And cleaning up our brain is like cleaning up the house; room by room, drawer by drawer, until we have a more organized house.

I teach my clients and group members how to create habits of cleaning up their brains and seeing what’s in there and deciding what they want to keep or get rid of.

Identifying what thoughts are serving them and what thoughts are just taking up valuable Real estate.

I teach them how to be intentional with their valuable brain and in the process create profitable businesses.

If you are ready to learn how to declutter your brain and create the business and income you know you can have, schedule a consultation and let me help create the business you know you can have.

Do you struggle with maintaining emotions like motivated and passionate?

Do you struggle to build a successful business?

Do you struggle to find motivation and passion?

Do you go to external sources like music, motivational speakers, webinars, books, and other people to be motivated and passionate, to show up in your business?

I used to feel the same way and my motivation would only last as long as I was feeling motivated.

My life and business changed when I learnt how to create motivation within me.

I learned that motivation and passion comes from my mind.

Motivation and passion comes from our thinking.

When we think passionate and motivated thoughts, we feel passionate and motivated.

I teach my clients how to generate emotions like passionate and motivated so that they can generate it anytime they need it.

The three steps that I teach my clients to generate motivated is:

1. find the thought that is preventing them from feeling motivated now.

2. create thoughts that will make them feel motivated.

3. practice and repeat those thoughts and feelings until they the brain automatically goes to those thoughts and feelings when they need to feel motivated and passionate.

Teaching the brain how to do something new like this, is very uncomfortable, like learning a new language.

But it’s very worth it when you know you can generate any emotion you want when you want it.

The benefits, is no matter what happens; client no-shows, someone cancels etc. you can still feel motivated and passionate.

Being able to generate effective emotions is the catalyst to creating a successful business, no matter what.

If you would like to learn how to create emotions using your brain and practice creating a habit of effective thoughts and feelings, I can help.

Hire me and see what a difference 12 weeks can make in your income and your motivation.

Have you ever struggled with burnout?

Have you ever struggled with burnout?

Do you get burnt out when you are building your business?

I used to struggle with burnt out and exhaustion.

I used to believe my burnt out and exhaustion was because I did so much and put in a ton of effort.

I would work a ton of hours and would conclude that the hours I worked was why I was burnt out.

When I learnt more about true burn out and exhaustion, and evaluated the times I experienced them, I noticed I actually worked less hours and created less on the times I experienced burn out and exhaustion.

The times I really worked hard and created amazing results in my life, I was actually energized and motivated.

What was the difference?

Burnout is caused by our thoughts and feelings.

I learnt that when I was burnt out I had poor planning, thoughts that lead to emotions of stress and overwhelm and beliefs based in scarcity.

When I experienced burn out, I was reacting to life and resisting the normal roller coaster of business.

When I experienced burn out, I was not dealing with my emotions and the everyday stress of running a business.

I was reacting, avoiding and resisting the emotions that come with running a growing business.

I was believing if I used willpower and just forced myself to work my business, I would create a destination that was better than where I was.

I was hoping for a future time and place that would be “better” than the now.

I also noticed I produced a lot less during the times that lead to burnout vs. the times I was energized.

When I was energized I produced a ton more finished results that lead to increased income.

When I was energized, I planned my week, planned my work and planned what I would create.

I knew what to expect and identified what I was working hard for.

I knew what results I was working for and what I wanted to create.

I had a vision of the journey and I accepted the normal roller coaster of building a profitable business.

The main difference is I am enjoying the journey even more than I anticipate the destination.

The difference is I fuel my actions with effective and energizing emotions that have me working hard and not getting burnt out.

I help my clients find effective and energizing thoughts and emotions that has them enjoying the journey of building a profitable business.

I help my clients find thoughts and feeling that lead to overwhelm and stress and replace them consciously with thoughts and feelings that lead them to feeling energized and motivated.

Schedule a consultation and learn how burnout does not have to be part of your journey as you build a profitable and sustainable business.

Do you know quitting slows us down?

In my prior business I used to quit when things got hard.

I accepted quitting as part of my life.

I just thought quitting was a character trait, but learnt quitting was just a habit.

I also learnt that justifying quitting was a skill and the more I quit the better I got at quitting and justifying quitting.

I would commit to building a successful business or commit to reaching out to a certain number of customers in a week.

I had the desire to grow a profitable business.

But my desire to avoid pain, seek pleasure and exert the least amount of energy was stronger, and I found myself quitting when things got hard.

My list of excuses was always long, and I was never to blame.

Every time I quit, I got a temporary dopamine hit and it would feel good.

My life and business changed when I made a commitment to stop quitting.

I made a commit to my future self and the future business I want.

I know I will have a desire to quit, but my desire to build a successful business that empowers so many women is stronger.

I have learnt how to manage my mind using my pre frontal cortex and the strategic by product of this skill is me taking the amazing skill into other areas of my life and have achieving bigger goals than I ever imagined before.

I teach my clients:

1.     How to create a new habit, where quitting is not an option

2.    How to create a compelling reason that pales in comparison to desire to quit

3.      How to manage their mind and the positive impact in their life and business

If you are ready to take your business and life to the next level, I can help.

Hire me and see the amazing impact not quitting can have on your business and income.

Do you have constant thoughts like "I cannot do it"?

When I was stuck in my business, I would have the thought “I cannot do this.”

Every time I went for a goal, my brain would have tons of doubts that I could not do this.

It would find evidence why other people could do it, but not me.

Even if I took action, it came from a place of doubting that I could do it, so the action was half, faking, not really how I wanted to show up in the world, and not be sustainable.

The results I created, was to prove the thought I cannot do this.

I learned along this journey that “I cannot do this” was just a thought that everybody has.

I accepted the thought and choose change my thoughts to “maybe, I can do this”.

My feeling was determined.

The actions I took from the feeling of determined were, learning how to take action, trying, putting things out into the world see what happened, creating progress.

The results I created were proof and evidence to support the thoughts and show that I could do it.

Now my thought is “of course, I can do this”!

My feeling is resolved. And I take massive action where even if I experience failure I make it mean that this is growth and progress.

I am creating tons of proof and evidence that I can do this.

If you are experiencing thoughts like “you cannot do this”, I can help!

I help my clients bridge the gap from where they are stuck in self-doubt to where they are creating the business of their dreams.

Schedule a consultation session and see how you already can do it and how you can create proof and evidence to back that up.
