When I mention the word rest, how does it make you feel? 

Guilty, sad, ashamed that you don't do it more often? Do you have all these rules that pop up in your head that have to happen before you rest?

What about when you have a shit show for a week and just can't seem to catch your breath?  Would you rest then? Would you stop and take care of yourself? Could you rely on some tools that could pull you out of that emotional roller coaster?

Or would that shitty week turn into a shitty month. Would that emotion build and build until you either became bitter or burned out, like it was for me? 

This time, I chose to use a different way out of that sticky, shitty emotion instead of just numbing it away.  I wanted lasting relief, not just a bandage that didn't really solve the problem. 

Today's episode dives into what I'm doing differently. How to stop a "they did me dirty" moment in its tracks. How to use it for good, for both you and others. Along with a very easy tool to use to get to the underlying emotion that you really wanted to feel all along. 

 Best yet, this episode is something that you can use to feel relief before its over. 

Listen to the episode... Shift your mindset... Check out the recommendations below. 

You won't regret it.

Do you believe that your skills follow you, or the job? It amazed me the responses I've gotten.

Conversations how skills didn't translate well between jobs. Ideas and mindsets that the collection of loose skills didn't add up to anything worth getting paid for. 

There was this sense of always having to start over again. From the ground up, since there was no clear way to bring the talent and life experience gained with you.

Which would lead to staying stuck and not starting that side hustle. Because it wasnt possible to make money any other way.

The sad part was that I was, in a sense, right there too.

I couldn't see how my skills would make me money. It wasnt like I didn't get paid in the past for side hustles or consulting. But I didn't believe that I could charge appropriately for my work. It felt too messy to try and take those skills and turn them into cash.

Then I had to do a pitch deck and in less than 10 slides say why I was amazing, with proof. Going through that exercise changed my mind and opened my eyes.

Now, I'm clear on what it cost's to hire me. I'm clear on the transformation and clarity I can bring to any customer or job. I'm clear on my skill set that makes ME shine. Most of all.

I'm clear on how my skills follow me and make me money.

Do you ask for help? I didn't for a long time. I actually kinda sucked at asking for help.

I used to create this mindset by denying myself and I became this martyr. I told this story of what I could do on my own. I would say all the time "Look at all the things I'm getting done". Plus, I'm not getting help from anybody. Regardless of how overwhelmed, resentful, and stressed out it made me. My head use to be a dark place.

Now I'm breaking the cycle and asking for help all the time. It can be big or small. Like learning a topic I'm not great at. Or making sure that I listen to specific podcast or courses in the morning to start my day right. It can be honoring my schedule and knowing when to say yes or no to something.

Which means instead of creating this horrible, non supporting story that no one helps me. That Im not supported. I cant do the things i want because I dont have the help or time.

I now realize that none of that is real anymore. I'm supported every time I ask for help.

It could be the the universe that I'm asking for help. A new course that I purchased to help shorten my learning curve. It could be for guidance in my next steps.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how we keep leaving money on the table. Had you told me that 10 years ago.... I would have been pissed and said that was a lie.  

But, unfortunately, we all do it. We develop these blinders that help us understand the world and how to function in it. Sometimes that can be an amazing tool. 

Other times it can become a limiting belief. Then those limiting beliefs, unchecked can cause us to leave money on the table. 

They can cause us to think that we can only bring in money a certain way. That we can only use our skills at work and somehow they magically disappear when we try and do something else. 

Today's episode is to help you shift away from the limiting beliefs that are only certain ways to get paid. To the mindset that you become the person that money chases. 

You are the person that money not only finds its way to. But does so, every day and in every area of your life. You become the person that doesn't see selling as gross or sleazy. But as a way to get paid for the things that you are recommending anyway. 

Listen to the episode... shift your mindset.. Grab the course. 

You won't regret it.

Are you tired of feeling like you just manifesting frustration? Or what I call the daily yo-yo. You do everything you can to stay positive, while NOT seeing any results. It's such a soul killer.

It also can start to train you that money doesn't feel safe.

In todays episode. I go into my money story about not feeling safe, but not being conscious of it. I just felt that I could trust money until I got a huge wake up call from our accountant at the time.

She called my business a heart attack in the process.

I was so stressed out about money that I was trying to manage my clients money for them. Which would stop me from making recommendations, even if it made there lives better. We were burning through our cash too fast and not taking a paycheck.

That hasn't been my reality for over 4 years now.

Now ben and I are close to six figures in savings, investments are up and we are gearing up to buy our first rental property this year.

We have leaned into the The 2.0 vision...

• having enough money to buy land in Tennessee
• buy 10 rental homes over the next few years
• have enough time to take more vacations, not just constantly work

We even have taken two mini vacations this year.

Change was so scary because I didn't believe that it could work for me. That I could be my own success story. That I could learn how to get over my money sabotaging ways and learn to monetize my skills.

But I want you to lean into todays episode. Listen to my countless examples of how I learned to change my mindset, so that it could change my income.

I’m betting that you heard about the quote about not reinventing the wheel. Well there is more truth to that than you can imagine.

But we all kinda do it.

We do is a bunch of random things. That are not related or done in any manner that we can test. We start and stop diets with out looking at what’s working and what’s not. We buy courses or books but never make the space to read them. We even do this at work, by constantly doing little bits of our job differently every time.

Now you might be thinking that testing is boring.

Ill let you in on a little secret. It kinda is. I don’t like testing for testing sakes. But I do love testing so that I can see what’s working and what isn’t.

The intention of testing is designed to help you continue to create micro wins. So you can start to gain momentum. Which means you can finally start to actually see the results that you are after to begin with.

Once you know what results you want. Then testing starts to have a end goal in mind. Which eventually leads to you creating a custom playbook and follow your own recipe for success.

Trust me. We are all willing to pay for a custom playbook that you can go back to over and over again.

Todays episode, I take you into the mindset of how to stop “reinventing the wheel” in your own life. Instead of doing a bunch of random things, that don’t work. To creating a mindset of setting yourself up for momentum. With results that you can create over and over again. Which is what I call building the wheel.

Do you believe that multiple realities exist? I’m not talking woo woo other time line dimensions. Im talking about the current reality that you are living in today. And the one that is possible if you change, because other people are living it right now.

When I started thinking about this. It made even my brain hurt a little bit. But I believe that its an important part of shifting our mindset and habits to create the new “version” of the reality that we want.

It can be hard to believe anything is possible if your stuck in an old mindset. If you:

• Don’t believe you can make more money different than how you make it now
• that you can take all your pto and travel
• that marriage, kids, family has to be hard and draining
• you have to be born with those connections to make anything happen

Then, not only are you not going to change. But you will sabotage any consistent, long lasting change so that you can “stay” the same.

You wont become the person you keep dreaming about. The one that’s making more and more money every year. The person who travels multiple times a year. The one who is fully supported in doing things that they love.

Instead of getting stuck and frustrated. Start with the idea that both realities exist. At the same time. The trick is to find someone that has a portion of the realty you want.

Its the fastest way to create the life you want.  So you can start training your subconscious that this is possible. Which means that it will not fight you on changing your life to mirror what you actually desire.

Thank you so much for listening to todays episode.  I’d love to hear how your using the journal prompts.  Or  tag me and show me where your listening to the episode. You can tag me on all the socials or drop a comment in the Esty store.

The new year has just started and your ready to start making progress on your goals.  Your ready to start that side hustle, hit the gym, do the thing.

But.... then scheduling gets in the way. Something unexpected comes up and throws you off the path before it even became a path. Or your trying to do to much and don't know what to do next.

Is it buy the course? Sign up for the free webinar? Do the latest crash diet? But only for a little bit... So, since you don't know what to do.  You buy the thing.  You  lean into the distraction, and don't take any action.

You stay in learning mode.

Its hard to remember that in the moment.  Especially when your building a new habit.

Its ok to:

• stumble, but get right back on track
• take a night to go to bed early
• build in flexible, scalable habits to make you goal possible
• learn to receive more
• remind your self that rested doesn't mean lazy.
• start compounding your mini successes

Which then because an even bigger success. Because the little habit starts to not only bring to reality the practical things. But also the things that were on your vision board.

Its easy to stay stuck and feel like you are walking around in the dark. It also just as easy to only dream of reaching your goals, and promising that tomorrow you will get started.

This weeks episode is your bridge.  I go over simple, flexible tools so you can use until the habit becomes a part of who you are.  Which means you can actually start living the life you keep dreaming about.

Are you tired of creating goals that never really seem to come true.

Raise your hand if you've gotten all excited for a good new years resolution. Bought the journals, pens and fancy books.

Started out strong. Maybe even made it through the January crunch. Only to wake up in September, look back and have accomplished only 1/10 of what you set to do.

I was tired of scrambling at the end of the year trying to achieve goals that I should have been working on all year.

Last year was different for me. I was able to:

• Hit my sales goal in both my podcast company & my day job
• Outsource some work for my website
• Pay for several acres of irrigation for our Palm Tree Farm without stopping our normal spending
• Go on 3 different vacations with Ben
• Hit our savings goal... then created another savings account for home renovations

Instead of trying to juggle so many goals and feeling like a failure. And ending up with about 6 new fancy journals and only a bit of writing in each and nothing truly accomplished. I created a big picture habit tracker lets you get clear on your goals.

It has room for both mini goals and year long goals. That way you can see what your trying to achieve. Which means you know where to spend your time, and what to say no to.

No more shiny object syndrome.

This weeks episode walks you through the mindset shift I use to rack up successes all year long. Plus some real life examples that I mentioned above.

Listen to the podcast, use the tracker and create goals that let you thrive this year.

Not taking vacations. Having too many people ask for your help.  Taking care of a loved one when they cant take care of themselves.  Hitting a money rough spot.

These are all the normal reason why we get burned out.  But for me it started really when I felt like I was sliding down a slope of constant fatigue.

It was a culmination of bad days, terrible sleep habits and bad boundaries with customers.  That's what kicked off my burn out.  But the bad part was that I couldn't seem to get out of that space.

No matter what I tired.  A bit of rest here or a tiny bit of self care there, it didn't work.  I would feel good for like all of 5 minutes and than, bam, it was back to this feeling like I had my spark taken away.

My day today looks nothing like that soul sucking, spark less day a few months ago.  I'm much better about recognizing when my energy levels are getting low.   I'm much better at recognizing bad self talk and how to untangle fuzzy goals.

I teach you both tricks in Audio #2.  Road map for  what you’re trying to achieve.  I call the energy one, my cell phone battery.  And there is a whole rant on identifying and fixing fuzzy goals  Why we "set" them. What we are actually trying to achieve and how to get there.

And in total Margaret vibe. I created a podcast episode for this course.

Todays podcast episode get you behind the scenes of creating the course. So you can learn a bit more of the mindset and intention in creating it. Which means you too can build the mantra of I'm never going to be burned out again.

I finally got my voice back. Thank god lol.

There last few a weeks have been challenging. I had a my third cold in as many months. And this last one was so bad, that it forced me to take a few days off work because I lost my voice, little mermaid style.

Now, if you know anything about me, I love a down day like the rest of us. But to completely stop everything except for the basics for a few weeks, is just crazy hard for me.

My water rowing machine is my vibe. And when my body forced me to stop and rest, well I didn’t take it well.

I’ve been trying to more aware when my body forces me to pause. My mindset shift is this, instead of looking at this as something that’s in my way and needs to be overcome. Instead, it’s the perfect time to pay attention to what’s not working and fix it. That has been part of my latest evolution with money.

I would pre-pay bills and pay off debts that we had even though it wasnt the right move. While those actions felt like I was doing the right thing. Those decisions would end up putting us back in debt because I still spent more than we had.

Then, a few years ago I make it a point to become comfortable earning more money. To let elevating into overflow and having enough to truly save become my new identity.

The downfall then shifted from spending everything we had and putting us into debt. To be afraid to spend any money because if I didn’t hold on to it, then it would again disappear.

This was another version of making money not feeling safe. Once I was consciousness of that pattern. I vowed to change that bad pattern, the last few years I’ve been focusing on becoming the wealthy women.

Part of that evolution meant hiring Amanda to teach me what I didn’t know about money. I loved her earlier courses and knew that her money deep dive is what I needed to fast track out of self sabotaging .

So why am I sharing my latest money mindsets and shift patterns? Because I believe that being transparent with my journey helps both of us. It helps me see how far I’ve come. Especially on the days that I just want to stay in bed and already be a real-estate module with 10 Air B&B houses. LOL

But, it shows you too that these lessons don’t have to be learned alone. They don’t have to take forever. It’s always smart to hire someone to teach you what you don’t know. But, most importantly there is no shame in asking for help. Or getting the gentle nudge to do a refresher on money principles when it’s time for that next level of growth.

Today we are going to go into the nerdy and abundant world of templates. Now most people don't get as excited as I do when it comes to creating a template. But they don't know what they are missing out on. lol  I'm obsessed about them.

Templates to me, are a gateway to abundance.  They help me focus on what I want to call in, faster than is realistic. Then scale up that success to collapse time.

I do want to point out something that is obvious to me, but maybe not to you. A journal prompt is where we go to dive deeper into our thought process on a topic.  Its how we clear limiting beliefs  and things holding us back. Is where we do the foundational work.

A template is where we go to grow, expand and duplicate existing success on a topic.  It's what we use to outsource the thing we don't want to do anymore, but still want them done in a certain way.  Its how we conserve our precious brain space for things that actually matter.

Ok now that we have the boring tech stuff out of the way. The entire intention of todays episode is to stop feeling overwhelm. Most of us, stumble upon something that works.  A workout routine, a dinner plan, a template to use for our money.

But instead of recognizing that we are on to something that is working and stop to take note of that success. It gets lost in the minutia of our lives.

Instead, I would encourage you to take 30 minutes to get started,  you won’t regret it!  But make sure that whatever system your using can be used anywhere, anytime.   Take the time to sit down and write out a template of where life is going really well.

It will help you show up, be consistent and make things easier that make your life less stressful.  It will help you duplicate the things that are working.

Right now, there are just so many things that we cant control. We cant control the gas price roller coaster we are on. We cant control how other people treat us. But what we can control is how we are reacting to it all. And that doesn't mean being passive and rolling over and just giving up. My nickname was feisty growing up after all. ;)

For me, that means its all about the ego. Normally, there should be a healthy dance that we do with our ego. It help gives us confidence when we are trying new things. And it would be pointing us in the right direction of things we are passionate about.

But when it is out of balance, it can be an ugly and messy thing. That normally looks like the areas that you holding on tight to something that your powerless in. A job. A belief. A ideal version of our self.

Instead of getting stuck in this messy and not helpful area. I like to use trigger to wake us up when we are out of balance. Sometimes its the intense emotion that we are experiencing around the trigger. Anger, frustration and fear are normally the most common ones. Other times it's a friend or family member that is checking us before we wreck our selves.

This happens when we loose sight of the big picture. We get over whelmed and distracted with all the minutia that doesn't matter. Instead of re-enter and get back to all roads leads too..... Staying the course is a muscle that we are constantly building. Its there to keep us on track to achieve the goals, dreams and desires that matter to us. Not chasing some petty vendetta or dying over a hill that doesn't matter.

Today we are going to talk about money hang ups that are holding you back. Of course, I'll have examples for us to dive in to in the episode. And yes, one of the examples is farm related. lol
Its so easy to NOT see our money hang ups. Most of the time they are just sitting in the back of our brain waiting to hold us back from something new.

I discovered another random money hang up the other day. It was a weird contradicting belief about how money was "aloud" to come to me. Which is crazy, because why would I want to stop money in any way from coming to me? That's like turning away winning lotto numbers. Its a nuts concept.

Once I recognized this old belief, it was so much easier to create a new one. I love money and welcome it to come in any form it desires easily and quickly.

That's why I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to just money hang ups. They can be such small, but powerful blocks.

Once we can identify our hang ups, then we can get about our business of moving forward in life. We can work on actively creating our future self.

We can use the tools to overcome them and collapse time. Or make everything we desire take twice as long. So instead of taking the long hard way of letting money come into our lives. Why not clear a path so that it can come in easily?

I cant wait for you to dive into todays episode. I'd love to hear how you are implementing the journal prompts into your day to day. Or where you are when you are listening to the podcast episode. You can tag me on all the socials or drop a comment in the Etsy store.

I don't know about you, but mercury in retrograde is kicking my butt. Its exposing all sorts of beliefs that I've out grown. Which is always fun when you are in the middle of it. And yes, even I still get surprised by some thoughts that got stuck in my brain from years ago.

Now you might not be a astrology fan. But for me. I'm always open to using tools, astrology or friction in my life as feedback to see what needs to change. Where as some other people would use this as a sign to not go ahead with the project. To hold back until the timing is right on creating a project that they want.

I use it as a way to see what's not working, then make a plan to fix it.

By consciously removing the things that we don't want or that just are not working anymore. This is how we make space for our desires for the future.

Its easy to crowd out your time. Its easy to have it so full of obligations and old ways of thinking that there is no room for anything else. To constantly say yes because you are suppose to. To neve say no or that you changed your mind because something no longer works for you. That just leads to burn out and feeling unfulfilled.

So instead, with conscious choice. We can make space for the future we want. We can identify what isn't working and get rid of it. We can lean into automation and systems that support us. We can hire someone to teach us the things we don't know. We can grab the books to support new healthy habits.

Over the last few weeks one of my slow burning obsession's has been how we sabotage our selves.  It's both fascinating and a little bit sad that with all of the information at our fingers. That we still make things harder then they need to be. That we still struggle unnecessarily. That we don't find the teachers or resources to move forward in life faster.

One of my most current ways of  sabotaging was because I had an ugly website. And I fought being on social media like it was the devil.  Because I do like having control over my website and brand, I could have easily found a website template that was easy to use and updated my site years ago.

Instead I choose to put on my blinders and struggle hard. To have a site that make it a nightmare to update or create new sales pages.  Then to top that all off, I was so caught up on how other people were telling me to use social media that I scared my self out of the market.   It impossible to say how those two simple, but impactful blocks, held me back.  But I know that there was never any reason to struggle to begin with.

Its crazy to think that I would fight the very tools that most people use to make it easier to get there message across. But that was me. So with out even realizing it. I shut down opportunities because I didn't like what my site said about me.  I would talk about course ideas or things I wanted to create. But never actually created the.   I shut down ways that people could find the podcast because I was afraid to post online.

I was afraid that i couldn't handle more.  Which was the fastest way to NOT reach all my goals and desires that I constantly pray for. I was sabotaging my future self. When we are creating goals and sending out prayers for the things we are calling in. That's our future self. Why not make is easier to get there?

In todays episode, I go over the most common ways that we are sabotaging our future selves. The ways that we make things harder than they need to be because we are afraid.  The way that we glorify the struggle because its what everyone else is doing. Instead of embracing the next steps to bloom into the person we are wanting to be.

We are all either being influenced or influencing others. Scary right? Its so easy to go on our day and not realize that what we do, what we say and who we are has power.

I know that the last few episodes have been focusing on cleaning up our own metaphysical and emotional sides of the street. But, one area we haven’t talked about was what to do with all of the inputs that are coming our way.

The company culture, that you really don’t like, but didn’t know you started adopting. The way you treat your self in certain areas. The way you seem to keep having to “relearn” the same lesson over and over again. Its so easy to not see what is lending a hand to our bad habits.

My belief is that bad habits are just areas we don’t have a strong “muscle” in. Just like with any muscle, with a bit of working out, that too can be fixed.

More so, if we look at the bigger picture. Everything we do is influencing others as well. Both our good and bad habits are our silent megaphones as to what we feel is ok. What we are willing to put up with in life and what our standards look like.

So, instead of just letting these habits fester. Todays episode is how I teach you to identify the bad habit, and then shift it so that you can replace it something you actually choose.

That way what you are silently prompting is something that you can stand behind. Not the residue of someone else choices.

Ok, I know that my energetic minimum and maximum is one of my favorite episodes. But this it probably my second favorite I've ever recorded.

As always, It started with a single statement. I was listening to another podcast and hear the statement All roads lead to ….. Which quickly turned into my latest obsession's.

But this one statement. It was so powerful that I wrote it on our dry erase board. The one that we see every day. The one that motivates us and keeps us on track.

Almost nothing makes it to that dry erase board. Last year I only added 6 statements to it. And that still took half of the year to happen.

Im very intentional with the words and programing that I let into my subconscious.

But, I have noticed lately that I need something bigger than my goals for the year or even for the next 2-3 years. Even though those goals were helping me make massive progress. It still felt like I was juggling goals that didnt feel balanced and like they were working together.

I needed a mantra that could be a guiding point in my life. I needed a simple statement that I could use to always check to see if an opportunity would keep me on track. Or if it would be a fun, but pointless distraction. Which would eventually end with me regretting the lost time.

That is what I feel this statement has done for me.

So, that is exactly what this episode will do for you. Help you identify if a goal or opportunity move you forward towards that ultimate goal.

Burnout can be a sneaky thing. For me, I have gone through deep, soul sucking burn out two times in the last 10 years.  A burn out so deep that it took all my energy to get up and just show up for work.

Even that level of showing up was more body than soul.  And it got so bad that during both burn outs it took me months to fully recover back to my bubbly self.

But as I started to feel  burn out #3 kicking in, I read this quote in a romance novel. It basically said that its not the survival of the fittest, but instead survival of who adapts.  Which of of course got me thinking.

What if burnout wasnt required? Crazy, I know right.

Instead, what if it was my body's way of telling me that I wasnt adapting to my new reality. Which of course got me upset and wanting to play the martyr. That I was just not getting support, and that burnout is what everyone goes through.

When I started recognizing that is what my belief was. It got me to stop and start writing  a new belief system.

Im not longer available for burnout. Instead, when things get tough, overwhelming or too much to handle. I adapt.

So in todays episode, I take you in the series out questions that I used to recognize where I was at. AKA beginning burn out stage and lead you to the other end.  An off ramp away from crazy burnout ville.  Again, burnout is not required.

Have you been feeling the "calling" to go bigger? To show up and a bolder way?  To go after the thing that has been on your head, heart and pinterest board for a while now?

Or is it just me.  Lately I have been feeling this deep sensation that is almost pulling me forward. At first, I was reaching out to one of my besties and seeing if it was something in my astrology chart.

And while there a bigger calling in my stars, its more than that.  Last time I felt this feeling, within 4 months we sold our motorcycle shop and moved 3 hours south.  It was like hitting turbo boost on changing our lives for the better.

Of course it was scary to do something unknown. But I had also been cleaning out the clutter of my life while I was feeling this feeling.  I started saying no to things.  I donated and sold some old things around the house that no longer served us.  I let go of old ideas.  I did a TON of journaling to call in what I wanted. What I desired and dreamed of.  I made a new pinterest board to help me "see" what I wanted.  I made massive amounts of space of what ever was coming into our lives.

So, when this feeling came around again.  Instead of hiding from it, I got excited. I've officially dubbed this time as "Training time".  Im training my body, brain and abundance receptors to be ready for the next up leveling.

But of course, I didn't always have this level of confidence. Or heaven forbid, trust in myself that I could even handle the calling.  So, depending on where you are at.  I want to take you through the beginning steps that I used to feel comfortable when its easier to stay small.

That way, when the universe calls on you. You can show up and be ready for what ever comes your way.

I am always surprised when episodes seem to find there perfect timing. Todays episode is about developing unshakable faith in yourself.

Its so easy to get discouraged with everything that is changing right now. Gas is crazy expensive, we don't know what the new normal looks like. Housing and interest rates are like a mini roller coaster.

But through out all of this. I have faith. Not just faith in a job or in money or the economy. But in me.

• That I will always show up.
• That I will always do the work
• That I will always bring my A game

Because of that mindset, its lead me to opportunities, that on paper never should have happened.

I take you on the journey of developing my rock solid belief system to have faith in myself. That what ever habits I develop, I will bring them with me where ever I go.

Which means you can take my examples and use them to build up your own unshakable faith. It can be in money. It can be in your health. It can be in starting your side hustle.

Unshakable faith to me is building that foundation. That no matter what goes on in the world, you can always take care of yourself.

Which is the best part. Once it becomes a part of your foundation, then it truly does become a part of you. You cant lose it or miss place it. No one can take it from you. Over time it becomes a part of your soul. Which will be able to grow with you regardless of what's going on in the world.

For most of us, we have been going STRONG for the last two years.  Regardless of what your home and work life looked like. Or even how often it changed on you.  You stepped up to the change that we have collectively experienced. But we have gotten lost in the process.

I feel that we are collectively getting back into that burn our stage.

Which can be such a dark place that is hard to come back from. Every time I have been burnt out, it took an EQUAL amount of time to recover fully.  Which drove me nuts.

Being on/available all the time is not sustainable. Its perfectly fine when you have to switch on that skill in a crisis mode. But when its your default. Well, that is the fastest way to burnout.

Instead of getting to burn out, lets break the cycle.

Todays episode will teach you how to set boundaries that help keep you from burnout.  Where instead of setting boundaries on either our time or our obligations. I can give you practical examples of how to evaluate what is actually worth your time and what isn't.

Plus,  practical examples of learning how to say no around the feel that you always must be on.  Hint, it always starting with saying no.

Which means that the next time you sit down to reevaluate your goals or desires. You wont feel that you are the one getting lost while taking care of everyone/everything else.  Plus you will actually be able to identify/create pockets of time to work on those tasks that mean so much to you.

Todays episode took a lot of courage to publish.  I would never consider myself a jealous person. But, this was something that triggered the hell out of me.  I read a post on Instagram and hit angry and heartbreak in 2.5 seconds.

I was so upset.  It had me going into the bathroom and crying in the middle of a work day. Then slipped into a mini dark place for about a week while I was trying to process how this was affecting me.

Even though It took a few weeks longer than I was wanting to publish this episode. Im still committed to teaching you how to use everything that life throws at us to grow. Even when its painful.

Im going to teach you what to do when you are jealous of someone else's results.  Plus, get the journal prompts that I used to walk my self out of hurt, jealously and anger.

Which means that the next time you are triggered with a situation that is hitting every button you have. Its making you jealous, upset and sad that you don't have what the other person wants. You will know how to go from those emotions to peace, and possible action steps if they apply.

Here is to love and growth and more kindness for ourselves.

If I told you that you money mindset affected what your life looked like. Would you think I was crazy? Or would you be able to point to the times in your life that because of fear, you held back.

from asking for the raise, asking to get paid what your worth, admitting what you actually wanted but didn't believe that you could have.


Your money mindset will influence what opportunities you go after. Just as much as it will influence the positive and negative stories you tell yourself.
This weeks episode is the practical and the woo woo about updating your money mentality.
Im going to teach you how I uncovered old and unhelpful money mindset beliefs.


Your going to get to see some real life examples from the work that I've done in the last year. Which means that the next time you want to earn more, spend more, receive more, you wont fall into the same traps that I did. Aka you wont sabotage receiving money from a boss or a client.


I even go over an example that came up today around trusting my staff to do just as good of a job that I would. While I'm sharing the story, I break down what my mindset and thought process was this time last year. But more importantly, how its changed.

Do you ever turn down a tip or compliment? Do you ever downplay your abilities, or try and make sure that "everyone" gets the credit. Even though you did 80% of the work. If your not comfortable getting recognized, then your probably doing this with money too.


Its so easy to not see how these small actions are holding you back.
Todays episode walks you through the most common mistake we make trying to bring in more income.


Where are you not sharing your links for the products your selling? Where are you adding unnecessary steps for your customers to buy and follow you? How are you underplaying your successes at your day job?


How/why are you adding unnecessary friction so that there is something to hide behind. Which then reconfirms that you cant get paid more. Or even worst, that its hard to make more money.


If its not hard, then you didnt deserve it. That you can only get rewarded once you have worked or strived hard enough.


These are just some of the unconscious ways we make it hard for people to pay us.


All of these seemingly little actions are both your body and minds conscious and unconscious ways to turn away money. Most of the time we do things to sabotage money because it doesn't feel safe.


If money doesn't feel completely safe to you, then check out the resources to see which money course I recommend to start reprograming your brain. Once money feels safe, then its time to start removing the road blocks.


Its time to simplify the ways money can make it into your life. Its time to embrace any form of "automation" when it comes to making money. To take away the stigmatism that making money has to always be hard and take all this time. Its time to embrace abundance.

I don't know about you, but I'm still running high of new years goals and dreams vibes.  I'm paying attention to the action I'm taking and calling in that aligned action.

I had noticed that in last weeks podcast episode I neglected to dive into how to let go.  I believe that one of the big steps of calling in abundance is making room for what you want. I used this example in episode 51, but If there is no room on your plate, then its hard to handle the abundance.

But that can be super hard when you don't know how to make space.  All you know is that you want to go big, and achieve so bad. But somehow, your actions are not matching your words.  So I wanted to break this down ever further.  Its all about finding and paying attention to the canary in the coal mine signals. AKA, how to find where friction makes taking action harder than necessary.

This episode I give you tons of examples how see and learn the signs of when you are ready to move on.  Then I transition into the heart of the matter.

Recognizing how you are sabotaging your growth. Most of the time the easy answer is fear.  But again, instead of stopping there.  I help you find out why you are afraid to begin with.  Is it that your afraid that you cant handle the growth?  Are you afraid that its all just going to slip between your fingers like water?

Non of this has to be your reality.  Think of this episode as your YES, And guide.  Yes, you want growth. Yes, you deserve to create a life that you are happy with. ANNND, you can overcome the obstacles. You can finally let go of the baggage that's been holding you back. Its safe to have more of what you desire in your life.

I felt like there was a block for this episode. I couldn't seem to get into the groove for this one. I was struggling with my topic. While at the same time I was feeling a bit of mental fog. Which is crazy when you think about it. I have no problem talking and I always feel that each episode is divinely called in from above.

But yet, the fog persisted, both around this podcast episode and our income. I have been super clear for months now that I am going to show up, be willing to see and do things differently, and help our family double our income. But it was as if the steps were not coming to me.

I knew that logically I would have to add in additional income streams to our life that were not dependent on us being present to make this happen. I knew that I wanted to create merch and more courses this year to get all of these ideas out of my and my muses head. But it still felt like I was being held back.

That's when I realized that I needed to just keep cleaning. Cleaning has always been a therapeutic method that I have used to process what's going on. So during my last cleaning session. ( I spent 3+ hours organizing papers!!!) I had my AH HA moment.

All this cleaning was literally clearing the path way toward the new abundance I was calling in. In this episode I give you 2 big examples of what it looks like when you have called in abundance, but your body/life isn't ready to receive it yet.

Plus, we revisit my favorite, the universe café. And how to properly ask for what you want and make room for the things that you do want to show up.

Starting fresh always gets me excited.  I don't care if its a new start because of of the time of year, or because I've hit my goals.

There is something to be said for starting over.

Before I was aware of how intoxicating a new start was, I use to blow up my life over and over again.  Or even worse, I would set these small, baby goals. That way, I could "accomplish" a ton of stuff and have bragging rights.

But just like with anything else, three is an easy and timeless way to start fresh. And then there is the messy chaos way to do that.

Its so easy to fall into the patter that most of us are doing right now.  Its a new year, things are slowly getting better. So why not set some new goals.

Instead of just setting some vague goal of get healthier, sleep more or make more money. Ill teach you how to identify then focus on the big picture.

Once you can explain the big picture to me, preferably over a cup of coffee. ( So that I can hold you accountable. ) Then I'll walk you through how to identify the feeling that your chasing.  Feelings are the foundation to EVERYTHING.

If you don't have both the feeling and clear goal set. Then its just a bunch of unnecessary steps to get what you want.

That's were the long term timeless change comes from. I'll show you how to subliminal message your self to reprogram your brain. Yes, that means sticky notes, screen savers and even the story behind why I created audios that I listened to in my sleep.

Archiving Love Course

Love is everything to me.  Its a part of my foundation. Its required in my daily life. Its what fuels me during the good and bad.

If you had asked me years ago, why I kept all these memories of our life. I would have told you for our future kids.  But the reality is that each birthday card, photo, video or memento is a way for me to walk back in time.

Its my version of a memory palace and can instantly transport me into that wonderful memory. It can help me relive the love.

Needless to say Archiving Love is a foundational course for me. Its more than just storing photos and videos easily.

It the only way I can listen to my grandmothers voice on a voice mail I saved from her. It a watch that can tell me the time. But also bring back the late night car ride home conversations that I had with my madrina (godmother) before she passed.

It's a photo of me and one of my babies when I was sixteen years old and seeing if I could get Angel to climb a wall on photo.

These memories mean everything to me. Archiving them is like being able to preserve parts of my soul. I am who I am because of my experiences and the love that is abundant in my life.

I will always be forever grateful that  I had the foresight to preserve these memories. My desire is to help you do the same.

Todays episodes is all about limitless possibilities.  This is the perfect second to last episode to close out 2021. Instead of doing the traditional vision board party. I wanted to end this year with a deep dive into what has held you back this year.

Was it lack of resources? Lack of time or money to grow? Or was it fear that you were growing too big, too fast and it caused you to pull back on your dreams?

Not, so random farmer wisdom. Did you know that plants, when living in too small of a container will do one of two things.  They will either become root bound and literally curl themselves into a ball to fit the "container" they are in.  Or they will bust through the walls that are holding them back and grow as big as they want.

Our desires and limiting beliefs are the same thing. We can either be "root bound" and curl back into ourselves to stay small. To fit into the crowd or normal that surround us. To not rock the boat.

Or we can lean into the beliefs that limitless possibilities are out there. And, maybe we don't even need a container anymore to fit into. That maybe its safer to never fit back into a container again. Instead to grow as big as we want, as fast as we want.

Nature is one of my favorite teachers. Both scenarios above are true. I currently dealing with that on the farm. About half of our plants need to be massively up potted because they are busting out of there current homes. While the other half are content to sit there and not grow.

Take todays episode and journal prompts and use it as a way to stop holding yourself back.  Your futures elf will thank you.

Its so easy to feel that your in a fog. That your stuck and not moving fast enough. To get frustrated that your dream is still out of reach. Or even worse, you keep doing things but they never seem to be the things that move you forward in life.

You talk about the goal and the five year plan. You get all excited that this weekend is going to be the ONE. You will magically have enough time and even be able to BEND time to get everything that you want done.

Then the weekend comes and you realize that you have been burning it at both ends. So you end up sleeping more that you realized. Which leaves you feeling refreshed, but still frustrated since sleep didn't help your todo list shrink.

Hell, you create content and things and stuff. But you never seem to bring in money. You might even have a PayPal button up or too. But something keeps sabotaging you from going from idea to income. Yes, you follow other people on Instagram or Facebook, and they inspire you. But they also leave you feeling like something is wrong. That if they can do it, what's wrong with you?

Why does it feel like your in quicksand and no one else is? What are they doing that you are not?

This feeling was perfect timing, because the night I recorded the podcast, I was feeling stuck as hell. That's why I wanted to take you into the heart of my practice of what I do when I feel stuck. I was frustrated that my dream had hit a wall. I couldn't feel that next level. It was to blurry and messy feeling.

Which frustrated the hell out of me because I could easily feel into my next income level and knew that I was open and ready for more. But instead of staying in that energy and vibe, I moved my self out of it. I only was "stuck" for about 2 hours, not days or even weeks as my life went by.

Just like everything I do, I truly believe that there is a physical and spiritual practice to moving energy. Its the other side of manifesting. You need to see it and feel it, to bring it into realty.

That's why todays episode even includes 2 different meditations that I use to clear energy from my body and my home. No sage or crystals required. Use the journal prompts, clear the space, bring the new desires into reality.

If you had asked me 10+ years ago if I would feel comfortable making money outside of my job.  I would have laughed at you.

I have had a job since I was 13 years old. ( My dad was smart enough to make a photo copy of my first check for me. ) While I always knew that I had a good, strong work ethic.  I could said with such confidence and a bit of swag that I always could make money through good paying jobs.

I couldn't sell things or "side hustle" to save my life.  Like it was BAD.....  So before I was ready. Ben decided that he was going to make me a selling machine and I use those skills each day now.

Having the ability to sell has served me much more than to help get ride of the clutter around our home. Especially after we binge watch Hoarders on Netflix.

It has give me the ability to change over into a complete different industry.  Negotiate multiple jobs and salaries and even our mortgage when we bought our last home.

But of course I wasnt born selling. I had to start small.  I was actually on a girls night out about a week ago and I was having a convo with one of my friends.  While she is no novice. There really is a difference between selling for someone else and selling for your self.

We talked monetization on all levels, so that she could start getting paid today.  Standardizing her work and making "templates" and even went into my latest methods of outsourcing. That way I can "be everywhere at once".

While these more advance strategies are great for a gal that has been selling for a bit.  I was reminded that not long ago, that conversation would have been over my own head.  So todays episode, I take it wayyy back and break down the true first baby steps of what it takes to start a side hustle.

On November 11th, I celebrated 13 years of marriage with my amazing husband. If you dont know my story, Ben and I got married right out of highschool. Yes, we are that highschool sweetheart couple you always hear about.

We were 19 & 20 when we got married. So there was a lot of growth that needed to happen fast to make this marriage healthy from the start . We also chose to not have the typical 20's experience, going off to live on campus for 4 years, then going into the work force.

Instead, less than seven months after getting married, we were buying a house. Plus, we were already working full time jobs before we even got married. Since there were so few role models that we could mimic to build healthy habits. We chose to learn by trail and error, plus psychology books on how to effectively communicate.

We had to learn how to not have passive aggressive conversations. But instead follow the rule of saying something nice or nothing at all. How to be clear as possible on what we want and where we are willing to bend. Plus communicate were we are feeling supported and where you are not. All the while, juggling full time college and work schedules with our marriage.

Over the years we have developed 4 key pillars that have kept our relationship strong. These skills are what I use to communicate with my friends, coworkers and customers too . Like with everything else I teach, its timeless work.

Have you ever felt that desperate, sticky energy when you were trying to manifest something you wanted?

You would start out feeling so hopeful and excited. Then after a few hours, weeks, months, when things were going slower than you wanted. You would start getting into your head.

Once you were in your head, its so much harder to get back to that excited and clear energy of what your trying to achieve. If you were able to get back out of your head, then it would be like a vicious circle.

Hopeful, excited, nervous, looking for validation, fear, then start the journey all over again.

There is a next level way to manifest things into your life. But just like with anything else, its a muscle that you need to build. It's not that this muscle takes a certain amount of time to get strong.

Instead it's all about how often you use this muscle. Just like a pro athlete, the more you work and focus, the faster the results come.

The secret? You have to pay attention to the push and pull of desire.

Desire is one of the easiest ways to get a clear picture of what you want and what you don't want. It can be little things, like how your body reacts to something. Or it can be that secret wish list that keeps going in in the back of your head.

Getting next level clear is the name of the game. You have to be clear on what is being pushed or pulled out of you. Because if not, then your results will be mixed, frustrated and messy. The universe wont know how to show up and give you want you want.

In todays episode I give you two super clear and somewhat funny examples how to collapse time faster. Plus practical action steps to get back on track and manifest faster.

https://bit.ly/3GEPAzB

When you think about who you are, what do you picture? Do you picture words or images? For years, I focused on becoming stronger woman, that could handle everything.

So I surrounded myself with words that made me feel something powerful. Part of my belief systems is that your words matter and become your building blocks.

I have spent years talking to my subconscious mind, programing it to be the person I always wanted to become. Hence the obsession with words.

But then, the words stopped working. I felt that the words were me thinking to small. Then I pictured this beautiful lighthouse in the middle of a raging storm. Shining her light calmly and always being there, for herself and others.

I wanted to not be the tug boat, bouncing around in the storm anymore. I wanted to become the light house.

See for me, the light house is a metaphor that I have been using to be that next level calm and consistent person. No matter what is going on around me.

Of course, I go over a few different ways to achieve that lighthouse strength and vibe. I also give you a few book recommendations to help guide the way.

Oh boy. Full moons make for a super spicy episode! I was reading my friends newsletter about things getting released and brought up to the surface during the full moon. Mannnnn, she was right! I was on fire!

In this episode I teach you how to say no. But with love, of course. There is a true difference between standing up for yourself and being rude. I even give you a few killer catch phrases that you can use in "almost" any example as well.

Most people believe that saying no is the end of a conversation. I don't view it that way. Instead, I look at saying no as part of a negotiation. Most of the time people say no and then go silent. While no can be its own sentence. I've found that its better to offer a different solution or resource when saying no. Its all about the pivot.

People at work and family are coming to you for a reason. It might be because they have learned to rely unnecessarily on you. Or it might be that they don't realize that what they are asking from you is crossing a boundary. So instead of always saying yes and getting bitter, why not propose a solution that works for both of you.

I go over how to say no at work. Saying no to family and saying no to yourself. You might think that self care would be on this list. But when we are always taking care of others. We need to be mindful of how we can take care of ourselves and bring our full, sparkly personality to the table. Instead of becoming a bitter and resentful person.

I also have over 7 different journal prompts to truly uncover what is stressing you out. Then give you guidance on how to solve the root of the problem.

https://bit.ly/3FKmU7P

Todays podcast is all about the pivot!  What the heck pivoting actually is and how to implement it in your day.

I have a radical belief system.  I'm the fricken Queen of pivoting.  Our running family joke is that we might not be the smartest person in the room. But we can out pivot and get to our goal faster than anyone.

Instead of getting stuck on the way to new goal. Once I'm locked into what I want, I train my brain to become an unstoppable force. I have it know that I always achieve my goals years faster then I set out to.

So, when I ran into a perfect example of what pivoting would look like in the real world, I knew it had to share it.

I go over examples of creating my new course, structuring sales packages and talk ALOT about trees and Wi-Fi.

Most people don't realize that pivoting is a good thing that gets you to your goal faster. Plus, what about the thought process that work isn't hard and free time isn't bad.

Of course there are journal prompts to help you take your own experience and turn it into change too.

Do you feel frustrated that you keep grinding and doing all these "things" but your not getting the results that you want. You keep journaling and leaning into the feeling of where you want to be. You keep showing up and affirming to the universe that THIS is where you want to be. THIS is where you desire to transform your life to reflect.

And, everyone tells you to go do the work. To take action or just hustle harder. To work longer hours, because that's what it takes to be successful. Its all about grit.

But you secretly don't either know what that is. Heck, you dont even know what doing the work means.
You can talk about all these woo woo words and statements. But, if you had to pitch your idea to a friend or business partner, they would look at you like your crazy. They cant understand what your actually doing.

Worst yet, you have this sinking feeling that your doing all the wrong thing. So you just keep doing the busy work, so that at least your doing something.

In this episode I go over 3 different type of examples (work, personal, side hustle ) that you can use to shift. Plus an example of a girl starting a knitting business. I help take that feeling that you are chasing and turn it into actual actionable steps. Make sure to listen to Susan's story, its pretty epic.

Of course there are journal prompts to help you take your own experience and turn it into change too. Stop doing the busy work and start doing the work that moves you forward in life.

Have you noticed lately that you keep running into the same mistakes as you did in the past? That you keep creating the same money and time issues? Does it feel a little bit like ground hogs day?

Are you as tired of not making progress on that goal, because it feels like you keep starting from the beginning. Which you are so over doing. You signed up for growth in this life, not standing still.

In todays episode, I dive into how to identify what is keeping you from hitting that next level of success. Plus, the real reason why we abandon the tools that made us successful in the first place.

I walk you though examples of how to get your weight, money and ability to outsource back on track. This episode also builds on my previous one on outsourcing too. That way you can grow your success over and over again, instead of starting from scratch.

I even walk you through how to overcome your own ego. How standing up yourself isn't bad, and show you how to do it with love. This episode is filled with timeless principles and I cant wait for you to dive in.

Maintenance gets a bad rap. We are brainwashed that its wrong and hard to maintain something we desire or crave. But, its so funny, because maintenance is how I've made my living for the past few years.  We are taught that there is nothing sexy about maintaining our bodies, cars, houses or relationships.

That if its work, then we are doing something wrong.  Hell, depending on what Facebook group your in, work the new curse word. Instead, everything should just click naturally. God forbid if things are not flowing and are full of grace. You would have to have something wrong with you.

Because, when it doesn't flow, then your not in alignment or on the right path. Well in todays podcast I'm going to challenge that myth that there is something wrong with maintenance. I also talk about one of my favorite books, The compound effect.

I'll take you into my view point of what makes maintenance "hard", and how to fix that.  Then show you the magic that is maintenance and how it really can improve your life.

Ill go into my belief around who she is in the podcast more. But know that for me:

Today's podcast episode goes into the nitty gritty of How I elevated into overflow. And yes, I teared up a bit sharing my story. I knew that I was capable of so much more than I give myself credit for. I was here to create, to share my gifts with the world, and to make a damn fine living in the process.

But my mindset around money was messy. I was a hard worker, but could never KEEP any of it. I was always end up with a big bill or expense that would wipe us back out to scratch.

I’ve talked about how Ben was always the person who got us out of jams. But I was tired of always putting the pressure on him. I couldn’t weld or do side hustles like him. My ebay and craigslist game back in the day was weak. But what I alway felt more comfortable with was earning around a traditional 9-5 job. So I worked my ass off to change my mindset that I could get better paying jobs. That I could get side gigs that would pay me well.

I knew that I was my biggest obstacle, I was done with holding myself back. Taking Amanda’s course helped me realize that I had some pretty low standards when it came to money. I always felt that I couldn’t handle it properly. So I change my mindset. My mantra for that last 3 years has been.

>> I’m great with money, and what I don’t know, I hire someone to teach me.<<

Thats where Amanda came in. Here videos, which I truly do STILL play over and over. They helped me recognize my limiting beliefs around money. They gave me amazing journal prompts to see what what holding me back and helped TEACH ME how to fix them. They also helped me understand what my energetic minimums and maximums are.

But more so than anything. She gave me the TOOLS so that I could fix my money beliefs and use them to always grow my income. The tools that I was using 3+ year ago, are still the same tools that I use today. The only difference is that the numbers have changed.  I still set unrealistic goals around money. But now I have the tools to actually take action, get out of my own way and turn my goals into hard cash.

Could I have change my money mindset without these videos? Sure. But it would have taken, like 5x a long and caused a lot of heartache in the process. When we want to lose weight, we go to the gym. When we want to further our career, we get certifications or go to school. When we need a procedure done, we go to a doctor. When we want to buy food, we go to the grocery. All over our lives we are constantly paying people to do things we cant or wont do.

I don’t believe it has to be different when it comes to money. I was ready and willing to see things differently and make more money than I knew what to do with. So I “hired” Amanda as my money coach through her videos. They truly changed my life for the better.

Its ok to manifest your desires, and dream big. But what most people won't admit to is that they are doing the really big stuff afraid. Shocking right??? 

So that blogger that you admire from afar, she is launching and selling while afraid.  That person you admire in the gym? Yup same, they started out afraid and probably didn't know what machines to workout on to get the best bang for their buck. But what they dont admin (most of the time) is the actual steps they use to to manifest their desires WHILE being afraid. 

Being afraid doesn't meant sitting on your hands and doing nothing.  Sometimes it means that you need support. Sometimes it means that you just are not clear on you goals. And sometimes it just means that you need to take inspired action to move through the fear. 

In this episode, I go through the steps I use to always manifest the things that I want, regardless of being afraid.

I'm so excited to publish the first episode of 2021! You might not know this, but that was the first time I had EVER talked about how I broke arm. Yea, don’t get me wrong. I’ve told extended family and close friends that story.

But, I haven’t told anyone else the FULL story. Including the back story of how Ben use to bail us out of tight spots. I definitely didn’t tell anyone about how I use to Uber or cut grass to try and bring in extra money.

Plus I give out the detail about my "secret launch"

I have always struggled with being to private of a person. I joke all the time that I remember life before the internet and that awful sound that dial up use to make as a kid. (BTW I'm only 32, but still). This launch is taking me so far outside of my comfort zone in regards to sharing HOW I GOT HERE, that its crazy.

But with the INTENSE time we all have been going through the last year.  I couldn't  just stand by any longer and do nothing.  I felt called to show up and open up my team and skills to show others how to make money thats not tied to a traditional job.

So get ready to listen to me (and Holley) talk about EVERYTHING.  Ive missed you all so much.

I knew that I couldn't do everything myself. But Instead of taking advantage of the help that I was offered from employees and family.  I would just give them bullshit tasks and keep the "bigger" ones for myself. I liked the big wins and looking like I could manage a ton of things on my own.

What eventually happened is that my tasks became too much and I started making stupid mistakes because I was juggling too much on my own.

So when I was ready to shift around this idea.  I did what I do best and linked it to money. If you have listened to any of my podcast episodes or read any of my blogs. You know that I love making money and believe that we truly can never have enough. So i started thinking why not use this as a tool to make me even more money and not just as a way to pacify people that I was not taking it all on.

I deeply believe that we suck at focusing on the true purpose of delegating.

Most people focus on delegating one-time tasks.  That doesn't move you forward in life. Instead, focus on delegating tasks that make you money over and over again.

So of course in this episode, I give you tons of business and personal examples of how you can use this in your life.  I even give you access to the story about how I learned to delegate the hard way.

Its time that you learn to use delegating how I am, as a resource that you can use in all areas in your life to make you money.

I've talked about my favorite question a few times.  What would this look like if it was easy?  Well in today's episode I'm going to take you to the next level of that question.

Am I sabotaging the support and income opportunities that's currently trying to come into my life?

You might be wondering why I'm talking about support and income when I'm trying to make your life easier? Well, when most of us move over to our next level we start to hit that magical upper limit of success ceiling.   For some people, it's all about being the only person that can do it all.  And, therefore never taking any help.

For others, it can be that we make things super messy when it comes to earning extra income. But both ways of sabotaging comes down to one simple thing.  We don't believe it can be easy and that we have to struggle.  So since we're used to struggling, we find a new way to make our life hard again.

Today episode goes even future into that mindset and how to get out of your own way.  Along with the journal prompts below to help you change your mindset faster and make things less messy.

Have you ever wondered why there are just some people that seem to get it "all" done?  That they have everything always flowing for them and they never miss a beat?

Well unless those people have like a million personal assistants, they are doing something different than you.  Here is there secret.  They are only doing the 20% that gets results and they delegate the rest.

So before you come at me with pitchforks, that life is possible.  But you have to get really clear on what your 20% looks like.  And, I'm here to break it to you that most of the time we are not doing the 20% that why our results or 80% is not what we want.

In today's episode, I go over a ton of examples of getting your 20% when it comes to relationships, saving for a home, work, and even your health. Plus you have the journal prompts below to apply this to your own life.  And after listening to this podcast. If you want to dive deeper, I linked up to one of my favorite books below that I read and reread about every other year to take my own life to its next level.

In today's episode, I talk about taking an existing skill you have and breaking through the block that is preventing you from getting paid for that skill. My belief is that we all have a set of skills that we take for granted. But what I don't understand is why can't we get paid for it?  What do we have to make getting paid so hard?

Most of you have a skill that has you already 80% of the way there? Why not get paid for it? This is where most of you would answer me that earning money cant be easy or you don't deserve it.  But I would challenge you to see if that's ultimately true?  Does making money have to be hard?

Also, not all skills have to replace your fulltime income.  It's ok to have a skill that only brings in a few hundred dollars a month.  It's better to start small and make some type of extra income instead of none at all.  Now, if you are already making money and want to make your life easier.  That's where someone like me comes in.

Being a business clarity coach, it's my JOB to take the skills you have right now +  the income you are creating and make your life even easier.  I do that by helping you create funnels and systems to standardize your processes.  That way you can serve more people,  not get burnt out in the process, and make more wealth at the same time.

Today's episode goes even deeper into everything I just talked about above. Here is to making your life easier and more wealthy even during a pandemic.
