I remember I had one client who joked with me, “If after a year working with you I can get my plane, I’ll know it was worth it.” Guess what happened one year later. You see, after working with business owners and executives for the past 5 years, I’ve seen a direct correlation between the amount of money a person is making and the amount of time they are spending in their zone of genius.

Watch out, because I’ve got a bone to pick (and yeah, it’s because I picked it raw and real in the first 1.5 years in my business.)You see, back then I was doing all the things - blogging, photoshoot, website design, creating products (that no one wanted), investing in tech, like, everything...Except for making money.My husband even had a joke back then, that I couldn’t get 15 minutes into a Netflix show without whipping open my computer and getting to work.Fast forward till now...And I just finished watching 2 glorious hours of Ancient Aliens...sans computer, and sans baby.I enjoyed every single second of it. No laptop. No phone. No kiddo even (he was in school.) Conquer your fears and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
It boggles my mind when I see this come up in business - stealing customers. Gasp! Oh no, say it ain’t so! And not in a “How could someone do that to someone else?” No, no, no… It’s in a “how can someone think it’s even possible to “steal” a client?” Like, do you own them? Are you their master? And are they your slave? Because dear Lord, if we head down that road, we’re headed for trouble. Discover a mindset of abundance and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
It is because I am direct with you and a straight shooter that I care about you. Let your YES mean YES, and your “No” mean “No.” One of the commitments I work to live by is… If it’s not a ‘HELL YES’” - meaning a jump up in the air, OMG-I-am-so-excited, dance-my-ass-off-EEEEEEEEEEEEK-Yipee - than it’s a “no.” This was a hard-fought lesson when I was a people-pleasing, please-everyone-love-me, addict’s daughter with daddy issues, but as I started to listen more to my soul, my heart, and trust my gut, and believe in myself more, I saw that me sacrificing my soul to please others served NO ONE. So I stopped. And I started saying “Yes” only to what I thought was 100% aligned. And, sure, sometimes, telling a friend a “no” or a client a “no” or telling a customer a “no” feels kinda crappy… at the moment. When I told my Pilates clients that I had to close my studio (aka a “no” to training them anymore), it felt sooooo freaking hard. I loved my clients. Some I’d been working with for nearly a decade. But, at the cost of my soul? Or my mission? Or my dreams? TOTALLY WORTH IT. And actually, for my clients who became coaching clients, it actually ended up serving them MORE than just a good workout - it changed their life! That’s what happens when you say YES to your soul, and “no” to the things that are not in alignment with your highest and best. Because your highest and best, is also everyone else’s highest and best, and it’s inspiring them to also live in their highest and best, which is inspiring others to live in their highest and best.
