It can be—when you’re using it as fuel to create more of what you want. Willpower is tricky because it keeps you in the game, but it can be difficult to see when you’re playing for the wrong team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures up what you intend to create, it can also be a spell that holds you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for...
What Really Happens When You Attend a Rich Litvin Intensive…
It’s quickly becoming a tradition to pull out my lap top on the flight home from a Rich Litvin Intensive to sift through the weekend. This year, my reflection will be different. Putting transformation to words is difficult. This is heart transformation, not head. Unlike last year, I didn’t go to the Rich Litvin Intensive to be a participant. I went to the Rich Litvin Intensive to be on the leadership team, which is made up of the source team and the coaching team. As a member of the source team, I volunteered to work behind-the-scenes to ensure that the event ran smoothly, while also offering support to the coaches,...
The #1 Mindset Hack for Making Your Dreams a REALITY
Identifying what you want in life and business is easy.Making your dreams a REALITY is an entirely different story. How do you reconcile the two? There was a particular day four years ago—October 1st, 2013 to be exact—when the U.S. government was forced to shut down, and all of the national parks were closed until further notice. While this typically wouldn’t be an issue, that day, it was. It just happened to be the day my best friend and I were leaving to go on our eight week road trip across the U.S. Our intention was to visit all of the national parks 🙈 From the moment we decided to...
6 Signs You’re On the Other Side of a Major Shift
What happened? Not long ago, you were lit up by your work and your ideas. You were taking action and thriving. You were dreaming BIG and creating. And then, you weren’t. Excitement and possibility took a hard brake and you were catapulted into a black hole of exhaustion and smallness. Now you’re trying to find your way out because 1.) it’s uncomfortable and 2.) you know you’re meant for more. I totally get it. And actually, for how uncomfortable and confusing it is, you’re in the best place you can be. Even though you can’t see it yet, magic is afoot and pretty soon, you’re going to blast out of...
3 Powerful Insights From a Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive
Before we left the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive to go back to our lives, and a world that didn’t expand like we did, Rich encouraged us to sit with our experiences and insights—to keep them to ourselves and let them shift how we show up in the world. He encouraged us to let people feel our expansion, rather than talk about it. While I have every intention of honoring his wisdom, I also know myself well enough to know that my expansion integrates more deeply from turning around and teaching. While I can’t possibly fit the magnitude of what I experienced at the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive into a single...
Intuition: The Best Tool to Manifest More Success
I was speaking with a client last week about her discomfort with the need to prove herself. For much of her career, she’s felt the drive to continuously learn and gain more knowledge so that she can appear as a true expert. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing—I was curious about the motivation behind her drive to learn. What was it? As we dove deeper into the conversation, she told me a story about a fellow colleague who had avoided a serious and dangerous incident with one of his clients before it went sideways. I asked her how her colleague had caught the incident. Her answer was where the...
4 Subconscious Hacks to Manifest More Success
Contrary to popular belief, manifesting is not an entirely spiritual process. One of the things that sets my approach to manifesting apart is that I’m both spiritual, as well as practical. Do I believe in the Universe and its energy? Yes.Do I believe that manifestation solely occurs because of the Universe and its energy? No. As a student of Psychology, I’ve always been curious about how the mind works and believe me when I say this, the mind plays a major role in what we manifest. Mike Dooley said it best when he coined “thoughts become things.“ When you have a clear thought about something you want to create in...
How I Manifested My First $5K Month & It’s Not What the Gurus Are Telling You
This is a momentous moment. I feel it so deeply. Right down to the marrow in my bones. Celebration, gratitude, awe, happiness, magic—all of it. I almost can’t believe it, but at the same time, I really can. After all, I worked for this. For 20 months before this moment, I worked for this. And I finally did it: I manifested my first $5K month! [$5K cash in the bank, not projected sales]. Wow. The iconic $5,000 month. The money goal that every new or struggling entrepreneur seems to strive for. The kind of money goal that makes financial freedom feel attainable. The kind of money goal that blesses you...
How to Use the Know Like Trust Factor to Succeed in Business
If you’re a business owner, I want you to think back to the first sale you ever made. I’m willing to bet that the sale was to a friend or family member, someone you built a solid relationship with, or someone who received a high recommendation for your services or product. What do all of these things have in common? Something called KLT or the Know Like Trust Factor. While I can’t claim this term as my own, I first discovered it when I dove into the world of marketing. It’s also something that comes so naturally to me, that I didn’t even realize how I masterful I was at...
