Your Definition of Success: Is it Helping or Hindering the Success of Your Business?

$5,000 PER MONTH. This was my definition of success when I first opened my business. If I didn’t make $5,000 within my first month, I was a failure. So after booking seven sales conversations and receiving a “no” from every potential client, I was left with a whopping $0 earned and the belief that I was a complete and utter failure. It didn’t take much to fall into a deep, dark hole of entrepreneurial despair. Instead of focusing on the fact that I had booked SEVEN sales conversations, I focused on the lack of sales and clients. This created so much fear and doubt that when the next month came...

4 Subconscious Hacks to Manifest More Success

Manifestation, Business

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 You Keep Self-Sabotage Alive & What You Can Do to Heal It

Uncategorized

For most of my life, I’ve avoided anything to do with managing money. I distinctly remember resisting my Dad’s attempts to teach me about budgeting, about the stock market, about taking out loans, about doing taxes. And if you asked me why I was so resistant, I wouldn’t have had an answer for you—that is, up until recently. Up until I was doing my own deep mindset work and I uncovered a belief that I bought into a long time ago. The belief that money equals pain. A belief that formed as I witnessed my parents occasionally fight about money. A belief that formed as I witnessed my Dad’s anxiety...

How Not to Live Your Life {Unless You Want to Be Successful AND Free}

Travel

Today, I’m writing to you from a cute little coffee shop in North Conway. The sky is bright and clear. The air is crisp and freshly fallen leaves blanket the sidewalks. The colors are unreal. Brilliant yellows. Blazing reds. Bright oranges. Being so far from home, tucked away before sweeping mountain views, I can’t help but revel in how grateful I am for my life. For where I am in this exact moment. It was only three years ago that I was a tiny spec on the map of America, puttering my way through the lush beauty of the state of Oregon on the road trip that would change my...

How to Activate Your Personal Power in 3 Steps

Uncategorized

During the transition from July to August of this year, something shifted within me. Similar to how a switch flips on and fills a room with light, a switch flipped on within me and activated a part of my personal power that was previously persisting in darkness. When I finally raised my coaching fees, in many ways, I stepped up my game, but none more powerful than in my coaching itself. It’s hard to describe the exact shift that occurred, but what I do know is that I became fearless. What I do know is that I started to trust my intuition and my uncanny ability to make connections. What...

How I Manifested My First $5K Month & It’s Not What the Gurus Are Telling You

Business, Manifestation

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...

The Art of Receptivity: How to Do Less to Manifest More Success

Manifestation, Business

“Life is a dance between making it happen & letting it happen.“-Arianna Huffington The sun is bright. The sky is pale blue and cloudless. I’m tapping away at my laptop outside of a local Starbucks, completely grounded and filled to the brim with awe. If I look at my life, everything I’ve been dreaming of is taking physical form. I’m practicing the art of receptivity. I’ve risen my dreams from the ground, like Queen Elsa and her magnificent castle of ice. I feel the power in my finger tips. And I’m leaning into this power more than I ever have before without driving myself into the ground; without working myself...

How to Stop Sabotaging Success

Business, Manifestation

Operating in the depths of your subconscious mind is a matrix of programming that rules you. This matrix rules the way you think, the way you feel, and the way you act. While it may seem like you’re in complete control of how you operate, this isn’t always the case. So, how does this matrix form and how do you work with it to stop sabotaging success? Fundamentally, humans are hardwired for survival. As you grow up and experience the world around you, you learn what thoughts, feelings, and actions WORK—what keeps you alive—and then, with repetition, what works gets programmed into the subconscious mind. Some life experiences foster a...

How to Manifest A Successful Business Easily and Effortlessly

Manifestation, Business, Travel

There was once a moment in time where I almost gave up on my business. I questioned if I was really meant to be a coach.Every time I was about to get on a call, I felt so much resistance.Everything about coaching felt hard. And not to mention, I didn’t have any paying clients. Every time I launched an offer, I was greeted with the sound no entrepreneur wants to hear: crickets. I needed a miracle if I was going to manifest a successful business. While I waited for my miracle to occur, I turned my attention to writing and creating products. I went to a retreat in Bali to...

3 Practices to Move Through an Ebb in Productivity

Business

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”-Lao Tzu Rhythms. Cycles. Seasons. Can we take a hint from nature about an ebb in productivity? Contrary to popular belief, we are not meant to be “ON” all the time in order to be successful and bank the fruits of our efforts. We’re meant to live rhythmically, like the beat of a heart.We’re meant to cycle, like the push and pull of ocean tides.We’re meant to experience seasons—like spring when seeds are sown, or winter, when a deep freeze is necessary. The belief that we need to be productive all the time in order to be successful is simply a deeply conditioned...
