Tennis Mind

Sometimes the mind plays a tennis match with itself.

I can do this/No I can’t.

Money comes easily/Money is hard.

It’s already done/I should give up.

Back and forth again and again.

That’s normal. That’s human.

But if you practice the helpful thoughts more, they’ll get stronger and louder.

The tennis player who practices the most will win.

Just Do the Thing

You know exactly what you need to do.

Do it.

Music Shifts Everything

I had one of those days today where no matter how hard you try, things just don’t seem to go smoothly.

And then I put on a song.

And it was like everything changed. Suddenly I could focus, suddenly I could create again.

It was the quickest identity shift ever.

Reminder

Just a reminder in case you need it (because I do).

How are you making this harder than it needs to be? How can you simplify it all?

Brain Power

Every once in a while I realise how potent my mind actually is.

I mean I know it controls everything. But then there are those days when I know it controls everything.

It sinks in deeper.

Like, oh wait. I can actually control my world by changing how I think about it.

What a spectacular brain we get to live in.

My Self Concept is My #1 Priority

I’m the most hyped person you’ll ever meet.

I have got NO chill.

My inner world is an action movie packed with aviator sunglasses and slow-mo explosions.

I spend hours upon hours every week just BEING the future me.

Sometimes instead of working, I just dance in my kitchen like I’m Britney’s backup dancer. Okay, who am I kidding? Like I AM Britney.

My self-concept is my #1 priority.

Because the way we see ourselves is EVERYTHING.

When I think I'm a boss, I can hit any goal I set myself. Thousands of group members. A full list of clients. 50 push ups. 600 days of blogging.

When I think I suck (which I never let myself think for more than a fleeting accidental moment) everything turns pear-shaped.

I used to think I was just wasting time daydreaming about my future self.

Now I know it’s THE most important part of my day.

Because acting as if you're already the future you brings them closer.

Until you're so good at acting like them, one day you realize that you ARE them.

Some of the ways I step into being her:

• Listening to high vibe music (Have you listened to the DJ Impossible Girls Playlist yet?! Y’all are adding SO many bangers!)

• Journaling on what I believe and do now that I am her.

• Doing everyday tasks with her energy. How does she eat breakfast? How does she do the dishes?

• Wearing items that make me feel like her. Nothing gives me that “I run an empire” feeling like putting on matching underwear.

Your future self is already within you.

Your only job is to create space for them to come alive.

The Most Powerful Belief

The most powerful belief you can hold for your goal is this: It’s working.

When you’re in “IT’S WORKING” energy, your brain will look for all the ways that it's totally true.

Finding evidence for why it's working reinforces to your brain, “Hey, I can actually do this.”

And from there, you'll feel pumped up to take even more action, and you'll find more ways for it to work.

It’s an upward spiral.

It’s working for my client Madison who just celebrated signing 7 clients and hitting $2605 in 6 weeks as a graphic designer.

It’s working for my client Daphne who just signed her second client as a coach for dog parents. (Yes, you read that right.)

It’s working for my client Julia who received another paid freelance writing offer today.

It’s working for my client Danja who signed $1000 of work as a copywriter and her first paid speaking gig today.

It’s working for my client Sharon who just closed 4 collaborations on her Instagram this month.

It's working for my client Rosalind who just got the opportunity to submit her book directly to one of the biggest publishers in the world.

They all know I've been obsessively reminding them:

It’s working.

Why is your goal is TOTALLY working, even if it hasn't happened yet?

How to Think About Social Media Content

Thoughts not to think about your content:

• I only got 6 likes

• I can’t post too much or I’ll annoy people

• I don’t want to bother people

• I need to post at a certain time

• I don’t want to be salesy

• What will my Great Aunt Elizabeth think if she sees this?

• I don't know what to say

• I've run out of content

• Any sentence that includes the word “algorithm”

Thoughts to definitely think about your content:

• Someone is waiting for my next post

• Anything I post will work

• Everything I create will be valuable to someone

• I don’t want anyone to miss out on the amazing thing I’m offering

• Someone checked to see if I had posted something the moment they woke up this morning

• People LOVE what I say/create

• People get excited when they see a notification from me

• Far more people are connected to me than I realise

• People are sending my content to their friends

• I know exactly what to say

• Everything I think about could be content

• No one does what I do the way I do it

• Woah, 6 likes?! That's a lot! Imagine if all of those people were in my living room! We’d have to borrow chairs from the neighbours!

A Goal You Almost Hit

Tell me about a goal you ALMOST hit but didn’t... and how you feel about it.

Mine:

I almost become the television host of Bravo TV. I was devastated at the time, but so grateful I didn’t get it now that I look back (I may never have found out how much I love coaching).

Money & Sleep

“Money isn’t important to me, I just want to help people.”

Girl, that’s like saying “SLEEP isn’t important to me, I just want to help people.”

Whether we like it or not, we need both of them to function.

The more we get, the better quality of life we live, and the more we can help others.

Ever tried to help someone out of a crisis after pulling an all-nighter?

It’s out of the question.

So what if we started thinking about money like we think of sleep? How would our relationship to money change?
