I have a Family Science degree (marriage and family therapy, mental health discipline similar to counseling) and a Computer Science degree. I've combined the two degrees to help entrepreneurs with the technical hurdles and the mental roadblocks (focus, performance, health, fitness and energy management).

Alright.

 I want to bang my head on the desk.

 Do you guys ever feel like this?

 My friend, who's into health and health experiments... (my boyfriend calls her my enema friend)... she's texting me random shit about copper poisoning.

But there is no context, no symptoms, and no solutions. But I feel like I should be worried. I think. I'm just a bit agitated.

 Point is: if people are feeling lost and confused after you talk about your biz, you are just annoying people. I'm sure you don't do this but maybe you know someone who does.

 (Ps. No health posting on this thread. It's a marketing topic I'm bringing up -just to clear up any muddy water.)

"The one thing that has been bugging me is the “cluelessness” of my clients. And I guess this is partially on me, I am learning all the time HOW MUCH information I have to give and ask. But I also want to attract clients that WANT my services instead of “desperately needing them” ya know?"

Yes. I do know. Serving your clients at the highest level is empowering to both YOU and your ideal client.

You don't want to be picking up the pieces of their lives.

You want to be giving them a complete solution.

 Once you create a complete offer, hone your message and start talking to people about this higher level of service... you won't be desperate.

 And both of you will be a great deal happier.

Hey guys! Today is all about building up your confidence. And releasing your fears.

 So I want to give you three things that you can do you when you feel like a fear is holding you back.


Click the image for the video.


The first thing is what are you afraid of? What exactly is that fear?
Are you afraid that you can't do it? Are you afraid that you're not enough?
Are you afraid that you're going to lose something? That's a huge fear for a lot of people.

So define the fear. And then, ask yourself why do you have that fear?
Is it because of something in your past? Is it because of something that you've
heard that people are running around saying beware! beware! About the news.

Is it something in the past? Something in the future?
Or something that other people are telling to be afraid of?
That's the second thing.

And the third thing is, challenge that fear. Is that really true?
If you were playing a devil's advocate, is that really true?
Keep asking yourself. And play the other side.

For instance, if you say, “well, I can't do that because I’m an introvert”.
That's kind of fear driven. And you need to ask yourself.
Can you do that because you're an introvert even though you're introverted?

I'm betting if you challenge yourself in these fears and then rephrase the fear like,
“oh well because I'm an introvert, I probably be better at it than a lot of other people because I would understand introverts”.

So to find a fear, describe why you have that fear. And then, challenge that fear.
And then, I guess the bonus, turn it around. Turn your fear around.

Make that fear actually work for you.

My mom was diagnosed with cancer when she was 46.

 During the last year of her life, I heard her talk about a lot of things that she still hasn’t done.



Click the image for the video.


One of those things that I really remember is, she wanted to take a road trip to go see the Grand Canyon with her Australian dog, Foster. She just never got to do that.

 When she passed away, that changed everything for me.
I realized how incredibly short my life is.
Even if I live to be a hundred, it's still going to be short.

I realized how much time I had been wasting. That was so painful for me.
Because I wasn't doing the things that I wanted to do.
I wasn't putting my dreams into my life. And it hurt.

So I started doing that and also started coaching people in that direction.
I started coaching people past their fears. Past the reason why they can't.
And coaching people to start aligning their life with what they actually truly want.

So many of us, we put off the things that we want.
We put off basic things that we could have now.
Like happiness. Connecting with our friends and our family.

We put these things off. We don't have to put them off.
Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone wants to be connected to somebody else.
Everyone wants to have a great relationship. Everyone wants love and acceptance.
And to give back and help other people.

All these, seems we think we have to give a certification.
Get credentials. Get better. Be a better person.
But they can happen now! They can happen today.

We just have fears. We just have always think holding us back.
It doesn't have to be like that. You'd be happy now without reaching your goal, to make a million dollars or to lose a hundred pounds. You can be happy now!

Yes, of course! You still want your goal. But punishing yourself by being unhappy until you get your goal, it's not fulfilling. And what if you never get that goal? Happiness is something you can control. And something that's inside of you.

That is why I coach. Because I see so much disconnect between what we want, what we want to be, and where we are. All that can be taken away. All your fears can be worked through and addressed.

And you can have your happiness. You could have your peace of mind.
You can have your fulfillment now! While you're on your journey to your goals.

Are you a business owner? Do you have a calling to start your own business?
Are you holding back in some way?


Click the image for the video.

Click here to subscribe to my Youtube.


Do you feel as if you're not quite ready? As if you need to wait for the right time?
As if you need to wait on someone or something or other people to see you as a leader?
I want to challenge that.

If you are getting this calling, then maybe you are more ready than you think you are.
I want to ask you to really analyze. Are you ready?
Or are you just telling yourself, you're not ready because you're afraid to step up?

Are you telling yourself, you are waiting on something? Because you're afraid of step up?
Think about that. If you are getting this calling and you're not taking that step.
And you aren't stepping up into this role, you are denying a part of yourself.

You're denying serving those people that you would serve by starting your own business.
So really think. Are you ready? Or are you just afraid to take the steps needed to start your own business? Or to dig in your role in your current business.

If you found that you are holding back because you are afraid to take that step.
There's a few things that I want to challenge you to do.
And one of those things is, find people who do the kind of work that you are looking to do.

And to make contact with them. Ask them a few questions.
Ask them why they got into their field. Ask them what they like about their field.
Ask them what keeps them going. Get to know those people.
Ask them how they got started. That's number one. That's the first thing I want you to do.

Then the second thing I want you to do, is to start surrounding yourself with people who are entrepreneurs who have the same mindset. Are going to the level that you want to go to.
Who are moving forward in starting their business. Start looking for those people.
Start surrounding yourself.

If you can't find them locally, start surrounding yourself with those people online and really digging into their material and what makes their business work. Those two things find people and ask about their business and to find people and search the surrounding yourself with those people whether it's virtually or locally.

I'm so excited! Today I want to talk to you about changing your attitude about the future.
This has totally worked for me. I want to show you what's going to change your future.
This! thinking about a lemon. And here's why!




Click the image for the video.


Say you're depressed or you have anxiety.
Or you have overwhelmed all these negative emotions.
Probably whatever else you can think of as well.
All stem from thinking that things are not going to turn out so well.

So what do we do with that?
We just keep thinking about how it's going to be bad. 
How it's never going to change.
How it's never going to be any different. 

And never ever. They always do this. They always do that. 
And kind of blaming the world. And just sinking down further.
Instead of that, we need to turn around.

It’s like a muscle. We are exercising a muscle.
The emotional muscle of depression. Of anger and resentment.
Whatever that feeling is, we are exercising that feeling.
We need to stop exercising that feeling.

And exercise with another feeling. A positive one. The one we want.
How do we do that? If we think that nothing's ever going to change?
Well you know you can change things. 

You know that if you get enough sleep. 
If you eat well and start working out. 
Everything kind of floats. 
And things are starting to get better.

What if you have that positive stay all the time? 
That positive outlook?
Here's how you do it. 

So, imagine that you have a lemon. I'm cutting it. 
So you have this lemon and you breathe it in.
Close your eyes. 

Imagine the lemon and just squeeze it and breathe in that lemon.
And if you do that for a minute, what happens?
We'll do a little bit longer okay.

Yes. Your mouth starts salivating.
So your body is reacting to this thought.
It's not even a real. You know you don't have a real lemon.
I do!

Your body is reacting to the thought of a lemon.
What we need to do when we get into these grooves of negative emotions, we need to think about how we want it to be. We need to think about this lemon.

If we think about how we want it to be and how it could change you.
If we were all thinking a little bit more positively and we keep thinking about this lemon.
Our bodies are going to start to react to that.

Instead of being angry or frustrated, you're going to get calm and kind of excited about the possibility of changing things. Instead of being an overwhelmed, you're going to actually realize you've got this. You've been through this before. 
You’ve been through worse and you can do it.

So, I want to challenge you.
The next time you have a negative emotion, think about the lemon.
Think about how you want it to be and really focus.

Squeeze it so that you start salivating.
Start reacting to this image of how you want it to be.

So that you can actually empower yourself to make those changes and to change your future.

When my mom was 47, she passed away from cancer. This was really alarming to me because I was in my late twenties. I could see no end to my life.
Click the image for the video.


Of course, everything changed when she passed away.
I changed my perspective.
I stepped away from the American dream that was making me so miserable.

I started doing extensive travel. I started telling people how short life is.
And if you aren't happy now, you'll never be happy. Because now is all we have.

I've seen this time and time again.
I met this guy while I was traveling. He was 20 years old.
He was traveling around the world for a year.

He went back home to England and he was in a boat accident at home.
Early was supposed to be safe a boating accident at 20 and they never found his body.
If he hadn't gone traveling, he would have never experienced any of that again.

I've heard so many stories about people who fall in love with sailing.
And may decide, “ah! I really want to sail around the world! That would be so amazing”.
So, they decide that they're going to go. They are saving up their money.
They start shopping for a boat. They plan. They go out buy their boar. They start fixing it up.
Then, they sell everything when they are about to go.

Then something happens.
They move into their boat and they never leave.
They never leave the dock. They just stay in the docks.

They're too afraid to step out. And do what they were wanting to do.
There's resources out there and things that they could have done and they don't.

They just let fears eat their dreams.
This is something that I don't want to happen to you.
Because if you're honest, it's impacting you more than you know.

I recently talked to a lady and I said, “You're not following your dream. Is it impacting your health? Have you had any health issues?”
And she said, “Yes. Actually, I had breast cancer”.

She correlated that to her not following her dream. She knew that it was due to stress.
The stress was partly due to her not following her dreams.
Something she know she has a calling for.

We've all been there. We've all done that. We’ve settled.
We’ve compromised to a point that's good. We need to be giving.
But if we don't ever give to ourselves, if we don't follow our dreams or our hearts calling, then how can we be fulfilled enough to give back.

We want to help others. We want to grow.
But if we're not doing what we need to do, how can we get back?
How can we have enough to give back to somebody else?
And help another person?

This is my point. If you feel like this is resonating with you.
If something in your heart is telling you that this message is for you to listen.
Listen very carefully.

Because it doesn't matter where you’ve been.
It doesn't matter where you are and what you're doing now.
What matters is what you do now.

Forget about the past! What now?
Are you going to step up and take that leap?
Are you going to follow your dreams? Or your hearts calling?
It's up to you!

Nobody can make this decision. How is it impacting you?
How is it impacting your loved ones?
That you aren't doing what you're supposed to be doing. 
That you are answering your call.

You're the only one who gets this call.
The reason you hear it, is because it's for you.
It’s not for somebody else to answer.
It’s your responsibility. It’s your dream!

Are you going to step up to the life has calling you? If you don't, a part of you will die every day. Your body is crying out with aches and pains. Headaches. Tension.
Stress. Anxiety. Overwhelmed. Diseases like cancer.

Because you're not doing what you need to be doing for you to take care of you.
At what point are you going to say, “Enough is enough! I will no longer tolerate not living my life! I’m done with this! Let's go!”
