What Would You Do if You Knew You Couldn’t Fail?

What Would You Do if You Knew You Couldn’t Fail?

My birthday is this month and as I look back at my life—especially my life as an entrepreneur—I realize I became a master of many things. 

Over the years, I became a master of self-doubting and over-criticizing everything I did. When I made any kind of mistake—big or small—I told myself I should have known better, that I was stupid for making that choice. Even when I made the right decision and got great results, it wasn’t enough for me. It could have been better. I could have done it sooner or more efficiently. 

It’s no surprise that my business was failing and I was oh-so-broke, desperate and hopeless.

It’s crazy how many of us believe deep inside that this kind of negative self-talk is acceptable and will make us successful. We think that the more we ask of ourselves, the more we’ll deliver—and the better our results will be.  

“Join

Imagine yourself as a seven-year-old playing softball. You are doing your best at it and having so much fun. You miss a hit and your coach pulls you to the side and starts screaming at you, “You suck, you should know better and you just blew it, you’ll never learn and will always suck…” 

What would your adult self do?  Would you join the coach and scream too? Would you kick the coach’s ass? I have a strong feeling that you would stop the coach from screaming at a girl who is simply doing her best and having fun while doing it. 

So why do we constantly speak these things to ourselves? That voice constantly screaming (or whispering) makes it impossible to be creative and open to possibilities. Not only that—it’s plain mean.

Having this realization made me reevaluate my ways. I decided that in order to live a happy and wealthy life, I needed to become a master of self-love, appreciation and celebration.  The moment I made this shift, my business started shifting too. I started taking daring risks in my business. Some failed big time, while others were big successes. Despite the result, I always found a way to celebrate and appreciate the fact that I went for it. This fueled me to take new risks and allowed me to learn from the “failures.”

My birthday this year will be a celebration of all the times I fell and got back up stronger than before. I will commit to another year of strengthening my new mastery of self-love, appreciation and celebration. Will you celebrate with me?

How would your business improve if you mastered self-love, appreciation and celebration? In other words—what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

DONE BEING BROKE? 2015 IS THE YEAR OF INFINITE MONEY POSSIBILITIES

A few years ago I decided that instead of resolutions, I would make New Year’s Declarations. I declared I was done being broke; that I would make big money. And I did just that, taking very specific steps. 

Declare!
If you struggle with money, declaration is a powerful first step. Declare you are already making more money in 2015.

Be Specific.
Get clear about the amount you desire. I used to say, “Just enough for my bills,” without knowing how much that was! How much do you want to make this year? Take that number—break it down by month, week, and even days. Write everything down. You’ll be amazed how effectively this keeps you on track.

Get over it!
My clients—talented, hard-working women—often arrive desperate about money, and so mad at themselves! They’ve been “foolish” following the you-too-can-have-a-six-figure-business dream; they “should” have known; they’ve “failed.” Sound familiar? Well, that stops now. No one lives a mistake-free life! Forgive your disappointments. Give up guilt; forgive the past. Now you’re actually free to start over.

DO Something.
Listen, I love the Law of Attraction; it’s valid and important—and I know raising your vibration and energy is not enough without action toward your goals. Nothing will happen if you don’t get off the couch and do something. Action is not optional.

Take Fun Seriously.
Fun elevates your vibration and feeds your creativity, yet most women don’t make it a priority. A movie, roller skating, a bubble bath. My clients put it in their calendar—fun is nothing to mess around with, and it’s where the money is at!

2015 is the Money Year
Per Numerology, 2015 is an “8” (2+0+1+5=8), and 8 is the number of money—and it’s an amplifier. It’s the perfect year to transform money because you’ll get fast results.

In this year of infinite money possibilities, I promise you—money and abundance can spread like wildfire in 2015, with focus and work on your money (or lack of money!) issues.

Bringing it All Together:

  • Declare you are making more money in 2015.
  • Know your numbers; write down exactly how much you desire
  • Forgive yourself for bad financial decisions; there are no mistakes, only lessons learned.
  • Have fun!
  • Take advantage of the abundant money energy this year brings.

I personally want you to remember that you are worthy of making all the money you desire. It’s your birthright. So have fun doing it!
