How to Overcome Your Own Excuses

The last few days I’ve been working on an exercise that’s been really helping me overcome my own mind drama and excuses.

Here’s how it works:

1. Write out what you want at the top of a page.

2. Write out every single excuse your brain gives you about why you don’t already have it.

3. Next to every excuse, write a solution to overcome it.

4. Go and execute those solutions as soon as possible. Before your brain has a chance to come up with more excuses.

Simple. So. damn. effective.

These are the excuses my brain has made for why I’m not where I want to be yet with all my goals:

• I don’t have professional enough photography

• I haven’t learned keyword research on YouTube

• I’m not “successful enough” for people to publish anything about me

• My Instagram feed isn’t pretty enough

• I’m not a practiced speaker

• I don’t have enough followers

Yes, for real, that is the BS my brain comes up with. 

It’s so embarrassing to write it down because I can see how UNIMPORTANT it all is to achieving my goals.

And yet, they still bother me.

So here is my solution:

I can either:

a) Do the thing I think I need to do just to get it off my mind

OR

b) Decide to never ever worry about it again for all eternity

Here is what I’ve decided to do:

• Just get the photography done (I just posted in an NZ Facebook asking for a photographer)

• Buy the YouTube course I’ve been procrastinating buying (just got on the email list for when it next opens)

• Decide that I AM successful enough already, and send my content to publishers now (Tuesday I will write something to send!)

• Literally never ever worry about my Instagram feed ever again for all eternity because it doesn't matter

• Practice speaking and watch presentation videos on YouTube (This Thursday I will begin working on this).

• Serve the audience I DO have because they are amazing (Keep showing up every day with value)

I've decided I will never. ever. let excuses stop me.

The Best Blogging Advice You Will Ever Receive

I was inspired by my client Nancy (aka: Miss Worldwide Traveler) to write this post, because she is currently working on this. Nancy, you rock.

I think this is THE best blogging advice you will ever receive:

Don’t start a blog. Continue a blog.

Do you know how many people START blogs? Everyone and their kid sister has started a blog.
And how many of those blogs are just dead, floating around in internet? I’ve got at least four.

Don’t learn how to start a blog.
Don’t learn how to start a YouTube channel.
Don’t learn how to start a podcast.

Learn how to continue a blog, YouTube channel or podcast.

You’re not a blogger if you just have a domain name with three posts and you intend to blog but life gets in the way.

You don’t need to change the fonts.
You don’t need more followers.
You don’t need a new vlogging camera.
You don’t need new podcasting equipment.

You need to write. You need to record. You need to film.

When?
Not once a week.
Not three times a week.
Every single day.

This philosophy is what has got me to where I am today with 325 blogs in 325 days.

Some projects can’t be published every day. Fair.
But you can work on them every single day. Even if it’s for 60 seconds a day.
Make a commitment to showing up and progressing your dream every single day.

Forget about starting. Learn how to continue.

Beliefs That Made Me Money This Month

The beliefs that I have been choosing to think every single day:

I already have everything I need RIGHT NOW to make my money goals happen.

I don't need new clothes or a nicer house.

I don't need more followers.

I don't need a better website.

I don't need to buy anything else.

I don't even need to wait until I've learned anything new.

I'm ready.

Every morning I've been waking up and saying:

TODAY IS THE DAY!

How to Close the Gap Between Where You Are Now And Where You Want to Be

There’s only one way to get to where you want to go – and that’s to act like you’re already there.

If you are constantly TRYING to get somewhere, you won’t get there. Because you’ll always be taking action from a ‘trying’ mindset.

The key is to BE the person you need to be, already, right now.

• What does she think?

• What does she believe?

• How does she act?

• What does she say?

• Who does she spend time with?

• What does she do?

• What action does she take?

• How does she walk?

• How does she talk?

• What are her boundaries?

• How does she handle negativity?

• What is her mindset?

These aren’t just questions, these are journaling affirmations.

These are thoughts I ask myself every single day.

Each day, my main priority is to BE the person that I need to be.

The key is to then ACT on the answers.

How I Grew My Facebook Group to 850 Members in 2 Months

I got told it would take 6 months to grow this big so I wanted to share my thought process with you around achieving this goal:

1) What result do I want?

800 members in my Impossible Girls Facebook Group

2) Who do I need to BE to get that result?

Courageous af!

3) Now that I am courageous af, what do I do/say/think/believe?

• I show up every single day, no matter what.

• I focus on connection, inviting girls in from all corners of the globe, from all backgrounds.

• I create offers for people to join us and I share them with good vibes all over the internet.

• I evaluate what doesn’t work, and what I can do differently.

• I believe this is the BEST group on the entire internet.

• I say to myself and others how grateful I am BEFORE the members arrive!

• I remind myself that all the members ALREADY exist. I don't have to invent people. They are ready & waiting for an invitation.

• I believe right up until the last minute.

• I never, ever give up.

• I remember my WHY – to create a space for women to defy the impossible, and get support from people who whole-heartedly believe in them.

I walked myself through this alignment process every single day for two months – and took the action from that place of courage.

And it worked. It always works. Stepping into BEING the version of me who already has the result.

Whether you want to grow a Facebook group or go to the moon, the result want is available to you right now.

I guarantee it.

I literally guarantee your result when you work with me. If I coach you and you don’t get your result, you can have your money back. I’m this confident because my clients ALWAYS get results.

Ready to finally create the result you’ve been wanting for ages?

Learning To Have My Own Back

I went to a wedding a few years ago and literally three different drunk guests all took turns telling me why I won’t be successful.

I wish I could say I stood up to them and said “I’ll show YOU!” But in reality, I just went to my room and cried.

For such a long time, I’ve felt like I had to justify everything I wanted in my life to the people around me. But I REFUSE to die knowing that I didn’t go after my dreams because of what someone else thought. That thought terrifies me.

But that wedding ended up being a major catalyst for me to decide what I believe I’m worth – not what anyone else thinks. It taught me I have to have my own back.

Since then, I’ve created:

🌍 Location independence so I can work from anywhere in my coaching business

🙋 An amazing free community of more than 800 kick-ass women striving towards their impossible goals (join us here)

💪50 push ups in a row

📱18k on Instagram

🏝A trip to my ultimate destination Bora Bora (that's the photo!)

✈️Visiting over 30 countries on 5 continents

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Living abroad for two years

💵Tens of thousands of dollars in my coaching business

🔥Plus I’ve just hired my first team member!

And I’m just getting started.

If no one has told you, let me:

You can create any result you want.

Anything.

And you don’t have to justify it to anyone.

The only question is, what do you want?

How to Commit to Your Goals

I’m back! It’s been a few months since I posted on YouTube but one of my top June goals is to put out a YouTube video every single week, so here's my first one!

I also want to note that even though this video is FAR from perfect, it still took three different occasions on three separate days to film because people in my house kept coming home and needed to use the space I was in haha!

I'm saying that because I wish the content creators I watch talked about how long it took them/how many fails they had – I always just assume they are perfect from the get-go.

Subscribe and click the bell if you want to get a notification when I put out next week’s post!

My new logo

Ahh! I’m absolutely delighted with how my logo turned out. I’ve been wanting to get a logo done for over two years and in May I decided to finally commit – I’m so glad I did because it turned out even better than I’d hoped.

I felt like it was time to take it seriously and get one done. Now I want to print some business cards, even though I hardly ever meet my clients in person, I just think it would be so fun.

A massive thank you to my designer, Brook from @saintstudio.co

How to Take Command of Your Life

This morning I spoke with the incredible Paul Gowin on a Facebook Livestream. Paul is a Mustang Marine Combat Veteran turned transformational specialist!

Peace & love aren’t just words to Paul – they’re a way of life. In 2013, as a junior officer in the United States Marine Corps, Paul saw a way to decrease the number of people in a combat zone. Today he shared with me his ‘ABCs’ of how to use words, thoughts and actions to create more peace and transformation in your own life.

Ready to Take Command of your life?

This is the livestream for you.

HOWEVER, you may notice that the video is SUPER stretched (we look like aliens!) but don’t be put off! Listening is just as good, the content is so epic and will truly transform your life.

Watch & listen here.

P.S. Connect with Paul on Instagram here. And work with him here.

Juicy

When I was a teenager I was obsessed with Juicy Couture. And I don’t even think I ever even bought anything from them.

I just loved the vibe of the brand.

Los Angeles. Girl power. Kick ass. Sweet. Sassy. Luxury.

Pam and Gela started the brand with just $200, and they turned it into a $1 billion brand. They also invented the modern fashion tracksuit.

If that’s not impossible goals, I don’t know what is.

I don’t really have amazing thoughts for you today. I just wanted to share that I love Juicy, I love Pam and Gela and I love their success story.

Keep going. Keep going.
