You Are Good Enough
Your Monday Reminder: You are ENOUGH. ALWAYS. Too often this list holds us back but what we often forget is that the people who we admire MOST have also experienced these pains but they decided to to keep trying. Keep going friend, I believe in you.
Suits Day
Ya ever have a SUPER productive day and think...."I'm gonna watch all the TV now"!?!? we are still going through All things Marvel (& yes, this was not planned...I just realized I'm wearing a Marvel shirt too) just curious, what are your shows lately!?!? I also love me some "SUITS" when I'm feeling more drama. What about you?!
Wants v. Needs
Happy August friends!!!!! Maybe you are also starting a new program also or planning out your month but instead of writing out "WANTS" I want you to think about the "NEEDS" of your life.
Here's why....
Don't think about you WANT in life...you won't show up for that "want" long enough to see any REAL results.....but you will show up for a "NEED".
Think about it...you might say you WANT....
I want those abs or booty gains
I want a better paying job
I want more freedom with my time
I want more confidence
But we need to stop thinking "WANTS" and more so start thinking "NEEDS".
I NEED to healthier so that I can have the energy to take care of myself and those that I love....for a LONG time.
I NEED to push my doubts aside and not "want" for a better job, but instead PURSUE IT through REAL action because I NEED to be able to provide more for my family because struggles suck and staying stuck is not an option ANYMORE.
I NEED to work towards more time freedom. I NEED this because time is going way too fast & I want the rest of my life, from here on out, to be the BEST of my life filled with MORE time spent with those I love.
I NEED to have more confidence because if I continue down this path of people pleasing and never feeling worthy & too scared to try something new I know I will end up right where I am...miserable and bitter and regretful and hopeless.
When you push the WANTS aside and look at the NEED for change you get to to the root cause of WHY you NEED this change to occur. Dig deeper friend...you NEED to do this to find what'’s motivating you for REAL and LONG LASTING change.
Will you get uncomfortable along the way? You better believe it!!!
Will you lose some "friends " that probably never had your back to begin with? Ummm, I hope so....And so should you!
A Better life is on the other side of ACTION...now do you "NEED" it or just "kinda want" it right now?!?
Your needs matter, because YES, YOU MATTER. Don't forget that.
Disadvantages = Advantages
"Our disadvantages are actually our advantages." I heard this in my audiobook and I thought about it and realized what he said was so so true.
Take for example...
I am a college dropout. Is that a disadvantage? Sure, but because of this I was willing to go the unconventional way to find success & happiness & fullfilment.
I failed WAYYY MORE times because of my stubbornness but I never quit at trying. I eventually found failures to be a way of growth & I welcomed it. (This took years of suck...not overnight guys).
I even opened up my own fitness studio only to close it just one year later...a disadvantage? Nahhh. A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY to make me realize what I TRULY want from a career.....
I wanted to help people, yes, but I wanted the time to UNPLUG & see the people I love MORE.
(Hello Online Coaching)
It's OK, to feel like you have the odds stacked against you...it could lead you to RIGHT where you want to be.
Who knows maybe your disadvantages could lead you to something more fulfilling too....only if you are willing to fail forward and not let the doubts of others and yourself hold you back.
If you have ever considered working for yourself let's chat. I've got a NEW COACH BOOTCAMP starting Monday here
What Are You Chasing?
So what are you going to do with the opportunities given to you? But More so true, what opportunities are you going to CHASE AFTER?!?!?
Tbh, MOST opportunities aren't given, they are LEARNED AND EARNED.
Because yes it takes daily choices to live the life you want, but now more than ever there is opportunity ALL AROUND and I am probably gonna get some hate for this but....
I FREAKING LOVE NETWORK MARKETING. Yes I partnered with a company that gives me ALL THE TOOLS that I need to help others get healthy AND the opportunity to show others HOW to do this too!!!
With that said, I am FULL OUT inviting you to join my next group HUSTLE & HEART where we will focus on ...
a 13 week INCREDIBLE fitness program

a HUGE focus on Mindset with accountability calls, affirmations/meditations and an AUDIO BOOK CLUB

Break from the Fake ;)
I haven't done a post like this in awhile & I wanted to remind ya, in case your newsfeed is filled with the "perfect" posts all the time and you tend to judge yourself for not living up to a certain "society standard"(that's crappy btw)... then maybe you also need to you need to take a "BREAK FROM THE FAKE" too!!!
I unfollowed a LOT of accounts that made me question my self worth and ya know what, I feel so much better. I FOLLOW uplifting positive people on my socials and it's a breath of fresh air. I recommend you do the same friend. XOXO
Three Years of Failing
It took me 3 years of FAILING programs before I ACTUALLY committed & finished one.
Seriously when I started my Online Coaching journey, I would start AND stop every program before I was finished. Am I proud of that? No, but it's the truth and I think TOO MANY of us think..." if we can't do it right, they WHY do it at all?!"
So in April of 2017 I started a program, and because of that 60 day program I decided that I would KEEP doing this.
If you fell off or failed in the past too you need to do 2 things....
#1 FORGIVE YOURSELF bc ain't nobody perfect and you DO NOT have to live up to this standard!!!!
#2 Show up and suck ....
Yea that's right. You are gonna feel like you suck...until you start celebrating EVERY LITTLE WIN.
Wins like....
...Hey, I didn't push my hardest but at least I tried.
...Ya know sure I ordered pizza but instead of 4 slices it was 2
...I didn't hit my water goal but darn it my pee is crystal clear
Seriously your mindset shifts % in the RIGHT direction when celebrate YOU everyday!!!
With that said, if you ALSO started and failed programs for years like I did then maybe....JUST MAYBE.... this is YOUR TIME to not give up. And btw, this cute top(dudes, I'm sending you a tee shirt)
I'm sending to anyone who joins & and finishes my next HUSTLE & CHALLENGE!
Want me to save you a spot? Fill this out for a free workout & info on how to join!!!!!! DAY ONE IS AUGUST 2ND!!!!!!!!

3 Little Things
Because I didn't want to ask permission to spend $$ anymore....
Ya know, relationships can be hard at times but the #1 thing that we would disagree about Money...& I bet you are the same.
I didn't have a lot of options(college dropout) & working at MORE gyms and teaching MORE classes was not something I could physically do.
So when I found out it cost me $160 to start this business I cringed...and I was scared to spend nearly half of my paycheck on it. But 12 months later it grew into 1/2 my income in comparison to my MANY jobs, then the next year it replaced my income. ...then year 3 it replaced both of our incomes & I KNEW I made the right decision.
Have you ever thought about working online helping others get healthier? Because I can show you how...but only if you are willing to do 3 things...
Step ONE: yup, sign up. It's $160 in case you were wondering.
Step TWO: you MUST be willing to learn and be a BEGINNER. Don't judge yourself for being new at something! That's how I started too!
And STEP THREE: give it more than a few months, give yourself ONE YEAR to put your health & business the time it needs to succeed.
Truly, I've seen ENOUGH people quit too early and some came back and they said the same thing at one year in, they SEE the difference.
Because tbh, it's your mindset that HAS to change for this business to work. It had to for me.
From panic attacks and major anxiety to where I am now I can tell you I am a COMPLETELY different person and I have THIS JOB TO THANK!!!!
If you are willing to do those 3 things above then YES, I'm here for YOU. I am YOUR Coach & it's my JOB to help you succeed. Let's do this!!!!
DAY ONE OR ONE DAY?(in bio)
Disclaimer: no guarantee you will be successful bc YES this is a real job and your level of success depends on YOU and the work YOU put in...it's the beauty of being your own boss!!!
Start Loving You Now
You do not have to be perfect to BEGIN. Stop judging yourself for who you aren't....instead START loving who you are NOW by giving yourself the best chance to SUCCEED by going after it. It's not about what you don't know, it about what you DO KNOW and the ACTION you take because of that knowledge that matters MOST.
Sure this workout I did today was intense but I couldn't always do this. Yes, I run a business that afforded me to be able to bring my husband home to help run this business with me but I want you to NEVER compare my DAY 2,737 to your DAY ONE. I started out the same as my fellow Coaches...with DECIDING THAT TODAY IS DAY ONE.
A LOT can change in a few years and if you want to go somewhere happier healthier & wealthier then let's chat. I'm only a message away. Will this be your DAY ONE or one day???
YOU ARE FAKE
Today I had a message from someone saying...
"YOU ARE FAKE."
And it made me realize that I'm probably not the only one that ...
#1 gets messages like this...
....or....
#2 has also thought that about someone else.
So I thought I would share with you how I responded..(hang in there, bc the story ends well)
"Sorry you think that about me. Hope you find happiness in your own life too and you won't feel the need to put others down to lift yourself up"
After I sent that, this person responded with an apology and they shared more about what's going on in thier life...and truly I am so appreciative of that message back. Too often we compare ourselves to someone's life and that is the thief of joy. I know because I used to do ALLL..THE...TIME...
My response to not only that person but even MORE SO to myself is a response of love and hope and as much as I try to encourage others I also read back my messages as if I'm talking to MYSELF.
If I don't treat others with love there is NO WAY I CAN DO THAT FOR MYSELF.. So please read this in love and as a reminder that you ARE LOVE and you are capable of loving others INCLUDING yourself....
( More of my response)
"Honestly I feel ya, it sucks when you go through crap and I've been there too. Trust me. You have to face it head on and look at what you have control over and anything you don't have control over look for a better way, opportunity is there and even if it means confrontation or heartache, getting to the other side is always worth it... No hard feelings for what you said. It's inspiring me to share more about my own struggles too. We all have a story and it's worth it to be shared. If it helps I recommend following Trent Shelton and Lewis Howes on YouTube, because mindset is EVERYTHING when it comes to positive changes in your life. "
I truly am no ones competition because in the end I want you to win too.
