Picking up from the last episode, this episode starts off with how you can change your mindset to avoid blocking your money blessings.
If you're not making enough money to survive, then you're worried about your own survival and the 24 inches around you. When this occurs, you can't self-actualize or have the ability to come up with creative solutions to problems. You'll be extremely focused on your lack of money. I understand this is a societal influence we have going on right now. Our society and culture have really done a number on us in terms of how people see the money. The result is we aren't having positive conversations about money. Allow yourself to want money, give yourself that permission because it's okay to want money.
It's all about realizing that all the power is in your hands. You can start today to get your financial life together, and you don't have to wait for somebody else to tell you to start. Regardless of your past experiences and choices with money, you can start making different choices. Start making different choices to obtain your financial goals.
Change is hard. It's easier to blame other people for why you're broke or say that your family was broke, so I'm going to be broke. I mean, I guess we're all just screwed, and that's just the way that it is. I'm here to tell you, that's your perception, and when you change your perception, you'll break yourself free of the negative money mindset in which you imprison yourself.
Listen to my story about the last recession. This story is good because this was when I realized that there's always somebody making money, even in a down economy. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was actually one of my first mindset lessons around cash. Find out how you can turn your negative money mindset around, why you should avoid shutting down and my story about my trip to Jamaica and what I learned as a result of that trip.

My fellow female business owners, this episode is especially for you; however, this information does apply to all business owners. I want to tell you about a business epidemic that I'm seeing more and more as I coach my clients.
Many people have the same fears about money. You want to be consciously aware of your mindset about money, the conversation you're having in your head about money, and your relationship to money. If you don't start becoming aware of these critical aspects of a money mindset, you're going to see a lot of the same bullshit in your life concerning money.
We're conditioned to believe that to make money, we have to overwork ourselves to the bone to make more money. However, we all have the same 24 hours and 1410 minutes in a day. Some work really hard and make very little money, and others are working very little and making millions. There's a false sense we have about money that comes from cultural conditioning. When we operate with this type of mindset, we end up blocking our financial blessings.

You hear so many myths and stereotypes about "rich people," and I want to debunk common myths that might be keeping you broke. To have money, you have to want money. You can't have one without the other.
I've heard people say that wealthy people are luckier or have a better life". Wealthy people receive the same 24 hours in a day that you receive, the same 1440 minutes in a day which they, and you, choose actions that can move you forward or backward. Rich people are human, the same as you and me. Others say that all rich people "are highly intelligent." Before you put that myth in your head, I can introduce you to people of average intelligence who are multimillionaires.
There are obscene amounts of money on the planet, and you have to learn how to get some for yourself and if you want to get to a point where you have money, you have to check your judgments at the door.

The only reason my company doubled in 2018, and exponentially grew in 2019, is because I am disciplined and I am focused. I know what I want, and I go after it, period.
Now, I've made no secret of the fact that I'm in the middle of scaling my company, and I'm not enjoying the process. There have been several challenges along the way, but I know it's going to get me to where I want to go. So I have the passion, and the desire, and the faith to see what I want and see the vision in my mind. I have the purpose, the discipline, and the focus to do whatever the hell it is I have to do to get there, and I do it all with a sense of urgency.
Ready for a real game changer in your life? In this episode, I'm going to share with you a framework that came to me in a meditation. I was meditating on focus and this framework showed up in a meditation. I've named the framework PDF Squared. PDF Squared, cause there's two parts to this framework. I've started using this framework in my own life when I'm not living up to my potential.

Wouldn’t you love to experience personal transformation and have the end result of your transformation the ability to make more money and have more freedom?
I love the person that I have turned into because of my economic transformation. I love what I've discovered in life, that I've seen what I'm made of, and have more strength than before. I have more discernment, wisdom, and money. However, money aside, what I realize is that my financial journey has changed to whom I have become as a person.
I also see many of my clients who went from making an income to get by to closing multiple five-figure clients in three years. When you see the immensity of these transitions, and you see how this process changes people's lives, you get excited about the result. Today’s show is all about the journey, and what I want you to do after you listen to this episode is to go out and make one small baby step toward a more secure financial future and start your personal transformation today!

Four Questions You Should Ask (and be comfortable with the answer) When Hiring Your Next Coach.
Let's talk about the basics, what you should be looking for, and red flags. These are the exact same strategies that I use when I'm choosing who to work with. That's why I take the time to research and ask the right questions before I choose whom to work with and give my hard-earned money. When I use these four strategies, I don't get screwed. If anything, I've been disappointed, or have realized this coaching program isn't what I wanted to do after I get in the program.

Take Personal Responsibility For Your Choices
That's right, I'm starting with you first.
Are there bad coaches out there? Yes, some unskilled people talk and don't deliver in every profession. Then there are people who are looking to scam vulnerable people. I believe in love and light, but I am also a realist. One of my teachers says, "Know the truth, but respect the illusion." The illusion is you got a whole lot of narcissists out there taking advantage of people with very low self-esteem, and it's nothing new.
Your key to finding a good coach is to make sure you don't get scammed. To avoid getting scammed to the best of your ability, you must first start with you and your responsibility in choosing a coach.

Do You Have Money Trauma?
Even if you grew up in the most wonderful household, all you had to do was walk outside the door, and you'd already start getting hit by other people's trauma about money. I often hear people beating themselves up about money because they feel they should have had their finances together before they decided to get them together with an "I should have known better" attitude. Honestly, how are you supposed to know better if no one ever taught you to manage your money any better?
Let’s get into this New Year by changing your mindset about making money. Remember, this is a process and a new habit to form. If you’re going to make money, you have to think like a person who is making money and throw out the old habits and beliefs around money you’ve been surrounding yourself with previously. Remember, only YOU can decide to make money. When you do, you take back financial control of your life and start looking for those money-making opportunities you’ve been missing right in front of your eyes!

We Need To Think Big, Bigger, Biggest!
Amanda, one of my students in my Persuade to Profit program, asked me how to know when it's time to let a project go or make a transition in your career or business.
We need to think bigger, think ahead, see what's coming down the pike, and then act accordingly.
When you do this process, you have to be able to adapt in the moment. Maybe you need to let certain projects go, maybe you need to let certain dreams die, because they just don't make sense anymore. This skill set is important to have in your toolbox.

One of the questions I’m asked most is about my hiring process. I have gone from a one-woman show to a team of eight. In this episode, I'm going to break down and explain what I do when I'm moving through the hiring process. Full disclosure: I have experience working in an HR capacity as a recruiter at my last job.

Many people have inquired about my confidence and how I achieved this level of confidence. I'm excited because I feel like this is a vital topic. I'm going to demystify this whole concept of confidence and show you how to get more confidence.
Confidence comes with emotional maturity. Even when dealing with trolls, rejection, and the negative actions of others, I can still find my way to my journey by setting priorities in my life, saying no to others, and reframing failure.

This year has been tremendous for Making Money Your Honey, doubling our income in the past year. I’ve been hiring contractors to do part of the work for me; however, I came to the realization that if I’m going to be a leader, I need to lean into my leadership role and become a leader in my organization.
Why? I didn’t start a company just to have a job. I had an idea, and I wanted my idea to grow and blossom into something big - bigger than myself. I want to help thousands of people, and I realized this wasn’t going to happen if I didn’t let go of being a micromanager and give others ownership in my game.
