Just because you have always acted a certain way does not mean you have to continue acting in that certain way. The moment you decide, truly decide to drop the act and become whoever you want to be, you can. There is a distance between the vision of who you see yourself being and who you are because you choose that distance, thinking that your past must define you.
Honey, you went through some bad shit! You went through it and you kept on walking, you kept on doing what had to be done to hold everything together and no one honoured you for it! It was a horrific thing that you went through… You carried the weight of it and no one saw just how much this burden weighed…
I became a mum about 9 years ago when the beautiful, wonderful T came into my life. It was, like most mums would agree, a HUGE change.
Most spiritual peeps feel they have a call to do the work of changing lots of lives… And they willingly give themselves to that call…
$300 a day over 30 days adds up to $9000 a month $9000 a month over a year makes you $108, 000 For a lot of people, that income would change your life… Especially when you consider that this is based on you being you in your own business… Working when you want, doing what you want, with people you want to do it with…
I know no one wants to experience pain… I certainly don’t. I want the easy path all the time… And in a lot of my life, I take that path… In the non-essential parts like whether I cook or clean, I just let go of anything tough and hard and go the easy path, as should you! Why?
Hey you! Yes you! You, the one with the big ideas… You the one who knows that you are called to do something great… You the one with a BIG, HUGE story of triumph and winning over all the odds… You who knows that you have something to offer people who are currently in the same place you used to be.
We all have rules… Rules about what we have to do in order to be fulfilled and make money… Who we have to be… How exactly we have to make it happen… So many hidden rules, so many obvious ones…
I know you think this is about me! But it is not! It is completely about you! Why? Because I am appalled, APPALLED at how we the Spirit-Driven can act so weak about what we want out of this life!
So, I woke up to a negative email from someone…
We live in a world where a huge proportion of the people on the planet live in poverty… And even you may be doing ‘okay’ but really, you have just enough… You could not really call it abundance except when you compare it to the lot of other people…
I used to think that the inner cravings inside of me had to be tamed in order for me to be accepted by God and man.
So, knowing that on average, only TEN people are going to cry at your funeral… ONLY TEN PEOPLE! And guess what, half or more of those people may not show up if it is raining… So… KNOWING THAT!!! Who the heck are you allowing to influence what you do right now? Do they even care? REALLY?!
Yesterday, I had a bit of a scare and ended up back in hospital for a few hours… And it made me think of you, the leader, making a new decision about who you choose to be, what you choose to do, what you choose to have…
You think it is the lack of sales - No, this is a symptom… You think it is the lack of a great strategy - So, you go looking for the best-est tip/trick/technique you can find and that is such a time suck because it keeps you from actually doing the work…
Yes, I know… You are tired, sleepy and everyone else is still asleep… You had a hard day yesterday and you have a hard day coming today… So, yes, I suppose you could stay down, hit that snooze button again… Get that much needed sleep…
You have something to say but you think and think and think yourself out of it because you are scared about how it will be received… The message you have for today does not seem politically correct enough… You worry that people will hate you for saying it… Your friends will be shocked that you said that out loud…
There is a part of you that doubts that you can have it all… And because you doubt it, you will always put the brakes on… You will subconsciously tell yourself to chill out and enjoy this moment because this might be all you can get…
A few days ago, I was at a Christian Woman’s Conference. I was the keynote speaker there and as I love to talk, it went incredibly well and I adored every minute of it. I got to speak with amazing people as well to help them come up with ideas for moving forward. It was great. However, the thing that I also recognised was tribal thinking…
Let me come right out and just say this to you – You are paying far too much attention to what everyone else thinks you should be doing and so it is getting in the way of you listening to your own unique money-maker.
You know how you have these big, hidden dreams inside of you that you want to make happen? The ones you don’t ever really share out loud with the people in your world. The ones you feel you have to qualify and make small. The ones you are still not sure came from Spirit and so you are not really sure you are allowed to want that.
You, leader, have to take full responsibility for everything that happens to you. You know it but you kinda don’t know it… I know it but every so often, I forget and try to leave responsibility at someone else’s door… It never works… Things just get worse…
I used to wander aimlessly through life wondering what I felt motivated to do… Wondering why I did not feel inspired to do what I said I wanted to do… Wondering why I did not get my own version of the ‘Because I want to’ Life! I had bought into a lie…
Leader, you want to hit $5k online in your business and you are stuck in a stifling relationship that does not satisfy you… But you are committed to this person… Great! But this has got to be dealt with, not swept under the rug… It is impossible to create an abundant life when there are areas of your life that are so stifled…
Leader, as you jump on the success trail, the narrow path that is solely yours… There will be reasons to jump straight off… Whether it be sick children… Aged parents demanding attention… Partners who claim to feel neglected… Bosses who demand more than your full attention…
Listen, it is all well and good, telling yourself that abundance is your birthright but there are days when it just does not feel like it.
Most people, and I am sad to say that I used to be one of these, think that you can give things a go for a little bit and then quit if it gets too hard, quit if it seems impossible, quit if all your friends seem to be happy to settle for nothing, just simply stop and settle for the okay life… And so, for a long time there, I got the okay life… And so do most people.
Man, I am tired of appealing to all and sundry… I am tired of speaking so generally that anyone thinks that they are my person… I am tired of being surrounded by those who just want to make a few pennies here and there and it is not really attached to a big vision… I am looking for those who want to be great! WHO ARE ALREADY GREAT!
YOu hold yourself back so much… Scared of what people will think of you… And then you look at your bank balance and you see that there ain’t much there… And you know it is because you are not boldly gong after everything you want… You are being held back by worries that you might just fail…
I feel like my writing muscle is broken… (Yes for me, my money making is related to my content and honey, if you are in business then so is yours!) I cannot reach the flow and stay in there… I keep starting a post, stopping a post and I cannot seem to make it flow…
OK, I don’t want to suggest that starting something new is always easy -peasy-lemon-swueezy because well, we are all human and it can be tough to change the way you see the world and start doing something different, right? I get it! I live it every day and it can feel tough to learn new concepts AND IMPLEMENT them!
I used to do this thing all the time and I wonder if you do it too. I did this thing where I would wake up at some weird time in the morning and lie in bed thinking and worrying about all the things I had not done yet…
It can be very interesting being both spiritual and an entrepreneur, especially if your spirituality is actually linked with a religion with all its rules and regulations and traditions. You get so convinced that there is only one way to do things…
I see you holding back on what you put out in the world… I see you second guessing and wondering whether people will like what you have to offer, what you have to say… I see you, being less than the person you are created to be… And it is painful to watch.
I see you… Going through the motions but not actually doing anything that gets you any attention in the marketplace… Giving into the crazy voice in your head… Giving into the many, many, MANY demands on any leader’s life… Doing less and less and getting absolutely nowhere…
Who on earth are you asking for guidance? Your parents? Your older friends? Your pastor? Or some other Spiritual Guru person?
This morning, I had one of those moments of clarity that appear like a light being switched on after years of creeping around in the dark. It was instantaneous and it was on a subject that I thought I had conquered previously but I now realise there was even a deeper level to it.
OK, so for the longest of times, I thought that I could be both an ordinary and an extraordinary… For the longest of times, I thought I could stand out AND blend in… For the longest of times, I thought that I could take advice from ‘norms’ and somehow, find myself living an extraordinary life…

So much energy… So much vigour… You gave it your all… You showed up! You spoke your truth! You did the videos! The livestreams! Wrote the blogs! Did the quote images!
When I was younger and on the occasional day even now, I get myself into a tizzy. A tizzy where I wonder if I am allowed certain things… After all, my greatest heart’s desire has always been to be close to God, to Source, to my higher power… I long for Him with every breath in my body…
You have struggled and struggled to get anywhere… You have worked your butt off… You have not shied away… And yet, you are not there yet… It is as though you have a heavy blanket on you, keeping you from everything that you want, that you desire… And you are done with walking in the dark.
Why would you put a barrier in place against creating wealth for you and for yours? I know you say you want it and yet, when it comes down to doing the work to create it, there seem to be barriers in place. Barriers that keep you stuck and trapped in a place of struggle and lack. And why?
So, there you are… Struggling to get people into your business / clinic / practice… You have a service that people need but they are just not coming to your door in the droves you imagined when you put up your shingle! Frustrating, right?! You know you have something amazing! YOU KNOW IT!
OK, this is going to ruffle your feathers… It is going to make you think that I don’t care… It is going to make you wonder what on earth you ever saw in me… Unless you really are the leader I think you just might be… BUT YOU HAVE GOT TO PROVE IT! Because honey, no… I will not call you…
You are already a leader… People already look up to you… People depend on you and sometimes, the weight of that is overwhelming but you don’t crack… You keep showing up for them… Even though you KNOW there is more to you!
That pent up energy in your loins can be a source of great inspiration, you know… Yes it is yummy to take it through to full orgasm but while you feel that high feeling, tap into your creative energy as well..
You have reached a level of success and now, you feel stuck there… Because everyone expects certain things of you… And now, you feel you have to be that person… That person they want you to be… Even though you feel called to be someone else…
So, you have distilled out your purpose… You know what you want your life to stand for and to be about… And now you are all excited… All those years of the fog are behind you! You are on path!
