So, we all understand that. But now let’s reflect it back onto who we are and how we show up in the world. I didn’t grow up in either those scenarios. While money was a conversation sometimes about things, my mother didn’t work, my father did, my mother handled the finances, we didn’t have fancy things, but we really didn’t need much. So, I was, I guess, right in the middle. Yet my neighbor growing up, her parents acted as if they had more money than they had. I was to find out later that he would be thrown in jail or fined by the IRS. But they would spend a lot of money they didn’t have. So, they would always act as if they had a lot of money. And so, that abundance mindset for me started to make me think, “Well, if she could have (my neighbor), if she could have all the Cabbage Patch Kids that came out this year, why can’t I? Well, if she gets five of them, why can’t I?” Now, I don’t mean to sound like a brat here. You know, when you’re a child and you’re just wondering. But it’s a pretty innocent and honest question. It’s the stories we tell ourselves and the stories our parents tell us that make us think that we don’t deserve or that it’s a problem or that it’s too much or it’s lavish or it’s greedy or it’s being a brat asking for material things. Yet in this form, every growth opportunity, every time we learn something, we want more of what it is we have. It doesn’t mean that things will make you happy, but there’s nothing wrong with having things.

So, today’s show came about because I had been noticing a theme of, whether it be clients, mastermind members, some of you out there in some of the groups, inner circle membership, or in the 30-day manifestation challenge, that people settle with whatever they’re used to and make themselves comfortable with whatever they’re used to. And while that has its benefits, they’re in denial of something more that they may want because they’ve talked themselves into not wanting it or thinking they can’t have it. And I want to give you a few examples because this is something to practice. Every single one of you, no matter how much you defend your limitations, no matter how much on one side you say you want change but are unwilling to be uncomfortable, you still can practice and increase and create new neural pathways so that you can experience more success and abundance.

 So, on one side, we have the frequency. And the frequency is that temperature gauge of what you’re worth, what you think your value is, or what your parents have told you, or your teachers have told you, or your spouses have told you. But yet we want more. We want more. We know secretly we’re worth more. We want to do more. And again, more doesn’t mean anything specific. It just means we know that we’re living in a box that we no longer fit in. We want to expand and to grow past that box in whatever ways. Again, health, relationships, money, feelings of freedom, peace, joy. You could put any of those things in there. Yet the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Now, I know you’ve heard that before. You may have heard it many times. But I’m going to repeat it again, and I want you to really take it in. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

How many of you are insane? Seriously, how many of us can look at life and say, “Well, I’m expecting different results, but I haven’t changed my behavior” or “I haven’t changed my frequency” or “I haven’t changed any of the routines that I have”? So, this show of “How Can I?” is to redirect that and to tell you that you can practice this right now. The reason why I have learned what I’ve learned in life is because anytime I’ve been in a situation that I don’t have control over, or I can’t influence to the level I’d like to, rather than focusing on the problem, I focus on the solution. “Well, how can I feel better right now? How can I make this different? How can I, in this situation, feel a different way or get different results?”

So, I’m going to tell you a few stories because they’re really good examples to me. I mean, I’ve got so many. I was making notes for today’s show and I’m looking at, like, 10. And I’m not going to have time for all 10 of these. So, let’s start out with one of the first times I recognized my innovative, pioneering mindset. And this is before law of attraction became my focal point. I was definitely in that zone, but I wasn’t teaching it yet. Or if I was, it was very quiet to the clients that I had. It was before the podcast. This is years and years and years ago. There was a mastermind group that I was in, and I was on one of the lower levels. She had several levels, and they got really high up to $100,000 a year. And she had what was going to be her last event. And I had always wanted to go to her first couple events. And she’d have a decent amount of people at it. I mean, not a huge amount, but the ticket price was a couple thousand dollars. So, I wasn’t in a financial position to do that. And while I probably could have made it happen with several credit cards or opening a new card or something, I found myself at this stage, when she was announcing her last live event, I thought, “Well, I have to make this happen. I can’t wait until I’m going to be financially secure. I have to find a way to go.”

So, what I did was I reached out to several people who I knew were interested in going but weren’t necessarily as excited or jazzed as I was to go. I really wanted this. This was important to me. This was important for my financial success. This was important for my business. I knew that it was going to take me to a next level. And I asked myself, “Well, how can I do this? How can I go?” It was $3000. And back then, it was probably 15 years ago, maybe more, maybe 16 years ago, 15 or 16 years ago. So, I said, “How can I do this?” And I just decided to ask a handful of people, “Hey, I want to go to this event, but I can’t swing it right now. How many of you would be willing to split the cost with me, and I will come home, copy the manual, and I will teach you what I learn?” And I had five other people tell me they would do it, which made it very affordable, and it got me to really take that information and learn it more and better because I had to then turn around and teach it to these other women who had invested in me going. They knew it was the last one, and we weren’t all going to put down $3000 apiece to go. But I became the investment and the teacher for this information, because, well, my retention rate is really good and because it was my idea. Anyway, so that was one of the first times I realized that there’s no limitation. There’s just the limits we put on ourselves.

When I was moving from Long Beach to El Segundo, my ex-husband and I really wanted to get out of Long Beach. Long Beach is lovely in certain places, but we weren’t in the best neighborhood. And he was working at the airport at the time, and so he had a commute that was 45 minutes in each direction. And of course, during rush hour, that wasn’t really fun. We wanted a better-feeling place. And one of my clients had a home in El Segundo, and she said to us at her holiday party the year before, “My house that’s in El Segundo is going to be coming up for rent in March of that year. Would you be interested?” Now, mind you, the financial crash of the real estate market had just happened. It was 2008 into 2009. And there was even a month or two in there that I needed help paying my rent. I had had all my eggs in one basket. All of my clients were coming from one referral source, and that referral source also stopped getting those high-end clients. So, my business literally tanked overnight.

This is another reason why you also join a mastermind or have a business coach: because you never want to not diversify your marketing and your offerings. I learned that very well that year. So, here I am, at a position where I’m having not the best time even making rent every month, and when I asked her what the price was, there was a $500 difference between what we were currently paying and her house. And so, immediately, I just said, “No, I can’t do it. I’m already not feeling safe right now in this current environment to pay the rent right now. I can’t pay more. Makes no sense.” So, a couple of months went by, and then I was up in Manhattan Beach doing some exercise with a friend of mine, and my intuition said, “Go see the house.” So, I called her and I said, “Can I see it?” I was in the neighborhood, and she said, “Sure.” So, I went to the house, and all of a sudden, I fell in love with it. I fell in love with everything about it. And it turned from “We can’t afford it” to “How can we afford it?” And at that moment, I got very creative about many things, and it all worked out. We got rid of our storage unit, which was $100 a month. She lowered the monthly rent. I got a payment plan for the deposit, and she just asked if we would do a few things around the house to better the outside. My ex was an architect, so things like painting the fence or fixing XYZ thing would help with that. So, I ended up getting what I wanted, and I ended up finding a way to make it work because I changed my mindset from “No, I can’t” to “How can I?” I got out of the way and allowed myself to be shown the way. I asked for things that maybe someone wouldn’t normally ask for, but you never know until you ask.

Another big one for me is you guys know some of the story of wanting to come out of my shell, so to speak. I’ve been named best personal trainer, been doing exercise, really good at biomechanics and science. And that’s the box I was in for years. I didn’t want to be in that box. And I kept listening to other experts and people, from therapists to producers, who kept saying, “Just stay in your lane. You’re getting PR here. You’re really good. You’re known in this area. Lead with that.” But the problem was I didn’t want to be that anymore. I didn’t want to show up just as that. That will always be a part of who I am, but I wanted my expansion to move forward. I wanted my new identity of what I’m doing in the world to be what I led with. I wanted to rebrand. And I kept listening to the fear of everybody around me saying, “You can’t do that. You’re not qualified to do that.”

Now, it didn’t hurt that those of you that came to the event said, “We want more of you,” and I kept at every event, putting myself more forward instead of in the background. When I would take time away from certain exercises because I knew everybody was getting tired or overwhelmed or had just had enough, I would take my stuff out. Now, why did I do that? Because I wasn’t confident enough to do it myself. I wasn’t confident enough, and plus I felt a little bit of guilt from everybody in the room who had dedicated their time, energy, and expertise to serve my community. Now, mind you, all of those people made money, and most of them made more money than me. I didn’t do this for money. I did this to rebrand and to step into who I was more and more. And for those of you that were at that event, thank you for coming. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you for also giving me the feedback of what it is that you get from me.

All right. One more quick story. So, at that time, after we moved, because we did move, and we were making the rent, it was fine, business was picking up a little bit, but it hadn’t picked up enough yet. And one of the things I told my father years ago. He used to say, “Do you have enough money?” and I’d say, “Dad, if I don’t have enough money, I’ll go get another job.” Just think about that for a second. I’ve always been an entrepreneur pretty much even when I worked for the gym, because as an actor or actress, that’s part of what you do. You’re always looking for a job because you want to perform. You want to be in the arts. And you’re going to need some kind of temp job or waitering job or some kind of income that you’re going to not necessarily love to do, which that wasn’t me, by the way. That’s the reason why I became a trainer. But you’re going to be looking for different jobs. So, it’s never a one thing that you do every day the same way.

So, in a way, I’ve always been entrepreneurial. I just wasn’t willing to continue to put myself out there in the entertainment world as to ask permission to be picked for something when I knew I could just create the thing I wanted to and cast myself. It always made much more sense for me to just believe in me and make those decisions versus putting myself in front of someone else and not begging for a job. That’s not what I think auditioning is, by the way, for those of you that are in the arts. If you go in knowing you are who you are, and you either fit or you don’t fit, then you don’t feel like a victim. But many people in the arts feel victimized when they don’t get picked for the job, or they change themselves. And that, again, goes against everything I believe that has to do with self-worth and empowerment and law of attraction.

So, when we were in the new house, and business was picking up but not quite as much yet, I was getting to the point where I thought, “Okay.” And I battled it for years. I thought, “I need to get another job.” I can’t tell you how it pained me. It pained me so deeply that I was resisting it for so long because of the idea that I failed, because of the idea that “If I get a job, then I have failed myself. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t hack it.” But at some point in 2010, I had to make peace with that. And this is another great law of attraction exercise that you can do that will help you pivot and ask yourself. Instead of saying, “I can’t,” “I can’t afford that,” “I can’t do that,” how can I? So, I asked myself, “All right. If you had to get a job, what would be the best case scenario? What would it have to look like? What would it have to feel like? What would it have to be in order for me to be happy with it or at least not hate it?”

So, here in California, we have a brand new resort built in 2008 called Terranea. We had just moved to El Segundo in 2010, and I’m in this new house that I love. And I’m asking myself, “Okay, is your pride going to get the best of you, or can you just go make peace with this and go figure it out?” So, I wasn’t going to work in a gym. That was going to not be happy on any level. I thought about it first in a law of attraction sense. “What would it have to look like or feel like? What’s the environment that I’m in?” And immediately, I thought the ocean. “Oh, what about the resort? They have a gym on the property. What if I worked in the gym? And it’s a high-end resort, so it would probably pay better than the gyms. And it would probably be really flexible because it’s not a gym that anyone just goes to, it’s not heavily occupied, and I bet people want trainers when they’re staying there for a week or two, not all the time.”

So, I applied. I got the job. I did my two days of training, and within those two days of training, I had made such peace with being there that I didn’t need it any longer. I got my first book deal that week. I also got a new client who paid for 10 sessions upfront to the tune of $3000 or $5000. So, right then and there, my whole trajectory changed because I made peace with whatever I had resistance to, which was getting a job. I found the best way I could do it that would feel good to me, so that I wasn’t out of integrity with myself. And once I released resistance and surrendered, I got what I wanted. I got more than I wanted. I got a book deal. I got paid to write my first book with an agent.

So, all this to say, when your first knee-jerk reaction is “I can’t,” “Nope. Can’t afford that. Can’t do that. Don’t have the time for that. Don’t want to do that. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t,” you keep yourself stuck. And if it’s something that you don’t want to do because it is out of alignment with who you are, that’s one thing. But how many of you are stopping yourselves on a regular basis because you have fear? Fear is not going to be the place of alignment with which to make the best decisions, right? We know that when you’re in alignment and you follow the impulse, source is a co-creator with you to lead you to what it is that you want. When you’re out of alignment and you’re in fear, you’re not connected to source. Worry, scarcity, limitation, that’s what’s coming up for you. Old patterning. But you can change that. I want you to start by asking, “How can I?” What is something that you want to do that you haven’t given yourself permission to do? What is something that you need to do that you know would be in your best interest, but for some reason, you have resistance to it? Ask yourself, “How can I?”

So, part of what’s going on right now in this calendar space and time is we’re up for renewing the inner circle mastermind. And I interviewed Charlene Parks. We did a show called “Elevating Your Career Path.”

So, when it comes to our intuition, and again, we have that first level of resistance of “No. Nope. Nope,” we are limiting ourselves to staying exactly where we are. In order for us to grow, we have to trust that future. We have to trust ourselves enough to ask the questions of “How can I?” So, another example. One of the members is moving on and doing next year as well. See, they were all in the same plan this year, but next year I have two tracks. There’s a track called the essential level, and that is a little bit less of my time, and it’s less money. And there’s the executive track. And the executive track is more money, more in alignment with where my pricing should be. It’s still too low, both of them, and they’ll never be this low again. And I sent out an email to all of them, and I also told them if they were on the fence, they could do this survey that I’m going to give everybody to kind of review their year, and look at their wins, and what blocked them, and where did they let fear and upper limiting block them from success? Now, mind you, we have had an interesting year with COVID and people having to pivot, so I think there’s been a lot of success in ways that we would not have measured in other years because everyone, literally everyone, has had to pivot and learned how to be creative in a very new environment.

So, one of my members wrote back because she was on the fence and she wasn’t sure what to do, and we had a conversation about it. And all the while, I’m thinking, “Well, this conversation is because she’s not sure if she should continue on or not.” And by the middle of it, she said, “This is not a conversation about how I can use this tax write-off and get money back, and I understand that.” And she’s like, “I’m wondering which track to do.” And I thought, “Oh, okay. I didn’t see that one coming.” So, ultimately, she is choosing to do the more expensive, more time with me, more focused track. And I was super shocked, but of course, elated because one of my struggles this year is overdelivering: overdelivering in the inner circle, overdelivering in my ultimate podcast mastermind. Because, again, while I am confident to a certain degree, I am not proven in either one of these areas, and so I extremely underpriced both of them.

So, after this mastermind client of mine had this conversation with me and told me that she was going to do the executive track, which is the higher-level track, I immediately wanted to make sure she understood a quick way for her to make her money back. Now, I wasn’t trying to convince her to do it. She had already decided. She already talked with her husband, and she was already committed. But I wanted to make sure she was going to make her money back, and she knew a couple of different ways to do that immediately. And then whether she took action on it was up to her, but I wanted to empower her with the reasons how to do that. What are the ways in which you can quickly make your money back? In fact, somebody else from the group also wondered, “Well, you know, as I’m starting this business, as I’m doing this part time, how can I make the money back?” And I gave her another way, and we counted it, and it became very clear and easy.

See, for many of you that aren’t entrepreneurs at all, you are used to getting a paycheck from someone. And literally one person pays you. One company pays you. So, your ability to think out of the box may not be exercised to the degree that it could be. And I’m inviting all of you right now to start to exercise your brain and your mind and your ideas and your innovations, and ask, “How can I?” instead of “I can’t.” Because when you say “I can’t,” you literally stop growing. You stop yourself from getting to that next level that you keep saying that you want. So, when you have this internal battle of “I want it, but why can’t I have it?” you’re the one stopping yourself. If you’re not coming up with a solution of a different story… And that’s the other thing. How many of you are telling yourselves stories that just aren’t true, and then you’re getting this emotional reaction about it, and then you’re wondering why, again, you’re spending. One of my clients starts to move two steps forward, three steps forward, gets excited, has a scarcity thought of “Oh my god, this is going to take over my life, and I can’t do this,” creates some kind of upper limit of worry, so that she could be knocked right back down to where she was. Now, I know a lot of you deal with that, and some of you are taking small steps, and some of you know it’s time to make a big step. So, how can you? What needs to happen?

Another story about our resistance blocks our growth. And my very first event that I did on my own was back in 2009, and it was my Fit 2 Love book. It was like a weekend course that I did. And I actually did do it all by myself, but again, it was teaching just for my book. I wasn’t doing law of attraction necessarily. Maybe a little bit. And that was actually the first time I started talking about astrology by accident. I had mentioned something in passing that I was asked a million questions and ended up taking an hour of the curriculum and put it on astrology, which I had no intention of doing. It should have been my first indication I needed to bring astrology in sooner to everything I’m doing publicly. I was doing it privately but not publicly. So, after that event was over, I looked at my books and I thought, “God, I don’t think I made any money doing this.” And this was prior to Releasing What Weighs You Down. This was prior to a whole bunch of things. And I was really stressed about it because I gave it my heart and soul, I put on a good event, I fed everybody, I had sponsors. It was a great event. But here I am looking at the numbers, and it wasn’t my strength.

But I had shame about it. I had shame about not being good at it. I had shame about not being good with quick books. I had shame about not doing a budget. Budgets are not my strength. But I knew that something had to give. And again, this is also how I applied this to…it’s the same idea of making peace with. So, I said to myself, “Okay, I have to. I need help. I cannot do this by myself. I am not good in these areas. I need support.” All right. So, what’s the problem? The problem is I have shame. I have shame that someone is going to look at this and then think poorly of me. So, what do I need to do? I need to find someone who already knows, likes, and trusts me, and who thinks of me in a good way, that no matter what they see on paper, they’re not going to judge me harshly or change their opinion of me. That’s how insecure I was at that point.

So, I thought of the perfect person. He was my client, and he was an enrolled agent, and he was an older man who just wants to be helpful. Older men, especially after they get out of their prince stages and they’re in their king stage, they’re literally looking to mentor people. And not because they want to get paid. Because they want to be of service. So, for all of you women out there listening to that, when a man who is older is giving you unsolicited advice, it’s not a judgment against you. It’s literally because he’s looking to be of service. Men generally want to be of service. And women do too, and that’s why women also give unsolicited advice, but for a different reason. Now, I’m overgeneralizing, but I just want to put that out there because it is part of the growth of men and that masculine energy of men. And so, I knew that because of his age and his position in life, that he just really wanted to be of service to me. And I needed someone to be of service to me, and I offered to pay him through dinner and wine. And I needed a regular check-in. So, I needed someone who wouldn’t judge me. I needed it to be regular. I needed to be able to face the music on a regular basis for accountability, because I know me. I pay for accountability. That’s why I have a bookkeeper come once or twice a month. She sits in this chair so I can’t. And it’s the best couple hundred dollars I spend every time.

Also, a couple of months ago, I started dealing with, again, another upper limit for me. And what I want to make sure you understand is that I’m challenging you to grow through this show, through what I’m telling you. And I am also growing, and I am willing and wanting to grow, and I have upper limits also. Every time you get to a new level of abundance, success, and joy, and your temperature increases for what you’re able to receive and allow, there will be more upper limiting at the next level. It’s part of the growth process. In exercise, it’s the same thing. When you do a routine for a little while and your body adapts to it, it’s no longer effective anymore. It might be good for blood flow, but it won’t get you more results because your body has adapted. So, it’s good at it. So now we need to increase the resistance, increase the intensity, in order for you to keep getting results.

Well, it’s the same thing in business and in life, in your relationships, in your health, in your happiness, in challenging you to be in the moment, challenging you to change your routines, change your stories, pick a new environment, get out of your comfort zone. For me, with so much fire, I take action, no problem. But for a lot of you who have got earth moons, or air signs, a lot of air, there’s a lot of thinking. There’s a lot of mental processing and not a lot of emotion, not a lot of action. Same thing with you earth signs. Sometimes the only way that you end up moving is by manifesting something that pushes you. And we’ve talked about this before on the show. So, just be aware that your astrological blueprint will also give you indications of when you absolutely have to do something to push you outside of your comfort zone because you will not do it willingly. And rather than wait for a disease or disaster or some kind of accident to happen to make it happen, please know that your inner voice, your higher consciousness, your deeper soul, that voice on the inside of you that knows it wants something and it’s meant for more, it will find a way for you to get it, even at the expense of you being very uncomfortable, so when you get out ahead of it, and you know it, and you listen to that inner voice.

A lot of you have a dream. You have a dream about how you want your life to be, or your work, or your relationship. But you’re not doing it, and you’re doing nothing about it. And the only thing you’re going to do is repress that voice, because it will continue to get bigger and bigger until something happens where you have to face the music or it forces you in a different direction. So, a couple of weeks ago, I hit my upper limit, and I thought I could handle it by myself because I usually can. And I did all the tools that I know to do, and I sort of just let my intuition tell me. And after, I don’t know, four weeks of it, five weeks of it, six weeks of it, I have a very low threshold for pain and discomfort. When something bothers me emotionally or physically, I do something about it. I don’t ignore it. I don’t repress it, to a certain degree. I mean, sometimes I may in the moment, but I don’t let it go too many days, and I definitely don’t let it go weeks or months. And all of a sudden, now I’m sitting with the same pit in my stomach, the same disappointment in myself and anger and frustration, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t like how I felt. I didn’t like the story I was telling.

So, I decided it was time for me to hire my own coach. And I’ve worked with people in the past. It’s been a couple of years since I had some regular appointments with a healer, therapist, or coach. And it was time. And for me, I’ve used the excuse that I can’t find someone like me. I can’t find someone with astrological, law of attraction, all the tools that I have. Because that’s what I would love. I would love to be able to coach myself, which I do a lot, but I’d love to have someone who I could speak the same language with. And I wasn’t finding that. Of course, except Dr. Christiane Northrup, who I don’t think she’s doing private sessions, and I don’t think she’s doing it on coaching or business, and that’s what I needed. So, I booked myself a session with Dr. Cherie Carter-Scott last week. And she’s been on the show several times. She’s literally the first person to wake me up. Her book, “If Life Is A Game, These Are The Rules.” And it was a very good session. I learned so much, and within 40 minutes, I could identify the root cause of what was really going on for me underneath the story I was telling myself and underneath all of the emotions I was having that I couldn’t make sense of.

And when we had that session, she did something really interesting with me. And while it was more cerebral than emotional, I was able to notice that there’s a huge difference. And I know for a lot of you, I work with you in more of a cerebral way. But those of you that have done EFT with me, or we’ve gone through the needs and emotions, I also can take you through an emotional processing. And so, what we identified in my coaching with her was the reasons, and then we discussed what I was going to do about it. And one of the things I knew I needed to do was I needed to express myself and to emote. And so, I needed to take the tools I talked to you about and go do them, and I did.

But the point of the story is that we all need help getting to that next level. We all are on a path and a journey of the unknown. You don’t know what it’s like to feel more joy, love, success, and abundance than you already do. And while you may say that you want it, until you stretch yourself in a meaningful way, with accountability, to do things outside of your comfort zone to get there, you may never get there. Just wanting it isn’t enough. Taking action that’s disconnected, that’s not in alignment, and that’s fueled with scarcity, is also not the greatest choice. But getting into alignment with who you really are.

So, I want you to start asking yourself, “How can I? How can I get what I want?” Even if it’s one step at a time. Even if it’s like I did with Releasing What Weighs You Down and asking five other people to participate in the event, or like I did with the business event of the mastermind that I was in for $3000. I asked people to invest. It was a completely out-of-the-box idea, and it worked, and everybody won. I got to go. I got to get the information. They got to get the books and the information and have me teach them. And we even created a little networking group that met every couple of weeks to go through the information. So, instead of knee-jerking that your limitations are going to rule you, I invite you to just remember this question. Anytime you say “I can’t” but you want to, ask yourself, “How can I?” Allow yourself to get into alignment, to get information, downloads, opportunities, and manifestations to help you do whatever it is that you want to do. Check in with if you’re coming from fear or if you’re coming from abundance, because that will also be the determining factor of how you’re making decisions.

So, please use “How can I?” as your new mantra when something is presented to you, or you have an idea about something that you want, and then you knee-jerk into scarcity and fear and worry and shut yourself down. Because we do not change until we break through these patterns. We do not grow, we do not expand until we literally rewrite the neural pathways by taking a risk, by being innovative, by doing something different. For many of you, doing something is better than doing nothing. Now, that’s not advice for everybody. For me, it’s the wrong advice. But you know who you are. If you’re someone who’s been at the same job that you’ve hated for most of your life, why are you still there? Please don’t wait to get cancer so that you can quit without having guilt about it. We have to learn how to love ourselves enough to ask for what we want and to empower ourselves to get it. Stop blaming your family. Stop blaming your spouses. Stop blaming your children. Stop blaming your friends. Stop blaming the world, if this is you, for the reasons why you can’t do something. Because the only person responsible for ever getting anything for you is you.

So, I hope today put a fire under your butt. For those of you that are business owners or want to be business owners, I will say again that you have two weeks left for the inner circle mastermind early bird. The price will go up after November 1st for everyone. No one will get in for the early bird pricing after November 1st because that is my commitment of integrity to myself. It’s already underpriced, and the only way I could make peace with the price right now is to make it a limited time. Past that, I have to honor my time because I give a lot. You can hear it. You feel it. Those of you listening to me for a while, you know that I present to you the same energy, care, and concern, and aid, and support, and help, and coaching when you’re in something like an inner circle: inner circle member, inner circle mastermind especially.

So, if you’re upper limiting yourself with “I can’t afford it,” but you know in your heart you need it, then ask yourself, “How can I?” Allow the universe to guide you and show you, because the price is not going down. It’s only going to go up again and again. Next year will go up again. Now, the year after that, who knows where we’re going to be? But I can tell you right now, the pricing for this year will go up for the next year. So, don’t wait for it to get cheaper because it won’t. So, if you would like to take your power, and if you look back at 2020 and you thought, “Wow, I’m such a victim of circumstance because of x, y, z…” And again, it is a very different environment, but one of the best things that you can do for yourself is empower yourself to have choice under any circumstance. And I promise you, you do. You just don’t see it. You’ve never tried it. It may be scary. It challenges your self-worth. It challenges your stability. I understand all of that. But you’re not going to grow and get this freedom and joy and security and love and passion and alignment that you possibly are looking for if you’re not allowing yourself to step beyond that which you know. Sometimes you have to believe in yourself to take the risk.

So, again, anyone interested in early bird pricing for the inner circle mastermind, please go to JJ’s innercirclemastermind.com. You only have until the 31st to secure that. I appreciate you. I love you. I support you. I want the best for you. In fact, I want the best for you probably more than many of you do. And that’s another reason why you have a coach or a group, because they usually can see higher and more than you allow yourself to. And having that kind of support can make all the difference in moving to the next level of your growth and expansion. Please take this question today, and use it today. “How can I?” “How can I get what I want? How can I do what I want to do? How can I achieve what I want to achieve? Universe, show me the way.” Have a great week.
