I celebrated 6 years in business . And while these 6 years have been quite a roller coaster and my business has changed a ton (I went from writing blogs, trying to monetize my blog, writing books to coaching) I have learned a lot along the way and I wanted to take some time to share it with you today!Here are my 6 greatest takeaways.

1. Don’t be scared to ask for help. A lot of times we buy into the idea that if we ask for help we’re doing something wrong or it’s a form of weakness. For me learning to ask for help took far too long but was a major game changer for me. So this may look like hiring a coach this may look like bringing on an assistant can look a lot of different movies but don’t be scared to ask for the help you deserve.

2. Trust your intuition. I can’t stress enough that your body knows best. Listen to it! So when you’re feeling called to do something specific (you’re feeling called to say yes to something or to even say no) trust that it is a safe form of internal guidance leading you to exactly what you deeply desire. Part of the reason it took me so long to scale was because I didn’t trust myself. Doing that internal work was such an eye opener for me.

3. Mindset is critical. For years I bought into the hustle, hard work and strategy component of building my business. And it left me with major burn out. It wasn’t until I decided to do some mindset work that things began to truly change for me. Here’s what I learned, you can have all the systems, strategy and support in the world but if your mindset isn’t aligned none of that’s going to matter so prioritize it. This experience is the very reason I weave mindset into the work I do with my clients. Having that balance of strategy and mindset is critical!

4. There is more than one way to define success in fact I wrote an entire dissertation on it. But to sum it up we have to change the narrative of what society has sold us as the normal version of success. For me buying into that 2.5 kids, married with a house with a white picket fence and a dog felt unaligned for me, but I normalized it for years. It’s no wonder why we carry that same approach into business.Here is the truth- There is no one sizes fits all model to growing your business.

5. Self care is a must- it’s tempting to put yourself on the back burner when you have such a big vision that stirs your spirit keeps you up at night and gives you so much energy and momentum. But without taking care of yourself it is a sure fire strategy to burn out and it surely won’t get you any closer to your goals. So as you create space to move toward your vision make sure that self-love and self care are a priority in that process .

6. Be yourself . Business, maybe one of the biggest personal development journeys ever. And it’s easy to lose yourself in the process because often your business can be a mirror, reflecting back some of your deepest and greatest insecurities. But one thing I’ve learned along this journey is that with each reflection I’ve had there’s something to be learned and more importantly, that if I try to mirror and match what everyone else is going, I’m going to burn myself out because I’m not being true to myself. Your authenticity is your greatest asset and learning how to leverage it will be the biggest game changer for you you

Manifestation begins with positive thoughts. Essentially you’re going to attract what you’re an energetic match for. When you become more aware of your thoughts and your surroundings, you start to notice relationships between what you think and what manifests itself in your life. If you’re reading this then you know you’re ready to create the life and business you desire and deserve. And that begins with reframing your thoughts to align with what you want to call into your life. Affirmations are a great step. Affirmations are essentially your way of expressing what you desire to attract.

Just a few short years ago scientists believed that our brain couldn't or wouldn't change after childhood. After further research they realized that was FALSE! The truth is our brain is adaptable like plastic that’s why scientists call it neuroplasticity. Studying this blew my mind! Our brain is like a grid that has a ton of pathways that light up when we think, feel or do something Some of these pathways are well traveled which is what we call habit- our establish way of thinking feeling and doing Every time we feel or do something it strengthens this pathway making it easier and easier for our brain to travel that pathway.

When you think about something differently or try to develop a new habit you begin to carve out a new pathway the more you continue to do this. If you keep traveling this pathway your brain uses it more and more and the new way of thinking feeling and doing becomes second nature We all have done this before and have the power to do it again in alignment with what you desire In today's video I am going to share the process to create affirmations to manifest a life you love.

Business is more mindset than it is strategy. This is something I wish I knew earlier on when I spent all of my energy trying to hustle and hard work my way to success. After learning the hard way that I couldn't outwork a negative mindset I have become one of the biggest advocates for mastering your mindset and I love teaching all about it from both the science and experience. So today I want to share the three mindset shifts I made that drastically shifted my business success.

1. I made decisions from where I wanted to be not where I am currently.

2. I prioritized and focused on gratitude

3. I moved from effect to cause and stepped into my power

4. I became a gentle observer of my limiting beliefs

In the early stages of my business I created content because I "had" to. I watched what every coach suggested and assumed I needed to mirror and match their strategy. What I didn't understand at the time is was creating content to check a proverbial box was meaningless. Even though I would create content my audience wouldn't connect. I knew what I was doing was not working and it definitely wasn't sustainable. When I went back to the drawing board I created a plan that was a game changer for me. So today I am going to share the two hacks that I incorporated that allowed me to create content in a way that was seamless and fun!

Are you having trouble growing your business? Or getting your business where you want it to go? I would highly recommend that you find yourself a good business coach. Business coaching is one of the most powerful things you can do to help you succeed in business.

A business coach can help you discover new opportunities, map out realistic and concrete goals, or even help you through the overwhelm of starting a new business. There are a lot of strong reasons why you should hire a coach for your business, and I'll explore them in this video. A business coach: Sounds fancy, sounds expensive and you might think they're out of your league. But the truth is that you need one.

They can help you take action on your ideas, improve your momentum and hit more targets. A business coach isn't just for experienced entrepreneurs or self-made millionaires, it's for anyone who has a dream, a goal, an idea that they want to turn into reality. Personally, I wouldn't be where I was today if it wasn't for my wonderful business coach and I am such an advocate for those who have a big vision to do the same.

I've always felt uncomfortable when it comes to selling. It felt like I had to be desperate or forceful to sell something even if it was of value. Can you relate? As an online entrepreneur, you may be thinking that you need to resort to hard selling techniques like manipulation and deception. But a sales cycle is more about the customer than it is about you, and satisfying their needs as best you can.

Have you ever thought about how long it takes from the moment your prospect first comes to your website, to the point where they purchase their first product? Or maybe even become a customer? The numbers aren't very pretty. According to a 2015 survey by Hubspot, 77% of leads never convert into customers. But if we look closer at this process, we see that there are various turning points during the sales cycle, some which allow us to interact with our prospects and help them along their journey toward becoming an invested customer.

One of those turning points is when a prospect becomes interested in what you have to offer. This doesn't mean they're usually ready to purchase right away though. They may just want more information, or a few tips and tricks before they make their decision. In today's episode, I am going to walk you through the sales cycle process and how you can take your customer from interested to invested.

Change is difficult. Changing long-held beliefs and habits is even more difficult. Changing behavior is the hardest of all. That's why it's so important to use a proven method for making permanent lifestyle changes. With the logical levels of change, you will learn how to master change on a transformational level. The reason why I love this concept is because it makes behavior change easier to accomplish.

When faced with an unwanted habit or a negative emotion, most people simply set their intention, commit to the change, and expect things to miraculously happen within a certain amount of time (i.e., two weeks). But this doesn't work! So instead of setting those unrealistic expectations, focus on the logical levels of change.

The logical levels model is a very helpful tool for personal change in that it gives a framework for identifying why things happen the way they do. It is often used in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), in which they provide a helpful structure for looking at what’s happening in any individual and their experiences. Change doesn't happen when you're lucky it happens when you're intentional.

The logical levels of change model is a useful way to track your progress on the road to permanent behavior change. You may not always begin with a highly motivated intention, but by following through with your choices and behavior, you'll gradually reinforce the habit until it becomes natural—and then, like riding a bike, you probably won't think about it much anymore.

In the end, we can only make change permanent by continuing to work on the level at which we're making it permanent. Change becomes a long-term reality when we develop new habits, break old patterns, and build skills in our lives. Let's make some changes in our lives, and do it for good this time.

Inside of The ELEVATE Method we do the mindset work and aligned action to create the changes you desire not only in your personal life, but in your business as well. If you know you're ready to make this your norm Learn more about the program here: www.nicolyawilliams.com/elevate

Somatic work is important because it helps us to understand our bodies and experiences. It helps us to feel more in control of who we are and the life that we want to lead. It allows us to connect with our bodies on a deeper level, which can help us deal with physical, mental, and emotional pain.  Somatic practices help us to create a more calm, clear space for ourselves. They can help us to cultivate mindfulness and mindfulness is the key to making peace with our inner challenges and challenges in life.  In addition, somatic work is an important part of any practitioner's toolkit.

Creating content can be overwhelming. You see all the coaches telling you that you have to be on all the social sites, do reels, lives, blogs, podcasts.etc. Not to mention they tell you that you have to post three times a day to be effective. Then you're left wondering what to say, how often to post, and how to relate to your tribe.

In sets overwhelm and this is why many people give up on content creation all together.

I have learned on my journey that there is NOT a one size fits all model to relating to your audience and creating content. And ultimately you have to do what works for you.

Today I am going to share the four pillars to creating content that magnetizes your soul mate clients right to you and how you can begin to weave this into the way that you show up!

And shout out to my coach Heaven who taught me the importance of following my clients journey to create content that converts. She has a very similar model that helped me create this one that works really well for me.

I got a question this morning about how I am able to consistently create and put out content. While I could give you a million different strategies the game changer for me was truly watching what I consume.

What you take in will reflect what you put out. This means when you're watching low vibe shows, listening to low vibe music and surrounding yourself with negative people your output, or lack thereof, will reflect that. But with the same token when you change what you're consuming you will change what you put out!

1. Create consistently- the more you make a routine of it, the more it becomes a natural habit. So plan a time when you will be most productive and make it your norm.

2. Be open to inspiration- inspiration can come from anywhere, but we often spend so much time trying to force ourselves to find it that we miss it

3. Take a break- the more time we give ourselves to be still, is the more time we can tune into what our intuition is telling us.

4. Talk to your audience- getting feedback from those who you are working with the more awareness you can have in how you will be able to support them.

5. Let go of the idea that it has to be perfect. Trying to be perfect is a surefire way to self sabotage, overthink and in turn throw in the proverbial towel. Give yourself room to create and edit and adjust later.

6. Watch what you take in- What you take in (listen to, watch, the environment you're in and the people you're around) has a much greater impact on you that you can imagine. Be cognizant of this and make shifts when necessary.

All in all creating content does not have to be complex. We often like to overcomplicate it, but now you have the tools to get your creative juices flowing. So give it a go! Your future self will thank you for it!

Regardless of what you decide it’s important you learn more about how they run, why they are valuable and what to call them so you can determine whether or not they fit into your business model.

Discovery calls are a great way to be introduced to a potential client and for them to also be introduced to your brand. Ultimately you get to decide whatever you end up calling this first interaction. You just need to be crystal clear on what it entails, what’s to be expected and wear your expert hat the whole time.

Strategy calls are simply a phone call or coffee meeting that you book to talk to a potential client . The difference, in my eyes with strategy and discovery calls is that strategy calls you’re discussing a strategy or offering some form of coaching and then also opening up an offer for the next step

A discovery call is the first conversation with a potential client after they show initial interest in your product or offer. It's your opportunity to get to know the individual to see if they would be a good fit for your offer. ... Discovery calls also give you the chance to ask questions about your prospects' needs and goals. With discovery calls there isn’t always coaching involved as with strategy calls.

A discovery call is also known as a “sales call,” “strategy call,” or “clarity call”— those are some of the most common names.

The typical structure for these calls goes as…

Build rapport

Share a little about how the call will go

Let them share why they wanted to have a call and where they are stuck

Discuss how you could support them

Determine next steps together

I highly recommend you record your discovery calls this will allow you to reflect on what you can improve upon and also hone in on some market research aspects as well.

The benefit of these calls

1. You get to help your clients feel supported . The truth is moving towards your vision can feel very lonely- whether it’s starting a business or writing a book or healing after a breakup and the like many people feel alone. A discovery call is a great opportunity for you to create space for your potential client to feel heard and supported . That is a very powerful feeling.
2. You get to learn the market research needs. When you’re doing discovery calls it’s important that you really pay attention to what it is that your potential client is complaining about and also seeking support with. This will help you with creating content moving forward. It will also help you to edit your offer to align with what it is your audience is actually seeking. I have even gone as far as paying attention to frequent words my audience uses and weave them into my offers. For example my Happily Divorce Course was titled based on women telling me they just wanted to be “happy” again! Do not discount the power of learning from your potential clients too.
3. You get to offer opportunities for people to take the next step with you. Exposure is powerful and discovery calls is a powerful way to showcase what it is that you have to offer. The Rule of Seven is an old marketing concept. It basically states that a prospect needs to see or hear your marketing message at least seven times before they take action and buy from you. Now the number seven isn’t cast in stone. It’s essentially stating that you can’t just market one time and be done. You have to show up in creative ways to meet their audience where they are and let them see what it is that you have to offer !

Considering this what are your thoughts about weaving in a connection call or some sort into your business model?

It's easy to get caught up in the busy-ness and feel like your body is falling apart.

Stress, anxiety and trauma take a serious toll on the nervous system, affecting everything from your hormones to your digestion. When our bodies are taxed, we tend to reach for external solutions rather than turn inward. We look for ways to ease the ache of chronic pain or remedy sleep issues with medications that suppress symptoms instead of treating the underlying issue. But drugs aren't solving our health problem; they're just masking it. The real solution lies in tuning in to what your body is telling you -- or rather, signaling you through physical sensations -- so that you can learn how to calm yourself down at a cellular level.

In todays episode I will talk about how to create a somatic practice toolkit! Remember: your nervous system exists to help you live a healthy life, so don’t be afraid of it in fact it’s imperative that you learn how to take care of !

Influence and persuasion a​re extremely powerful skills that any individual can have. They are useful far beyond the realm of the world of work​ as ​​persuasion and influence are simply tools to get others to do things that you want them to do. This power can be used for good, to genuinely help others achieve outcomes that are in their own best interest. ​As a coach it's something that should be both understood and used with integrity.​​  The six key principles ​Dr. ​Cialdini identified ​in his book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion​ ​​are: reciprocity, scarcity, authority, commitment and consistency, liking and consensus​. While this works in a lot of areas I want to dive in, today, to discuss how you can leverage these principles into the work you do as a coach.

If you have a viral reel but no one follows you that is NOT an audience.

Having 777 people on your list and no one to engage that’s missing 777 opportunities

You don’t want that and I don’t want that for you either! So today I am going to discuss 6 simple strategies you can begin to implement today to nurture your small audience and to effectively scale it.

Let’s first begin by defining your audience. It’s not just people who follow you online it’s the people who consume your content and can’t wait for what’s next. I call this your tribe. This is a HUGE and important difference that can (and should) shift your entire mindset about audience growth.

1. Be curious about who they are - ask questions on your stories etc to learn more about them. Then leverage their responses to consider what you can create to support them!

2. Let your audience help you create- this is really for them but also deeply supports you (show them how your brands unfolds and let them be apart of it). So for example if you’re creating an ebook ask then which cover they like better etc.

3. Be consistent and creative- post regularly in a way that works for you and rotate between podcast or social or reels and static posts etc this helps you to reach your audience based on the way in which they like to consume content.

4. Nurturing and educating your audience before you launch (for example for weeks before I launched elevate method I talked about each unique modality and the power of each one). Doing this helps you to balance giving value with selling

5. Talk about your offer without actually pitching it. The goal here is to get them on the edge of their seat to let them see what’s coming and to get them hyped up about it. It also prevents them from being confused about what’s coming next

6. Showcase your amazing offer and pitch it - after you have done these foundational steps share your offer with your tribe.

As you can see nurture and scaling your audience doesn’t have to be complex! What is one strategy you can commit to today to effectively nurture and in turn grow your audience?

How do you spend your morning ? Research says that the first 20 minutes after we wake up is when our brain is most vulnerable!Unfortunately, that’s usually when we rush to our phone and jump up hurriedly because we are running later etc. It is tempting to fill our early waking hours with being rushed, hurried, or annoyed, but I want to challenge you to make the most out of your morning because this simple commitment will change the trajectory of your day! Over the years I have learned the power of having a strong morning routine and it has changed my life! Today I want to share my morning routine and why it’s so valuable. 1. Pray- it’s so important to me that I start my day off with gratitude and intention. So before my feet even hit the floor I make it a priority to Thank God for the day and set and intention! This has been so pivotal for me to feel connected and grounded! 2. Drink water- my aim each day is 64 ounces and I always get near or more than! This is so important to stay hydrated and energized so I can show up for you guys fully! It helps that I keep filled water bottles throughout my house. 3. EFT- no matter what I accomplish or how hard I work those Intrusive thoughts and limiting beliefs can be super real and hard to combat. While I have so many neat tools to use when they come up . Majority of the time I chose tapping as my go to tool to balance my energy and get me feeling super high vibe. 4. Planing- I have learned that if it doesn’t work on paper it won’t work in reality. So when I am planning my day (typically the night before) I build in at least one self care activity (we can’t pour from an empty cup), a power hour to work on my most exciting goals, family time, client time, learning time etc. I have mastered the art of being proactive and less reactive and it may have been one of the best skills to this day that I have ever cultivated. Check out the best planner I have ever bought here: The Planner That Changed My Life: https://youtu.be/Wsl_-o1YZK05. Motivation - I am a life long learner and feeding that desire of mine helps me to grow and to even support you guys on a deeper level. I pick a podcast, a course module, a book or a blog to read each and every day. Move my body - being diagnosed with anxiety I chose the natural route to work with it. 6. If you’re interested in learning more about human design check out this amazing free training here: https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/living-aligned-by-design-workshop. This has made a noticeable difference in my overall mental health !7. Eating- I am not a health freak and I certainly mess up with my eating habits but one thing I don’t forget or overlook is making sure I eat each and every morning. While it may sound like a lot to start my morning it’s become such a habit that it all happens in perfect flow! This is why I decided to share this with you today because I want you to begin to consider how you can create your very own morning rhythm! If you’re looking to get started on your evening routine I have the perfect book for you. In my book The Devoted Dreamers I walk you through a simple acronym you can use to make your evening routine seamless.

You are your greatest asset. We often spend time investing in clothes, shoes, hair etc, but the reality is the greatest return comes when you take time to invest in yourself. In today's video I talk about the tell tale signs that let you know it's time to invest.

I still remember my first BIG investment like it was yesterday! I was so scared and literally shaking when I hit the buy button.

I called a good friend of mine on the phone and said "don't let me talk myself out of this" and guess what? I hit BUY!!

Was I scared? Yup But you know what else? I trusted myself and it felt so liberating! It may have been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Investing in my business literally transformed my business and my life! It even changed the way I work to make aligned decisions Whenever I am dealing with fear around a major decision I always ask myself .... “What’s the absolute worst that could happen?”⁣ ⁣ I then give myself permission to be a total pessimist aka negative Nancy ⁣ And then I consider....... “What would happen if that did happen? What would be next? “ And I realize with each and every EXTREME scenario I play out I know that at bare minimum I would come back to right where I am.

I then smile and realize I am certainly resilient and way more resourceful than I give myself credit for. Interestingly enough, I had a coach tell me once that we all have a thermometer for success and we usually keep it at the temperature we’re most comfortable with. Yours happens to be right where you’re at - which is already your worse case scenario. Knowing this, what do you have to lose by taking a leap of faith on your dreams?

Once you fully understand this you come to see you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by trusting in yourself and your dreams!

I could literally be thrown on stage tomorrow and talk goal setting with no preparation because I love it. It hasn't always been that way, but through learning NLP I came to love it. If you're new to NLP, NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming, and it is a pseudoscientific approach to communication and personal development that was developed back by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, which I love so much. I’ve found SMART goal-setting has been extremely helpful for accomplishing my goals over the last few years , but using the NLP model has taken it to an entirely new level. Since I am sure you are already familiar with traditional SMART goals let's talk about it using NLP

With NLP You're setting goals that....

S- You SEE YOURSELF accomplishing. You can take it a step further and bring in all of your senses (since your subconscious doesn't know the difference between your imagination and what's real) it will be drawn to manifesting it.

M- Setting goals that are MEANINGFUL to you. You are not going to maintain motivation if the goal isn't aligned with what you deeply desire.

A- ALL AREAS- you want to set the ones that create domino effect meaning they don't only impact the one area in your life, but many other areas as well.

R-RESPONSIBLE aka ecological. When thinking of your goals you want to ensure it's safe for you and all involved. Remember your vision is so much bigger than you.

T- TOWARDS MOTIVATED. Whatever the subconscious mind holds is what it's drawn towards therefore it's imperative that when you set your goals you're focused on what you DO want, not what you don't want.

I challenge you to use the NLP framework to manifest your vision for the next year. This year is yours!

I got an amazing question from someone I'm connected with online today, and it inspired me to not only answer it there but also come over here to my blog and answer it as well. The question that she asked is, how do you embrace your authenticity? I love this question so much because authenticity is a major value of mine. It's something that I prioritize not only in my brand, in the way that I show up, but also in the suggestions and in the support that I give my clients. A struggle that I see in this online space in general is I see so many copycat coaches, in a sense that they see someone that has a podcast, they want a podcast, they see someone that has a YouTube channel. Now they feel like they have a YouTube channel. They see that this brand is a certain color, and they feel like they need to have their brand match that same color. All of these things are great, but only when you’re doing it because it feels aligned. The truth is that it requires more energy to be someone you're not than it does to just simply be yourself.

So today I want to talk about how you can begin to embrace your authenticity and how this can truly change your entire life.The definition of authenticity refers to the proven fact that something is legitimate or real. When we talk about being authentic within ourselves it's about embracing the true version of us. A major part of my brand is authenticity. Embracing authenticity is one of the most life changing things you could ever do, because it changes the way you show up in your business. In today's episode I will walk you through the process of embracing your authentic self and re committing to it each day.

For most of us we enter into the entrepreneurial space with the intention of changing things. Perhaps we had a poor experience at a previous work, and we have strong convictions that there must be a better method, so we set out to discover and define it. Or we have this deep desire to share our gifts with the world. We all eventually reach a point where we'll need to respond to questions that speak directly to the impact we wish to have: mission, vision, core values, differentiators, and who we aim to serve.

This is true regardless of whether our path to entrepreneurship started out out of necessity or was initiated from a lack of other viable options or it was the deep conviction to do what we are called to do. All in all your values the foundation of your character. They hold the potential to positively influence the choices and the directions you take in relationships, career, community, pastimes, spirituality and so on. Therefore as a coach it's important to know what your values are because your character is built on your particular values.

They have the strong potential to have an impact on the decisions and course of action and in turn your success. In today's video, I am going to share how I personally weave my core values into my life and business as a coach.

Values are important because they give us a sense of identity. They allow us to identify with other people and make meaningful connections that would otherwise be impossible. Values drive every decision that a person makes. Without values, we are aimless, we are misguided, and we are unfulfilled. In this video I talk about what values actually are, why they're important to us as human beings and I give examples of my own values. In today's episode, I am going to walk you through how values contribute to your success.  Learn more about ELEVATE: www.nicolyawilliams.com/elevate

Values are the principles by which we live our lives. They guide us in making decisions, provide moral guidance in decision-making and help us navigate difficult times. Values can be expressed as beliefs, actions or feelings; they're a part of who we are and how we see ourselves as individuals within society. In business, values serve as a compass guiding and directing you and decisions and actions.

In today's episode, I am going to show you how you can leverage your values to stand out as a coach. If you want to learn your stand out coaching strategy take the quiz here: https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/stand-out-coach-strategy Values is something I find to be extremely important.

Your values can act like a compass, guiding you to life and career choices that give you meaning. Knowing your personal values is imperative. It will help you to find fulfillment and direction in life. It also impacts your decisions and in turn your results. In today's video we will talk about how to uncover your values.

Once you discover your personal values, you can use them as a framework to redesign your life and a way to assess your life as well.

List out things that are important to you and Determine why they are important What motivates you and why?

Identify 3-5 experiences where you truly felt alive and engaged. What about them made you feel alive? identify 2 or 3 people who you admire, such as family members, friends, leaders, celebrities, or fictional characters.

Then, figure out what you admire about them, such as their accomplishments or talents Consider what you wish you had and what you think is preventing you from having it (i.e. becoming an author is important, but you value extra time to spend with family and watch movies) After you’ve done 1 or more activities compile a list of the top values of yours.

Start at the top of your list and work your way down. Think about how each value is reflected in your life and how closely you follow it. It's important to note that as we grow, change and expand through our life, values may do the same.

Three strategies that are important when it comes to goal setting   Become a gentle observer- there is a concept in the personal development space referenced as a gentle observer. This is where you observe your experiences from a place of grace. Not judging not beating yourself up but from a place of being open to learn. When you look at your past goals what has worked ? What has not? What can you learn from those experiences ? Allow yourself to learn from that experience and use that moving forward .   Always keep learning - going on a diet doesn’t just include our food and drinks it’s also about what you take in and the people and places you spend your time in. It’s so important that you’re mindful of the things you put into your body- physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. If you spend all of your time watching tv, going to happy hour and laying around scrolling on your phone it’s going to be hard to move toward your vision. Now don’t get me wrong it’s great to do all of those things, but in moderation. I challenge you to find time to expand your exposure with things related to your goal. This may be listening to new podcasts, watching educational videos or reading informative blogs or hiring a coach. Massive growth takes place when you let your brain run wild and give it room to learn and grow.   Be willing to take risks- if you always play safe you will never get to see what expansive opportunities are available for you. While your comfort zone feels appealing no growth or transformation takes place there. I read a quote recently that goes as “our best goals lie somewhere in between “safe” and “unattainable.”  I couldn’t agree more . What risk can you take today that your future self will thank you for?

I know the value of support not only from me being able to give it to other people, but also from my own experiences. I have had counselors in the past. I've had coaches in the past, and I've had things that haven't worked, and I've had things that have worked. But for the most part, my support has allowed me to achieve the success that I truly desire, and to some extent some of the things that I got out of it. I'm not sure that I would have been able to get on my own. So today I want to talk about the difference between coaching and counseling.

The truth is, the two can overlap in some ways, but there are some differences as well. The first thing is financial differences with coaching. A coach can determine their prices, and it's not covered under medical insurance, whereas counseling, sometimes you may be paying out of pocket. Sometimes your insurance may cover it. I went to see a Christian counselor once who was 100% out of pocket.

But I've also known of counselors that bill medical insurance, and so counseling can be either. The other difference is credentials. So as counselors, you have to be licensed through your state, you also have had to go to college and get a degree to counsel or give therapy. Whereas coaches, there is no requirement to be certified as a coach as of yet (https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/blog/2021/04/how-to-pick-the-right-certification-program?rq=certification) . Now, the International Coach Federation does certify people, but not everyone is certified. And let me say that everyone who is certified is not always qualified.

Technically, anyone can call themselves a coach if they'd like to label themselves with that. It's why it's so important to really understand what kind of coach you're looking for and what credentials they have, what experience they have, what their history is, what their clients are saying and their testimonials and their success stories. I know that sounds crazy that anyone could call themselves a coach, but the truth is, there are some people that are extremely qualified based on their own experiences and their own life, as well as working with other people. There's a lot of similarities and there's a lot of differences with coaching and with counseling. For me personally I worked as counselor for years and so the transition into coaching was really exciting for me. In addition I have experienced both from a consumer side. I have had counselors and I have worked with many coaches. Because of my experience in working in both arenas and being a client in both I know that there are pros and cons to each. My goal is to help to make you aware and informed so that you're making an informed decision about the kind of support that you need on your journey.

The best way to start this is to identify what you're really looking for in regards to support. Are you looking for someone to be in the trenches with you? Are you looking for someone to hold you accountable? Are you looking for someone just to listen to you? What are you looking for?

In summary, Both therapists and properly trained coaches can help individuals who want to make changes in their lives. When you identify that, then you can start to see where you're going to get the best support. You can start to see where you're going to struggle, where you'll need support, and most importantly, where you'll get the best support. Again, the point is not to choose for you. The point is to arm you with information so that you can start taking steps to get the support that you need. If you have any more questions, feel free to comment below and let me know.

A traditional business model for coaches and solopreneurs is to charge hourly for their coaching sessions. We’re all trained to think that way, from the time we get our first jobs as teens at a fast food joint and it’s an easy mentality to carry with us through adulthood. But if you hold onto that pattern, you’ll soon realize that you’ve created a finite ceiling to how much you can make as there are only so many hours in each day. And realistically, you won’t be coaching for 10 straight hours; you’ll need breaks in between and prep time for each client. So, instead of relying solely on individual coaching clients, it’s time to look at alternate streams of income that can supplement your coaching income. 1. Create group coaching programs 2. Create a signature product 3. Create low and mid-priced products 4. Publish a book 5. Embrace affiliate marketing Each of these tips can assist in getting you out of that “dollars for hours” mentality but you don’t have to delve into all of them at the same time. Take them one at a time, especially the affiliate marketing because that will require some product research. Finally, take note of the ones that bring in the most revenue so you can narrow your focus on what works with your audience.

When we are going after goals we have this pressure to bring them to fruition. And I’m turn we operate from a place of force instead of operating from a place of flow. This is because we are tied and attached to a specific outcome. While that seems normal it’s one of the worst habits to get into if you want to bring your goal to fruition.

Detaching from the outcome is so important because when we can detach and when we release the how we get to surrender on a deeper level and amazing things can happen. Sadly we are so conditioned to believe that we have to control everything and in turn we become fixated on the outcome and the way things have to happen. When we are setting a goal we focus on what we want to call into our lives then we get attached to how it can happen. When we detach from the outcome we create an energetic space for these things to be able to flow to us in new, creative and expansive ways.

For example when I am launching I like to keep busy because I used to always micromanage my way through my launches. When you’re not you’re in a state of anticipation which means you’re in a state of expectancy and in turn you’re splitting your attention and energy between faith and fear when you are fearful you’re attracting more of Thag Here are the steps to detaching Clear on what you don’t want and then shift that to get crystal clear on what it is you do want. Identify where you feel the pressure to control things Find the safety in releasing control (even if only a little at a time) Identify things that will help you see the benefit to releasing control. This validates that it’s safe to detach and still have the blessing.

One of the most relatable quotes I have ever heard is: You can miss who you’re called to be because you’re attached to who you have decided to be——don’t miss your breakthrough by forcing and settling for something less

Have you ever heard that you can't really make good money passively? I bought into this belief for years and it kept me playing super small. What about the idea that if you are earning passive income it's a scam- meaning basically you're getting something but the people that bought from you receive nothing? That felt super icky to me. Especially since one of my top values is impact.

Or maybe you heard it to be true that if you want to earn passive income it requires more work than just showing up? Hearing this made me wonder what fun is that- you might as well keep doing what you're doing. I don't know about you, but leaving myself to accept all of these myths I quickly came to believe that passive income was overrated. And as a result I never even tried to attempt finding a way to earn passive income in business. I figured it would require too much work, it was a scam so I might as well do what I know.

And that meant buying into the 9-5 mindset...where I showed up for every single dollar I earned. and I stayed here believing that one solid source of income would provide me the safety and security I was seeking. Have you heard that one solid income source is all you need? If the pandemic taught us anything it was that having one stream of income is too close to none. This was a scary time for many, especially for me as a single mom. But something magnificent happened when I wrote my first book​.

I started to make $50 a month PASSIVELY and it intrigued me.​ I got a small taste of what passive income was and it changed my life. So I started to play with it on a larger scale. I took my former master classes and sold those as small stand alone products. I took visualizations and sold those. Then I took it up a notch and took one of my best selling LIVE courses and sold it ever green style. This is where things really began to change for me in business. And you know what I learned- if you don't learn how to make money while you sleep, rest or travel you will literally spend the rest of your life having to work. ​I don't know about you, but this was NOT appealing to me! Not one bit.​

Since then I have been one of the biggest advocates for helping women just like you earn money passively so that you can have the freedom you desire and deserve. The future you is depending on you to make the right choice today....... If you're ready to learn how, join us in my upcoming workshop passive profits where I will teach you how to take your passion and profit from it PASSIVELY!

The concept of “the calling” (not just a “job” or “vocation”) has been widely used to describe our personal purpose in life. Our calling is the reason why we were born and the legacy we will leave to the world.

It seems so easy for some people: they go to school and know the major to choose. Then, they graduate and know the exact path their career and life will take. They have found their life’s calling.

But what happens if it’s not that easy.

Maybe you feel like you have no clue

Maybe you thought you had a clue but realize you have been climbing the wrong ladder

Maybe you have tried a million different ideas and nothing feels like it quite fits

Well today I want you to tune in because we have lots to talk about

I got a question in my DM about finding my calling and helping my daughters niche,

My response felt so aligned and I knew immediately I needed to share this beyond my inbox so that is what we will chat about today!

A big misconception of finding your calling is that it should be all rainbows and butterflies

Your calling won’t fit in a box and therefore it will be both exciting AND scary. It will force you to step outside of your comfort zone. To do things you’ve never done before. To be visible in the world. It’ll test you. Stretch you. Challenge you. Break you, even, at times. But it will be worth it

A question I got recently is how can you be a hypnotherapist and Christian? And the answer is yes you can be both!!! YES I am an unapologetic believer! Christ is my savior and God's son. He died on the cross for my sins and I am forever thankful for Him. And yes I am also a certified hypnotherapist as well.  While to me, I recognize you can be both I know that most people don't understand how....and the reason I know this is because I was one of them.  When I first sought out to improve my skills as a coach I was seeking a program to learn about EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). I found an amazing program that would help me to become certified in EFT. but the caveat was it also helped me to become certified in hypnotherapy.  I was extremely hesitant about the hypnotherapy piece, but I prayed and felt this was the best decision for my business. I even was sure to ask another believer to pray and hold me accountable if I got too far out of line. I then decided to move forward trusting God was with me the entire time.   When I began the program I was totally closed off to hypnotherapy and decided to put my focus on the EFT portion of the program. While I was loving that I noticed that I started to get more curious about hypnotherapy. People were sharing in our online group how it was blowing their mind and the results they were getting. I wanted that and for once I felt like my guard was coming down.  I believe the reason I started to let my guard down was because my coach was always drilling in our head that prior to using hypnotherapy with a patient we needed to ensure it was ethical for 1. the patient/client 2. the clinician 3. the world. I also learned how some people would use it regardless of this, but I was in a group of women who wanted to change the world in the RIGHT way. This level of accountability and support made me feel safe to give it a try. So I took the leap and scheduled a session with one of the women in the program, whom I trusted  I went in for a 45 minute session, and a lot of skepticism and much to my surprise this session changed my life.   I then decided to try hypnotherapy on a great friend of mine who was struggling with losing weight and loving herself totally. She wanted to be more confident and consistent with working out and removing excuses. We did ONE 45 minutes session and since then my friend has lost 30 pounds and worked out 2-3 times per week consistently for the last 6 months!  Hypnosis  can be equated to guided visualization. Many people say that it is a a calm, physically, and mentally relaxed state, where they are able to focus deeply on what they are thinking about.  In fact, hypnosis came from the greek word hypnos to sleep, Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction.  Literally hypnosis is a great way to get in a relaxed place and open your mind to what you truly desire. It's a powerful way to connect with subconscious to reprogram thoughts/behaviors/actions.   Honestly there is nothing demonic or "woo woo" about it. As the clinician my job is to get you to share your deepest desires, then get you to relax and then I guide you through what it is that you want from a different perspective so you can see what it looks and feels like. More importantly so you can see that this available to you.   Hypnosis is so life changing and I feel like it's a crime that more people don't know about it. As a counselor I have never been more impressed with the shift and breakthroughs that have been created with my clients using hypnotherapy.

Decision fatigue is a state of mental overload that can impede our ability to make additional decisions. A more simplified way to explain this is that decision fatigue refers to the mental exhaustion a person experiences after making a lot of decisions. And essentially it is the assumption that the less decisions you have to make the less exhausted or overwhelmed you will feel. Psychologists consider decision fatigue  the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making. The good news is you don't have to stay stuck in the struggle. So let's talk about how to work through decision fatigue 1. Make your biggest decisions earlier in the day when you're energized and focused. 2. Try to eliminate decision making when possible. (For example meal prepping at the beginning of the week prevents you from having to decide what to make for dinner every night.) 3. Build breaks into your day. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off 2x per day and it says "am I creating from a place of joy or a place of stress" this alarm serves as a gentle reminder to check in with myself and get in touch with what I need in that moment. 4. Get a partner or good friend to weigh in. For me, with an undefined ajna and head center (human design) getting that time to talk it out and get support is extremely freeing and helpful. So get support when you can. 5. Consider writing out a pro's and con's list when you have to make a major decision. This will help you to think it through and reduce the likelihood that you will regret the decision later. 6. When you feel tempted to make a rash or impulsive decision give yourself a chance to take a break. 7. Create and commit to a set routine. Implementing this structure will help you to save time, while simultaneously bringing a sense of consistency in your life. It will also eliminate the need for you to make decisions for some of your basic and routine tasks. Plus your brain loves that consistency. 8. Reflect on past experiences. Sometimes the inability to make a decision is rooted in the fact that you don't trust yourself based on past decisions . One strategy I have found to be exceptionally helpful is to reflect on decisions I have made in the past that were good. I also will look at the ones that were hard, but what I learned from them. This experience and activity always gives me the boost of confidence and energy I need to make decisions both big and small. 9. This may be the most difficult, yet most important- after you make your decision do not waiver. Trust yourself, and trust the process. Ultimately no decision is "wrong" because it's at bare minimum teaching you something. Embrace your power to make healthy decisions and move forward. I have learned the more I trust myself-the better decisions I am starting to make. Regardless of how strong, hardworking or disciplined you are, your ability to make the best choices can eventually run out due to decision fatigue. This is why it is important to not only identify decision fatigue, but to make sense of it can save you a lot of energy emotionally, but can also conserve your time.

In the coaching space there are so many terms being thrown around that it can be so confusing about what means what. In today’s blog I am going to give you a description of each !

Let’s begin with the difference between a mastermind, group coaching program and a course!

Courses and group coaching programs were created in order to teach people something and to be able to access people from all over the world. The goal is to teach them something: * New * Valuable, and * Impactful With the course and group coaching program you can deliver information to your students to take and implement into their own lives or businesses. 

A group coaching program has content, structure, curriculum, and coaching from the person facilitating the program. This typically consists of people traveling in a cohort format through the program .

A course on the other hand can be delivered on demand or gone through at your own pace. A course is a hub in which information is shared on a specific subject (money mindset, business, writing a book etc.)

Courses are usually hosted through a learning management system (I.e. kajabi, teachable, thinkific), in which students can view their course syllabus, the modules and academic progress, as well as communicate with other students and their instructor.

Both routes should have tangible takeaways, practical action steps, and support (this could include but it’s not limited to a workbook, activities, coaching calls, online community, or check-ins) as you apply the learning materials to your life.

A mastermind is a group of like minded people who “mastermind” aka share ideas to bring forth a power of creativity and support. A true mastermind is made by those in the group. They are committed to one another. A group coaching program is a group of people who come together to learn a subject or curriculum and receive coaching from the coach. A mastermind has no content. The coach is a facilitator; the one who attracts the right people into the group.

One on one coaching - Private coaching requires more personalized attention and more of your time. This is catered to the client and their needs. It can be supplemented with workbooks or trainings as you see fit.

——-

What’s the difference between a masterclass, webinar and workshop?

For me when I host webinars they are free. Here I am typically sharing steps they can avoid & then they go off and do it on their own.

Trainings and masterclasses are often used interchangeably. I usually use this instead of the word webinar because that sounds corporate focused. Masterclasses are specialty classes in which the learning objectives take place through in-depth practice paid with detailed instruction.

The word “webinar” is a mix of the phrase “web-based seminar.” The webinar topic is supposed to be closely aligned with whatever the host is selling.

Workshops are usually paid because The host/ coach etc is walking you through the work . In addition to guiding you they are giving room for feedback. For example, I recently hosted a workshop on tapping and I helped the attendees walk through and tap on their own. I also talked about creating scripts etc.

Ultimately when you’re presenting remember you’re a master and people are looking at you as the authority! You get to use these platforms as the chance to showcase your expertise and let people know how they can work with you.

Does the idea of creating content overwhelm you? Maybe you find yourself creating never ending content just to have very minimal engagement

Or maybe you don’t even know what to create

We have to do away with the idea of creating content just for creation’s sake.

When you think about the content you’re creating would you say it…

• aligns with your brands values?
• Meets your clients where they currently are at and shows them how you can further support them?
• builds your brands authority and trust?

If not listen up…

Your content is the first way people get to experience your brand. So you want to make it solid!

In todays video I am going to share how you can create a comprehensive content creation plan and avoid the burnout !

I firmly believe that every coach has their own unique approach to coaching, However, most coaching sessions share a common structure and unfold in much the same way. So today we will talk about how you can run a coaching session from start to finish without the overwhelm.

1. Build rapport

2. Listen to your client

3. Support your client

4. Tasking for your client

5. Close Out

Being organized and having a plan will help you feel in control and always know how to conduct a coaching session with confidence. So keep this list of steps handy and trust that the more you practice the more you get to make it your own.

As a coach you have a very powerful role! When people invest in you (time and money) they are trusting you. Therefore it's imperative to make a commitment to improve your own skills and competencies. If you're ready to learn more about your STAND OUT coaching strategy and how you can weave this into the work you do take the free quiz here: www.nicolyawilliams.com/stand-out-coach-strategy

While still down with covid I started to reflect on the three pillars that helped me build the foundation for seeing my vision through. In today's podcast episode I stripped audio from a brief motivational live I did about these pillars and why you should take time to consider and reflect on them today.

Covid kicked my butt....but it taught me a lot.

So for the last two weeks I have been forced to be still and thanks to my undefined sacral that was super hard for me.

I realized that even though I had loads of content pre-batched and ready to go I was worried how things would change if I was just laying in bed all day.

I had such a massive quantum leap the month before and the idea of "loosing momentum" scared me sooo much.

And I realized it was because I hadn't done the deep work around increasing my level of safety.

So I went in and did lots of praying, deep reflection, tapping and hypnotherapy- all the tools I have at hand and know the power of.

My intuition lead to me to start looking and I found an amazing concept called The Four Permissions.

Permission to say “No”

When we are unable to say “No” in the midst of surrounding togetherness pressure, we lose a little of ourselves. It's imperative that we are okay with saying "no". This is not about being selfish, it’s about knowing who you are, what you believe, and what you need.

Permission to ask for what you need

Knowing how to take care of yourself means you can ask for what you need and being confident you're worthy of it.

Permission to make mistakes

It’s simple to say, but not easy to implement. You can tell yourself it’s OK to make mistakes, but there are voices in your head calling you a failure and the like. Giving yourself this permission will make you more likely to take appropriate risks putting you on the fast track to where you want to be quicker.

Permission to rethink

Just because “we’ve always done it this way before,” doesn’t mean we have to keep it up. Sometimes when things aren’t working and it's okay to reflect, reframe and re-do.

Giving yourself these permissions helps you to create healthy emotional space, and trust again in yourself. It also show's others what is available for them as well.

These four permissions are great guidelines to show you how to get in touch with yourself and how increase your level of self trust

How would your life change if you gave yourself permission to implement these permissions?

I have worked with some of the most powerful coaches who unfortunately have burned the candles at both ends or hustled their way to burn out. I don't know about you, but I know I can relate to that. They leave the nine to five just to find out that they're working 60 to 80 hours a week for themselves making less money and maybe even less of an impact. Or they move into business and they're trying to help everyone, losing themselves in the process, filling everyone's cup and emptying theirs at the same time. I don't want that for you. And that's why today I want to talk about the three telltale signs that let you know if it's time to move to high value coaching, also known as high impact coaching.

In the coaching space we hear of high ticket coaching, which is about raising your price, but sadly I feel like many people put so much emphasis on the income, not always prioritizing the impact.

I want you to be able to shift the structure so that you can build the business that is not only profitable, impactful and sustainable. So let's dive in and talk about those three telltale signs that it's time to move to high value and high impact coaching.

One way to attract more customers to your business is through amazing launch events (Challenges, Webinars etc.). With a single event, you can offer information, demonstrate your expertise, and win over some prospects and even new customers. Show your prospects that you’re an authority in what you do.

However, there is a little hurdle to pass through: Getting people in those seats. Launch events are extremely popular these days so you’re competing with thousands of others for your audience’s attention. People are generally picky about which webinar to attend for this exact reason but here are some tips to get more people to register – and show up for – your webinars.

1. Choose a relevant topic

2. Get creative with your webinar title

3. Ditch the replay

4. Promote yourself

As a coach or a solopreneur, do you send out emails regularly to your subscribers? If not you're losing out on a great opportunity to nurture your list and build a trusting relationship with them. Believe it or not, sending emails is still one of the most effective marketing strategies. You have tried it but didn’t get results? Maybe you didn’t apply it the right way. Many brands still send out emails, and they achieve tremendous results. Here are some of the tips they apply.

1. Pique Interest with your Subject Line 2. Match the right offer with your audience

3. Tell an interesting story

4. Provide social proof

5. Cut the fluff

Re-examining your email marketing strategy will help boost your conversion rate. Follow up with educational emails as well as entertaining emails that show your personality a bit. Portray yourself as a real person instead of a brand and immediately you become more approachable and likeable, which will lead to more sales.

When my clients are working to create something amazing I often recommend a daily power hour and sometimes it’s meant with resistance because let’s be honest it can feel like we have no time.

I recently did some recent research and found that the average American wastes 2.09 hours per day. If I could be honest I think that number may actually be a lot higher. We often spend our time watching tv and scrolling social media mindlessly. When you’re working on big goals it’s so important for you use your time wisely.

Power hours give you permission to do just that. Power hours allow you to dig in and spend focused time on your goals and it adds up over time. Think about it if you spend 1 hour every day starting a business and growing it how much further would you be 365 days/ 365 hours later?

I know you’re busy and it can feel like a heavy life but take a moment to consider this: Our life is a reflection of our day to day habits….what habit is your life reflecting?

We can’t continue to give our energy to everything and everybody else at the cost of losing the effort we should be putting into our business.

Now a question I often get is how should I be spending my power hour! Here is an example of how I have spent mine and how you can maximize yours :

MEDITATE and VISUALIZE what you want. Let your imagination and emotions run wild and get deeply in touch with that feeling. CREATE: Only after you’re in a high energetic state. Are you going to make it a post or a video etc. ACTION: Now move forward in the direction you feel led. Are you using this time to create, to post, to go live, to record,to engage, to connect etc. REFLECT: What went well? What did not? How are you feeling? PLAN: Consider what you would like to get done tomorrow. DOCUMENT: How was the engagement? where are you seeing growth and trends? What can you do knowing this information to allow for continuous growth. Having a power hour is an amazing tool to use. When I was writing my first book I was able to finish it in 60 days because I made a temporary sacrifice of watching tv and replacing it with my writing power hour. It changed my life. It’s funny because here I am all the years later and my power hour is now a priority- even when I have to give up something else. This practice has been so transformational. So I challenge you to Put your power hour on your calendar. Make it a repeatable daily action. And fully commit to your success !

I spent the last 12 months fully committing to myself thanks to a podcast I heard from manifestation babe. It really motivated me!

After listening to her story I realized I would never for forgive myself if I never tried. Around the same time I read an article about the top 5 regrets of the dying and one that stuck out to me was : I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

That felt like confirmation for me!

So I decided to go ALL in on my dreams and vowed to myself I would commit fully to my vision for one year straight!

Was I scared yup

Was it hard - for sure !

Did I want to throw in the towel- more times than I can count

But what I can say is that it was worth it.

I always had this promise to come back to and it grounded me. This experience, I must say has been one of my best decisions ever.

As I wrap up the year I am so impressed to see all that took place over the last 12 months. It’s truly crazy to see what all can happen in the matter of 365 days when you chose to believe in your vision.

During this time

I doubled my last years business income

I worked with some of the most aligned clients ever

I launched my coaching certification program and even recently added in a new modality

I published my ELEVATE method manual

I had my first ever 4 figure launch while learning to prioritize rest

And more importantly I grew a lot

I learned that many people give up right before the breakthrough & that entrepreneurship isn’t for the weak at all! My push and drive is what took me the farthest

I realized it’s not the initial commitment that makes the difference but instead the recommitment that matters

Listen to this week's episode to learn more about my year long commitment lessons and how you can create your own commitment.

As we start a new year, goal-setting is typically on the radar for many. While initial motivation for change may be high, statistics show the majority of New Year’s resolutions are broken by mid January. I’ve found SMART goal-setting has been extremely helpful for accomplishing my goals over the last few years , but using the NLP model has taken it to an entirely new level. Since I am sure you are already familiar with traditional SMART goals let's talk about it using NLP With NLP You're setting goals that....

S- You SEE YOURSELF accomplishing. You can take it a step further and bring in all of your senses (since your subconscious doesn't know the difference between your imagination and what's real) it will be drawn to manifesting it.

M- Setting goals that are MEANINGFUL to you. You are not going to maintain motivation if the goal isn't aligned with what you deeply desire.

A- ALL AREAS- you want to set the ones that create domino effect meaning they don't only impact the one area in your life, but many other areas as well.

R-RESPONSIBLE aka ecological. When thinking of your goals you want to ensure it's safe for you and all involved. Remember your vision is so much bigger than you.

T- TOWARDS MOTIVATED. Whatever the subconscious mind holds is what it's drawn towards therefore it's imperative that when you set your goals you're focused on what you DO want, not what you don't want.

I challenge you to use the NLP framework to manifest your vision for 2022. This year is yours!

You're scrolling and you come across the coach who just made $10k in her sleep, you scroll some more and see the coach who had a 23k launch while at the beach and another one that made multiple 6 figures this year while spending 90% of her time traveling! insert gut punch insert "how did she do that" * insert twinge of jealousy* You've seen it and I have too! When I see posts like these I get excited for their amazing win, but I cringe because with that kind of "marketing" I don't believe that they are giving you the full picture! What most coaches won’t tell you is that their massive launch, pay-in-full (PIF) client, or 6 figure launch at the beach wasn’t an overnight success. That success actually happened as a result of the compound effect! If you're not familiar with this concept, let me explain..... The compound effect is the strategy of reaping huge rewards from small, seemingly insignificant actions. Small choices + consistency + time = significant results. I will give you an example of how this played out for me recently. I had one of my highest launches while in bed with covid I was able to rest more than I have in ages I was able to spend quality time with my daughter (who also had it) I even watched some recommended tv series (thanks to all of you who shared them haha) And no one noticed I was “gone” Because I still posted, emailed, podcasted, released blogs and even YouTube videos But you wanna know a secret - I wasn't doing anything! All of this stuff was all done ahead of time so when covid hit I got to cuddle, rest & heal WITHOUT worry! This is because for the last few weeks, months and years. I have been committed to daily steps with the BIG picture in mind! Because of these steps I made more in one week than I used to make in a month while in recovery! I never thought this was available to me as a single mom, woman of color, with a “small” following but for some crazy reason I kept saying “yes” to my vision day after day. Even when it made no sense! Even when I didn't know the "how"! And here's what I learned along the way.... Yesterday’s self talk is determining how you’re feeling today Yesterday’s commitment is determining your results today Great things are accomplished by a series of small things combined together But the opposite is also very true as well….. Meaning every time you play small, say no, operate from fear, stay in your comfort zone etc. these are the seemingly small decisions, but the same ones that keep you stuck, stagnant and resentful. If you’re tired of.... -wondering how it can be "easy" for everyone else -wondering if this is all life has to offer -not being brave enough to move towards your dream I am here to tell you that you don’t have to stay here any longer! You can create the future life NOW that you desire and deserve and I can show you how inside of The ELEVATE Method! The SEVEN amazing modalities we teach inside of this program will not only change you profoundly & on a deep level, but they will change the way you show up as the coach you’re called to be! This program is truly unparalleled and so transformational- you literally CANNOT come out this program the same! It's your chance to embody the next level version of you  So choose you and choose NOW! Join us here: www.nicolyawilliams.com/elevate

One of my favorite (radio stations) aka Questions is WIIFM (What’s in it for me?).

It’s only fair to wonder if you’re going to be making a time commitment and financial investment, what it’s worth and what’s in it for you.

I am not judging ….I honestly get this question a lot.

Today I wanted to take some time today to discuss what happens when you make the decision to be certified through The ELEVATE Method Certification Program !

Let’s break down the benefits of working with me:

-Saves Time-When I started my business I was trying to piecemeal my way to success. I would google, and youtube everything. In all transparency I took over 16 programs and compiled my knowledge from each to try to build out my business. It was so overwhelming because I got a lot of contradictory information. When I created the ELEVATE Method I did it with my experiences in mind. Essentially I am cutting your trial and error time down and allowing you to build your business without the overwhelm. You basically get to allow my footprints to become your blueprints. With the ELEVATE Method you learn a fool proof formula to build out the coaching business you desire and deserve.

-Saves money- I spent over 65k in my business before I started making any money. This only includes business investments not my college degrees in counseling, trauma informed care and leadership. While I learned a lot from my investments I don’t want that for you. I do not want you to have to exhaust your energy and burn through your bank account. This is why I have taken my learnings and experiences and worked to embed them into The ELEVATE Method Certification program so that you’re learning life changing information, but without the crazy high price tag. And without the trial and error run.

-Simplifies things- With The ELEVATE Method Certification Program you will learn how to master your mindset without the overwhelm. I take what can be seen as a complicated process and make it seamless. I teach you the power of your subconscious mind and how to truly learn to master and leverage it. In addition you learn and become certified in a whole host of tools so when things come up you know how to handle it.

-Reduce Risk- The ELEVATE Method helps you to reduce the risk that you will put yourself “out there” and not know what you’re doing. With this certification you will know what you’re doing as a coach and feel confident in that! You will walk away with a tool box of modalities that you have access to at all times. When a client presents with a struggle you will be able to lock arms with them and facilitate the shift they desire.

-Saves Energy- You don’t have to burn yourself out trying to learn a million things at once. The certification is broken up so that each thing can be learned together without the overwhelm. It overlaps and pairs perfectly.

Makes Money- With this certification you will learn the tools you need to build a profitable coaching business. I walk you through how you can create your signature offer, an online course or a membership. I help you with creating a product suite, and an aligned pricing model. With that said I also teach you how to start making money while going through the certification as well.

-Teaches People- with this certification you are getting coaching for yourself while you’re simultaneously learning how to weave it into the work you’re doing as a coach.

-Increases safety- in today's episode I explain this more in depth...

Neuro linguistic programming is one of my all time favorite modalities that I have become certified in. I use it for myself, with my children and I also use it with my clients and have seen transformations like nothing I have ever experienced before.

You ask- what’s NLP?

Simply put it’s the users manual for your mind

But let’s break it down a little further

Neuro — what we use to experience the world through our senses, including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory responses.

Linguistic — language and other forms of communication we use to store our experiences and give it meaning inside our mind — including pictures, sounds, feelings, smells, tastes, and internal dialogue (and self-talk).

Programming — how we process and take information in, including the patterns. As well as the strategies we run inside of our mind to achieve our goals. If you would like to know more about NLP and how you can leave it into your personal life as well as work that you do check out the elevate method certification program here: http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/elevate-method

Think you can’t hope to make sales simply because you have no list to promote to? This kind of self-sabotaging thought is what holds many promising coaches and entrepreneurs back from creating great things. They believe that without a ready-made audience, there’s no hope for sales, and therefore, what’s the point?

But the truth is, sales can come from many, many other places besides your mailing list. While a list of active subscribers does allow you to promote to a ready audience who already knows, likes and trusts you, it’s not the only method that works.

Today we will talk about the options you have to sell without a massive list

A comfort zone is a self-imposed boundary where you will refuse to push beyond. Even the idea of having to push past your comfort zone will fill a person with nervousness and anxiety.

If you have felt that you’re not at all alone.

Getting out of your comfort zone can be scary, overwhelming, and even frustrating. While it can be all of these things stepping out is surely worth it.

I am a firm believer that remaining in your comfort zone will stunt your growth. This is why I am so passionate about helping women like you and the rest of my clients move beyond where it’s safe, familiar, and comfortable, and into their growth zone. Many people struggle with understanding how to break free of their comfort zone….but don’t worry here is a strategy you can begin to use today! Become Aware of What’s Outside of Your Comfort Zone Get Information

Become Clear About What You Are Aiming to Overcome

Create a plan.

Identify challenges

See failure as a teacher

Identify your propellers!

Get Comfortable with Discomfort

Forgive yourself and give yourself grace

While this may seem like a lot of steps understand that getting beyond your comfort zone is going to require work. It will require you to be consistent it will require you to become committed but the outcome is so worth it. So don’t overwhelm yourself and try to jump out of your comfort zone quickly. I don’t overwhelm yourself and say that seems like too much and I’m just going to give up take it one step at a time knowing that each day you commit to taking one step in the right direction you’re putting yourself in a position to step into the boundless version of who you’re really called to be. And I will leave you with this: If you leave your growth to Randomness you will always live in the land of mediocrity.

My journey to building out a brand I love hasn’t been super easy - and this is why I am so passionate about sharing it with other people to help them to avoid the overwhelm . Your brand identity is the image your company portrays to the world at large, to your customers or clients. When people look at your online presence, they should know what you do and that you bring value to the market. Your brand identity should be appealing to your target market and should be consistent in every printed piece you produce and across every online platform.

Consistency is important because it brings name recognition. If people see your logo and/or your brand colors online, they will recognize your snail mail brochure when it arrives, and vice versa. When people recognize your identity, your name is always brought to mind, which is helpful when they receive your email or see your social media posts.

Let’s examine the five most important places to perfect your brand identity:

1. Your Website
2. Your Social Media Platforms
3. All Company Communications
4. Your Email Marketing Campaigns
5. Photography

This psychological phenomenon, known as imposter syndrome, reflects a belief that you’re an inadequate and incompetent failure despite evidence that indicates you’re skilled and quite successful.

you may be surprised to know there are different types of “imposters.” In 1982, Dr. Valerie Young identified five unique types:

The Expert (Expects to know everything.) The Soloist (Feels they must work alone.) The Natural Genius (Thinks everything should be easy.) The Superman/Superwoman (Feels they should excel at everything.) The Perfectionist (Sets almost impossibly high standards.)

It’s important to note that impostor syndrome goes beyond a mere lack of confidence.

Everyone experiences bouts of self-doubt from time to time — especially when attempting something new.

But because “impostors” have insanely high self-expectations, the self-doubt is chronic.

We have heard the expression, “You can have it all.” This may seem like a bit of a hyperbole, but according to the Law of Attraction or the Law of Abundance, it is not too far from the truth. We may be quick to identify external challenges as the reason we have not reached our targets, but the real obstacle may be within. Discovering these obstacles and lifting them is a significant first step towards success as a solopreneur.

What are the Laws of Attraction and Abundance?

The Law of Attraction and the Law of Abundance are not identical, but they are related. The Law of Attraction states that people tend to attract results that are in keeping with their expectations. It includes the notion that we tend to attract positive people, for instance, if we have a positive attitude, and the inverse is also true, according to this theory.

The Law of Abundance takes the principles of the Law of Attraction and applies them to concepts of wealth. The notion of the Law of Abundance is that there is enough money for everyone who wants to seek it. Not everyone is highly motivated to seek abundance, but people can become motivated by examining their way of thinking and removing inner limitations.

In today's episode I walk you through the steps you need to take to incorporate the law of attraction into your business

If you're ready to get a handle on your money mindset I have just the thing for you Introducing the....

When you’re working on a new goal it can sometimes feel overwhelming regarding how to get started or even how to continue.

Can you relate to this?

In order to ensure you’re taking intentionally aligned steps you will need to have clarity around the goal you want to achieve

Clarity is defined as the quality or state of being clear. It’s literally one of the most important parts of the goal setting journey. If you want to be successful with your goals you need to create clarity

Today I want to share three strategies I use to ensure clarity as it relates to my goals.

Reflection- how many times are we doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. If you want something different you have to do something different and the only way to know what to do is to take time to reflect on what’s working and what’s not. When setting goals I recommend reflecting regularly. This allows you to check in regarding what’s working and what’s not and make shifts accordingly. Visualization- is a POWERFUL and life changing tool that you definitely need to involve in your goal setting process. Simply put If you can see your goal played out in your mind you can see it lived out in your reality. Visualization is a tool that many Olympic athletes use to prepare for their competitions and crazy enough when they visualize their body has a biochemical response as if they were actually competing and in turn they usually perform better. What could visualization do for you? De clutter your life- research says that a cluttered environment leads to a cluttered mind. And I can promise that if you’re setting a goal with a foggy mind the outcome will reflect that. So when you want clarity consider what needs to be decluttered around you to free up your mind. Clean your car so you can drive safely, clear up your night stand so you can rest peacefully and organize your work space so you can increase your productivity.

Of all of the three steps notice the key to clarity is slowing down. Yes! Sometimes we have to slow down to speed up and when we slow down we can move forward more intentionally. When you gain clarity you take control of your success! Are you ready? Get access to the success place visualization here: https://nicolyawilliams.com/success-place-visualization/

Being a coach comes with its challenges. For me the biggest one was myself.

Sure I wanted my business to be successful

Yup, I had a ton of amazing ideas

Of course I wanted to make an impact

But all of that required me getting uncomfortable and that was so scary.

I learned a lot along this journey, but the main takeaway was that I had to give up my fear to get to the future I truly wanted

Here is what you need to give up to get out of your own way to become a successful and highly sought after coach:

✨Give up comparing yourself. You are exactly where you need to be and exactly who you need to be…. but we all know good ol imposter syndrome will kick in from time to time. It’s so tempting to look around and begin to compare your gifts and journey with other people- especially those you admire. You watch other people and start to second guess your calling. STOP IT! Your greatest asset is your authenticity- because NO ONE can match that. Know this, embody it and leverage it.

✨Give up fear- Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. The biggest mistake I see people making is allowing fear to guide their decisions. When you’re stepping into a new level you are going to naturally deal with resistance. This is NOT a sign that something is wrong it’s actually a tell tale sign that you’re moving beyond your comfort zone. The good news is when you move beyond that you get to move into creating the success you desire and deserve

✨Give up playing small! This is your official call to stop playing small. You know deep down you are called to so much more. Take some time today to remind yourself of why you’re amazing and why you are the best person to do exactly what you’re called to do! And then go out there share your gifts, charge what your worth and live your life to the fullest. Your future self will be so grateful you did!

Being an impactful and profitable coach requires discipline, consistency, and resilience and while these are great life skills to have, they are not always so fun when developing.

But what I can say is that in the end it will be so worth it.

All of which you need to build a profitable and impactful business . If you’re like most people you’re likely wondering how to get there.

Don’t worry boo I got you.

Here are three ways to cultivate your entrepreneurial mindset .

Spend time with other entrepreneurs

Research says we are an average of the top 5 people we spend time with!

If you’re around people who play small you will to! If you’re around people who believe in themselves and take risks you will too!

It’s imperative surround yourself with people who understand your journey and are supportive of it!

Take some time to foster relationships with entrepreneurs who have been in your shoes. Learn from their successes and failures. This will help you to foster a growth mindset, which is one of the best tools you can have to create the success you desire and deserve!

Get comfortable being uncomfortable

There is nothing comfortable about being an entrepreneur.

I am saying that to be honest!

Being an entrepreneur involves rejection, risk, failure, embarrassment, anxiety, criticism, tears, and self doubt.

None of this is fun!

But one thing I have learned along the way is that whenever you take a risk, you will either win or you’ll learn. And failure is the best teacher there is.

Prioritize learning and growth

It’s tempting to look at a successful entrepreneurs and assume they’ve got it all figured out. But the most successful entrepreneurs will be the first to acknowledge that they’ll NEVER know it all. They’re constantly pursuing new knowledge and new ideas. They are constantly surrounding themselves with people who push them and individuals who they can learn from.

Make personal development a part of your lifestyle. Hire mentors and coaches that support you with moving towards who you’re truly called to be. Every day, create a routine aligned with your success. Move your body, set aside time to read blogs, articles, and books that help you increase your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and feel even more motivated and inspired to move forward.

Strengthening your mindset doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something you must be intentional about because in our day to day life we are often distracted by things that have nothing to do with our overall growth- most of which come from our thoughts and beliefs.

And you’re responsible for your own disturbances..... By now, you’ve probably figured out that achieving success as a coach requires more than being an inspiring person, but if you’re like most people you’re wondering where to get started.

I have a FREE behind the scenes opportunity where you get to experience elevate live. This is designed to help aspiring coaches clear out their obstacles and hit their stride as successful transformation allies.

We’ll open our minds to the inner practices that will set us up for success and get a preview of my favorite “secret sauce” modalities for increasing impact and income as a coach. 🙌🏽 join us here: https://nicolyawilliams.com/experience-elevate/

I read recently that LeBron invests a million a year into improving his body so that he can be his best and earn a NBA salary of $40 million a year. That means he invested 2.5% of his salary into the thing that is responsible for his salary. And that’s just his financial investment I can only begin to imagine the time investment he makes into his vision.

When you think of your goals & what you’re working towards what are you doing to invest in them?

Soooooo many people are terrified of investing and this is why (I am saying this from a place of love 🥰) so many people remain in the same exact situation- feeling unfulfilled, feeling that their dreams are too far fetched, and feeling bitter watching everyone else around them progress ....

I get it, investing in yourself can seem scary or risky but if you want to up-level you can’t stay in your comfort zone or even rely on your current way of thinking to get there.

If you want to up-level your mind, business and life you will need to invest strategically which includes spending money on books, seminars, business training, business/networking events, travel and anything that improves your mindset & grows your network.

When you’re about to invest and you’re beginning to feel that fear ask yourself are you making a decision from your current way of thinking or are you making a decision aligned with your future self?

Make the decision today that your future self will thank you for because at the end of the day you’re your greatest asset

In the coaching space it's easy and tempting to compare your business, clients and offers with everyone.

Can you relate to this?

The trouble with that is it can cause you to get thrown off and also lose track with the value you bring to your audience.

I find that many coaches get shiny object syndrome because they do not have the clarity, or confidence to focus on their greatest strengths. Then in turn when you feel unaligned or frustrated this can cause your focus and in turn your revenue to slip. Then before you know it you're struggling with shiny object syndrome. Let's be honest with the online space being a big part of coaching now its eacy to get distracted by shiny objects. Every.single.day you are looking at new coaches, new offers, new content which can entice you to fall victim to shiny object syndrome. Today I want to talk about how to avoid shiny object syndrome as a coach Join us in the coach to clients academy here: https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/coach-to-client

A daily routine is a great way to become more efficient, save time planning, procrastinate less, get more tasks done, and achieve your goals. With a set routine, you will spend less time each day creating a unique action plan. Instead, you will wake up knowing exactly what you are going to do and how you will execute your tasks. This saves you time that you would normally use contemplating what to work on next or preparing for unexpected decisions.

Creating a standard outline for your day can help you prioritize your objectives to ensure you achieve them. If you already have a plan, you will procrastinate less since you do not need to build up willpower to do it, it becomes a habit. With a daily routine, you will have more time than usual, so you can complete more goals that you set out for yourself on any given day. Additionally, a routine reduces unnecessary stress and allows for a more calm and peaceful work-life balance.

The workday of an entrepreneur can be challenging and long, but a routine will help you produce meaningful and consistent services for the most important part of your business, the clients.

How to Create a Meaningful Routine for Yourself

The hardest part of a routine is simply beginning it. There are many strategies on how to create an effective morning routine for yourself and you can tailor these tips to fit your individual lifestyle.

First, you should take the time to write what you want to be a part of your routine. You can decide which items to prioritize, what timeframe these tasks should be completed in, and schedule-in breaks or buffer times. This planning process will allow you to be mindful of creating an effective routine.

Once you have your goals outlined, it will be much easier to visualize how you will start implementing these habits into your everyday life. A routine becomes a habit over time, so you are not expected to have a flawless new lifestyle overnight. Patience with yourself as you build your good practices is key in allowing the routine to be sustainable.

Common Habits to Include in Your Morning Routine

Everyone will have different needs and goals for a morning routine, so modify these habits to suit your personal life.

In the morning, strive to wake up as early as possible. You can begin by arising a few minutes earlier than you normally would and slowly adjust your alarm until you are always waking up at the desired hour.

Working out in the morning is an incredible way to jump-start your mind and help you feel better. Exercise is healthy for both the mind and body. By starting your day with your favorite workout, you will think clearer, get more done, and feel less stressed.

Start your day with your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or lemon water. Giving yourself small pleasures in the morning can set you up with a great mood for the rest of your workday.

Spending time asking yourself meaningful questions about your goals can help you become more aware of your deepest desires and what you want to achieve. A common question to ask yourself when you wake up is: “If today was the last day of your life, would you still want to do what you’re about to do today?” If the answer is no, you can understand how you can better allocate your time and resources to maximize your day and become happier at work.

Reading or listening to inspirational quotes or podcasts first thing in the morning can start your day off right. If you are surrounding yourself with positive affirmations, you will create a more optimistic attitude and atmosphere for the day.

Meditation is another habit many successful people implement in their morning routines. Practicing deep breathing and other meditative exercises help you calm down and clear your mind before you begin your workday.

You don’t NEED a coaching certification to become a coach. However having the knowledge, the integrity, and the tools to facilitate and support your clients on a deeper level is so important

Trying a one size fits all approach to expanding your brand is a sure fire way to burnout and blend in

None of which you truly want

If you want to become a highly sought after coach you must stand out

Sure it may feel like you’re going against industry standard

Yup it will certainly feel a little scary, but it will be beyond worth it.

Here are three ways to stand out as a coach Learn to leverage your authenticity - It’s easy to fall into the cookie cutter coach approach (that’s what I call it) where you’re doing what every other coach is doing, but that’s the best way to blend in and in turn get lost on the sea of other coaches. If you want to increase your income and impact you have to be intentional about standing out.Too many coaches are pretending to be something they're not. Changing their voice, showing up in a way that doesn't match who they really are etc. Doing this is not allowing you to create a sustainable brand. Instead identify who you truly are and give yourself permission to show up from that place. For example, I do not cus on a day to day basis. Therefore when I write blogs, or do lives etc I don't cus there either. I don't want my clients to come to me and find out I am someone totally different behind the scenes than I am when I show up online. Learn to run your business around your lifestyle - Some people are meant to work through dusk to dawn and some people aren’t . When you create a brand the best thing you can do is create one aligned with the lifestyle you live otherwise you will find that your business takes over your life and in turn you become somewhat resentful of it. Instead identify how you can find a healthy balance between the two. For example I walk a lot to clear my head, now when I get amazing ideas while walking I will go live to share what is on my heart. I do not care if I am sweating bullets or look crazy. I in turn get to not only exercise, but also connect with my audience at the same time. Be yourself and while doing that give other people permission to do the same. When I first started my business I wanted to be everything but myself- I wasn’t sure if who I was would make a big difference. But the more I tried to be and do whatever everyone else was doing the more exhausted snd defeated I became. When I learned to simply be me I was more intentional I was more aligned and most importantly I created more success. For example everyone and their mom will tell you that you have to niche down and stay there. I unapologetically avoid the term niche and have allowed myself to be multipassionate. Because of this I also call in dream clients who are also multi-passionate and I get to fully support them. This is why I love helping other coaches fully embrace and leverage their authenticity, because after all it's your greatest asset.

Your “money mindset” is simply your set of beliefs — usually subconscious — about money. It’s the way you approach earning, saving, spending, and sharing in your life. Your money mindset is a result of your experiences and relationship with money. If I am being honest most people struggle when it comes to money mindset and creating one that serves them. In today’s video I am going to talk about 4 money mindset shifts you need to make to create a money mindset that aligns with the success you desire and deserve Sales is a service – we have to do away with the concept that sales is something bad or sleazy. When you sell from the sale you’re actually serving your audience. Think about it wouldn’t you tell your best friend about an amazing restaurant you just tried snd beg her to try it too. That’s sales. When you know you have something amazing to offer it’s your obligation to share it. It serves no one for you to play small. Also sometimes we think that we should give things away because that’s a service but I have come to learn when people pay they pay attention and therefore you selling allows them to really commit to their shifts. Money is an unlimited resource- they print money every single day we have to stop living with the belief that money is scarce. In fact in the US money is printed every single day for 24 hours a day and In 24 hours, the bureau can print ten million one dollar bills. This is confirmation that money is ALWAYS available. Money is not bad the obsession with it is (you actually will repel money out of desperation). Money is energy. Therefore the energy we attached money is the energy in which we were receive it. If you have guilt or anger or bitterness around money you are going to as a result receive more experiences that caused you to feel guilty angry or bitter about your money. If you feel grateful in alignment with your money you as a result will attract more situations and experiences that reinforce that. Abundance is your birthright – In John 10:10 at the Bible says I have come that that they can have life in life more abundantly. Abundance is our birthright ! Sometimes we guilt ourselves into believing that we have NOT want money when the truth is you’re actually living out of alignment by not going after the abundance you deserve! At the end of the day you can never be poor enough to help someone but when you focus on creating your abundance your impact spreads. Considering this what shifts do you need to make around money mindset?

Your subconscious mind is more powerful than you can imagine. It makes up around 95% of your brain power and handles everything your body needs to function properly, from eating and breathing to digesting and making memories

When I learned about the power of my mind my entire life changed and this is why I am so passionate to teach others all about it as well.

The top 5 facts that you must know to begin to uncover the power of your mind are:

1. Your mind takes everything personally. Meaning what you say and think about other people is what your subconscious mind is adopting to be true about you. For example if you believe wealthy people are greedy or bad it will be difficult for you to call in wealth !
2. Doesn’t register negatives - this is so important because when you’re talking you HAVE to watch what you say. For example if you affirm “I have no debt” all your subconscious registered was debt and remember what it holds is what it’s drawn towards! This is why when I say affirmations I always say them in a positive sense!
3. Your subconscious mind will literally be drawn towards whatever it is that you hold, meaning what you think about the most is what your mind will move towards. This happens to us daily but when you learn this to be the case you can shift your thoughts and literally shift your results.
4. Your subconscious mind is always working even when you’re not. For example as I am typing this my mind is reminding me to breath (thank God). The great part about this is if you program your mind for your success give your mind the right thing to focus on it will take
5. Doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination. This is why visualization is soooo powerful. When you write the vision and make it plan your subconscious mind looks for ways to make it your reality.

These are all great things that can work in your favor but most people do not access their control.

Getting closer to the hidden part of your mind isn't dangerous. In fact, living with a greater awareness of your subconscious mind is the healthiest thing you can do.

If you want to not only understand your mind but learn how to leverage it join us for my free experience ELEVATE event

Here I will teach some of my most favorite and life changing tools- including anchoring, tapping and hypnosis etc.

You essentially will get a behind the scenes view and sample of my life changing coaching certification program

These tools will help you to align your mind with your success and stand out as a highly sought after coach!

Determining how to price your services as a coach can sometimes be overwhelming! In today’s video, I’m going to walk you through the most important things to consider in order to determine how to effectively price your offers!

1. Get rid of 9-5 thinking.

2. Determine the promise you provide.

3. Consider how much of your time you would need to invest for this.

4. Factor in your expertise

I always tell my clients to lean into a happy middle ground price that falls right in between resentful and ridiculous. What I mean by that is you don’t want to price your offers so low that you become resentful of it and you don’t want to price your offers so high that you’re no longer aligned with the price because it feels ridiculous and therefore you’re unable to sell it! The truth is pricing does not have to be something that overwhelms you or confuses you. Follow this fool proof formula to create a price that feels aligned with your success.

Before you can begin to embody anything the first step is to give yourself permission to change. Sometimes we can tell ourselves that it feels fake or we feel like a fraud but the reality is we are meant to change. Even in nature still water becomes toxic. And I’m a firm believer that if God wanted you to stand still he would’ve given you roots not feet. So first and foremost give yourself permission to change into who it is that you desire to be  Next, it is so important for you to understand that you have POWER. if I can be honest most of us do not realize how powerful we really are let alone step into it. A lot of times we put thought and effort into creating systems and strategies to support our growth, but if I could be honest 90% of growth is simply just making a decision to not stay where you currently are. So once you’re able to recognize that your power is in your decision and make the decision to adjust you are already on the right track to being able to move in the direction of the embodiment of the success you desire and deserve   Next layout who it is that you will fully embody. I always recommend journaling and visualization together to bring it to life!  Who is this woman you so desire to be?  What type of coach do you desire to be?  How does she spend her days?  When does she get up and what is the first thing she does?  What type of people are in her circle  What are her thoughts on money?    Does she feel secure in her finances?  What are her thoughts when spending or receiving money?  How does she dress, talk, and walk?  Where does she live?  Answering these questions may take a little bit of time and that’s totally OK in fact I recommend it. I also recommend that you bring in your imagination what do you see what do you hear what do you feel.  When you bring in the visualization you connect with your subconscious mind making it more real.  And what I need you to remember during this time is SHE IS YOU and you are her!  What you’ll notice is while you’re spending time creating this vision and really working to bring this woman to life you will find that you’ll get different guidance into the downloads or different forms of direction about steps you can take or decisions you can make. Begin to lean in and trust yourself knowing that when you make aligned decisions you begin to create the success in the life that you desire and deserve  If you’re looking for more tools and strategies and supports on your journey to living your best life thing for you are you free live your best life guide you Will learn the strategy to bridge the gap from where you are to where you wanna be join us here: https://nicolyawilliams.com/live-your-best-life/

I talk about passive income a lot because it's a big part of my business model.

Passive income is the income that requires no effort to earn and maintain.

But for many people it's hard to see why this could work for them.

Let's discuss why you need passive income

1. Supplement or improve your income. In 2020 we quickly saw how many people lost their jobs and in turn it created a domino effect. If you're depending on one source of income you will likely have yourself in a situation where you always have to depend on that. With creating a passive source of income, it allows you to bring in new income and allows that added layer of security.

2. It becomes easier to achieve your goals. When you're trying to reach certain financial goals, having passive income allows you to get there quickly. It also provides the flexibility in which you approach your goals too. The beginning of 2021 I set a goal to pay off $17,000 in debt and had the desire to do it by the end of the year. I was able to pay it off in 11 weeks because of my business income-in which a large portion was passive. In turn I was also able to take the rest of the money and invest it back into my business.

3. You create more freedom. When you have passive income rolling in and you're not tied to some desk or requirements you will notice you have more freedom to pursue your passions. You can have location freedom. When you are no longer required to be in a certain location you're able to make money, but from wherever you are. This freedom is truly priceless.

4. Reduced stress. This is probably one of the best reasons to make passive income. Many of us operate out of a desperate place or mindset trying to earn money to make a living, pay off debt, grow a business etc. But one thing I have learned is that desperate energy actually repels money. When you have money flowing in that you can count on it allows you to feel more peace and calm around your finances.

5. It's exciting. Who wouldn't love to make money in their sleep? What about while on vacation? This is the luxury that passive income affords you. You can break away from the limiting belief that you have to show up for every dollar you earn and allow yourself to make money wherever and whenever and what's more exciting than that?

If you're looking for more tools, strategies and support on the journey to creating passive income from your passion join me in my upcoming workshop HERE: www.nicolyawilliams.com/passive-profits

Toxic positivity is the belief that no matter how dire or difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset.

Some common phrases you may hear with toxic positivity include: “Don't worry about it.” “It could be worse.” “Don't be so negative.” “Always look on the bright side!” “Everything happens for a reason.”

It can come from a well meaning family member that thinks they're trying to support you or from the friends who send you the "it will be fine" meme online.

This reason this can be coined as toxic positivity is because many people who feel heavy emotions often feel shamed for feeling the way they do when people make comments like this. When you judge yourself for feeling pain, sadness, jealousy (which are part of the human experience) leads to what are referred to as secondary emotions, such as shame and guilt. These emotions distract us from the problem, and because of that we then don’t have space for self-compassion, which is so vital to our mental health.

When people say this they mean well, but it can often downplay what emotions youre feeling or what situation you're facing.

If I can be honest I think toxic positivity came from society. Think about it when you run into someone and ask them how they're doing they often comment "good" even if they don;t mean it. It just feels like the polite and right thing to do. The truth is We shouldn’t have to pretend that everything’s OK when it isn’t.

Many people ask how do you handle toxic positivity. If someone is dishing it out to you: 1. Recognize that they in their best effort may be trying to help. Toxic positivity is a newer coined term and honestly most people don't know about it, let alone understand it. So provide them grace and try not to take it personal. 2. Know it's okay to not be okay Your feelings or circumstances do not define you. take some time to process the emotions from a place of grace, love and understanding for yourself. Acknowledge how you feel, and feel all your emotions, good or bad. When you avoid how you feel will only prolong the discomfort. A brain imaging study at UCLA showed that putting feelings into words reduces the intensity of emotions such as sadness, anger, and pain. So take some time to write them out and process them fully. 3. Take care of yourself. Tuning into self care is so important when you're not okay. This does not mean just baths and painting your nails, but I mean doing the inner work. Do you need to meditate? Work with a counselor?

If you're tempted to give it to someone else 1. Remember this article. We are all guilty of toxic positivity at one point or another even if we mean well. So if you notice it consider how you can shift it. 2. Listen and validate how others feel — even when it’s different than how you feel and then ask them how you can support and hold space for them. This will let them know you care and desire to truly be there for them.

Toxic positivity is often subtle and also non intentional. The truth is we have all engaged in this type of thinking at one point or another. By learning to recognize it, you will be better able to rid yourself of this type of thinking and responding. So I challenge you to strive to give yourself and other people permission to truly feel. It's an amazing blessing for both!

As a coach it can be extremely overwhelming to think of the ways you can come up with new, creative and engaging content for your audience. The truth is you do not have to drive yourself mad trying to figure it out. Today I will share the steps you can take to repurpose your content ! Know what your audience is looking for. It’s important that when you’re creating content and definitely when you’re repurposing it that you’re creating content that actually resonates with your audience. To do this effectively see what content has made an impact with your audience to begin with. Also consider doing key word research. When doing this be sure to pay attention to missing information, and lack of important details. Then determine how you can weave this into the content you will create so it really stands out and makes an impact for your audience .   Be intentional about what you’re creating. Repurposing content basically means taking one form of content and reusing it somewhere else. That sounds simple enough in theory, but it can get tricky in execution. To effectively make it work, it helps to produce content with repurposing in mind. This helps you so that you can easily turn it into different formats. Also considering in advance that you’re going to repurpose will help you really put your effort and energy into the content you create making it good content to deliver to begin with.   Change the medium. Some people love podcasts, some love clubhouse, some love posts, some love reels. The point is when you change the medium you get to meet your audience where they are at. For example if you make a super dope blog post but some people are more in tune with your YouTube channel when you change the medium you’re ensuring you’re covering all of your audience. So determine how you can take your original post and change the presentation/ medium. And if you’re worried people will see it twice that’s okay. It doesn’t hurt for them to have that extra access to you or that extra reminder. You can also get super creative and take a live you used and repost it YouTube to strip the audio and put it on your podcast. Getting creative can save you time and kill two birds with one stone. I personally will use my blog posts as the description in my YouTube bio and that is always something I am grateful for.    Here are some examples of things you can repurpose  YouTube video to a podcast Social media posts into a blog or email Blog posts into an ebook Clubhouse talk into a podcast Live stream minimized into a reel Live stream into a YouTube video Blog posts into a beefed up course Graphic from a social media post to a part of your social media stories  Research says it can take up to 7x for people to really remember or embody a new lesson or new information . Do you audience a favor by continuing to bring your information and message back time and time again using different formats or mediums. Also while you’re doing your audience this favor you’re doing yourself a favor as well!   If you’re looking for more tools, strategies and support on the journey to being able to repurpose your content and show up in your business and life fully sign up for my repurpose and relax workshop here: https://www.nicolyawilliams.com/repurpose-and-relax

In the personal development world a phrase gentle observer is referenced quite a bit.

Simply put a gentle observer is someone who looks at what has happened from a grace perspective . Meaning instead of beating yourself up about what you coulda should woulda done you allow yourself to reflect and learn from the experience.

A perfect example of this is Thomas Edison. He made the lightbulb but his invention journey was far from easy. Every time he tried he had a setback. Instead of giving up and calling it a failure he committed to continuing to keep pushing. He finally invented the light bulb (thank God). And his famous words were “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work”.

He literally reframed failure and used it to be more informed each subsequent time he tried.

I am a firm believer that if we give ourselves permission to learn from our perceived failures we can move forward more intentionally and successfully.

Here is how you can become a gentle observer: Remember the "why" reflect regularly take the information and move forward more informed Get accountability Prioritize forgiveness

Your setbacks truly can become stepping stones for your success if you give yourself well deserved grace.

For my dissertation research I interviewed 23 different women and found that not one woman had the same view of success at the core. Sure they were attaching some relationship or financial metrics to their view of success originally but when I dug deep I came to see that success was more than just a relationship, money or achievement.

This inspired me to dig deeper and better understand why that is. As you know we as women have a strong desire to feel a certain way. So we attach feelings to specific objects, situations or people and then feel led to believe that the thing is what we want when in reality it’s the feeling we truly desire.

In our day to day life society conditions us to believe that success must look a certain way- 2.5 kids, white picket fence, doting spouse, and a career we keep for 35 years etc.

While many of us buy into that, because we normalize it, we don’t really relate, resonate or agree with it.

We end up staying in unfulfilling careers and chasing dreams we don’t really care about all to please and impress people who could care less about us.

It’s time to change the way we think about success. Because the reality is success is relative.

Relative to your desires

Relative to your experience

You get to create success on your own terms and more importantly you get to live your life according to it. And when you do it will be soooo freeing

So many people ask how can you do this....let’s talk about it

Consider someone who has defied success but still reached it. Identifying a tangible example helps you to see that this is very real and available for you! Determine what success is on your terms (what does it look like, how would you measure it). This is your chance to remove all of the societal programming and things you have adopted as normal and identify what YOU believe success is. Determine WHY you want it. Having a strong why will give you the momentum to keep going after it and it will hold you accountable to following through. Know that your success is Inevitable and step into your power and create it. It’s great to know what you want as it relates to success, but after identifying it you need to take action to achieve it. If you have been struggling this season with comparing your journey, your goals and your success to other people this is your call to redefine success and create it in a way that aligns with the live you desire and deserve to live .....are you ready ?

If you’re looking for more tools and supports on the journey to living your life in alignment with who you are and where you want to be get access to my FREE live your best life guide where I help you identify what’s working and how to do more of it and what’s not working and how to do less of it and in turn align your life with your greatest desires!

There is often a negative connotation with coaching, but it has literally been the very thing that has changed my life. I want to share the top three benefits of hiring a coach to support you on the journey we call life.

1. Accountability- have you ever set a goal and then fallen off the next day? Yup we all have. Even though we may include friends and family there is nothing like having additional support from someone who can push you past your comfort zone. 2. Direction- Everyone tries to jump on the DIY bandwagon it can be tempting to think that you reach all your goals alone. Do not get yourself caught up in the cycle.

2. They keep you relevant by reminding you what your goals are, why they matter and how to accomplish them. If you are looking for fool proof strategy and support sign up for a FREE strategy call https://calendly.com/nicolyawilliams

A trigger is an unhealed emotional wound. The reality is triggers happen to us all. It’s tempting to want to run from them and hide because addressing them hurts and it’s hard work.

But if you avoid working through your triggers they will haunt you. It will impact you at work, at home and personally.

I am a firm believer that triggers serve as a teacher for the areas in our life that we need healing .Triggers are not bad, they actually give us an opportunity to observe and reflect which enables us to heal.

Forgiveness is such a abstract concept. Experts define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. Many of us desire to have forgiveness but don’t even know where to begin. Or maybe we struggle with understanding why forgiveness is important for us. The reality is forgiveness is for our own growth and happiness. When we hold on to hurt, pain, resentment, and anger it harms us for more than we are willing to admit.

In today’s episode I share why we need to forgive not on the others but our self as well. And I get a four simple strategy breakdown of how you can move forward with forgiveness. Check it out

Motivation is one of the best things you have working for you in order to keep your momentum with goals. The problem is that most people struggle with consistent motivation.

Contrary to popular belief, motivation actually fades because of our habits.

Below are some of the main reasons you may notice your motivation fade

Inconsistency

If you're constantly changing your mind with something your motivation will match that. You can't randomly work on your goals and expect results. Goals require for you to show up when it's easy, when it's tough and all the time in between. The best thing you can do when working on a goal is to do this consistently. Considering how you can commit to your goals regularly will be the best way to get your motivation and momentum going.

Your Mindset

If you are struggling with believing in yourself then you must know that negative thinking will negatively impact your motivation. Our life is a reflection of our thoughts so the best way to stay motivated is to think positively.

When you focus on the good things in life, it develops a lot of positive energy. This can easily be used to keep up your motivation.

Trying to Do Too Much at Once

We all know how busy the world is and how many things we have to give our attention too. Trying to multitask sometimes feels like a great solution, but research says that multitasking actually teaches us to underperform. That is the quickest way to kill your motivation.

It’s much more effective to start off working on one thing at a time and set small goals that you can accomplish. These small steps and commitments add up and give you the big results which actually in turn increase motivation.

Not having a strong "why"

Too many of us set goals without a real reason why we desire to accomplish them. Then because the goal is arbitrary we are not showing up the way we should. When you set a goal that you feel aligned with and have a strong motivating factor why behind it you will notice your motivation and momentum increasing. So insted of setting goals for someone else or because you feel like you have to set goals that relate to your deepest desires and your big vision for your life.

Comparing Yourself to Others

Social media can be great but it can also be a trap. We often get to see everyone's highlight reels and feel less than. It’s common to compare our lives with others, but this is a horrible habit if you want to feel motivated. The best thing you can do is commit to being better than you were yesterday and this will in turn give you a lot of motivation. Think about it...if you get 1% better every day for a year when you look back you will have gotten 365% better than you were before and if that doesn't motivate you...I don't know what will.

It’s important to avoid comparing your progress with other people. Each of us have our own walks. So, focus only on your own progress and stop comparing yourself to others if you want your motivation to last.

Failing to Rest and Recharge

The quickest route to burnout is trying to do and be everything. It will feel good in the beginning but slowly and surely you will run out of energy and in turn be less and less motivated to show up fully for your goals. Choose to instead prioritize self care and rest and you will notice in turn that you feel much more excited about maintaining your motivation.

Motivation is one the best things to have in your repertoire when you need the momentum to show up for your goals. This is why I shared these factors because I do not want anything in the way of you showing up for your success. Choose today to commit to changing one of these and commit to doing this consistently. The thing to remember is that lasting motivation takes work; it doesn’t just automatically appear. Starting off small can create huge results.

No one gets married with the plan to get a divorce. Unfortunately, based on statistics, at least 50% of us will experience a divorce.

When I asked for a divorce I didn’t think it through.

I did not think about the financial impact it would have on me.

I didn’t think about the emotional toll it would have on my overall well being

I didn’t think about how it would hurt my children.

I didn’t think about the generational curse I continued with my family.

I didn’t even think of all of the years and time I had fought for us to be together.

I did not think about the love, time and energy I had invested

I did not think about all the hopes and dreams I had for us

I just wanted the pain to end and getting out seemed to be the only answer.

Looking back I wish I knew what to expect and what I would feel. I wish I knew that it was okay not to be okay I wish I knew it was okay to get support I wish I knew it was helpful to talk to people who have blazed the trail before me

To be honest I was gravely under-prepared for what life had in store me after it was over. In today’s episode I share the top 5 lessons I learned and what I wish I knew ahead of time.

As an author as well as a life coach a question that I get frequently is how I am able to read so many books.

I hear this question from people who desire to read more regularly, but just can’t find the time.

The truth is for a while I stopped reading because honestly my doctoral program reading requirements burned me out. When I graduated I got to a point where I swore I may never read again.

Thank goodness I let that promise go.

Deep down I recognized that there is a ton of value in reading and so I committed to reading regularly.

The difference now is I get to pick the books I read and I feel more inspired to read knowing the benefits of it.

Studies have shown that reading can actually prevent Alzheimer’s or dementia it can reduce stress, expand your vocabulary, and helps to inform your writing.

The best thing about reading is that we live in such a fast-paced world that our attention is always being focused on 1 million different things. Reading allows us to improve our focus by taking time to hone in on one thing at a time and shutting off the rest of the world. It’s like a brief and convenient getaway!

When I was growing my business I knew that the only way to understand how to be an awesome author and effective entrepreneur was through educating myself.

While I hired a coach I quickly knew that reading would be a key component to accomplishing this goal.

I also learned that a daily habit of wealthy and smart people was reading. Research says the average millionaire reads 50 books a year, while the average American reads 12.

When reading this I set a goal to finish 52 books by the end of the year (1 for each week).

Last year I surpassed that goal and finished with a total of 57 books that I read.

In today’s episode I share exactly how I did it and how you can too. If you committed to making reading a regular practice how would your life shift?

If you desire to get your reading habit started right check out my books bit.ly/nwilliamsbooks. Make sure you stay connected with me at www.nicolyawilliams.com or on all social sites @nicolyawilliams

Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished by a certain deadline. It could be further stated as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite knowing it might have negative consequences. If I am being honest many of us procrastinate and all for various reasons, but it is truly a pain in the butt. It’s tempting to put off undesirable tasks until the very last minute, but then we’re forced to pull a stress-induced all-nighter. Seven cups of coffee later, we’re exhausted, frustrated, Most of the time when we procrastinate when want to never do it again, but sadly in becomes a habit. In today's episode I share a practical strategy that you can incorporate into your life to stop procrastinating for good.

Busyness may feel harmless when we look at it at first glance. After all you’re just filling your schedule with things that allow you to focus on what’s important and you’re creating a chance for you to become more productive.

The sad reality is that busyness can actually prevent you from being present within your own life and therefore wreck havoc on your overall wellbeing.

Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a response we do out of fear and what we are scared may happen if we slow down.

A lot of times after we have experienced something traumatic the idea of having to deal with the difficult emotions associated with the experience feels overwhelming and definitely not fun.

So we try to cover our time with things that will keep us distracted so we don’t have to face it.

The truth is eventually we have to face it we’re just delaying the inevitable.

Instead of running from it or trying to cover up your thoughts and emotions with people, places or just the busyness be still with your thoughts . In today’s episode I walk you through the process of slowing down and removing busyness from your calendar.

As a new coach there are going to be a lot of changes in your life. Not just in business but personally as well. Honestly when I began my coaching business I saw all these coaches making 100k a month easily and I assumed that I would get my certification and create a huge stream of revenue, but in reality it felt like I launched and it was followed up with crickets. I quickly became discouraged and disheartened but I kept feeling a tug to keep going. Now as I have found my flow I am so fascinated with being able to support new coaches understand their journey and embrace it so they can create the success they desire and deserve. So today I wanted to share three tips for a new coaches so that you can understand the journey, embrace the journey and launch that business!

Get comfortable being uncomfortable- if you focus on only being comfortable there’s no opportunity for growth there. Many times we buy into the illusion of the comfort zone but that’s not an opportunity for us to grow in the direction of our dreams. When I challenge my clients to do is to focus on getting comfortable being uncomfortable because when you step out of that comfort zone you open up the endless opportunities available to you. Work on your beliefs about what is possible . Every time you up level you’ll run into a new limiting belief. This is our body‘s way of trying to keep us safe in a place that’s relatable and familiar. What I challenge you to do is acknowledge your beliefs that are limiting determine how you can adjust them to create beliefs that are going to serve you and your overall success. Get support!. Many times our pride will try to sell us the story that we can figure it out all alone. Entrepreneurship can be a very lonely ride especially when you don’t have people in your corner. When I hired my very favorite first coach it helped me to feel very safe heard held and supported. Because of that level of support I was able to hold myself accountable go out against fear and create success that never would’ve been able to be achieved alone. I highly recommend that you’re getting the support that you need to create the success that you deserve and desire.

Why the coaching business is not always glamorous easy or fun what I can say is it extremely worth it. If you’re looking for more support more tools and more strategies on your journey to being able to increase your income and your impact as a coach I have just a thing for you. In my get your next paying client now bundle you will learn how to increase your magnetism and your success without the overwhelm with much fun.

Humans have an attention span shorter than that of a fish. It doesn't help that we live in a microwave mentality of society and have digital access to everything at our fingertips. All of us are guilty of trying to multitask. I know for me, I was convinced I had adult-onset ADHD because it felt like no matter how hard I tried I could not focus. The reality is I was trying to balance too many things at once and I was not prioritizing where y focus should be. I convinced myself that I could handle many things at once and do so well. What I now know about being distracted is that you're teaching your brain to underperform. Much of the research on distractions and multi-tasking highlights that both lower your IQ similar to being high or drunk. And sometimes it can lower your IQ so low that it's almost as if you're handing tasks as a young child. Think about it would you want your 8-year-old sending emails for you, attending trainings for you, writing your book for you. Probably not. This is why we have to learn to shift our focus to what matters and continue to strengthen that muscle.

I want to share three ways to improve your focus and reduce distractions which in turn will help to increase your productivity.

1. Take breaks- Taking breaks is okay. It is very beneficial as it allows us to regroup and refocus when we are done. I often will utilize the Pomodoro technique when I am working on something because of the built-in breaks I find that I am much more productive.
2. Slow your brain down. Distractions always come, cuz let's be honest we live in a busy world. There is a strategy that I use to slow down and refocus and it is called the ABC method which is equivalent to pushing the breaks while driving a car. The first step is to Become Aware of your distractions. Is this something you can ignore, is it something you need to address? The next step is to Breathe deeply. This gives you a chance to make a calm and rational next step. Finally, you will want to consider your next option and then do that.
3. Do not try to multitask. We are physically incapable of doing it, so in turn we are are not good at it. It also prevents us from doing our best work because in this case, we aren't giving anyone thing the attention it needs or deserves.

These are strategies I have incorporated into my life to improve my focus and in turn my productivity. We all need to have the ability to focus when necessary. The good news is that focus is a muscle you can build on. If your looking for more productivity hacks sign up for a FREE strategy call with me here: www.calendly.com/nicolyawilliams

For 7 days I lived with no lights in my house

-Not because I didn’t pay the bill -Not because I was trying some random experiment

But because I tried to figure out a problem on my own 🤦🏾‍♀️

About 3 weeks ago the light switch in my room started to get finicky. I would turn it on and the lights would be off and I would turn it off and the lights would turn on.

Eventually I was getting annoyed with it, but with everything going on I had anxiety about calling an electrician so I decided to google the best fix.

If you know anything about google you know it can be your best friend AND your worst enemy.

There is a ton of valuable info on google and a ton of unexesaey or flat out wrong info there too. The problem is because I am not a electrician I had no way to determine which was which.

So I tried to fix my light and ended up blowing an entire fuse and in turn had no lights

So I then had to call an electrician- which looking back I should have done that from the beginning

After this entire experience I realized how grateful I am to have lights and how much I often overlook the small things. But I also realize how valuable having help truly is.

In life we try to attempt fixing or figuring out things on our own. But what we do is we cause a bigger mess.

But what I want you to know is: -it’s okay to not know the answer it’s okay to ask for help.

This entire experience helped to highlight how valuable it is to have someone who has the “know how”.

It prevents the overwhelm and saves you a lot of time and effort in the end.

Looking at my own experiences the times in my life were I have been most successful it’s when I have had my coach on my side.

When I have clients come to be because they have been stuck for years and then finally they have their first breakthrough when working with me.

Help makes a tremendous difference

So let me ask you what problem are you trying to solve on your own? What goal are you attempting to reach by yourself ?

The biggest mistake you can make is to allow yourself to believe that you have to do this alone..... you don’t. If you’re looking for support sign up for a FREE discovery call with me here: www.calendly.com/NicolyaWilliams

You guys know that I was working a full-time job working a part-time job going to grad school full-time and adjusting to being a single parent. Needless to say I was extremely busy. I like to say that overwhelmed was my middle name. During this season in my life I had an opportunity to learn how to get in better control of my schedule. That was the only option if I was going to be able to balance all of my responsibilities plus my goals. Today I want to share 2 simple productivity hacks that will help shift your life.

Productivity hack #1: Clean up your space bc it’s a physical manifestation of your mind. This helps you to have a more clear thinking, more focus and in turn it helps you to become more productive.

I know that sometimes this can seem like such a small step that it wouldn’t have such a big difference but I promise you it does. I even have my clothes color coordinated and my keys in the same location. But it’s organized my space so much so that I don’t waste unnecessary time looking for things.

The truth is when we’re not productive or when our workspace is in chaos there’s a cost to our overall well-being. Your emotional health suffers because you’re stressed and anxious. As well as your productivity suffers because you’re able to do less in the shorter amount of time. The best things that you can do for yourself is to commit to straightening up your area so that in turn it has a positive impact on your emotional health and your productivity.

Time blocking is the second method that has helped me tremendously. With time blocking you break your day into segments of time that are dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks. Time blocking also allows you to build your day around your most important tasks.

With time blocking you’re able to see the big picture and it would be more productive because you’re not trying to multitask.

As a teen, I lived in an abusive household during my teen years. It was exhausting but one of the hardest parts about the abuse is how it’s manifested into my adulthood. Throughout my entire adulthood, I have struggled with limiting beliefs as well as difficult mindset blocks that have kept me in a very low place. One particular vice I have had is trying to overcompensate for what I am not or my insecurities. This eventually manifested as achievement addiction.

Growing up we are all taught from a very early age that achievements are important, for some they can become so crucial they become tied in with their sense of self-worth. While this can be healthy in one way it can be extremely toxic in other ways.

Achievement addiction is when you are consumed in looking for the next best accomplishment. This is when a person's drive to achieve becomes so great that other areas — family, love life, health, and leisure — are neglected in the effort to achieve more and more

Here’s how you know if you have achievement addiction:

Do you often have a sense of scarcity of time — not enough time in the day, or days in the week to get things done? Do you feel like you have to use to-do lists and time-saving devices to keep up? Do you often rush to eat in order to get back to the task at hand? Do you consider sleep a treat or luxury instead of a requirement? Do you have difficulty enjoying idle time? Do you struggle to make time for fun? Is it difficult to find balance (i.e. do you combine work and leisure, or take work with you on vacation)? Do you have intense energy? Are people often asking you to slow down? Do you often go from one accomplishment to the next? Do you have a strong drive to excel?

If you answered yes to more than not you’re likely struggling with achievement addiction.

For me my biggest eye-opener was I could no longer relax or enjoy life if what I was doing at the moment wasn’t something I considered “productive” or “earned” by a completed to-do list!

This is when it hit me and I started to dig deep about this. What I came to learn was that Achievement addiction has become more prevalent now due to social media and our constant desire to prove ourselves and compare selves to other people. It’s a defense mechanism. This addiction to success, like other addictions, can also be a way of hiding from emotions. Lastly, we are often conditioned by society to prioritize hard work and productivity and in many positions, we are rewarded because of it.

The problem is much like sex or drugs the addiction never satisfies itself this is why we must master the addiction by replacing it with self-care and healthy achievement.

While it may feel exhausting and you likely already feel defeated the good news is it doesn’t have to take over your life.

So let’s discuss how you overcome achievement addiction: Identify what you want to accomplish- that which is reasonable! Create milestones and appreciate the progress you are making, but take time to reward yourself with some downtime. Compare your progress to YOURSELF only Build-in boundaries (reframe your rest and create a boundary between work and play). This is important to draw a clear distinction between you and what you’re working on. Create balance in your life (delete, delegate, do) Affirm yourself reminding yourself that you are enough with or without achievements When you have accomplished this celebrate yourself. Do not try to rush and jump into the next task

Please note this is not me at all trying to push you away from achievement. Healthy achievement can be both rewarding and fulfilling. But when our self-worth becomes dependent on ever more impressive achievements that’s when we need to take a step back and take care of ourselves.

On November 1, 2020 I decided to challenge myself to one year of simply believing in me. The one thing that I have learned so far on this journey is that God can work all the way up until the 11th hour but far too often we jump out of the race because we don’t see the finish line in front of us even though we may have only been a few steps away from it.

I have been that person before. I don’t see what’s in front of me or how it’s possible so I just give up.

But honestly I don’t wanna be that person anymore. I don’t want to be overwhelmed and ready to throw in the towel at every second. But changing my mindset and my beliefs about how to approach my goals and being consistent has been tough. In this weeks episode, I share how I came up with this idea and how I’m holding myself accountable throughout the next year. Check it out so that you can follow along for my ride and possibly participate and create the same challenge for yourself!

We all have a million things that keep us busy and it's easy to get distracted.

I have been posting a ton online about my schedule during this time and how I am being sure to be productive. I recognize that it's not always easy when you're tempted to watch Netflix, or scroll social media, but I want to share a strategy that I use in order to be hyper-focused and successful with reaching my goals.

It is important to get in control of your schedule if you want to accomplish your goals.

Did you know that the World Health Organization (WHO) legitimized burnout by making it an official medical diagnosis affirming what many of us had already been experiencing for years.

Surprise 🎉surprise 🎉

Sadly so many of us buy into the hustle culture where we believe we have to be busy and go go go to prove our value

But what I want you to know is that the hustle culture is toxic AF. Overworking and sleeping when you die is more harmful than it is helpful. Being busy to brag about it is literally changing your health in the worst way.

Now I know that knowing this is one thing making a change is something totally different.

For years I was that woman wearing multiple hats doing #allthethings and trying to balance everything

But at the same time I was teetering on the brink of burnout

What I learned during this time is that less is more!

I had to give myself permission to stop buying into the hustle culture that society sells to us.

I had to remind myself that busy doesn’t equal productive.

And I had to learn that to go go isn’t always good.

This is also what I teach my clients to do because balance is so much better than burnout.

So if you’re ready to stop buying into the hustle culture and know it’s time to make a change you need to

1. Remove any language and anything in your environment that represents hustle from your vocab! I notice this comes up when we feel the need to brag to others about what we are doing and how busy we have been.
2. Redefine success. For my doctorate degree I spent almost 2 years studying the term success and deaths. I interviewed over 23 women all with different definitions of success. In this moment I realize that it’s OK if we have our own unique version a success and it helps us to create success on our own terms. 3. Review your current day to day actions.
3. Commit to a schedule that allows you to take action aligned with the success you desire! Nothing more and nothing less

Overall the hustle mentality doesn’t have to take over your life any longer. You can get in control of your schedule find the balance that you desire and deserve and ultimately change your life and success for good.

About two months ago I set a business goal

Now this isn’t unusual as I always set goals.

This time was different though.

My goal was for a new program I created (that I hadn’t even mentioned to my audience). My plan was to get 5 new clients within 30 days.

Much to my surprise I accomplished the goal in a quarter of the time (7 days to be exact). Surprisingly it wasn’t because I had some written in stone plan.

*insert drum roll please *

It was because I set the intention and let it go.......

Now I know that’s very different than what most people would teach you to do because we always want to know the “how”.

But on my journey of studying success & manifestation my number one take away was - RELEASE👏🏾 THE 👏🏾HOW👏🏾!

Not only that, I have learned from my own experience that many of the goals I hold tightly to are the ones I get most let down by.

This is the very reason I stopped FORCING goals & started to flow with them instead.

But let’s be real most people don’t really know the difference so lemme explain....

When you move from a place of force you may find yourself stuck, stagnant, disheartened & discouraged.

Anyone who knows anything about goals knows that changing the plan to get to the goal is a very real possibility. You may maintain the same overall goal, but the steps to get there can look totally different based on where you’re at in the moment, what you’re learning & what has shifted or changed.

The problem with forcing your goals is you’re operating with a one track mind and you’re only looking at the goal from one way. It’s literally a guaranteed recipe for throwing in the towel.

But on the flip side when you operate from a place of flow you allow new opportunities & blessings to come your way. New ideas, new paths & new successes can be birthed because you’re open & available to it. Flow let’s you get in touch with your creative side & to approach your goals with confidence knowing that success is inevitable.

So how can you give yourself permission to flow with your goals?

Do you ever feel tired even after you have rested?

Rest is so important because if you weren’t why would we need to commit to resting daily. Rest is when our body repairs and grows and our brains become more creative and smarter. Rest also allows us to gain more emotional control intern helping us not to operate on emotions more regularly. The trouble is most of us struggle with rest because we don’t have peace.

The truth is there is a science to resting. I thought I could rest to escape my problems and the world, but I still woke up to the chaos but each time it became more difficult to deal with. We can’t expect to scroll social media or watch TV and lay down and feel well rested. Letting your mind run free is the quickest way to exhaust yourself. The truth is rest is a mental activity not just a physical one. In today’s episode I walk you through a strategy that I have used to truly be able to rest.

Running on empty is the last thing we should do. We all deserve rest and it’s the best form of self care that we can provide to ourselves. Check out my brand new totally free self love strategies course. In this course you will learn how to make self-love a priority. To teach people how to treat you. And to find the peace that you deserve and desire.

It took me years before I realized that not everyone is supposed to live the same life.

I know that sounds obvious but think about it.

That’s not what we’re taught

What a society tell us is that we should go to school, get a college degree, work 9-5, get married, have 2.5 kids and live happily ever after.

So let me ask you .....

Do you feel like you’re trying to live life on other people’s terms?

Do you feel called to do something or be something different but feel guilty about it?

Maybe you’re miserable because it seems like everyone else’s life is falling nicely in line but yours not so much.

So now you’re trying to force a false sense of happiness on yourself.

I have news ...... the American dream is not a one size fits all.

And what works for one person isn’t a guarantee to work for you.

You’re spending time making other people happy all while you’re out of alignment with who you are designed to be.

And this is why you’re bitter, frustrated, angry and exhausted.

You see when you’re showing up fully as yourself life is spectacular, it’s enjoyable it’s amazing! When you live on purpose you literally can’t fail. The problem is you can miss the chance to live in your purpose due to fear, limited beliefs, people pleasing etc.

The choice is yours to live by design or to live by default

We all have our own gifts, talents, successes and amazing skill sets but the problem is many of us have no clue how to use them.

Then before you know it you’re looking around for one size fits all solutions to maximize your gifts, skills and talents but in turn they leave you more drained than when you began.

This is why I am so passionate about human design. Human design will give you the insight to get in touch with what is inherently you and your strengths versus what you have been told or conditioned to be. With human design you learn to better understand how to make decisions, fuel your energy, set goals, relate to other people, and how to understand your unique gifts in order to maximize them.

On the most practical level, Human Design creates a blueprint for you that shows you how to live as your true self.

All in all you learn to transform your life massively because you learn to finally make sense of who you truly are and embrace that UNAPOLOGETICALLY!

When you learn how to go through life and build on each of these things you begin to live in your purpose.

If you’re ready to not only know yourself on a deeper level but to also better understand how to use it as you grow through life schedule your breakthrough session here: http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/human-design-breakthrough-session/

This is your chance to become who you’re called to be.

I always say we are only one decision away from a totally different life. Sadly far too many of us keeping replaying the same life over and over again getting stuck in a rut, on the verge of breakdown and eventually resentful. That is no way to life.

Life doesn't have to be like this. You can make the needed shifts and changes to begin to create the life you truly desire regardless of where you are now.

Maybe you're convinced that life needs to change, you're burned out and sick and tired of being sick and tired. Maybe you're tired of going through the motions and wondering if this is all that life could possibly have to offer. You're not alone. Being stuck and stagnant is one of the most difficult places to live in. When you have no purpose, it can instantly become disheartening making you wonder if you should keep pressing forward.

Know that it's never to late to create a life you love!

But you can change the trajectory of your life by

1. Accepting your past. Changing your life is not as easy as wiping away a file on your computer. Your past is a very real part of your life. While you may be frustrated with your past know that it where growth and learning come from and truthfully that is what has gotten you where you are currently.Accept your past mistakes, but focus on the future, cuz that's where you're headed.
2. Review what you want and where you want to be. Name it. define it. visualize it. Clarity is literally the most important step you can take that can get you closer to what you desire. I mean seriously if you don't know what you want how will you know how to get there.
3. Shift your mindset. I know we all hear about mindset and it's quite frustrating but honestly without a healthy mindset no tool in the world, and no system you have in place will take you where you truly want to be. So choose to shift your mindset to focus on what you are capable of not what you can't do. One of my favorite quotes goes as "whether you believe you can or can't....you're right". Basically what we focus on grows so shift your mindset to what it is you desire.
4. Create new routines, patterns and priorities. We are creatures of habits. When we have healthy habits this serves us. When we have unhealthy habits it does not. So when you change your routines and patterns you essentially align your current life with the life you desire. While this step may be a tad bit challenging because it requires discipline, consistency and commitment this step will literally change the trajectory with your goals. So take time to review what habits and patterns are working for you and do more of those. Next determine which are not and how you can remove those!
5. Take action. Determine what it is that you need to obtain what you truly desire. Don't beat yourself up or get overwhelmed. Goals can be reached one small step at a time. One small step plus one small step equals great results.
6. Create a new circle. Research says we are the average of the top five people we spend time with. So when you want to uplevel your life you also must uplevel your circle. Now understand I am not at all saying stop talking to your friends or family that do not like what you life. What I am saying is consider who you have around you that is going to push you to where you want to go? Who do you have around you that will give you the mentor ship you desire? These are major things you will need in the process of resetting your life.

The great news is you have the power to make the shifts and changes you desire and deserve at any given moment.

Let's talk about how to make that happen:

Visualization is not for people who are clueless or woo woo or living in lala land. If you're new to visualization buckle up cuz this is going to be a super fun ride! Visualization is used by some of the most powerful and successful people. It is used by those who know that they desire to bring to what they want to bring to life their greatest desires. I have made visualization a major part of my morning routine where I allow myself to set intentions for my day AND also visualize the life I want to live. The best part about visualization is that it is fun. You get to be a kid again, by allowing your imagination to run wild and it's so freeing and exciting.

But we have to be intentional about how we use it. Truthfully you probably visualize every day....but in the WRONG WAY. What we think about and how we allow our throughs to run wild is an example of visualization. Have you ever visualized something bad and gotten all worked up or anxious? That is visualization at it's finest, but not in a way that is helping you. I want to talk about how to make visualization work in your favor because when you do it will change your life. Here are the steps to visualize successfully:

1. Know what you want- In order to make visualization successful you will want to know exactly what it is you want. Don't try to make it make sense don't worry about the "how" just identify what it is you want.

2. Get very detailed- Involve all of your senses (think about what you see,taste, smell, hear and feel). In order to bring your vision to life you have to be intentional about knowing what it is you truly want.

3. Allow yourself to FEEL it. Once you have the first two steps down allow yourself to really go there. I mean feel what you're feeling in the moment. Allow yourself to get excited, inspired and motivated. This is personally my favorite part of the process because it really solidifies it and makes it feel real. Truthfully once I get here it's hard to leave the visualization process altogether, but that means you're doing it right.

4. Apply it- When you're done visualizing don't stop there. Think of the learnings, and insights you gained from your time visualizing. Now consider how you can begin to take action on this. This is usually when I see massive shifts in my life, because my process allowed me to see what's coming, but my follow up allowed me to align my life with it.

5. Do this regularly. Visualization is not a one and done. You can't visualize what you want and then walk away from it. You have to practice it daily. The more you practice it 1. you become better at visualization 2. you start to take more informed action and 3. you begin to really design the life of your dreams.

Visualization is a wonderful tool used by many successful people and even backed by scientific research. The research shows that people who imagine themselves performing a task actually respond biochemically in their body even if they're not actually doing the task. Research also confirms that you can have all the skills and know how in the world, but if your mind doesn't match that you will struggle with the task at hand. I share all of that to let you know that this is not my opinion or some crazy concept I have come up with, IT WORKS!!

For this reason, when you are working on creating the life you desire it is important that you make visualization a regular practice. So I challenge you today to let your mind run wild in a way that serves you! If you're looking for the tools to get started sign up for my success place visualization guide HERE! You will be guided through visualizing your success and bringing it into your reality! Can't wait to see ya there!

Goal setting has been my main focus of the last several months especially as many people struggle with being consistent with their goals.

I have a strategy for goal setting called PUSH. Many coaches and influencers reference PUSH goals as it first began from Chalene Johnson, but I have created my very own acronym for what PUSH means.

A push goal is a goal that once completed will drastically impact your life + help you achieve your other goals. Like a domino effect in a good way :-)

I had a dream to write a book for years, but never went through with it because I let fear stop me. I also never went through with it because I allowed obstacles to be my guide. Not anymore. I pushed past those things and ultimately it changed my life literally.

Therefore my goal is to do the same for my clients. When I work with my clients one on one I always have them set goals. They usually set comfortable or familiar goals because that is what we are programmed to do. I have to teach my clients to step out of their comfort zone and set PUSH goals.

To me, a PUSH goal is a goal that is pushing you out of your comfort zone and into the zone where success lies. Those familiar goals are not benefitting us one bit. What good is it for me to set a goal running a 1.1 miles a day if I already am running 1 mile a day. We have to set BIG goals.

There are too many people not operating or using their gifts. I don’t want that for you. Your story along with your gift has the potential to change lives so we have no more time to waste. So in this episode, I will share what a PUSH goal is and more importantly how you can have success in creating your own PUSH goals.

When it comes to what you really want in life do you feel like you're consistently going after it %FIRSTNAME%? If you're like most people then the answer is probably "no" There is an old saying that goes as: consistency is key The truth is consistency is the bridge from failure to success but most people never cross it because it looks like hard work

The truth is...it is

But it is well worth it. Being consistent is essential if you want to make any worthwhile and significant change within your life.

Many times we believe that if we set goals and are super intense in the beginning that will work, but consistency beats intensity. Think about it. If you work out really hard for an hour it does NOT have the same impact as working out consistently over 6 months.

The biggest benefit of consistency is that it creates healthy habits that contribute to your success.

In this episode I share how to become more consistent through life. Make sure you stay connected with me at www.nicolyawilliams.com or on all social sites @nicolyawilliams

Priorities are the areas in our lives that are meaningful and important to us. In the 1400’s the word priority was added to the English language and about 500 years later we decided to pluralize it. Which unfortunately led to the believe that someone we could have many important number one tasks. The truth is when we try to be everything to everybody were no good to anybody. And we try to take one too many tasks we’re not going to be effective at any one of them. It’s important that we are able to identify our values and intern our priorities so that we can make decisions and take actions that allow us to be successful. Aligning the daily actions you take with what is truly important to you means you are becoming true to yourself and exploring more and more of your potential.

In this episode, I share how to identify your priorities and the benefit of it.

What will your life look like if you focus on the priorities?

Are you going through the motions with life? Are you miserable with the way things are going? Maybe you had big dreams for your life but they seem so far fetched. I am here to let you know that you can design and live a life you love but only if you’re willing to intentionally go after it. Here are the top 7 ways you can design a life you love

Align your life with your dreams. Sadly so many people believe that they have to wait for their dreams to come true for their life to align with it. Instead choose to align your life with your dreams in advance and before you know it your actions your thoughts and your decisions will help move you in the direction of your dreams. Change your dialogue. We have to be cognizant of what we’re telling ourselves. Research that shows that our thoughts reflect out in our outer world. So if you want to change your outer world it actually starts with your inner world. Meaning you have to shift your thoughts and your beliefs about your vision and your dream. If you don’t believe that you can live a life of your dreams you won’t if you do you’ll start to take action in alignment with that and before you know it you will start to live it. Don’t be led by fear. In leading the life of freedom and purpose, you must take charge of your fears. The truth is everyone has fears but not everyone allows fears to leave them. If you want to truly live out your vision you have to stop being led by your fear. Embrace change. The only thing constant in the world is change. And the truth is if you’re not changing then you’re moving in the wrong direction. It’s tempting to remain in your comfort zone we’re safe is familiar it’s relatable but the reality is there’s no growth there. If you truly want to live a life of your dreams you have to step out of your comfort zone in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Detox you life. A big part of the designing a life you love journey is unlearning. We are creatures of habit meaning we have a lot of behaviors and habits that we’ve normalized. Some work in our favor and others don’t. Consider what in your life may be a distraction or a barrier to your success and determine the steps you need to take to remove it. Embrace failure. If you expect to win at every turn in life you’ll always be disappointed. Failure is a big part of life. But I define failure differently than many people do. I believe that you’ve only truly failed if you give up. But failure is actually feedback an opportunity to approach it more intentionally the next time. The best thing you can do is embrace failure expected and allow yourself to learn and grow from it. And then intern apply those lessons and watch how your life begins to shift some of the most unimaginable ways. Get support. A lot of times pride will allow you to believe that you should be able to figure this out alone. But what I learned on my own personal development and healing journey was that getting support was a very thing that skyrocketed my success. When you have the right support you get the motivation and encouragement in tools you need to not just talk about your dream but to actually bring it to life.

All in all you can live a happy life that you desire if you’re willing to go after it. Yes sure it will include sacrifice it will include embracing change it will require discipline and consistency most importantly it will be worth it.

With this FREE guide I will share how to go after your dreams and in turn truly live your best life. http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/live-your-best-life/

Many of us believe that we do a good job of taking care of ourselves, but when we get to the root of it all we do not.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, exhausted or just frustrated with life?

If you answered yes to any of these you're likely not practicing self-care.

We run all throughout our day for our job, our kids, or significant others, etc, but somehow when it comes to slowing down or doing something we deserve we put ourselves on the back burner.

Society says this is the right thing to do, but research proves that not taking care of yourself first does not help anyone...including YOU.

This is why we have to make self-care a regular part of our routine.

Self care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.

While this sounds simple, when it comes to implementing it that is a whole different story

To get started with implementing self-care you need to know two things 1. You have to plan for self-care or else it won't happen. Make it part of your calendar the way you would plan a doctor's appointment. 2. You must identify what feels like self-care for you. Because what feels good to me may not be relaxing or caring for you (i.e. gardening).

So today I want to share three self-care things tips that are non-negotiable. Make sure you stay connected with me at www.nicolyawilliams.com or on all social sites @nicolyawilliams.

We’ve all known that person who always seems to be getting things done. I mean do you really know anybody who’s not busy? Most of us wake up each morning facing crammed calendars and mile-long to-do lists. Somehow some of us can balance all of the tasks with ease while others of us are struggling to stay afloat That is because they have managed to improve their productivity. While many of us are busy, unfortunately we aren’t being productive because ultimately those are two different concepts. While you can be extremely busy if you have nothing to show for it, then you were not productive. Busy is defined as having a great deal to do or staying occupied.Productivity is defined as the state or quality of producing something. Increased productivity allows people to get what they want faster, or to get more of what they want in the same amount of time. In other words productivity gets you closer to your goals, being busy does not. Today I want to share my top productivity hacks I have implemented and how it has changed my life so that you can also make some subtle shifts in turn have more significant changes in your life as well. Sadly, time is the most valuable resource because it is nonrenewable. Therefore, it is important that we use our time wisely. Remember, every minute you save, is a minute gained! Applying these strategies, even if you only use one or two will help you to become more productive at work, at home and in your life. In turn reducing the amount of overwhelm and stress you feel. How committed are you to taking your life from overwhelmed and busy, to productive and successful?

All of us make decisions based on autopilot or not thinking it all the way through. We often live by default, allowing our emotions and our experiences to control and determine our life. When in reality this prevents us from truly living. By living I mean taking control of your life, creating a vision, creating goals, and then executing on those goals, but majority of us do not do this. If you find yourself waking up every morning without a sense of direction and just letting the day happen to you then you have lost control of your life overall. Now on the other hand if you are living life intentionally by chasing your BIG vision, waking up with a plan each day then you are living by design. The good news is everyone has the chance to live by design NOT default. Most of us fall under the default category because it is familiar and “safe”, but it is literally preventing your overall success. In this episode I will tell you how to create a life where you can live by design and NOT default.

Hypnotherapy began in 1863 and it's a powerful way to connect with subconscious to reprogram thoughts/behaviors/actions. From the age of 0-7 we are in a state of super learning and our brain goes between alpha and theta state so you're constantly in a state of hypnosis. As we get older our prefrontal cortex evolves we become more rational and our conscious mind is firmed up.

Often we believe we have no control over what was programmed into our mind. As kids this is true. As adults hypnosis on the other hand gives you your power back. It allows you to get your mind into a calm state.

A lot of people think that hypnosis is mind control or demonic. Much to many people's surprise hypnosis is a great grounding and self care practice. Check out this weeks episode to learn more about hypnosis and how it can change your life!

I am going to be totally honest with you. This has been one of the most difficult posts to write. Funny for me I have always been good with words but lately they have been fleeting.

For the last week I have been EXTREMELY overwhelmed with emotion. I had a few emails and social media posts in que that were sent out automatically, but other than that I have been trying to process what I am feeling. I go from extreme sadness to overwhelm to anxiety to anger. I haven't slept more than 4 hours in any given day and I feel like I can't focus on ANYTHING.

Being totally transparent.....trying to process this all feels UNBEARABLE.

At the same time, I recognize that these are feelings that many of you are thinking and are likely trying to process as well.

Earlier today I spent time answering so many questions about the unjustified murders to my two daughters and while we had these conversations before my heart broke because I could not make sense of it for them. I just listened to their cries, cried with them and PRAYED.

I have made a commitment this season to pray like I never have before.

I am praying for healing, I am praying for justice, I am praying for understanding, I am praying for forgiveness, I am praying for hope, I am praying for love and I am praying for peace.

In my prayers one verse that continues to pop up is "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5. I even asked my daughters to memorize this verse specifically in this season. This verse is so powerful because while NONE of this makes sense to us and it hurts the Lord, He makes everything work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

I truly believe this that is why I felt led to post today.

If you have been with me for some time you already know I am going to say first and foremost take some time for self care. THIS NEEDS TO BE A PRIORITY. For me I have committed to taking some time off of social media. For you it may look totally different. But ask yourself what is it that you need in this season?

and don't just ask....honor what your body is telling you.

Tomorrow evening I am going to be featured on a session with another coach for and the group has asked me for action strategies during this time. I want to share some with you.

For those that are looking for creative ways to TAKE ACTION I want to share those here:

• Talk to those who are seemingly insensitive during this time, but from a place of love. • Share what you’re feeling with a safe person (coach, counselor, trusted friend) •Journal your thoughts • Join friends and walk for what you believe in (I did last night) • Talk to your own family including children about what is happening and consider creative ideas to process (my 11year drew a beautiful picture as an outlet for her feelings and shared it on her you tube channel) • Recognize any of your own judgment, or bias, and be willing to make any shifts or changes • Consider donating to the Grassroots Law Project or signing this petition: https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floyd

While these strategies are not a one and done each small step you take matters, but also know unless you first take care of yourself and your mental and emotional health it can be challenging to step in to help others. Take care of that first and know that I am praying for you during this season and will NOT stop.

Sending nothing less than virtual love!

As part of my coaching practice I like to offer discovery calls to potential clients. This is a way of opening up an opportunity for them to share some concerns they are having and where they are stuck and for me to give practical advice and feedback and complete a mini coaching session.

I love these sessions because 1. it gives me a chance to talk to new people, 2. it keeps me on my toes as a coach 3. It helps others really highlight some areas they are stuck, but to make a plan.

I like to say that E+R=O is the success formula that puts you in control of your destiny.

You see many of us believe that the events that happen to use determine our life, but I am here to share that its not the event it is actually your response. So because of this you are actually in control of the outcome of your life.

We have to stop looking to blame everything and everyone else. Because looking outside of yourself is the biggest mistake you can make. Blaming other people gives them more control that you know. The most important lesson you must understand that you are 100 percent responsible for your life – the good and the bad.

Two people could go through the exact same situation and have totally different outcomes ! Take divorce for example. Some people farewell after their divorce while others struggle . You may be wondering why. It’s all based on your response. In today’s episode that is exactly what I discussed .

As a life coach I work to help women heal from hurt that is difficult to discuss and I also help women write, publish and prosper from their story.

Now many people would ask how do these two things overlap ?

Great question...because I never would have thought they would either.

God showed me something different.

When I began my business it was 100% by accident. For years I had a desire to write a book, but in 2016 I committed to following through with this goal of mine. When I published my first two books I instantly became a best selling author.

That is when things changed. People started to reach out and ask for tips to write, publish and become a best selling author as well. I used my experience to coach people through this process.

From there I started to see and learn a lot. I learned that many people, who desired to become an author, were struggling with healing from things that they wanted to write books about. They were struggling with abuse, trauma, divorce, financial concerns, childhood memories, repressed memories etc. I am a licensed counselor so immediately I knew I wanted to coach them through the healing journey. This was life changing for me because for once I could take my years of education, my passion and desires and change lives.

It was then that I knew I desired to be a coach and that is when my brand was birthed.

I have spent the last several years coaching people through healing and helping them turn their story into books that change others lives as well. The best part is all this began from a little dream to publish a book.

I am so glad I finally made the non negotiable decision to commit to my dream because this journey has been such a blessing and I wouldn't have it any other way. You can schedule a FREE call: https://calendly.com/nicolyawilliams/15min

How would your life change if after this social isolation time was over you had your published book in your hand ?

How will your life change if you had speaking engagements or interviews lined up?

How would it feel to have best selling author added to your bio?

How would life be different if you could bring in an extra stream of income from your book for years to come?

How would it feel to have the opportunity to help change peoples lives?

If we are being real this experience would be life changing.

Isn’t that what you desire?

Cuz I know it’s what you deserve!

In 2016 I had a dream to write a book. I had no clue what I was doing, no clue where to begin or even what would happen next. All I knew is that I desperately felt led and wanted to write a book.

I promised myself that I would give the book ALL I had for 6 months and then check back and see where I was with my goal.

Much to my surprise, I was able to take that dream and turn my book into a published masterpiece in just TWO short months.

During this experience I journaled what I was doing, how I spent my days, what worked and what didn’t work.

Little did I know that journal would serve as a blueprint to help others write their book.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about writing a book for sometime but you’re struggling with understanding where to begin.

I have good news for you. I am offering a totally free class that will walk you through the steps you need to take to get your book written in 30 days. Sign up here: http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/writeyourbookin30days/

Today we’re going to continue our talk about boundaries. There’s so much to be said and so much to learn in regards to boundaries . Last week we discussed boundaries with yourself because obviously that’s the first key to setting healthy boundaries with anyone else. Today were going to discuss setting boundaries with difficult people. Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards them and how they will respond when someone passes those limits.

Setting boundaries with toxic or difficult people can be extremely challenging. The truth is setting boundaries in general is already difficult but it puts an extra level of difficulty when it’s someone who was already toxic

Let’s discuss a simple step by step strategy you can use to set boundaries without guilt.

Going through my divorce was one of the most difficult things I have ever experienced.

Letting go of the image I had in my head about my family, life, dreams, and plans felt unbearable.

I had to learn to create a new picture in my head and mentally doing this was much more difficult than physically trying to understand.

After over six months of trying to get my mind and my life together, I knew I needed help.

I knew that I could no longer allow shame and embarrassment to keep me stuck.

The reality is life changes a lot after divorce and it's easy to lose yourself.

After my divorce I took a lot of time to reflect on my needs, wants, desires and takeaways. This process hurt, but I also knew it was refining me and therefore I made it a priority to push through the pain to find the purpose behind my experience.

I took time to focus on personal development so that I could find the person that I had burried away for too long- myself

I took time to learn to LOVE myself not for the pain and the hurt, but for the resilience and strength

During one of the most diffcult times of my life I learned to put myself first. I learned how to heal my hurt. Now I use my own experience to teach others how to do the same. I am teaching a totally free course to teach you how to discover yourself after divorce. Sign up for my FREE training here: http://www.nicolyawilliams.com/discoveryourselfafterdivorce/

While it may sound cliché the truth is we can’t pour from an empty cup. Meaning that you must first take care of yourself before you’re going to be impactful to anyone else. We often are willing to be kind to other people but when it comes to ourselves it’s something that we quickly overlook.

Self-compassion is showing kindness to one’s self especially in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, or general suffering.

In this episode we talk about what self kindness is why it’s important and how you can implement self kindness into your life.

I spent a long time thinking about what my second episode would be about. I got so much great feedback from you guys regarding my first one and wonderful questions so I’m excited because I have a lot of things to share over the next few episodes.

Today I talk about stepping outside your comfort zone.

Routines can be stable and comforting, but they can also turn out to be confining over time. Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk. The trouble is leaving it can be scary because it means an increased risk. This causes many of us to operate out of fear and it turn attempt to stay in comfort zone at all costs. But stepping out of it is key to discovering your passion, accomplishing your goals, and finding happiness. In this episode I share the problems with your comfort zone and how to break free for good!
