I’m allergic to bull shit. I’m also allergic to anyone saying I can’t, because 99% of the time you CAN you just WON’T. Do you want to know why? You’ve been running the same old tape recorder over and over in your head and it tells you can’t. It remembers the first time you ever failed, the first time you felt insecure, alone, or even judged AND IT STOPS YOU IN YOUR TRACKS. It almost feels like the MADNESS will never stop but it can. I know, because I’ve been there before and I’ve found my way through. So can you.

In This Episode: * [02:37] - When you have a trademark, you have the exclusive rights to your business name * [06:30] - Getting lost and going down the social media rabbit hole * [08:49] - Not outsourcing soon enough * [13:24] - "I should have hired a coach sooner" * [16:25] - Falling into the pits of imposter syndrome
Key Takeaways: * If you do not have a trademark, you have no rights to your business name when you're just starting out and your business income is low. * When you're constantly looking to attract more people, you're never truly connecting with the people who are already supporting you and your business. * When you are at the beginning of your business, you can't see your blind spots. You can't see why you're not making money. And this cycle of overwhelm is just going to continue. Coaches can help you immediately see past your blind spots. They will know what's working for you and what's not.

Who are we to judge?
In this episode, I share with you how easy it can be to fall into the trap of thinking and believing that "what we see is what we get."
Our stories are UNIQUE, powerful, and transformative. When we do the work to overcome them they become our GREATEST STRENGTH.
When we share them, we HEAL.
When we heal, we create space for others to do the same.
Without judgment, attachment or expectation, only love.
The same love that I'm sending to you right now.
