SPENDING IN THIS INDUSTRY-if you're really abundant...you will spend excessively, wastefully or recklessly?Now... here's the kicker tho: I don't mean that spending is BAD. But if spending a looooot of money is abundant for someone else and THAT is what serves them at a higher purpose...it doesn't mean that that is what abundance has to look like for you. and let me get this straight--there's nothing WRONG with spending. But if that isn't what serves you...it's not what abundance has to look like rn. Maybe abundant for you is paying off loans, saving for a home WHILE still having fun. Stop letting what other people are doing to enjoy, celebrate success and be abundant HAVE to look like your version. 

My previous corporate employers has had some big lay offs recently, and it really made me reflect on my time at corporate.While yes, it is a "steady income" you aren't guaranteed anything when you're working for someone else. That's not to scare you into entrepreneurship, but it should get you thinking about two things. 1) multiple streams of income -dog walking-plasma-realestae -biz owner-side gig-VA-investing2) EMERGENGY fund-one month of expenses-8 months of expenses just chilling-shit will happen, be able to RELAXI don't want to scare you into this.

Awesome Treat Yo Self Categories-Go on a walk -Read a book before bed-Close your laptop by a certain point every nightCrappy treat yo self Categories-Screw my budget I will impulse spend $500 at target-Screw my workout I am just going to go home instead-I'm going to buy starbucks or lunch out bc i was late and didn't prepare ahead of timeWhen we act out of a place of instant gratification (like children), we think we are adding to our happiness, but in reality, these aren't actually helping our bigger picture goals. New Treat Yo Self-investing a higher percentage in your retirement-planning out a shopping spree & then taking one-taking a planned rest day from working out-planning out what you'll spend at starbucks & then buying itI want to reiterate that wanting something and buying it isn't a bad thing, but often times this "treat yo self" movement isn't actually treating you long term, it's just a glorified way to say self-sabotaging. Make a list of the things you do when you treat yo self & see which ones are actually you self-sabotaging. Create a new PLANNED OUT, self-advancing, exciting and guilt-free way of treating yourself instead. It's not treating yourself if afterwards you feel sluggish, guilty or mad at yourself. Treating ourselves should be a part of our planned out spending and our planned out activities. So, friend, treat yourself in a way that actually treats yourself. 

Friends & family discounts, charging your friends and so much more. Should biz owners charge their friends and family? Should non-biz owners expect product/advice for free or discounted from friends and family? Where do these "rules" come from anyway?

What Orange Theory taught me about comparing results vs. initial planningHow you should decipher if you should do something or outsource/get help How your ego is shitting on the results you dream about.

Why would you loving something, be a reason to not get paid for it? It comes from the belief that making money HAS to be hard. Does making money have to be hard? The answer, if you choose, can be no. No, it doesn't have to be hard to make money. Yes, you can be compensated, and highly compensated for doing what you love. ALL of your results are driven from your beliefs. Identifying your beliefs and then choosing a new belief is everything. So, here's your reminder that making money can be fun & easy. Ask yourself today...what would it look like in my life if making money was fun and easy?
