There's actually some truth to the saying, "No pain, no gain..."

In this week's episode:

• I don't think you can have success without pain.
• Personal growth must happen before business growth.

You should never accept the word NO or "that's impossible" for an answer in your life or your business.

 In this week's episode:

• I do not want you to ever take the word "no" or the phrase, "It's not possible" as possible answers in your life or your business.
• Those are not possibilities in my life. (I give detailed examples in the episode)
• When someone tells you "It's impossible" it only means that it's impossible for the person talking...it has nothing to do with YOU, your life, or your business success.
• Everyone I knew said I would fail as a business coach.
• I started (and succeeded) anyway.
• Failure is part of success.
• If you truly want to succeed, you CANNOT accept "No" or "impossible."
• Success (an manifesting) requires making a decision plus action.

Personal and professional success will leave clues every day. Discover what some of my online mentors taught me recently. 

In this week's episode:

• Following people online and actually "studying them" are two very different things and one of these will really help your business grow.
• Social media copy, image, gifs, wardrobe, how a shot is set up, etc. are some of the things I study on a daily basis.
• Business lessons and life lessons are all around us all the time. Be open to them!
• Athletes, business people, children, and artists are some of the people I study online as well as their branding.
• Athletes are great people for entrepreneurs to study because of their incredible work ethic, their mindset and their success and failure journeys.
• I detail how Gary Vee's branding is always on point and provide examples.
• Successful entrepreneurs "sell without selling" by letting their audience in on their life and by being themselves.
• People buy from you because OF you.
• The more you are...

Today on the podcast, we detail several ways you can increase your business success with strategic mindset, energy, and environmental tweaks. 

Mindset

• Definition: Collection of your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs
• I mention Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, PhD
• I work on my mindset through meditation, yoga, and journaling and I describe how I do this

Energy

• Definition: Strength and vitality needed for sustained physical and mental activity
• Energy begets energy! (Use it and you’ll have more throughout the day)
• I provide proven strategies that increase and sustain energy

Environment

• Definition: Everything that surrounds you
• I mention four different environments: Physical, emotional, natural, mental and explain them.
• Your business “readiness” and growth will mimic your environment

This week's CHALLENGE: Challenge: Choose one area of mindset, one for energy and one for the environment that you will apply so you can more easily grow...

I Took the Day Off Today...And Still Made Money!

I  took the day off today. (Well, technically, I did do a 20-minute business chat with a new client, but the rest of the day was spent not working.) I thought about working, I just did other things instead.

• Got a manicure
• Went shopping
• Drove my son from ACT training to weight training to basketball training
• Spent loads of time scrolling through Instagram

Besides that 20 minute chat, I didn't work at all...and I still made money. (hint: Entrepreneurs should have multiple streams of revenue!)

It was a really nice day. Beautiful weather, sunroof open, lots of happiness. When I reflected on my day today, I couldn't help but smile at the huge transformation my life has gone through in the past 13 months. I used to read loads of blog posts and articles about the "laptop lifestyle" and "working when you want" and I thought to myself, "It sounds so incredible, I wish I could be like them and have a business like that..."

Now I...
