No Money for Your Business? Look at the Bright Side

Many people want to start a business but don’t because they think it’s impossible when you don’t have thousands of dollars to start with. Then there are those who are so motivated that they would start a business no matter what—even in spite of the lack of money. 

I’ve talked, in the past, about exactly how you can start a business with very little money in the How to Start an Online Business with Virtually No Money episode of my podcast, Master Your Mission. 

Most people would look at starting with no money as a major disadvantage, and it can make things more difficult, but everything is about perspective and how you look at things. You’ve got to look at the silver lining to this cloud. 

Here’s how starting a business with little to no money can be beneficial to you.

You have to be more creative.

Figuring out how to run your business and get your audience’s attention without the use of paid advertising requires you to...

Your Spiritual Energy Can Help You Succeed

I’m not a religious person. At all. And don’t worry, I’m not about to talk about religion because 1) it’s such a polarizing topic, 2) it’s a matter of your own personal choice, and 3) that’s not why you’re here.

Although I’m not religious, I do strongly believe in nurturing a spiritual connection from within. I think it’s important that we all understand and are able to connect to spiritual energy or what I like to call, God energy—not to be confused with the God of any particular religion. 

Our spiritual energy is what binds our souls to our bodies. It’s the manifestation of pure love, and it exists in us and around us.

Whether you believe in a higher power or deity of any sort is of no consequence, because you still have spiritual, or God, energy inside of and around you. I believe it’s the unexplainable part of the human condition that allows us to transcend the unthinkable and to accomplish the...

Why Success Requires You to Be a Robot

I talk about mindset a lot on my podcast, Master Your Mission. I’ve said before that I think it’s the single most important factor to your success.

It’s the one thing that can either keep you locked in a state of fear and immobility or free you and allow you to go hard for your dreams. Your education can’t do that, money can’t do that, your circumstances can’t do that—nothing else has the kind of power over your life that your mindset has.

Your tenacity and ability to keep going through all the tough things you experience in life, are a result of your mindset. When your mindset is that you are fully committed, even when you’ve failed every day in the past and don’t know what tomorrow holds, you still get up and act on your wants and desires because you believe that someday something will be different.

When you have a mindset for success, your drive is unquestionable. Success driven people often operate with an, almost, robotic...

Celebrate Yourself

I’ve been working my ass off this week, and I’m so excited for what’s to come. Right now, as I’m writing this article, I’m preparing to host my first live training (webinar) for a few hundred people who want to hear what I have to say about starting a business. I’m super excited and ready to help them!

In the training, I’ll be teaching them all about the dropshipping business. This method makes starting a business super easy for people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to do so, so this is really important work to me. 

I’ve had a few rough weeks, as of late, where I really felt like I was spinning my wheels in a few areas of my life and not really getting any traction.

So I wanted to take the time today to celebrate me, and I’m telling you this so that you can celebrate you. Whatever it is that you’ve been doing every day to reach your goal of being a better you, give yourself the credit you deserve for doing it.

I've Been Holding Out in My Business & I'm Going to Do Better

It’s time for a moment of self reflection. I want to start this article by apologizing to you. I’ve been holding out on you and this week, I realized just how much.

When I started my coaching business, I was kind of torn between whether I wanted to teach people how to actually start a business—like process steps—or be more of a motivational coach. I just knew that I wanted to share my passion and encourage more people to take the leap to become entrepreneurs.

We all know how much entrepreneurship can change entire communities for generations and generations. Plus, I personally know how depressing life can be when you work for someone else doing something you’re not passionate about with a dream of owning a business but aren’t sure how to make it happen.

So I thought encouraging people and teaching mindset related topics was enough. After this week, I realized it’s not. I’ve gotten such an amazing response to the webinar that I’m...

Money is NOT Evil!

 

I want to talk about something that I posted on my social media today. I posted it because I was thinking about a comment someone made on another post of mine while back.

It was a comment on a video I posted on my Instagram—I can’t remember what the video was—but someone commented on the video in agreement and said something like, “Yeah I agree. Money is the root of all evil”. 

*blank stare*

I mean, first of all, whatever the hell I was talking about in the video, that person seriously misunderstood. I certainly didn’t mean to convey a negative message regarding money. Since then that comment has kind of bothered me and I’ve been wanting to talk about it here.

The reason is because so many people have been ingrained to believe that the meaning behind that saying is that money, itself, is evil. I’ve heard it time and time again. 

It’s a shining example of how a limiting belief can keep you stuck in a poor...

Why #TeamNoSleep is Bad For Your Success

If you spend any amount of time on Twitter or Instagram, you’ve probably seen #TeamNoSleep before. People use it, almost as a brag, to let you know that they are depriving themselves of sleep in their efforts to do whatever tf it is that they aren’t sleeping for—which is usually #BossShit.

I think that not sleeping is one of the most ridiculous things you can choose to pretend to be proud of. Have you ever had insomnia? It’s not fun. Insomniacs are really #TeamNoSleep and I never see or hear them bragging about it.

Not sleeping is not a good thing. It’s actually really bad for that thing you live in called, your body. I got this straight from the government - according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, “ Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.”

Our bodies were not designed to go for long periods of time without ample sleep. If...

5 Reasons to Stop Procrastinating & Start Your Business Now

It’s August now, so that means that next week it will be Christmas and then the day after that it will be the first day of 2020. My God, where did the time go?

If you’re the type who sets New Year’s resolutions, you better start thinking about what ‘new you’ you want to be for the new year and creating a plan of how you’ll get there. I’m not a resolution maker, because—obviously—I like to change things when I notice that they need to be changed and I strive to accomplish new goals throughout the year. Thus, my 66 Days of Bold Action Challenge.

If starting a business is something you’ve been thinking about doing but haven’t done yet, I’m going to try to convince you right here, right now that you should start your business now rather than waiting.

So here are 5 reasons you should start your business now:

It’s never been easier to start a business.

With the ability to start a business or a side hustle on...

Sometimes Being an Entrepreneur Really Sucks

I’m just going to get to the point here. Sometimes being an entrepreneur really sucks. Anyone who owns a business, or who has owned a business, would probably agree.

It’s really hard and it fucks with your mind. Some days it seems like nothing goes right and everything you touch goes wrong. Or you get a customer who wants to yell at you and you just want to yell back. But you can’t.

There are times when the money is dry and you wonder why you ever wanted this entrepreneurship thing in the first place. Coming up with money to pay for the marketing campaign you launched that brought you 0 customers is always fun.

And don’t even get me started on having a business and a full time job. Especially when the full time job is also stressful. The combination of a bad day on the job and a bad day in your business can make you want to find somebody to punch in the face.

You really do have—or will have , if you’re starting your business—those days...

Perfectionism Is a Trap

In yesterday’s episode of my podcast, Master Your Mission, I talked about how misplaced ambition can lead to depression. Here’s a link to that episode if you’d like to listen.

 One of the ways misplaced ambition can lead to depression is when it is tied to perfectionism. First, let me explain what perfectionism is.

Perfectionism, as defined by Google Dictionary, is the refusal to accept any standard short of perfection. 

That may not sound so bad at first, but when perfection becomes the standard, it gets dangerous to your success and to your mental health.

In thinking of perfection, some rather obvious, but hard to answer, questions come to mind. What exactly is perfection and how does one achieve it? Is it a certain number of likes on social media? Is it making a certain amount of money or having a specific number of children in life? 

Perfection is really subjective. What’s perfect to you may not be perfect to me. And unfortunately, most...
