Spiritual awakening... I had one but it didn't look like what I thought it would. I imagined fireworks, light, love, and glory all the way.

Instead, it happened by puking into a bucket for 3 nights in a row in agonizing emotional, mental, and physical pain, looking and feeling my worst in the past 30 years, and facing things that are beyond description.

And it so happens to be episode 100 of my podcast! This is highly controversial and not for everyone; I'm just hoping my account survives it....

I’ll never forget the day I took a morning walk with a friend and Lexi in a stroller. 

Inspired by a theme of a reality TV show about billionaires, I asked him “If it was a question of life or death of both of your kids, would you be able to make a million dollars in the next 90 days?”

He said "no, you?"

I thought for a second... and reluctantly said "yes." In fact, I knew if I really had to I could do it in a month.

I quickly did the math -- what would it take if...

Here are the 6 stages of stuck. Where are YOU stuck right now? Where are you not moving through discomfort? 

Stage 1: 

You have been working “behind the scenes” on content. Spending hours on blog posts, emails, even books, or outlines and content for your program. It makes you feel good. You feel productive. But, deep down you KNOW that none of this is going to serve people or scale your business. And the minute you are finished and it’s time to go talk to...

There’s events, and then there are our events - where people actually get real results. 

I teach you EXACTLY what it takes. Unfortunately, people have been made to think it’s EASY to build a 6 and 7-figure business… 

IT’S NOT. It’s hard work, it’s courage, it’s constant investing, constant surrender, and extreme consistency. 

That’s why most people don’t do it. 

But if you are someone who CAN follow through, roll up...

If there is one thing that keeps entrepreneurs stuck at the level where they are at, it’s staying safe and playing mental gymnastics to avoid acts of courage.

Here are the 6 stages of discomfort. Where are YOU at right now?

I always said I was not a perfectionist and that was my strong suit. 

I can get an email out in 5 minutes to my list, and go live with almost no preparation. 

Except there’s one shade of perfectionism that I saw last week: The Superwoman. 

Always trying to look like a success story.

Perhaps I’m not the only one? 

When I looked this thing in the eye, I saw that I was TERRIFIED of looking weak. 

I was terrified of being humiliated. 

Building an 8-figure...

Another controversial post from me, but believe me, not for the sake of controversy. 

If you told me two weeks ago I would be writing this, I would probably throw up.

And no, I am not going to call you out for being a copy-cat... so relax. 

I’m not in the "calling people out" business. (That’s 170 on the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness - if you want to know… not a good energy.) 

Today I am sitting here, 30 pounds lighter, after a...
