Today’s affirmation is: I forgive myself.
As I’m recording this it’s the last few hours on the last day of the year. For many of us, this year has been A LOT. It came with some high highs and some really low lows. And when things go bad, the tendency is to treat yourself badly, too. We talk down to ourselves. We bring up past failures. Sometimes, we can be downright mean. It has to stop. It’s time to forgive…not them, you.

I’ve been hearing two loud but different messages on how you should approach the month. One is to Finish Strong. Buckle down the last few weeks of the year. Do whatever you can to make holiday sales.
The second message is to Finish Light. Rather than attempt to finish the year strong, do as little work as possible. Set your business aside for a bit.
Not sure which of these you should choose? Listen to find out my suggestion. I even s...

Today's affirmation is: I am Grateful
Our brains can be so quick to dismiss our progress. We must be intentional about expressing gratitude for the things that are working.

Today's affirmation is: I Stay in My Lane.
If you find yourself comparing your life to others in a way that's unhealthy, you're probably in the wrong lane.
If you have shiny object syndrome and regularly jump from project to project, this affirmation will help.
And if you micromanage the people you've hired to help you because your way is the only way, learning how to stay in your lane can change that.

Today's affirmation is: I embrace guilt-free rest.
Do you know how to rest? I don’t mean when you stop working on one project in favor of another or forego client work to wash the dishes. I mean true, relaxed body, guilt-free rest.
It’s okay if you don’t. Not many of us entrepreneurs do.

Picture this. You’re at the end of a phone call with your ideal client. You’d love to work with them, and they seem excited to move forward with you, too. “So,” they start, “I really need what you offer. It’s just what I’ve been looking for. How much is it?” Do you confidently share your pricing model, or do you nervously share a number that you hope they say yes to?

This year hit hard, and we are ready for a change. That need for something new has many of us anticipating 2021. Yes, there's usually excitement around the new year, but this feels different. It's almost as if changing the calendar will hit a magic reset button. But that's not going to happen without some effort from you.

At the end of last year, I was so excited for the calendar to turn. Were you excited, too? We set our business goals, created vision boards and hit the ground running. In January and February, new products were launched, new programs were started…and then we got hit with one public crisis after another.
