When are you going to get a real job?

“When are you going to get a real job?” 

The words out of my mother’s mouth rang in my ears like a hard slap to the face. Each word dripping with mocking cynicism. The smirk on her face as the words came out of her mouth made me want to lash out like a wounded animal. 

Business wasn’t going well. I was struggling. But she didn’t know this and I would never tell her...

“I do have a real job” I was calm, collected, emotionless. But behind my cool demeanor, I was crushed. A scared little girl just wanting someone to tell me “You’re doing great! Everything is going to work out!”. But I’d never get that from her. She’d never see me. Little did she know how strongly her words had affected me. How much fuel they added to my burning will to succeed. I had to prove her wrong. I didn’t need her support. Period. 

As the years went by and I grew into my business I found those comments hurt less and less. The tree of self-assurance I had been cultivating grew in to fill the voids left by her doubt. Every day I get to work with people I care about, doing what I love is a win in the face of doubt and adversity. Every day that my clients win and I get to see the ripple effect my determination to never quit has on the world of those around me is worth every venomous word spit my way by those who didn’t believe in me. Because I know the truth. My life makes a difference. 

💥 What I’m doing is changing lives 💥 

If I had stopped all those years ago and gotten a “real job” I’d never get to show you how to create a system that you love that helps your business thrive. Or help you to build that self-assurance you’re going to need to fill the doubt that others are inevitably going to have in you because your dreams are too big for them to comprehend. Or show you how to keep the passion you have for your business burning white-hot so your dream clients feel it when you speak to them and they buy with ease and happily pay what your services are worth. 

I didn’t give up on my dream and now I'm here to help you overcome the naysayers and doubters in your life so you can continue to pursue yours!
