You're not meant to play small! You're meant to do big things! To be a leader - to lead, to share your knowledge, what's on your heart and in your mind and radiate from your soul, we cannot do it alone!

To build a great business requires a team. It requires you to step more into leadership, ownership, CEO vibes and allowing people who are over the moon excited to help and serve you in ways that are their zone of genius. I want you to feel comfortable hiring your first VA (or third!), and that's why I'm sharing this with you today.

This is one of my favorite topics! Because contrary to popular belief, working harder, struggling, putting in more hours, putting more things on your to-do list, are not the things that actually make you successful.

It's so much about your energy more than anything else!

If you're coming to the table needy, greedy, and wanting money more than anything else, whatever is happening between your two temples, will dramatically affect your success.

So today I'm going to be sharing with you what I do to help visualize my way to success!

Think this sounds like a lot of work? You're doing it already! You're manifesting already! You're visualizing already! So why not do it in a way that helps you rather than hurts you?

Key Points Discussed: (02:45) How your brain works (04:53) How to put the right energy into your visualization (08:00) The science behind it (09:41) It's all energy! (12:00) You're doing it already! (13:01) What about when it gets hard? (14:34) What to do if you're committed to visualization

We are talking planning today! I'm going to give you some of my tips and tricks for planning in 90-day increments. I have yearly plans as well, but I like to whittle it down to a 90-day container because it is really palatable and easy for me and my team to navigate! Even if you don't have a team that's ok. You always want to have a plan!

You don't want to wake up one day like, I don't know what to do or what I'm supposed to promote! What's happening? So, you definitely always want to have at least a 90-day plan in place!

I want to talk about something very important. We are in a big transition. We are in a Mercury retrograde. We are in all kinds of crazy planetary stuff. So, if you're feeling this urge to pull inward, if you're feeling this desire of completion, or have a need to kind of settle yourself or you're feeling like, oh my God, what's next?

You can only do so much when you're trying to please all the people! They all have very different needs, desires, things that they're after, and you literally can't address them all. You just can't! So niche down, niche down, niche down!

This one is hard for a lot of people…..

Because you're a giving, loving person, you want to help all of the people all of the time but it's not only going to make your life very challenging because it's very difficult to market to everybody. But, it will be harder for your audience to know that you're actually speaking to them and solving their problem or overcoming their challenges.

By niching down, you will be able to serve in a greater capacity! And ultimately, niching down is the key to really successful messaging.

(01:30) The importance of niching down (03:47) So how do you niche down? (07:30) Addressing your potential clients pain points (09:37) The key to successful messaging
