Alison didn't always have the confidence she has now in her business. In fact, she had to work hard to get it, and she did it through journaling. Today she's sharing her daily practice that built her confidence and her business.

• Her biggest strategy was getting the mindset to have the confidence to proceed.  Having the confidence that she is where she is supposed to be and doing what she is supposed to do means everything.
• Sometimes everyone can tell you that you are doing the right things, but it is just not working.  It was getting in the right mindset that turned it around.
• Starting and ending with journaling.  What did I accomplish? What went well?  What did not? Why did it not work and how could I have made it work better?
• Writing out "I am phrases" are powerful.  Its ok to feel great at what you do, feel needed, and that what you do is valuable.
• Being confident to talk about money.  Be confident in the numbers that you give because you know that what you have is valuable.  
• Journaling affirmations just builds your confidence.  
• You have to know you can get the results for our clients, knowing that value and sticking with that price when you are in negotiations.
• Her biggest hurdle was allowing herself to be exposed.  Knowing you don't have to be perfect. People want to get to know you, who you are, and they want to work with you because of the way that you do things.
• She is putting herself out there on the public speaking platform even though it is terrifying.  
• Continue to better yourself, learn more things, and challenge yourself.  No one else is going to do that for you.

• After reading "Think and Grow Rich" she realized she continued to dig deeper when journaling.  Challenging the assumptions you have based on past and not fact. You can rewire them and create new habits.
• You can recreate new habits by repetitions.  If you continue to repeat the same thing over and over, it becomes repetitive behavior, and then repetitive behavior becomes a habit.  
• You can actually change your thinking in the long run by being mindful in the short term.  You can catch yourself in the thought.
• You have to work harder to recreate the new thoughts, but eventually they will become automated and the new habit.  Everybody has the ability to do this.
• In changing her mindset she thought bigger and more confident in who she approached, and it allowed her to make bigger investments in herself.  
• Knowing she will be successful because she wanted to be.  It's all a numbers game. You can reverse engineer from the goal you want to achieve.
• Read the book "The Miracle Morning" because it is about carving out the time you need in your day for success.  Test out different things to see what helps you.
