While the things you don't know change as you grow in business, you'll never know it all. That doesn't mean you're always going to have to "fake it to you make it," but you will have to act confidently, even when you don't feel confident. That's why establishing a confident mindset is so crucial to success. In this mini moment, we are discussing some mindset reframes for where you can derive confidence from to act more confidently, whether you know exactly what you're doing or what the outcome of your actions will be.   Our Favorite Quotes "We have to figure out, how can I go execute confidently, even when I don't feel confident."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, I would greatly appreciate you shaing this episode with your friends or on your Instagram stories (and tag @laptop.lifestyle.co)! There are so many amazing women who need to hear this message and who are working to build their dream lifestyle, and I'd love you to help me spread the word.    Resources and links mentioned in this episode: Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel

This week I am sharing with you a real life training I did for the ladies of Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp. To give some context, I had been asked multiple times how I get sh*t done - even when it's hard or I don't want to. In order to give this question the full answer it deserves, I recorded this video training to share some of my tips and suggestions for taking action and just doing it, even when you don't exactly feel like it. There is so much actionable information in this training that I had to share it with you all here on the Made For More Podcast!   In this episode, we cover…

• How our nervous system impacts our ability to take action
• Why we often have to eliminate choices and opinions to be productive
• How expectations impact our emotional responses
• The importance of priorities in business & life
• The impact our environment has on our productivity & habits
• Mindset shifts to help you stay consistent and getting shit done

  Quotes "I'm a firm believer that you truly can have and do anything, but you cannot have everything at once."   "You have certain habits and defaults that your body just has trained and gotten used in your current environment now. It's very very difficult to change your habits and way of thinking in the same environment in which you were used to other habits and ways of thinking."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned: Offer Oversight Quiz Uplevel Your Offers & Make $100k/year Masterclass Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp

When we feel lack, we can end up sabotaging our success. Instead, we have to state it how we want it to be able to manifest the abundance that we want. Along the way, we can address the money stories that we have developed through our lives to act without resistance.   Our Favorite Quotes "State it how you want it. Because when you state it how you want it, it's creating a positive and real representation of what you want to be creating instead of what you don't have yet."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, I would greatly appreciate you shaing this episode with your friends or on your Instagram stories (and tag @laptop.lifestyle.co)!

With today's guest, lifestyle & wellness coach (and Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp alum!) Ruthie Johnson, we are diving into the depths of mindset.

  Quotes "In western cultures we're very strategy heavy. And actually that stops us from seeing that there are other dynamics and other paradigms we can be in."   "If you already knew you were worthy, then how capable would you be to step into everything that you wanted?"   "Your worth is inherent. Like no lion wakes up in the morning and goes, no, I'm not worthy. I'm not gonna eat today. Like it's just a completely made up construct."     Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned Ruthie's Instagram Ruthie's Website

In this episode, I'm sharing a fresh perspective on niching down, and why it's so valuable to your business!

It all comes down to the magic trio to sold out offers, and I'm spilling the tea on exactly how you can niche down to stand out. Expect to be sold on niching down after this episode - even if you're multi-passionate, new to business, and feeling frustrated the current state of social media.

If my service is niched down or rather specific to one person in one situation during one time, it can become the highest value possible."   "In order for you to sell more, in order for you to sell out your offers with ease and stand out, you cannot continually just do new and keep hopping from thing to thing or keep executing with the short term thinking."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Resources Offer Oversight Quiz

Instead we have to consciously decide what small things will bring us closer to our own definition of happiness and contentment.

We all have the power to choose, and it is in the choices that we make that we can move ourselves forward. Often times, we tell ourselves that something isn't an option, when really, it's just not the decision we are making in that moment. In this mini moment, we get into how to take action even when we don't feel like we know what we're doing and embrace an unstoppable mindset to get what we want.   Our Favorite Quotes "Not knowing something is not a valid excuse ever for why you shouldn't or why you can't do something."   "The worst place to be is dreaming. The worst place to be is in that middle ground of not being satisfied with your current reality and yet not doing anything to actually change it either."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, I would greatly appreciate you shaing this episode with your friends or on your Instagram stories (and tag @laptop.lifestyle.co)!
