In this episode, I am joined by Susan Hamilton Meier. Susan teaches the importance of ’embracing the zig zag’ and she helps business owners to tell their stories and design their professional paths.

Susan is an expert in brand strategy and distinctive messaging for businesses (large businesses and individuals as well).

She believes in being your best as a strategy (rather than trying to beat out your competition), and that your unique zig zag path is a marketable feature of who you are, not a flaw.

In this episode, Susan shares the process she takes people through to uncover their story, and she shares some powerful thoughts on creating a brand (and evolving as a brand) as well.

If you’ve ever wondered how to entwine all of the experiences you’ve had in your career path and your life into a powerful story to represent your current business, this episode will help you.

Enjoy the episode!

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I shared some juicy journal prompts and suggestions to help you start the new year with clarity, purpose, and celebration.

It’s 2023 already can you believe it?

It’s a fresh start, a blank slate, a chance for new beginnings and a chance to start over. It always feels so refreshing to me, I love this time of year.

So… I just wanted to give you a couple of ideas that might be helpful to do as we start the new year.

This episode is a recording of the Grow Rich Mastermind call that I hosted this morning, and a couple of things that we spoke about were:

1) The importance of celebrating your strength and how you overcame all of your challenges last year (instead of just rushing into the new year without taking the time to acknowledge your progress).

I also shared my Burning Bowl ceremony experience from New Year’s eve and gave you some other ideas for rituals you can do to release the things that are no longer serving you as you enter the new year.

2) Some journal prompts that I think may be helpful for your business, if you have one, as we enter the new year. I know many of us set goals for the new year, so it’s also good to figure out what we need to put in place to hit our goals.

Journaling things out is super helpful – it’s a great way to communicate with your higher self.

It’s the best way I know of to get some of the answers and insights that you can’t really get anywhere else… there’s a stream of consciousness that we tap into when we journal and write it all out.

And I do believe it’s important to get clear on some of the questions we spoke about today to set ourselves up powerfully as we enter the new year, so that we don’t get to the end of it and feel disappointed that we didn’t get to where we wanted to go.

I also spoke about the importance of having a personal development budget- so that we can feel good about buying the books or courses or whatever we need to help us move forward in the ways we need to… without thinking twice about it.

Anyway, we dive more deeply into this in this episode.

I love you, and please remember that I’m here to help, always.

Enjoy the episode!

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I shared 5 Ways to Prepare Your Mind and Business for the New Year.

I just LOVE thinking abut the beginning of a brand new year as it approaches.

It’s like a blank canvas and a new beginning and a chance to let go of the things that are no longer serving us and to create a new year in a way that excites us.

2023 is right around the corner and this is a perfect time to set new intentions, to wipe the slate clean, to do things differently and to declare new outcomes in your life and business.

We get to ask ourselves,

“On the other side of 2023, who do I want to be?”

Rather than chasing outcomes outside of us we can focus on who we want to become.

Do you want to be healthier? More confident? More empowered? More clear? More grounded? More wealthy?

I made a little end of the year guide a couple of days ago that I posted on Instagram.

And, this morning, I elaborated on it a little more and walked through each of the steps live on our morning call.

I wanted to pass it along to you, to hopefully help to give you some ideas on some things that you can do to end the year powerfully and in a state of awe and gratitude.

The guide is called 5 Ways to Prepare Your Mind and Business for 2023.

I hosted the Grow Rich Mastermind this morning, and I went into detail on each of the 5 ways.

And I added the breakdown to my podcast so that you could download and keep it forever.

Enjoy and it hope it helps you to create your new year in a way that excites you, inspires you, and calls you to reach higher.

I love you, and please remember that I’m here to help, always.

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I shared some of my vulnerable experiences and deep thoughts regarding my journey through many years of alcohol and drug addiction as well as my 25 years of sobriety.

This post was sparked by a comment that I received on a recent social media post, where I was expressing gratitude for my 25 year sobriety date.

Most of the comments I received on that post (there were hundreds) we uplifting and positive, and many were from people who were starting out on their own sobriety journey who were very grateful because the post gave them hope that it’s possible for them to succeed on this journey as well.

So I replied, “Why is that?”

And his response was:

“It’s not good to focus on what you don’t want… For example, do you still keep track of other behaviors that don’t support you? Do you count how long it’s been since you last pooped your pants? Or wet the bed?”

This got me thinking… I thought to myself,

“Should I stop talking about it?”

And my intuition immediately responded- ABSOLUTELY NOT.

There are too many people in the world who need encouragement on their journey.

I actually read a statistic today that said that only 2% of addicts succeed at getting sober… and the majority of the rest end up dying from their addictions.

So, if I can help anyone- even one person- see that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, that’s what I’m here to do.

That negative comment is what inspired this episode today.

And, as I went to record it, I realized that although I make a small gratitude post about my sobriety date each year, I’ve never really shared my deep feelings or experiences about my journey… so you will get all of that here.

Even if you are not an addict at all… I believe that this episode might help to shed some light on what those of us that have struggled with these demons go through, to give you a new perspective about it.

And if you are on a sobriety journey yourself or considering starting out on one, I’m hopeful that this might help encourage you and to remind you how important it is to celebrate every step of your journey, forever.

Thank you to the gentleman who left me the comment that challenged me. Who knows… your comment may end up being responsible for saving someone’s life. Thank you.

And for anyone struggling with the demons of alcohol and drug addiction, I love you and I believe in you, and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

Enjoy the episode!

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I talked about the importance of allowing yourself to be messy in your message and your marketing.

As humans, being vulnerable and transparent often feels uncomfortable to us.

Speaking from our hearts feels scary.

And when we are new at a business or just learning how to market online, it usually feels a whole lot easier to copy what someone else (who is more successful than you) is doing, than to fumble around and find the way that suits you best.

But I’m here to tell you that, when you get up the courage to be messy and share your journey and admit that you don’t have it all figured out yet, you will attract an audience of people who want to follow along with you on your journey.

This is all I’ve ever done… and, not only has it helped me to be successful in the different businesses I’ve done online, but it has also helped me to build an audience of people who are loyal, and would follow me forever, to the ends of the earth.

Why? Because I’m messy, and relatable.

I went into this in more detail in this episode, and I hope that it helps you to remember that It’s important to give yourself permission to be messy and to allow people to follow along with you on your messy journey.

You can actually treat your business an your marketing like a playground, and have fun with it and attract a ton of people along the way.

And I seriously can’t wait to see what happens for you and your business when you do.

I love you!

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I talked about the importance of being adaptable in your marketing strategies and how we have to keep up with the changes in technology.

As humans, we don’t like change.

And when it comes to our marketing strategies, we tend to be skeptical when new things are released.

I think that’s just human nature to automatically be skeptical, especially if we’ve been doing something a certain way for a long time…

…but it’s important for us to be adaptable and to change with the times because we have to go where the people are.

For best results, we have to put our message in front of the people on the platforms where they’re actually going to see it, even when it’s different than what we are used to doing.

I went into this in more detail in this episode, and I hope that it helps you to remember that It’s important to be adaptable.

It’s important to grow and evolve with the times and with technology when it comes to getting our message out to the world…… because your message matters and deserves to be heard.

I love you!

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I talked about the importance of getting your message out into the world, even if at times it seems like nobody is paying attention.

Often times, as human beings, we hold back because we feel like our message is not being given the attention it deserves, or it just feels like nobody is listening at all.

The truth is, you came here with a message to share, and your job is simply to share it… your job is not to control the way it is received.

I go into this more in this episode, and I hope it helps you to remember the importance of sharing your voice, your gifts, your passions, and your light with the world while you are here.

I hope you don’t don’t die with your music still in you.

I love you.

I can’t wait to share the best way to monetize your passions and travel as much as you want.

In this episode, I shared Why I Don’t Believe in Niching Down or Pleasing the Algorithm.

This may be a bit of a controversial topic for some people, but I’m okay with that.

In my community, we get together every day to mastermind about our marketing strategies and many of us are getting great results with short form video right now (Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts).

Because these short form videos are all the rage right now, it’s literally easier than ever to create content and to have it pushed out to the people who you can help with your work.

But one thing I see people doing constantly, is creating content simply to manipulate the algorithm, rather than creating content that comes from your heart and allows your audience to get to know you and what you stand for on a deeper level, and ultimately content that will move the needle for your audience members.

So, in this episode, I’ll talk about my take on creating more meaningful content, rather than just creating stuff in an attempt to please the algorithm.

I also shared why I don’t believe in niching down (unless it feels in alignment for you)… and why I’ve always come from the school of thought that the best way to build a loyal following online is to share yourself fully.
