Are you living your life on autopilot? Getting up each day and going through the motions thinking that "one day" you'll get some passive income going. Or maybe, once a situation in your life calms down, or your spouse's job situation changes, THEN you'll take the plunge and move the needle in your life!

We can get stuck in a rut by doing this because it is so easy to go through the motions, focus on the day ahead, and the day after that... and quickly lose sight of the big dream and big mission you have in your heart.

I can remember many times having a horrible day, feeling like everything just was piling up on me, forcing me to long for change. For many years our log cabin dream was just that, a dream. An idea we would pull off the shelf and discuss on these "bad days." Sometimes, I would look back and think, wow it's been almost a year since we last talked about this because time moved quickly when I was focusing on the day ahead rather than my big plan.

Today's episode asks you to dig deep within yourself and be honest, would you rather play the long game, the game that involves going to work and retiring after a 20 + year career or would you rather take a small risk in yourself and give it a real shot at retiring sooner?

Sometimes, even though we would RATHER take option B, to retire sooner, we allow ourselves to stay stuck in the rut that leads to option A.

I hope today's episode and the questions asked inspire you to get honest with yourself and push you to take action. Don't settle Friend! Life is simply too short.

Sometimes it's not a job that ties us down and keeps us from living the freedom lifestyle, it's our own business! This was the case for Dai Manuel. He had spent years building up his fitness clothing company to the point where the job and responsibilities were weighing him down. Meanwhile, his wife, who was a world traveler prior to their marriage, was consistently dropping hints that she wanted to explore the world again — this time with their two children.

In today's episode, Dai shares the mental process it took for him to be open to traveling, because, as he admits, he was a bit negative about the idea from the beginning.

Dai and I talk about:

• What it is like traveling while leaving family behind
• Leaving a career that has become an identity
• Creating an online brand
• How to plan your life
• How to overcome fears that keep you stuck such as thinking of the worst-case scenario
• How to create a life you love
• How to get clear about your dream and make a plan

Published Author, Aaron Knipp, founder of the CICO Company and CICO Support Organization has an incredible story to share! His entrepreneurial journey began by journaling his weight loss process when he lost over 100 pounds. Out of curiosity, he sent his journal to a publisher and viola, his book 'Calories In Calories Out: What It Took for Me to Lose 140 Pounds and How You Can Do It Too' was born.

This book led to one new adventure after another to the point now where he has started a non-profit company that helps people by offering scholarships for mentorship in addition to financial coaching, weight loss coaching, and digital marketing and social media services. 

I really enjoyed getting to know Aaron and hearing his journey and I especially appreciate how he wears his heart on his sleeve. I know you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did. Check it out and remember to share it with others who will benefit from listening to it.

Do you struggle with Imposter Syndrome? I think EVERY entrepreneur does. Recently, I was listening to the Ed Mylett Show and he and his guest Eric Thomas both admitted that even still they experience imposter syndrome at times.

I believe imposter syndrome happens because we set a place in our minds and call it "there" and until we get "there" we decide we don't have what it takes to reach our goal, make the impact we want, or produce the very thing we excel at.

In today's episode, I reveal a verbal slap in the face that my good friend Abra hit me up with that shook me and helped propel me over my imposter syndrome. 

And, did you know that negative thinking is the number 1 addiction - especially in the US. Negative thinking is simply a habit that we have learned and that we can change. This topic ties in perfectly with overcoming imposter syndrome because I show you exactly how you can create a habit of positive thinking that can push you past the imposter syndrome hurdle.

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur this episode is a must-listen.

When you hear the acronym SEO, do your eyes gloss over? LOL. Maybe it's not that serious, but many budding entrepreneurs and even successful business owners still ask what is SEO and how can they leverage it for their business. This week's episode explains what SEO, which stands for search engine optimization, is and three strategies you can implement on your website or blog to start capitalizing on this important part of online marketing.

We discuss what 

Technical optimization is: That is essentially optimizing your blog or webpage via the SEO function on the backend of your site. This will impact how your page displays on search engines and where it leads your searcher too. Power tip: Make sure to add the deep link that takes searches exactly where they want to go to get the information they are searching for.

On-Page Optimization: This is formatting your copy, images, and headlines with keyword-rich phrases.

Off-Page Optimization: This involves using outside platforms and recourses to create backlinks to your website which help promote it and increase its relevancy in search algorithms.

We also touch on ways to improve search engine optimization for your e-commerce store such as Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon.
