In this episode, I’m diving into the differences between a scarcity money mindset and an abundant money mindset. And the reason I want to do this is because there’s a pretty good chance that you *think* you have an abundant mindset when, in fact, you’re living from a place of scarcity.

Making more money isn’t what will flip you over into an abundance mindset. If you don’t intentionally create an abundant money mindset, you will go from being scared that you don’t have enough to being scared that you’ll lose it all. This work is SO important for that reason.

Do you know what your ideal day looks like? Or are you just hoping that everything you’re doing will add up to the life you want? For most people, it’s the latter! It’s so easy to get caught up in the short-term, without taking a step back to determine whether your goals are going to add up to what you want.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple journaling exercise that will help you clarify what you want and how to use this exercise to start living your ideal day now. The incredible thing about this exercise is that, more often than not, it reveals what truly matters - and most of the time, it’s not what we’d think.

Today I want to go into how to make the most out of the self-help books. I have written a blog post about this before though it wasn't too detailed. I have been getting a lot of questions lately about what I do when I'm reading, how I remember it, and how I apply the self-help books.

In the past, I’ve struggled to make a consistent time for reading. If you’re wanting to read more books, I shared how to do that in Episode 31.

I created this podcast episode to have as a source of reference for anyone who is wanting to go from feeling inspired by self-help books to experiencing the change that they can create.

This episode is what to do with those books when you’re sitting down to read them.

Sometimes, what can be really powerful is doing a little reset and getting yourself organised - especially when you feel like you’re in a slump or you’re not following through with your plans and good intentions.

In this episode, I’m sharing 7 simple steps to reset and get organised. You can do all of them, you can do just one of them - but these are the things that will really help you get organised and get some sense of momentum back.

If you’re wanting to stay organised and make it a habit, so that you don’t need to do these resets often, make sure you find out more about Dream Habit.

For 2018, I set myself an ‘impossible’ goal. And that goal was to make $500,000 in business revenue (which was more than 10X what I’d ever made before).

The point of this goal wasn’t necessarily to achieve it, but to grow into the kind of person who could achieve, to learn to go after something all-out (even when it’s not going to plan), to get comfortable with failure and to see what I’m capable of. And I have to say - setting this kind of goal, and working towards it for an entire year, has been completely life-changing for me!

In this episode I’m sharing exactly how I went with my impossible goal. And I’m not just sharing the lessons, but also a behind the scenes look at my revenue, profit and expenses too (down to the dollar).

I hope you find it helpful! To find everything I mention in the episode, be sure to visit the show notes.

So many of us spend our time working towards our goals and wishing things would be different so that we could feel better about our lives. But the truth is, it will never get better than this moment!
