A successful business includes these three elements: message, messenger, and medium.

Message: What's being said.

Messenger: Who's saying it.

Medium: How it’s being said.

While most people hyper-focus on the message, rack their brains, bang their heads and then give up because their message wasn't unique enough, I want to approach this from a different angle.

The message has already been said.

Everything that will be said has already been said.

So, stop worrying so much about that and instead focus on your role as the messenger. The person who needs to deliver it.

There is someone out there in the interwebs, or even in real life, who needs to hear that exact message from YOU in order for it to sink in, to make sense, or to cause them to act.

The messenger is something that gets overlooked, but it's the most important piece.

Has this ever happened to you...someone said something to you 6 different times, but when someone else said it the first time, it clicked.

Of course it has. And you are the CLICK for someone else.

Go be a messenger.

I stood up Oprah this weekend.

About a month or so ago, my girl, Marie Forleo, shared that she'd be speaking at Oprah's Super Soul Sunday in LA and they were selling tickets to attend.

I thought it would be super cool and inspiring to be in the room with Oprah, Marie, and some other incredible humans.

So, I bought the ticket. Booked the flight {in and out within 36 hours to LA}.

Then I had the most incredibly inspiring {yet, exhausting} weekend in Vegas last weekend, a red-eye flight home and over 30 hours of just client calls and meetings, workshops, etc this week.

Plus...I hadn't had any real quality alone time with Tyler in two weeks because of travel.

I canceled.

I lost some money.

I decided that if I went, yes I would be inspired, but would it align with my goals? Move my business forward? Ehh, maybe. {But probably not - no offense Oprah!}

Not really aligned with what I'm working on...And I still have tons of stuff to implement from last weekend, so I don't need more of that if I'm being honest with myself.

The part of my business that needed me the most this weekend was the part that takes time away.

My fiancé needed more than my business needed me this weekend.

My fiancé and pups wanted to spend time with me more than Oprah did {the cold hard truth}.

And while saying no was really hard and sure I got FOMO probably 66 times today...I had an incredible, and much needed day with my man {and pups}.

Which I guarantee will allow me to pour into my business and into my clients next week way more than sitting in the same room as Oprah will. {maybe?}

I knew taking the red-eye home tonight -- I'd be on a plane at this very moment - would mean another week where I just tried to play catch up the entire time.

Not cute for me.

Sometimes the thing your business needs is not more inspiration, not more business, but rather MORE LIFE.

Your business needs you to have a life. That's where creativity lives. That's where ideas emerge. That's where you create the internal freedom.

When you're making decisions for YOUR business - ask if it's aligned with your goals, if it's not, it's a no ☺🙌🏻

So, today I stood up Oprah, but I don't think she missed me.

When thinking about my whole "permission to hustle" concept -- this is actually the EPITOME of hustling in my mind. Yes, not going to this event was hustling.How, you ask? Because it had nothing to do with my goals.I don't want you to hustle for the sake of it, or work non-stop! I want you to get smart and strategic about what you need to be focused on and hustle on that! That's where permission to hustle comes in. This isn't about burning out, it's about taking ambition and turning it into action unapologetically, but only when it aligns with the results you want to create.Oprah didn't align for me this weekend.

This past weekend I attended an event in Vegas that was the culmination of a program I worked through during Q1 of this year called 90 Day Year, with Todd Herman. 

It was an epic weekend to say the least where I connected with some incredible humans and entrepreneurs who are all doing amazing and world changing things. 

I took over 40 pages of notes...not even kidding. And I want to share some of those knowledge bombs and insights with you through the podcast and in my FREE community as well as special insights for people who are on my VIP list through the Permission to Hustle™ mini-course.
