I am a brownie lover. I have never tried to hide it and I have only once turned down the opportunity to get a brownie while traveling. (That’s a whole other discussion for a different episode tho) This year on Christmas Eve I received some fresh brownies and it brought my heart great joy.

Well...the brownies were not just for me but you get my point. Lol

I received them without a second thought. Now, the same person would have brought a fruitcake to my home they would have been banished. A least until they learned how their disrespectful ways hurt me. Lmbo!!!

Honestly, this season always makes me reflect on so many things in my life but the brownies almost made me cry. For years I felt that receiving what I wanted was in some way selfish. As someone who was always giving, always showing up, and always sacrificing, I found it hard to receive until I started doing something different.

Do you find it hard to receive the things you love? Listen in to today’s episode and them chime in on the discussion on IG @altoviseunmuted

Remember why...

As we head into the week of Christmas, there will be many opportunities to think about the what and the who but don't lose sight of your why. This year was the first year where I actually took off all month. I was nervous to do so. I had to turn down opportunities to work with new clients and say no to current clients.

Let me give you a little back story. For years I worked sometimes two and three jobs just to make ends meet. (Let's be honest here...do they ever really meet tho?) I missed milestones and moments that will not happen again. I hardly saw my children and I was always tired. ALWAYS! One day would slip right into the next one. I know that many can relate to this because I receive messages every week that remind me that there are others living the life that I was living.

Then, a few months ago, after a 7 AM call from my doctor, I had to rush to the ER for a blood transfusion. It was a reality check for sure. Had I forgotten my why again? I had a real hard conversation with myself and decided to make some adjustments. You will have the opportunity to see and even be a part of what I am working on very soon.

My why...was the freedom to live a better life. Better than what you may ask.

Better than living paycheck to paycheck

Better than living on medications or in pain

Better than not having REAL relationships with the people I love

Better than not enjoying brownies before dinner sometimes

Better than the IG lifestyle (That'll preach right there. lol)

While, I have done a lot of work to live a better life, that hospital visit showed me that I was not living my best life. So, as I embark on this journey, I will be sure to keep you updated. The weekly emails will continue, and I have two major launches coming in 2022. It's the transition from better to best and I don't just want it for me. I want it for you too. Over the next few weeks, I will be highlighting some of the accomplishments of 2021. Here is the first one I posted over the weekend. A Blessing with my name on it!

As you head into this holiday week, remember your why!

Everything has a cost...and the cost can be expensive. While many will immediately think about a financial cost, when you show up you will have an emotional cost, relational cost, mental cost, and even a physical cost. That cost is more and more evident with the use of social media and media outlets.

This is the episode that knocks out the myths of what it means to be an influencer. Let’s pull back the curtains and shine a light on a few things.

On one hand we have Nick Cannon and his tribute to his son and on the other hand was a post from @destiny_inspires. Both showed a clear picture of the what the cost of showing up looks like.

Are you ready to pay the cost to show up like a boss, like an influencer...like the CEO that you put on paper? It’s achievable if you are willing to put in the werk.

Two years ago, while at SpeakerCon2019, I found a makeup brand in a hair store that I have fallen in love with. RK by Ruby Kisses was my go to in a clutch when I realized that I didn’t have any makeup with me while I was out of town. No...I didn’t know what color to get or even if it would be good on my skin. (Am MUA I am not! Lol)

Recently, while preparing to be honored at SpeakerCon2021 it hit me. I’ve been using the same brand of makeup for two years but I knew nothing about the company. In a time where storytelling leads to sales and engagement, I was using a brand with no commercials or celebrity endorsements.

So, I started searching and you know what I came up with? Nothing! Zilch! Well not exactly...that’s why I did this episode!

Have you ever felt like you were hidden in plain sight as a business, speaker, or author? How did you handle it?

It’s kind of unreal when I think about it but I am now an award winning author AND an award winning speaker. It blows my mind because the introvert side of me still cringes when I think about getting on stage. Oh...trust me...I have a whole coaching session with myself before I speak sometimes.

Walking on stage only two things rang in my head:

1. Gurl...you better not trip up these steps

2. Gurl...you better not forget your speech

Although this is my second award, this is my first time giving an acceptance speech. (I nailed it just in case you were wondering. Lol) I had to 2 minutes to make an impact, give my shoutouts and leave my imprint on the SpeakerCon stage! I did it in 1 minute and 35 seconds.

There are a few things that stood out to me in this moment and a great reminder for every entrepreneur.

What are you preparing for?

Check out my acceptance speech on my IG @altoviseunmuted and let me know what you thought about it.
