One of my listeners emailed me recently and asked the question I'd been only vaguely answering up to this point:

"How did you become okay with being successful, making money, and not feeling guilty? How do you reach the point of feeling valuable and acting like it? I try so hard to do everything right, but I can barely make ends meet after all these years. Am I simply not meant to be successful?"

Here is the tale of a girl who came from nothing, who believed she was nothing, who felt unloved, unsuccessful, and trapped in an endless cycle of try-fail-repeat.

Spoiler alert: You'll love the ending. I made one "simple" mindset shift that redirected the trajectory of my business and, more importantly, forever changed how I view myself.
