The secret to getting back into your skinny jeans
Food or exercise? Which do you think matters most when you're trying to get in shape?
Before you answer, let me share a personal story about what I'm celebrating this week... I'm feeling stoked because for the first time in months, I can fit into my skinny jeans!
I don't talk about weight and body image much because people usually roll their eyes when I do. They say things like "you're skinny, you have nothing to worry about" or "what do you know about putting on weight?".
But as any woman knows - and I'm sure a lot of guys do too - body image is such a personal thing. It's not the numbers on the scale that matter, it's how you see yourself.
When you look in the mirror, you don't just see your physical reflection. You see what you already believe about yourself - which is often shaped by your life experiences.
When I was younger, I struggled with my weight a lot. I went from being a super skinny kid to filling out in my early teens and staying chubby for years. It's only after...
Have you been neglecting your mindset?
The other day I replaced a cartridge in a high-end water purifier.
It was meant to take 5 minutes… but it took me over an hour (and after a couple of tantrums, I finally asked someone to help me!)
Was there something wrong with the filter? Nope.
Did I follow the instructions incorrectly? Not this time (although that has happened before!).
The problem was, I hadn’t used this particular water purifier in several years. This caused the filter cartridge to get over-saturated and it created a tight seal inside the unit. So separating the filter cartridge from the lid required a mammoth effort.
At first I felt annoyed because the advertised '5 minute filter change' had failed by miles. But of course I accepted it was my fault, and because of one thing - neglect.
It's actually a story I see playing out all the time in the mindset space.
Most business owners believe their mindset is fine because they read 'Think And Grow Rich' ten years ago. So they go about spending all their...
The 4 Essential Steps For Manifesting What You Want

How I Manifested 100 Designer Dresses on New Years Day
Is Manifestation a real thing or is it just luck?
There seems to be two schools of thought on manifestation.
Those who swear by it - and those who think its spiritual fluff.
As a money mindset coach, people assume I'm in the first camp.
But I agree with both perspectives.
You see, the problem is that people who claim to 'manifest' things, tend to only say that when good things happen.
They have no explanation for the times things don't work out.
And they usually can't teach the process to anyone.
This is what I call Magical Manifesting - basically nothing more than wishing and hoping.
Like the time I printed out the picture of the $1M cheque from The Secret and stuck it up on my wall... and nothing happened.
I felt like an idiot for doing it but I didn't give up on the concept of manifestation.
Why?
Because lots of big things have come to me over the years that seemed like more than random coincidences.
Things like the prestigious business scholarship I got at the end of high...
$25k in 12 hours...
$25k in 12 hours…
A few weeks ago, I helped someone make a subtle mindset shift and he closed a $6.5k sale the next day.
He messaged me again today to let me know he made $25k in 12 hours… and is on track to hit $40k-$50k this week.
Amazing result and one I’ve been very reluctant to take any credit for. Except he keeps sending me voice messages saying a shift has taken place.
See, this guy isn’t even my client. He’s my coach.
In case you’ve missed my last few posts, I recently hired a business coach, Richard Fletcher, who specialises in messaging and copywriting.
I signed up right in the middle of coronavirus because I was ready to build momentum. But I had noticed Richard wasn’t promoting his higher-ticket program (the one I joined).
Instead, he had switched to a lower cost offer that was making great money, but I sensed something else was going on. So I asked Richard about it and he admitted he assumed people wouldn't pay...
How two of my clients got $200k+ jobs during a global pandemic
It’s impossible to get a high paying job during COVID. Everyone knows that.
Except two of my clients just landed $200k+ jobs.
Let’s start with ‘Rob’ (not his real name - he’s a high-profile executive and wants to remain anonymous).
Rob left his last exec role 18 months ago. Now you’d think it would be easy for a high level boss to walk into another well paying job - but it’s often not.
You see, there just aren’t that many exec roles around at any one time.
And the recruitment process is usually a formality because they already know who they want. These types of jobs aren’t generally advertised on online job boards either.
Rob would sit for months and get zero calls from recruiters.
And for the roles Rob did apply for, he got rejected every time. With each knock-back, his confidence took a further hit, until one day he knew he had a problem he couldn't fix on his own.
Rob had progressed to the fourth interview stage for a...

The Incorrect Assumption People Make About Debt
There’s one assumption people make about debt that’s WRONG.
People get this wrong whether they’re $5,000 or $100,000 in debt.
And it keeps them stuck in a paralysing cycle.
It's exactly what happened to my client, Toni.
Toni felt like she was drowning in debt and she couldn't face it anymore.
That's when she hopped on my 5 day Money Blocks Breakthrough Challenge and reached out to me for help.
Like a lot of people, Toni had assumed that to get out of debt, you need to make more money.
She'd been trying this for years and was getting nowhere.
Sure, you need money coming in to pay off a debt balance. But that’s treating the symptom.
It’s like putting cream on a rash when you don’t know the cause.
It turns out you’re allergic to canned tomatoes, but you don’t know that. So you keep eating tomatoes and keep using your rash cream.
You get temporary relief with each outbreak, but the problem never goes away.
You might struggle...
How I Got Out of $97,000 of Personal Debt
Today I want to share my story about how I got out of $97,000 of credit card debt.
Yep… $97,000.
I felt inspired to share this because a friend of mine told me yesterday that she thought I’d had a perfect life and I’d never struggled with money.
Can you believe it?
If that’s what my friend thought, then it means I’ve been pretty darn good at keeping my debt a secret… and I did it mostly because I was so embarrassed about it.
I’ve been keeping it a secret when in fact, it’s the whole reason I went looking for help and stumbled across money blocks.
Finding and releasing my money blocks changed my entire money story and also allowed me to quit my corporate job and create my dream business.
I shared a video today in my private Facebook group about my personal story and why I’m so passionate about showing business owners how to fix their relationship with money.
I wanted you to see it too, even if you’re not in my...
The LCS Formula For Attracting Your Ideal Clients
What would someone look for if they were thinking of working with you or joining your program?
When I'm deciding whether to hire a particular expert, I always look for the following 3 things - and if you're an expert, you can use my LCS Formula to attract more of your ideal clients.
The LCS Formula:
LIKABILITY - do I like their style? You can always tell this from their videos. Written posts can be great too but some people have excellent copywriters doing that part for them - so I rely on videos.
CREDIBILITY - do they know what they're talking about? What have they have achieved in their own life and helped their clients achieve? What relevant experience do they have (LinkedIn is a good spot to check out someone's background)?
SUITABILITY - is their offer what I want/need right now - i.e. self learning modules, a group program, 1on1 help? Is the price what I'm willing to pay for this person's help (this is usually a no-brainer based on ROI)?
If I like person's style and...
