This whole year, every time I come back to my roots, I’ve gotten this nudge to go minimal with our life. Tiny living feels so right!! Getting rid of all our extra stuff is like urgent right now!! Just being present and experiencing life more!! That’s what’s on the agenda for 2019. Get ready for us. These three free birds are about to LIVE BIG!! (Which means tiny and full of joy)
I love this little girl with all my heart!
Almost 10 years ago! Tri colored hair for my headshots! Do I look the same?? 😂
I think this is our first real holiday photo this year! Today we went to the Magic House with Francis which is essentially this giant Victorian house full of activities for kids. 20 years ago I also went to the same magic house, so today I expected it to be completely different...but was really hoping that they’d still have some of the same stuff. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The big bubble maker! The giant pin art you can stick your whole body in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...guess what?? They did!!! They had all of the really cool stuff that I had remembered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Isn’t it so funny how we often look for familiar things in new experiences because it feels comfortable! I don’t mean to turn this into a business thing, but I’m going to...because do you know me!!?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We look for that thing that’s comfortable, but in order to have new experiences we have to actually HAVE a new experience and be ok with something different. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s one of the scariest things about success, I think. Where you want to be, isn’t the same as where you are now. You change and then it changes too. Part of you changing is being ok with a level of uncertainty and getting excited about not knowing how everything is going to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s what really scares us shitless about living the life we want. But the more uncertainty, the greater the reward. Xo AF
Today when I think back to everything I’ve created in the last 4 years, I want to cry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I first started my business from a 12x12 bedroom while working as a server in the restaurant industry, I had no idea that I’d create what I have today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thousands of amazing women in my community! I’ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs on their business dreams. I’ve traveled to amazing places like Cabo! Worked with some of the top coaches in the world. Had a baby!! What!! And then changed my whole business model to be able to spend more time with her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm literally only 27 years old! When I started this business journey at 21, (no I didn't make money right away) I didn't know that I'd have all of these amazing experiences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also didn't realize the human experience was part of the path to success as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of those successes you see above came with a shadow side of things I had to work through to get there. For all of those things I'm forever grateful too. Why? Because it's what has made me who I am today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've gotten into tons of debt and gotten myself out. I've failed hard. I've learned huge lessons. I've been scared shitless. I've learned how to be a stronger person and now understand the true power we have as spiritual people living this human experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so grateful for ALL OF IT! There's nothing more rewarding than knowing that you are where you are because you were the person who always kept going. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep going babe. It pays off! I promise. xo AF
I'm so grateful for this little girl. 19 months ago today, I made a decision. I felt like I might be crazy, but I did it anyway. I decided that I was going to cut down on my work hours and spend as much time with her as possible, while still having a multiple 6 figure business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In those short 19 months -- I mean it really does feel like the blink of an eye -- I set up a business that truly serves me and what I want in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Women from around the world asked me to mentor them in doing the same thing so that they too could have a business that created what they really want in their life -- freedom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They were tired of the 24/7 grind just like I was and probably just like you. So we changed it. We created something sustainable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've seen these brilliant women get their spark back. Have the time to actually deal with issues in their life that they've been putting off and that opens up so much space for them to start really living their life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've seen them go from genuinely hating their business to falling back in love. I've seen the frustrations, struggles, and heartache. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've also seen the flicker of light within them fire up when they see that they can do business their way. When they see that they can have the business, time, travel, clothes, luxury, and amazing clients and really believe it, there's no stopping them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so proud of everything that I've seen these powerful strong women create. This is just the beginning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕AF PS If you've been silently watching, I want you to know that this success I'm talking about, it's meant for you too. When I made that decision 19 months ago, it changed everything. That's all it ever takes. One decision. _______ Comment "ME 🙋🏼" below and I'll DM you about ways we can work together to make 6 figures + a whole lotta freedom happen for you too.
It’s feeling like a lazy day for all of us today... BUT lazy days are only for Sunday afternoons post brunch. Any time I feel like it’s harder to focus on my work, I always go back to where I’m headed. What is your next big goal? Why are you doing it? I take a step back from the computer, do something for myself, and think about the bigger picture. It always gets me motivated to dive back into building my empire. How do you remind yourself to keep going?
