I remember years ago thinking about what I wanted in terms of material success. I created a vision board with some Chanel things on there. I had some clothes things on there. And I decided that when I hit $100K (which felt like how I image $10M/year feels) like it was the most ridiculous amount of money.. and that when I hit $100K, I was going to buy a Chanel watch. I had no idea how much it was. I had no idea where I was going to get it…but at that time in my life, it felt like it would be the epitome of success.
I remember when I hit the $100K in sales and I was like “No way am I buying that watch!” Maybe if I’d received $100K in my hand in one deposit then maybe I would have handled it a bit differently. I found it harder to part with larger chunks of money back then. I set my goals more realistically and put money to tax and paying off the house! I thought “I’ll have the house paid off in like 10 years” again… circumstances were different. Business changed, life changed and goals changes.
Earlier on in my business I was very spend happy and not so excellent at managing my money – I was in total a) denial!! And b) having fun! I’d never experienced such financial freedom every before. Expensive champagne. Lavishness aplenty. It was great. But I didn’t want or need that way of life to last. I have a little too much of an addictive personality is what I have.. and left unchecked it could’ve led to more problems.
Anyway.
When I travelled I loved buying designer things. We don’t have that opportunity here in The Country hahhhaa!! Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Prada, Valentino… ahhhhh. I loved them all and my collection expanded. Each time I went up a dollar level, though, it made me vomit a little.
The first time I spent $200 on a handbag it felt like a stretch. I remember buying a purse while I was still at The Bank for $120 and feeling like it would have to last me 5 years at least!!
Then the first time I invested $2K in a bag #vomitcentral And then $4K on a bag. $1500 on a pair of shoes. Each time I spent more than my current financial programming aligned, there was a vomit!!!!!
I declared to myself in 2018 that I wanted to own a Chanel handbag. This felt like a new vomit level for me. In fact, I remember talking to a friend of mine, Kisma, about it actually, and about how this was my next challenge! #vomitvomitvomit 2018 didn’t quite go according to plan so at the start of 2019 I declared that this was it! The year of Chanel. The year of expansion. The year of doing things my way and declaring what I was available and open for! Shoes – done! Laptop sleeve – done! Bag… Up to Nov 2019 hadn’t been done yet.
On Tour earlier this year, I was telling a story about the financial levels I’ve been through and the Law of Increase and Law of Reciprocity. I was talking about what I’ve seen clients go through and how they (and I) treat money and what comes in. We were talking about what we deserve and what we’re worth.
We discussed things like adding a zero to things and how the shifting of a decimal point can be the difference between comfortable and holy fuck balls, batman!!! Hhahahaha!!! For some reason, a ZERO can freak us the fork out.
Why on earth would a zero freak us out so much? Or a decimal point. It’s so strange. But, it was what my experience was. And so, on Tour we were talking about the things that we had all committed to and I remembered the declaration that I had made, a promise to myself that I made, to invest in myself this year.
I made so many decisions about what I was WORTH this year. What I DESERVED this year, that was very different to how I’ve run things in the past. For me, I committed 1BILLION PERCENT to: Fun, transformation, freedom, love and joy OR BUST.
I decided that I was going to have a strong AF body. Abs. A body I am super proud of with how it performs on a daily basis I decided that I was going to have GREAT skin. Great hair. Ridiculous amazing amounts of energy. I was going to push the boundaries of what ‘the normal’ people might think is okay or possible.
I decided that if I didn’t like someone, I wasn’t going to work with them. (Hurrah clients! You FREAKING ROCK!!) I decided that if I wouldn’t hang out with the OUTSIDE of work, then it wasn’t going to happen. I also decided if ‘it’ wasn’t fun, I wasn’t doing it. And that I was going to do it with an amazing Chanel handbag on my arm. That I was going to make more money in 2019 than I did in 2018. That I was going to INSPIRE and MOTIVATE more people than I had in 2018, in fact, than I ever have before.
I set the intention for all this, and upon reflection, there was only one thing really that was missing. Actually, two things. I’m not back at the $1M/year yet (I did set that as a target for 2019) HOWEVER I’m building on it. We’re getting there!!!! And 2) I didn’t have the bag yet.
I realised something in Perth on tour when we were having conversations such as this: I’d unconsciously bought into lack and limitation. I’d been SOLD hook line and sinker that “I’ll not own one this year. You haven’t hit your goal yet” … and I decided fuck it! THIS CAN’T BE.
So with a mouth full of spew, I bought one.
I talk all the time about expanding your thinking, your horizons and your money buckets. Doing things that make you uncomfortable and how the Universe rewards you TEN FOLD or more.
Within TWO DAYS of investing in my bag, I signed on new clients and made sales that was 16X THE VALUE OF THAT PURCHASE. SIXTEEN. TIMES. THE. VALUE. OF. THAT. PURCHASE.
Yes. You read that correctly. 16X.
When I invest in advertising, I expect at least a 10X ROI. When I invest with mentors, I expect a 10X ROI. Do you?
The intention that I set years and years and years ago is that I WILL receive TEN FOLD OR MORE what I put out there and what I invest in. I expect it. BUT I don’t invest in the things and the mentors and the programs with the NEEDY EXPECTANT ENERGY that tends to REPEL the receiving of the ten-foldsness-coming-back-at-you.
You need to set the intention and then almost forget about it. Until you’re pleasantly reminded that HEY! You just received 10X or more what you put out there, back to you! Go you good thing!!!
Think about it with launches. We take a leap of faith putting our stuff out there for sale. We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we go in expecting an ROI.
We show up. We market. We set the intention that the best and the right things will happen to us and for us. But we have to go out there WITHOUT THE NEEDY EXPECTATION that everything is going to come back ten fold instantaneously. Why not? Because it’s that energy that pushes your receiving the other way.
When we invest in ads, we don’t assume nothing will come out of them as a result. We expect an ROI.
My commitment to you guys with VISIBLE | LIVE (or any program of mine, actually) you’ll EASILY be able to get a 100X ROI on this if you implement.
Not in a day or probably not in a week. But you might. Over time, though, YES OH HELLLLLS YES YOU WILL!!! !
So honestly, what have YOU got to lose? I think you have everything to gain.
A tiny investment in your future that initiates the Law of Increase. This always happens when you invest in YOURSELF.
PS. You’re a-freaking-mazing!
VISIBLE | LIVE (Virtual) Only 9 sleeps till we start!!! #BOOM
PPS. Obvs I’m not advocating for everyone to go out and buy Chanel. What I AM advocating for is getting out of your comfort zone and realising that you are in fact worth of having ALL OF THE THINGS that YOU want.
You are worth it RIGHT NOW. Whatever it is that you feel should be yours, will be.
Do the things you need to.
Do the good in the world.
Show up.
Be brave.
EXPAND your experiences.
And EXPECT without neediness that YOU WILL ALWAYS receive 10X or more back to you.
Why?
Because you’re worth it.
And..
Because the WORLD IS READY FOR YOUR BRAND OF AWESOMENESS, GF!
Now. GO GETTUM!
