One of the biggest lessons I've learned about building a sustainable business: consistency and simplicity matter, especially when things get difficult.
Children don't need to understand the details to absorb the emotional climate they're raised in.
My mind didn't know what was happening but my body did.
Long before I earned my own income, my nervous system had already learned that money was unpredictable, it could disappear and it wasn't something you could truly relax around….
I need the industry to stop pushing this idea of working 16 hour days building businesses, because “if you truly wanted it, you would work even harder.”
I bought into this belief and my nervous system went bezerk because it didn't feel safe. My depression worsened and all I wanted was to take my life 80% of the time.
I went to vipassana when I was on the brink of taking my life. The only reason I didn't was because I went to an elderly tarot card reader, by the name of Raymond, at the Tremont Tea Room (in Boston, MA), who told me to hold on because in March (of 2011) I would go to a retreat that would change my life.
I LOVE how soo many of my clients talk about me giving non-conventional financial advise and how their lives wildly change from that.
There's this insidious belief that people misuse money because they didn't go to school and only people with no university degrees are in debt.
Or that people are poor because they are lazy.
