Monday Motivation - My business provides immense value and my ideal clients are coming.


Happy Monday Reader!

Ever struggle with a client from hell?

Or maybe a partnership you regretted after a few meetings?

When we are in a scarcity mindset we are tempted to accept any and all clients or opportunities that come our way. Who cares if they're the right fit as long as we get some money coming in, right?

Wrong.

We've all heard or personally experienced horror stories of nightmare clients. The ones you dread seeing in your inbox. The ones who need extra accommodations, want you to work off the clock or beyond the scope of work, and then pay every invoice late (if at all).

To move into abundance mindset in our business, we have to break free of those nightmare clients, because they're sucking up precious time and energy.

This week's affirmation reminds us we provide valuable services to our clients and that we don't need to put up with anyone who treats us like crap:

"My business provides immense value and my ideal clients are coming."

I also highly recommend picturing an ideal current or past client after saying this affirmation, to really hone in on what you're looking for. If no one comes immediately to mind, ask yourself:

Who was fun & easy to work with before?

Who paid promptly and thought your prices were a steal for the level of service you provided?

Let's invite more of that type of business into our lives!

I'm confident you provide amazing value, that you care about your clients, and go above and beyond. Otherwise, you wouldn't be struggling to fit it all in! Phoning it in doesn't take nearly as much time or energy as working hard with care does.

So give yourself that reminder this week and join me in repeating 21x every day:

"My business provides immense value and my ideal clients are coming."

Get Hard Data On Where You Spend Your Work Hours

Have you heard of a "time audit"? It's a super handy tool to figure out how you're spending your time! It will give you hard data instead of wishy-washy suspicions on what your biggest time wasters are.

Sound necessary to you too?? Grab your free copy of my brand new time audit worksheet + instructions!


As always, affirmations work best when you truly believe them. They need to resonate with you and feel achievable. So feel free to modify any I suggest, or develop entirely new ones!

Say them as long as you want. I'm sharing a new affirmation each week, but that doesn't mean you have to switch it up each week unless it feels right. You can add new ones as often as you want and have as many as you want. You can say a different affirmation every day, or at different times of the day. You choose!

I'd love to hear the impact it has! (But if you decide affirmations are not for you, click here to be removed from this weekly email.)

I hope this affirmation sets you up for a kick ass week and I'll see you next Monday for a new one to try!

Happy Monday Reader! I believe in giving everyone and every experience the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to try pretty much any food or activity once to see how it goes, so why wouldn't I do the same for people? And like my favorite rule of thumb about when something's a problem ("Once is an accident, twice is a trend, and 3 times is a pattern.") I will always, always, give something a second chance. But once a pattern starts to show up, or once someone has treated me or my loved ones...

Happy Monday Reader! I'm proud to share that I followed through on last week's plan to show my face more in my marketing content! Batching content is a great way to be more efficient as a business owner, so I used that strategy to record & create a half dozen videos last week, which I can now use for a wide range of content! I set aside a chunk of time to record videos, made notes on topics and key points I wanted to mention, and even planned costume changes. I fixed my hair and put on some...

Happy Monday Reader! We interrupt this regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you an important request. I could really use your help to grow my business! You've been here a while, so you know I'm passionate about helping people understand themselves, value themselves & their time, and protect their time. I'm happy to talk about this stuff all the time, for free. But unfortunately, we live under capitalism and I have to keep my freeloader cat in treats and kibbles. And that's NOT free! Said...
