In This Episode, We Cover:
The people you see on the front of Forbes, the entrepreneurs who scale, they build a company, they get themselves out of the day-to-day and then go build another company
Look at who is already earning and doing what and where you want to be at and learn from studying their business model, because that 20% strategy looks different from 5K months to 10K months
That anything that you believe is possible, is possible, it's just your brain that decides what is and isn't so when expand the vision and the realm of possibility you can go blow your own mind today and tomorrow.
Key Takeaways:
It truly is 80% mindset, 20% strategy and who you want to be is far more important than the how. Don't psycho analyze the 37 step processes to do whatever, you just do it, because it's who you are. 
What you wear, is a subconscious identify trigger and can actually rewire your neuropathways in what you believe about yourself
When you think in terms of scalability and team what you're available for in your business, hours wise, what if you could double the work your business was doing, the capacity by hiring team (systems/ads etc.) and focus on scalability, you then 3x the capacity of your business. Just cause you only work 15-20 hours a week but what if your business was working for you 80 hours a week but you're only putting in 15-20 hours.
Quote of the Episode: “Know where you're headed, follow that track no matter what, ignore the evidence and results because you know you're relentlessly in pursuit of your vision and your goals and you move forward on them everyday and you tune out any doubt in your own or people around you then it can't not happen”

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that will help you stop questioning whether you belong in the room, own your insane, “delusional” dreams, and embrace the fact that not everyone will get it—and that’s a GOOD thing.

The Unfiltered Series: Creating Intention

Welcome to another episode of Grit to Glow! Today, we're diving into The Unfiltered Series. This series was inspired by some of the shifts I've made in the last week to open my doors to other moms in business for support.

What I realized is missing in the social media space is systems... not the posts, but the systems that come after the post.
You are only one person with a limited number of hours, and if you want to see success in the desired number of hours you have open to you, you need systems in place. You need intention.
