I want to have a bit of a chat about less being not more. It's AGAINST what everyone thinks about. What if you're like me and wanting to expand more, to be multi-passionate, to DO MORE? What if your messages means expressing it in multiple ways?

What I'm realising lately is that something's missing. I worked out, I worked on the projects for my business, I wrote more of my book – and it was only 4pm. I was by the pool, and thought: my social life is missing. I'm in Bali right now, so most of my friends are stuck out of Bali with this ash cloud. I thought... when was the last time I had something random, exciting, terrifying and NEW to work on?

Back when I was a personal trainer, I used to have idea storming meetings, or CREATION MEETINGS with friends – let's create a chocolate company! let's open a gym! – and even though most of the ideas didn't come to fruition, the purpose was unleashing the energy of being CREATIVE and DARING.

Most people say relax, and slow down – I say stand the FUCK UP and DO MORE! To me, why would I live a life where I would just relax – if I could live a life that excites me?

• Do something new – something that brings you joy
• Listen to your heart, follow the sense of joy
• Why not do something that's fun?
• Do you want extra, free time – or do you want to do more exciting, fun things?

EXERCISE:

Write down the last time you did something just for the fun of it. When was it? Days ago? Weeks, years ago? What was it?

Write down – BRAINSTORM if you have to – something you could do for fun, something that will enlighten you. Write down the next 3 steps you MUST take today to start.

Some people feel that this is the most ANNOYING thing I can do – but it is the BEST stress reliever… in business when something falls through, when your reputation feels threatened, in travel when you think you’re going to miss a flight, when stuff happens in your personal life (your kids break something), or just in general, when shit happens, I say to myself:

“It is what it is. I can’t do anything about it.”

And it drives my husband CRAZY.

A week ago, my husband and kids were supposed to leave Bali – but they didn’t. They missed the flight because of the ginormous ash cloud. And all I could think was “it is what it is.”

There’s no point me losing stressing over “what if.” “What if we miss the flight?” “What if the flight gets cancelled again?”

In business, when I start to feel “what ifs,” coming – I say to myself “it is what it is.”

In ANY entrepreneur’s toolbox, it’s a CRITICAL tool to have in your toolbox. See sometimes, shit just happens regardless. And if you can accept whatever happens – it is what it is – and if you’ve done everything in your control, then just surrender.

Surrender and move on.

I speak to a lot who hyperventilate through their entire life: “what happens if this happens, what happens if someone says this?”

Just SURRENDER. It is what it is. Sometimes shit happens that’s beyond our control.

A lot of this comes down to recognizing the difference between knowing where you should spend your time, versus situations that are out of your control, versus situations where you just need to MAKE A DECISION.

• If you can’t make decisions quickly and swiftly, you shouldn’t be in business.
• Move quickly, with focus
• Surrender, and let it all flow
• It is what it is
• You have the power to choose who are

EXERCISE:
Think about the latest thing you’ve gone “what if” about. Did that what if come true? Or was it just your mind creating a fear? What decision could you have made instead of convincing yourself “what if”?
 
Now, think about something you have to make a decision on today. Make the decision. Move on.

What if you JUST DID THIS?!

I’ve just had an AMAZING three day retreat with some of my amazing clients. What came up today was.. what if you just ASK for what you want?

We could save SO MUCH ENERGY in ALL areas of our life if we JUST asked for what we want! I love all the ins-and-outs of online marketing, it all makes a difference, but in some ways, it just COMPLICATES things in an unnecessary way.

Sometimes it’s a lot more effective if you just straight up tell people what you want them to do, and why they should do it! The countless time, money and energy you’d save is COUNTLESS!

Food for thought.
• Stop trying to place it sneaky.
• Just say the outcome you want, and what you’re willing to give in return
• Go through the discomfort of asking what you want
• Don’t feel selfish asking!


EXERCISE:
What is the last thing you wanted to ASK for, but you didn’t, because of how UNCOMFORTABLE it felt?

Right now, what’s ONE thing you want – and what can you do to ask for it? Write that down, and take action!
