Speaker 1:

Okay, I got to be honest with you. I'm recording this on the snow day that we had in Texas, which was so, it's been so fun, but it's also quickly turned into cabin fever. Oh, dear Lord, I've been loving it. It's like fun, like a switch up. The boys love it, but I don't have like snow gear. We've never taken the boys to the snow and we don't have like gear like face covers, like actual water repelling clothes, like other than a rain jacket. I do have like a snow jacket for them, but not pants, and I don't even have the right shoes. They've got rain boots or like their little, like Uggs. I'm like, okay, this is difficult. So they're so excited to go outside. We go outside and in like a nanosecond their cheeks are freezing, their noses are running, decker hates it and Slate's like I love this, but I'm cold. So then we go inside and all they want to do is go outside, but we can't because all their stuff is soaked from trying to build a snowman and they don't even have gloves to hold the snow. It's just. Are you hearing the shit show in my voice? That has been today. And then, like they're going crazy, like feral inside here. I'm like what gives? Oh, and as if things couldn't get more like anxious, like like my nervous system is all over the place because the kids are acting like feral psychos is.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, oh, here's an idea. Here's an idea. Let me get some food coloring and we can color snowballs. They ate that shit up. But guess what? Yo girl over here had no idea. Some food coloring and we can color snowballs. They ate that shit up. But guess what? Yo girl over here had no idea that food coloring stains things, including concrete. That's actually the biggest thing. So our brand new patio that came with our new house is stained and my husband not very happy about that one. So, don't worry, I literally have some baking soda paste sitting on that out there on the patio hoping that shit works because it's ugly. It's ugly, but actually in how I showed up in my life and I do show up in my life, starting from the second I wake up.

Speaker 1:

So here's the question that shifted it all what would it feel like to wake up every day feeling like a million bucks? How would I feel? How would a million dollars feel? That is the question. Basically, it's like you know, the same thing worded differently. This is not about thinking about a million dollars, not chasing a million dollars, but actually feeling like the version of me who already had it all the freedom, success, ease and overflow. And let me tell you, when I finally leaned into this idea, literally everything changed. But obviously before this there was a version of me who never even thought about asking myself this question.

Speaker 1:

So let's take you back to that little version of me that didn't feel like a million bucks and honestly woke up all the time, stressed, and maybe you can relate to that. But I was hustling my little booty off. Like I'm talking, really hustling, pushing myself to the edge to get more clients, focusing on trends for more visibility, trying to get the turn and burn sales hit bigger goals, brag about it, prove to myself and everyone else that I was worthy of success. Like blah blah blah, blah, blah blah Sound familiar but, honestly, for me that felt incredibly heavy and that's when my business actually took off, when I decided to give up that path, give up that way of doing things off. When I decided to give up that path, give up that way of doing things when I was hustling.

Speaker 1:

Every morning I literally woke up thinking about work, thinking about money. I was stressed. Before my feet even hit the floor, hand to God, my to-do list felt endless. I felt like I had no time. I felt like I was just running around, rushing through everything on a hamster wheel, going nowhere fast.

Speaker 1:

And the worst part is, this is how I thought this was supposed to be. This is what I thought building a business and and trying to you know, retire your husband. I just thought this was like run of the mill. This is how this works, while also trying to keep my sanity from watching people on social media who were like blowing it up right and and I'm always telling my clients blinders up, girl, you're in your path. So I was always been good at that, but I was just like I just have to do more in order to get there.

Speaker 1:

But one day finally happened and this was in lovely July where something shifted. And I remember sitting there staring at my endless to do list, my endless tasks, feeling completely drained and burnt the fuck out, and I thought this is bullshit. Like this cannot be it. This can't be what success feels like. This is not sustainable.

Speaker 1:

And so I asked myself a different question at that point, when I surrendered. I'm like what would it feel like to actually just enjoy life? What would it feel like to enjoy my business? What would it feel like to understand and know that my business is I'm building it now, but I'm always going to be building it? Like what is this runway where all of a sudden, something's going to take off? And I'm going to kick my feet up, like, what reality is that? So how would it feel to wake up every day feeling on top of the world, to feel like a million bucks? And those questions changed everything. Everything, I realized. I've been chasing the outcome, the clients, the visibility, the money, the milestones, the bank account statements. But I hadn't been being the version of me who already had it, who was on the chill express train, chill rocket ship, going to her goals, but in the chill way, enjoying every step.

Speaker 1:

So I decided to experiment. I stopped focusing so much on what I needed to do and I started focusing on how I wanted to feel. This is when I took up shuffling, planting plants, more walks, focusing on where my feet are. Like have my brain be where my feet are? I started asking myself what makes me feel magnetic and unstoppable, what makes me feel alive, what makes me? What lights me up and makes me excited about showing up in my business? What would the million dollar me do this morning? How would her mornings look like? And you know what happened, girl. In two weeks I tripled my income. In three months, my business 7X'd. I worked less than I ever had before. I felt free, finally, and I felt aligned, unstoppable, and I finally felt like I was living life.

Speaker 1:

As cheesy as that sounds, then, the craziest part is the results didn't come from me hustling harder. I literally did the opposite. Like go back to my podcast in July and August, like I literally kicked my feet up. I'm like fuck this shit, I'm done. And the results came because I showed up as the version of me who was chilled out, the version of me who felt like a million dollars. When you start to feel and get really familiar with the million dollar version of you, money and everything it gets like magnetized towards you, like you can't make this shit up. I literally it's the funnest work that I get to do with clients because I'm like, yes, all you get to do is focus on your joy.

Speaker 1:

We're going to back into your dream scenario. Your dream success, your dream income was starting with your dream day. We're going to back into your dream scenario. Your dream success, your dream income was starting with your dream day. We're going to do all these things and that's how it's going to happen and like there's a lot of resistance, there's a lot of wanting to talk me out of it, and I'm like, girlfriend, I got you and then boom, I implement the overflow strategy while she's working on her million dollar self and their business just skyrockets 40% in less than 90 days. This stuff is normal in my world because it's called chill out and watch your business multiply.

Speaker 1:

Now I want you to think about your own success in your own life, in your own business. Are you hustling towards success, thinking it's something you'll feel once you quote get there? Are you getting caught up in that feeling, like I was, or are you willing to step into that energy of it right now and train yourself that this is the way to the life that you want? Because our ego and our conscious brain wants to talk us out of it because it's going to laugh at you. It's gonna be like, yeah, you doing less work is going to work. Yeah, right, katie, nice, try, get back to work. Oh, now you're behind. Now you're falling behind even further. Why don't you go on social media and check things out? See, she's beating you, she's winning, she's winning. You see that no one wants that.

Speaker 1:

The truth is the version of you who has it all the freedom, the ease, the abundance. She exists. You know this. She exists. How? Also the desires, even in your head. How also did the Instagram algorithm place that in front of you for your desires to be born? It's because it's meant for you and it's because it's already existing on a different timeline. That's like woo-woo stuff that I don't normally talk about, even though I do talk about woo things, but you can look it up. It's literally quantum physics. You just have to connect with that version of you.

Speaker 1:

Because let me tell you, the version of you who's rolling in it ain't on fucking Instagram 24-7. I say that with love, but she ain't. She's not in her email. She's probably got a team of people working for her at least a VA and she's probably never checking anything because she doesn't care. She's cool, she's chilled out, she is fulfilled, she's sustained. Now, obviously, take what I just said with a grain of salt. She has her pulse, she has the pulse of things, but she's not checking and actively doing things Like I. Just the whole Instagram thing it is such a love hate. Like I'll be honest with you, I love it so much where I get to have a little like corner of the internet where my people find me and I find my people, to have a little like corner of the internet where my people find me and I find my people, but like to think, to be on that thing every day for the rest of my life literally makes me wanna poke my eyes out and that's why it's like I don't know. I don't know because I have a lot to say and I clearly like to talk.

Speaker 1:

Okay, let's move into action steps to how you can start feeling like a million bucks today. So if you're wondering how to do this, let me share some simple things that helped me make this shift. I started my day with actual intention. So when you wake up, don't go straight to your to-do list. Don't go straight to sucking down some coffee. I've said this before. Instead, ask yourself what would make me feel amazing today. Of course your coffee is, but can you get some electrolytes in you beforehand? Maybe sip on some greens beforehand? What would the higher version of you be doing? The million dollar version of you? I bet she'd have a greens juice delivered to her as she woke up. Well, how can you meet that halfway? How can you start drinking greens? This is just an obviously off the cuff example.

Speaker 1:

I do drink greens every morning. I also drink electrolytes every morning, so I decided to make my morning completely feel elevated. I romanticize my mornings and I stopped talking myself out of it because I could die tomorrow. So I want to have today be a memorable morning, and I am so obsessed with my mornings it's unreal, and my morning routine actually just expands and expands and it continues to grow as I grow and evolve and I get up earlier and I do more things for myself and I move my body now and everything is lined up. It's literally my favorite. It's so funny because my husband laughs. He's like you were never a morning person. I'm like, yeah, well, I've evolved. Okay, okay, no, it's a joke, okay.

Speaker 1:

Number two how can you celebrate what's already working? So, instead of focusing on what's done, what if you took a moment to recognize everything you've accomplished? You know the importance of gratitude, and gratitude shifts your energy, so why not tap into that? Number three do one thing that makes you feel rich. Now let me clarify. That's not spending any money. Not at all, not at all. Maybe you feeling rich is wearing your favorite outfit, is wearing some lipstick, is curling your hair, is throwing on the mascara, it's having a slow morning with coffee, maybe having your coffee outside, maybe going on a walk before you have coffee, or after or with your coffee, or maybe it's journaling. There are so many things that you can do to make yourself feel rich without actually costing you anything. And the last one is anchor into your energy before taking action.

Speaker 1:

Every single client of mine, whether you've worked with me one-on-one or not. I talked about this in the Wealth Code Academy. I always touch on your energy before taking. Action is everything. Intention in what you do literally is everything. So, before tackling a big task, take a moment to visualize the results that you want and feel the excitement of it already being done, and then go into that task. That will change literally everything. I should like end the episode here, but I ain't. But I'm telling you, when I stopped chasing and I started aligning, everything changed just by those simple four action steps I just shared with you.

Speaker 1:

I used to think that I had to earn the right to feel good. I used to think that I had to wait until a certain time or something where things were going to take off. I had to wait until I hit six figures or seven or whatever the next goal was. But the truth, the better I felt, the more the results flowed in. Like it doesn't make sense, but that's how it works. I finally figured out my own playbook, like I've talked about, and I want you to have the same thing. I want the same for you.

Speaker 1:

So let's wrap this up with a fun little challenge. What's one thing you can do today to feel like a million bucks. It could be anything. Maybe it's dressing up, maybe it's slowing down, or maybe it's just giving yourself permission to step away from the hustle for a moment. Whatever it is, just do it, do it. Do it, do it. You owe yourself that break, and if this message is resonating with you, I want to hear about it, because this is just the beginning.
