We perpetuate it as being the big boogeyman. Yeah. And I think anything that's hush-hush has, you know, and I do, I relate it to sex all the time. Like, we're all supposed to be really good at sex, but you're never allowed to talk about it, and you certainly don't learn about it, you know? So it's like this weird, mysterious, dirty thing. It really is. I mean, it's dirty. Money is dirty.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
You know, I don't want your dirty money. Like... You know what I mean? It's dirty until you don't make it dirty.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Exactly. You change it. Exactly. So just by like airing it out and talking about it and being joyful about it and talking about what you do with it joyfully and sharing it and making it and being happy that you made it and not, you know, it's so not a big deal. And it's like, We all need it. You know, it's so funny.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
I always think like, you know, if I told the average person, like, I'm going to give you 10,000 bucks, I'd be like, sweet. And then, you know, but talking about like, how do you feel about rich people? How do you feel about people who make tons and tons of money?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And the disparity, you know, the difference between that, like you want it, but there's still dirtiness around it, which is why I put in two of my books to write that letter to money, because it's a really interesting exercise.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Yeah. You just write a letter to money as if it's a person almost. So it's like, I love you. I wish I had more of you, but I don't trust you. And I feel like a dirty for even saying that. And, you know, all so all the all the things and then you can see what you got going on.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Absolutely. It's energy. Money is currency and currency is energy. Like I had to hear it like 6,000 times before I really got that money is energy. It's a frequency. So when you raise your frequency and get into alignment with it, and that whole alignment thing is all about none of the limiting beliefs, just being in surrender. and in alignment and having it flow in.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
So at the beginning, you asked me what my words were. So at first it was, I can't afford it. And then I eventually went to money flows to me easily and freely. And this is still while I was living in the garage, still while I was so in debt. but I had started doing all the energy work around it. And I was like, all right, what are my blocks?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Like when you write a new mantra, it's all about like really feel like the letter to money, like what just kept coming up and that I was stuck and that it was hard and that I didn't know what I was doing. So there was like hard and stuck and confusion. So flowing easily and freely was just like, Yeah, even though I did not believe it at first, like it wasn't about believing it.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
It was about the feeling because we are emotional creatures and, you know, that emotion, the frequency of emotions was, you know, the flowing, the easily and freely flowing was really, really powerful for me.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Okay. I'm just going to say if you are not successful at what you want to be successful for and you're feeling stuck, you're already lying to yourself because you're buying into the identity that is not successful. in the flow. So that's the lie. So money flowing to me easily and freely because I live in an abundant universe and I'm a creature who receives, that is the truth.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
So even though the identity that I'm in is not believing it yet, It doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm feeling it. So I always tell people, like, you don't have to believe it at first, like, but you have to feel it. So that's why what the words make you feel like are the most important part about it. So ease and free and flow was the most important part of that.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
You know, I think it was, there really wasn't like, I didn't almost get hit by a bus or, you know, I just, I, first of all, it's so boring being broke. Like you can't do anything, right? Really, you can't do anything. So, yeah. And I think it was just sort of a, it's almost like I ripened, you know, it's almost like how many times do you hear something before it's the aha moment?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
You know, why does that suddenly happen? I think you just finally are in a place where you can hear it for some reason. So I had started reading the self-help books and I was really into it. And, you know, I made a bunch of happy moments.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
attempts at like getting my act together but i think it was just i think i just ripened and then i i made the decision like i think really living in and and it was like a one car garage like it was small and i think after a little while of that i was like i'm sick and tired of this on i am 42 years old, you know, I can do better than this. Right, right.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And so I think I was just so sick of myself.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Definitely. And I will say, though, is I've had clients pay me lots of money and not do a damn thing. So it's not a guarantee. So that is part of it for sure, because I've also given like free coaching sessions to my friends. And it's like the biggest waste of all of our time. Right. But so I do think that the exchange of money is very, very real.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
But I think more importantly, your attitude and the decision. It's deciding. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Absolutely. And I've been given things for free, especially at that time in my life. Anything I could get my hands on, I was straight A student. So the money did have something to do with it, but I was ready. But you were also committed for free, pay, whatever. I was so ready. No, I was- You were all in. Oh my God, yeah.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Yeah. And so I do think it was that sort of, it's sort of like the water hitting the rock and then it's the Grand Canyon, you know, like reading the self-help books. Like I did, I had started that a couple of years before the garage. So I was sort of priming myself. And then finally I was just like, I'll do anything. What was the book that really inspired you the most?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Waddles. I mean, not only because it's like this big, cause I'm super impatient, but I mean, it's super cryptic. It's like, it's all about the universe being a thinking stuff. And when you impress your thoughts into the thinking stuff, it becomes real and material world. And I just, I just, it really, really, really spoke to me.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Oh, I'm so happy you asked because I'm... talk about this line all the time is to think what you want to think is to think the truth, regardless of appearances. So this is everything, right? So mindset is everything. So regardless of appearances, regardless of the fact that I'm living in a garage in an alley, driving a car with no grill, like those are the appearances, but to think what you want.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And I think the want is so key too, because that's your, that's your authenticity. That's not like thinking what other people think you should do and how you should live your life to think what you want. the purpose that you were put on planet Earth to live out, that's the truth. That is the truth. So your desires are the truth, not what's physically around you.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
I think you always come back to, is it fun? Does it give me energy or deplete my energy? And does it have meaning? Those are the three things that I'm really living my life by these days. And I think that if you're in alignment with those three things and other things, certainly, but those are sort of my big three.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I was a freelance writer hustling my butt off. And then like when I really did the math, I was like, the amount of time I spent hustling for this gig and they don't pay that well, like magazine articles, come on. I was making like, I was probably losing money, quite frankly. So, yeah, no, there was none of that. It was not fun. It was exhausting.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
It had some meaning, but you got to get all three, you know? Yeah.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Can I get one? And is it leading in the direction of something that is fun, that is going to give me energy and has meaning? Because you're right. Like when you're building a company or when you're doing something like it is exhausting. And but if it's still exciting and fun and has meaning, then yeah. Yeah. It doesn't get to be a picnic all the time.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
No, I will tell you. No, I actually did. And I did put it in. You are a badass. I put it in one of them. It was when I, I had, Oh my God, it was such a cool moment. So because money is currency and currency is energy, right? So we're really going to get woo woo with the money, like really shifting the mindset around money. And I, and bring me back to my story.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
If I go off on a tangent, cause I'm about to go on off on a tangent. I want to, but I, um,
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Yes, money is currency, currency is energy. And I've had so many clients that have told me, and it's happened to me too, where they manifest when they get into the meditation and they start to raise their frequency and they focus on the amount, the exact amount comes in from outer space that you didn't even think of. And so my story is around that where
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
I was working with my coach and we were really going to shift my money reality. And so she's like, you know, what amount of money would be really great for you to make right now? Like what would have a lot of meaning? And I was like, $10,000 because I'm $10,000 in debt on my credit card. And I hate being in debt. She's like, perfect. And so she's like, okay, so how soon are you going to make it?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And she goes, you know, like about a week, two weeks. Cause I, you know, and I was at the time making like 30 grand a year. And I was like, my God, if I made 10,000 in a week, that'd be incredible. And I was like, but you know what? I got to do it in two days. Cause I know myself and I won't keep myself in that frequency. Like I'll lose steam.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And I'll decide that like, yeah, it's not, I can't do it or whatever. Like I knew that the stuff would start creeping back in. So I was like, all right, 10 grand in two days. She's like, great. Okay. So how are you going to do it? And at the time I had this little online coaching business that I had just started coaching writers.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And I said, I'll get three private clients, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So then we're, you know, putting all the pieces in place. And then she's like, okay. And is there anything else? And I was like, well, you know, there was this guy that I was coaching years ago. He was my first private client. I was charging him like 50 bucks an hour.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And I was like, I could also call him and see if he wants to work with me again. And she's like, OK, great. And we're still on the phone. And I check my email and he has written me. I have not thought of this matter communicated with him in years. Email. He's like. you know, are you still coaching? Can you help me? When can we start?
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And so she's like, okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to put together a $10,000 package for him and you're going to sell it to him right now. I know. And I was like, I was charging him 50 bucks an hour. I was, and I really adore him. He's such a special person. And I was like, felt like, you know, a greedy pig, blah, blah, blah, all the things, fraud complex, gigantic,
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Oh, beyond, beyond. And so she's like, and what we'll do is we'll put together a $15,000 package and a 10 so that the 10 looks cheap. And I was like, I can't do 15. She's like, all right, 12. Pain in my ass. So did a 12, sent it to him and literally wanted to throw up. I was just like, if he... Because I really cared about this guy. He bought the 12. Holy cow. I know. I...
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
I worked with him for five years after that. Exactly.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
My coach helped me put it all together, but then I had to rise to that frequency. And I'll tell you, you know, when you're charging something that scares the out of you, you show up with your A plus game. Like, and he did too. Like it was a lot for him too. We knocked it out of the park.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Oh, interesting. Because sometimes people get an opportunity.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Very common. Very common. I did not, but only because I continued to get coaching. And I got bigger and bigger and bigger packages. I mean, I was paying six figures by the end.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
So I just, because I knew myself, I was like, I am rickety in this whole sort of wealth consciousness department. So I knew that I had, it's like getting a personal trainer, right? So I just kept investing in the coaching and now I'm good, but I do still have to work at it. I mean,
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Exactly. There's always more growth to be had.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
If I want, if I could decide what I want the next thing to be yet, I'm still in that sort of incubation period of like, what would be fun? Give me energy and have meaning. I'm getting there. Like, I definitely feel like I'm getting there and I'm doing a lot of things that meet those requirements in the meantime, but it's not the big.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
That I don't know what to do with it when I make it. Like I'm good at making it. My bookkeeper called me one day and she's like, would you please just open a savings account at your bank? Because I had like a million dollars in my checking account. This was a while ago. I finally got my, so I've hired financial plan.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Like I've hired people who, grownups who know what they're doing with money, but like I'm teaching myself about it, but I find it boring. I find investing boring and confusing and out of my league. So luckily there are amazing people who know what they're doing. So I have finally gotten that team together.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
And there is a little tiny part of me, if I gave it any attention, that is a little scared it's all going to go away.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Yeah. But I don't, I'm not, it's not that bad. And I probably should not even speak it out loud.
The School of Greatness
The Practical Guide To Making More Money in 2025
Right. Yeah, okay. We'll take that version.
