Key Lessons for Creative Business Growth
- Embrace Your Hummingbird Moments: Sometimes the universe sends us clear signs that we're on the right path. I share a powerful personal story about how a simple request for a sign transformed into multiple confirmations that I was moving in the right direction with my business evolution.
- Make Your Mindfulness Routine Non-Negotiable: Your morning routine sets the tone for everything else. I reveal my six-step journaling practice that's been crucial for maintaining focus and calling in bigger opportunities. This isn't just about meditation – it's about creating a success mindset that attracts abundance.
- The Compliments-Abundance Connection: Julie Solomon shared a game-changing insight – your relationship with receiving compliments directly correlates with how you receive abundance in your life. I break down why this matters for your business growth and how to shift your receiver dial.
