You Are a Badass.

I think it sold like, I don't know, five or 10 million copies.

And she's done a lot of the deep spiritual work, but she was a writer in her early 40s, like living in a garage, you know, paying like 500 bucks a month or something in LA, like being the broke artist vibe, not a sellout.

I'm going to be like the creative artist.

I'm going to make art.

I'm going to write and I'm going to charge minimum because I'm not going to sell out.

And she talked about how

She was sick and tired of being broke and having this limiting like artist lifestyle.

And she ended up hiring a coach that changed her life forever.

This wasn't like the best coach in the world who is like a multimillionaire, but she hired a coach that knew more than her and had more courage to charge more.

And she spent like, I can't remember, like a thousand bucks a month on this coach.

But it was like all of her money, it felt like.

It was so uncomfortable to invest in this coach.

And this coach pushed her to charge more for her writing and to go write the book that she really wanted to write.

And then she wrote You Are a Badass.

And it made her financially free for the rest of her life.

She was like, if I didn't have the courage to invest, I wouldn't have then said, I need to figure out how to make this money back.

So it was that kind of stretching myself to invest in something, knowledge, a person, a mastermind, coaching, to then say, okay, I need to now expand myself to go be able to generate more.

You did that when you got this house.

You stretched yourself financially to create a sanctuary, and you expanded your ability to create abundance.
