Chapter 3: Who is the right mentor to accelerate your success?
Like her whole idea, and again, I'm gonna get into the detail on the show on that episode so you'll hear it, but I'm prepping you for it now so you can start getting in the mindset. Cause I wanna set you up for success so bad. Her whole concept is like, we all know what a vision board is, right?
Like putting the spouse that you want on there, the book deal that you want, the millions of dollars that you want, the home that you want, the child that you want, whatever it is, right? Like all the things you want, you desire your vision for your future. You map it out, you put pictures against it, you visualize it, but her ideas go even further. Make it part of your home.
So for example, she says like, don't put pictures of yourself alone in your home. That's sending the message subliminally that you're alone. If you wanna be in a relationship, put pictures with you and people you love in it so that you are always seeing, I'm always surrounded by love. I'm always surrounded by people who love me, right?
Like share the message and the vision board, not on just the vision board, but everywhere in your home. So declutter the table, declutter the desk, declutter the bedroom, and have pictures of two hearts together. Have pictures of you and your best friends hugging together.
Have pictures of you on amazing trips that are super expensive that you know you need to be making millions of dollars to go on again. That's all sending this message that you're succeeding, that things are going well. Start living out your vision board in your home. And that can be done through the colors that you choose. That can be done through plants.
Oh, here is another great one that she shared with me. Get rid of all fake plants. Fake plants stagnate energy and stop flow. So I chucked, I had these beautiful fake plants, got rid of them, put real ones in, like bring things to life, bring energy into your home and create movement and energy. I have a fountain now in my house. It's very small. It's cute, so cute.
But like it shows that water is always moving, like money is always moving into my life, like energy is always moving, positive things, miracles are always coming to my life. It's all about setting your home up to literally like be a vortex for good for you. So I'm so hyped for you to hear this episode. I can't wait.
And ironically, the same day I interviewed Marie, which is so crazy, I interviewed Michael Beckwith. He was in the movie The Secret with her. And I say, ironically, no, it's serendipitous. It's a miracle, right? Like these are people who I've watched that movie a million times and think it's incredible. And now here they are coming on the show, right? Same day too, which is so wild. I don't know.
To me, that's like gets my attention. There's miracles happening all over. Anyhow, when I was on with Michael, such an incredible spiritual individual, amazing energy, like so vibing high, like he's all about getting your vibration to the next level to attract the right things into your life and the right people. It's so much good. Yeah. But he also shares, right?

Chapter 4: What mindset shift helps you persist through slow results?
When they engage on the feed, it helps the feed. It helps the post. It helps me reach more people. Thank you, haters. Like, start looking at it as, I don't want to be like everybody else. I'm different. I'm unique. I'm me. In the category, one of one. And so are you, my friend.
