Starting This Year with the Truth

Sticky Note Heart

Do you realize that your dreams can come true in this year? Do you believe that in 6 months, you can transform your life in terms of happiness, success, clarity, confidence etc.? Do you know that you can eradicate “I’d love to, but I can’t afford it” from your vocabulary forever? Are you aware that you can spend your days doing something you really love?

It’s possible. Just keep reading…

Growing up, I always knew I was meant for something big. I believed I was supposed to change the world in some form or another and live an incredible life while doing so.

Do you feel like that?

In addition to impacting the world in some ginormous way, I dreamt of owning two homes, traveling the world, having a monogramed set of Louis Vuitton luggage, working for myself, collaborating with Oprah, writing a book that would later be turned into a movie (i.e. Eat, Pray, Love) and of course having Prince William by my side as my doting husband. (Sidebar – I came pretty close with the incredible British husband thing!)

When I graduated from college, I was pretty far from that dream life as most 22-year-olds are.

During that time, I felt lost and completely unsure of literally everything in my life, and I was broke.

I wondered if I’d missed something? Had my dreams been too big? Was I not smart or talented enough to turn my goals into reality? Did I take the wrong path somewhere? Why hadn’t Oprah called? And what in the world was I supposed to do with my Psychology degree?

Needless to say, 2009 wasn’t the best year.

Finally, when I was sick of myself and my confusion, I decided to take action on behalf of my dreams by moving from Ohio to London, England.

I didn’t really know what I was doing, but I knew that I had to follow my heart and do something different to shake the funk I was in.

On August 2010, I arrived in the UK with 4 50-pound suitcases, no money or contacts, and some big goals.

I quickly began my new life by starting a MA in Non-Fiction Writing program, hired my own coach to try to get out of my quarter-life crisis, tried online dating for the first time, and began to believe in my dreams once again.

From that place of determination, drive, and openness, I discovered coaching.

A year later in August 2011, I enrolled in a coaching training program. Unfortunately, the program actually put me off of coaching for a good year because it was incredibly stuffy and not at all the type of coaching I really wanted to do. (Not many people know that.)

In fact, it wasn’t until I discovered other women leaders in the industry in early 2013 who were an example of the type of coach I always wanted to be that I decided to give coaching another chance.

That was when everything shifted.

I Heart My Life is a very young company and was born in September 2013 from my own desire to help other women achieve their dreams and live the life they’d always imagined for themselves.

From the moment I purchased that URL, my husband and I worked diligently to create my new website. All of this was foreign to us, but we were determined to get it up and running and did so without any outside help in March 2014 and the second version launched in June 2014.

I started working with my first group of clients in July 2014 and made a grand total of $442 that month.

(For those of you who cringe at the thought of talking about money, brace yourself because I’m going to be even more open and honest…)

It was then that I decided that I needed to make a change and that it was time to really do this. (After all, nothing was going to change unless I did.)

I knew that I needed to stop being that stubborn little girl with her arms folded across her chest and get the support I needed from those who had come before me.

This was literally the best decision I could have made.

The moment I hired my own high-level coach and got a support system, everything shifted and my life and biz finally started to look like what I’d always dreamed of .

I was soon able to quit my 9-5 job and make coaching my full-time work. And in 6 short months, I increased my sales dramatically.

To put it into perspective, I went from making $442 a month in July to $2k, $6k, $19k, and finally to $33,000 in sales in December 2014 alone.

That’s more than a 7000% increase in sales in less than 6 months.

And since then, there’s far to much to put into this simple blog post, I’ve 450x the initial investment I’d made in that first coach) and you better believe my clients are incredible and are getting massive results themselves…

So why am I sharing this very personal information with you and telling you all of my secrets?

(I promise, it has nothing to do with bragging.)

I’m sharing for the same reason that I’m always transparent with you: To inspire you to believe in your own dreams and the fact that anything is truly possible in a short amount of time. And to show you the power of investment. The quick power!

Although I’ve always had huge aspirations, even I have to admit that even I was impressed (but not surprised) by the quantum leaps that happened in my first 6 months of business.

I know that I’m never going back to the way I used to live (confused, in massive debt, living paycheck by paycheck, and not spending my days doing what I love).

Is that what you want too?

Do you want the freedom to live life on your terms? To be able to work from anywhere in the world? To spend your time helping incredible people? To no longer use the phrase “I’d love to, but I can’t afford it”?

It’s possible.

I’m just a girl from Ohio who had a dream. And I’m here to help make your dreams a reality too…

In 2014 alone, I invested over $40k in my own personal and business development with experts in the industry which clearly changed everything. I’m ready to share all of my knowledge with you. (In my first year in business.) Since then, I’ve invested over $500K. And it’s been worth every penny.

Trust me when I say, you can reach your goals and your dreams quickly. You can take huge leaps. You just have to get started.

So if something is holding you back from taking action, please move forward today. Take action on behalf of the life you were born to life.

You can get results quickly and redesign your life in 6 months – I’m living proof.

Invest in your dreams. Take it up a notch. Increase the fervor. Get a coach.

You’ve got this.
