On All-In Energy: What Does It Really Mean?

“All-in energy” is about much more than just effort—it’s a state of mind, belief, and commitment that permeates everything you do. It’s not necessarily about sprinting at 100% all the time (because let’s be real, that’s not sustainable). Instead, it’s about having a deep, unwavering decision that you are in—mentally, emotionally, and energetically—no matter what pace you’re moving at.

Think of it like a race.

When you’re all in during a race, you’ve already trained, prepared, and made the decision to participate. There are moments when you’re pacing yourself, moving slower, and conserving energy. And then there are moments where you’re sprinting, giving it your all. But throughout the race, you’re fully present and committed. You’re not thinking, “Maybe I’ll stop halfway,” or “I’ll see how it goes and quit if it gets hard.”

The same goes for your goals. Being all in means:

• You’ve trained your mindset by building belief in what’s possible.
• You’ve made a decision that this goal is happening, and you’re not entertaining other options.
• You’re showing up, taking action, and moving forward—whether at full speed or at a slower, more deliberate pace.

What Does “Not All-In” Look Like?

Most people set a goal, like starting a business, but spend the majority of their time in doubt. They’re second-guessing themselves, wondering if they’re good enough, and stopping and starting. Their actions are sporadic. One day they’re making plans, the next they’re questioning if they should even bother.

When you’re not all in, there’s a constant wavering energy:

• “Is this even possible for me?”
• “Should I really be doing this?”
• “Maybe I’ll just test it and see if it works.”

That energy doesn’t inspire results because it’s not fully aligned with belief and commitment.

How Do You Know If You’re All In?

The simplest way to gauge this is to ask yourself:
“If I were all in on this vision, believed it was possible for me, and was moving forward full-speed ahead, how would that look? How would I be showing up differently from how I’m showing up now?”

For some, that might mean purchasing a domain name. For others, it could mean hiring a coach, enrolling in a program, or finally launching the offer they’ve been sitting on.

Here’s the key: It’s not about how big the step is—it’s about the energy behind it. Are you moving forward with certainty and trust?

Why It’s Called All-In Energy

“All in” doesn’t mean you’re hustling 24/7 or that every moment is jam-packed with action. It’s about deciding that this is happening. The word decide literally means “to cut off.” When you go all in, you’re cutting off any other option:

• No backup plans.
• No half-hearted “testing the waters.”
• No wavering on whether or not it’s possible for you.

When you’re all in, you’re moving with clarity and intention. And that energy? It’s magnetic. Opportunities, ideas, and solutions start to align with you because you’ve committed fully.

An Example of Dabbling vs. Deciding

I remember talking to a friend who said, “I’m just going to test this thing and see if it works.” Her energy was hesitant, and she was already half-expecting it to fail. Contrast that with someone who has decided—who’s mentally and emotionally invested, saying, “This is what I’m doing, no matter what.” You can feel the difference, right?

When you’re all in, you’re not sitting on the sidelines, waiting to see if things magically work out. You’re in the game, showing up, taking action, and trusting that your efforts will lead to results—even if you don’t know exactly how it’ll unfold.

What’s Next for You?

If you’re wondering how to cultivate all-in energy for your own goals, start by asking yourself these questions:

1. What would it look like to go all in?
2. What’s one action I can take today that aligns with the version of me who’s already achieved this goal?
3. What doubts, fears, or backup plans do I need to release to fully commit?

Because here’s the truth: dabbling won’t get you where you want to go. Deciding will.

And I know you have it in you to go all in—because the fact that you’re here, asking these questions, tells me that you’re ready for more.

With love,
