โYour focus determines your reality.โโฃโฃ โฃโฃ Not gonna lie, last night the Sunday scaries started to creep in and I could feel my mind starting to spiral. โฃโฃ โฃโฃ It was a tough weekend for my family as we lost someone very close to us in a terrible Motorcycle accident. A unexpected loss like this stops you in your tracks and makes you think about how precious life is. One day your here and one day your not.โฃโฃ โฃโฃ As I was processing this loss late last night while kind of watching Star Wars on the TV in the background- the swirl of thoughts about my week, my to do list, up coming travel, and the series of deadlines I had all bleed together and I started to feel like I was mentally sinking in quicksand. ๐ณ โฃโฃ โฃโฃ Then a brilliant George Lucas line struck me like a lightning bolt, โYour Focus Determines Your Reality.โ (Iโm new to the #Starwars world so this line was a new one for me)โฃโฃ โฃโฃ It became clear in that moment, wow I am NOT focused on all the right things and gave myself a gentle reality slap:โฃโฃ โฃโฃ Perspective Flip:โฃโฃ -I am grateful for the memories made with whom we lost โฃโฃ -Iโm grateful for the air in my lungs โฃโฃ -Iโm grateful for my familyโs safety & health โฃโฃ -I am grateful for the projects I am working on โฃโฃ -I am grateful for the upcoming travel & opportunities ahead โฃโฃ -I am grateful to be busy with things that are fueling me vs those that drain meโฃโฃ โฃ -> What quicksand - Iโm flying not sinking!โฃ โฃโฃ We have the power within to reset and focus. Not always easy, but we do have the choice. โฃโฃWould you agree? ๐ญ . . . . #MondayMood #Mondaymotivation #ffomo #rainbowreality #desertdream #throwback๐ธ #podcasting #ladypreneur #speaker #dubai #movingforward #believeinyou #growth #millennialspeaker #millennialmindset

Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay safe. ๐ชโฃโฃ โฃโฃ Hmmm, change - sometimes scary, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes overdue, but always inevitable. โฃโฃ โฃโฃ Change is something I have been craving for what feels like tooo long and I am VERY excited (with a small dollop of fear) about all the change I am welcoming personally and professionally this year. โฃโฃ โฃโฃ If youโve known me for awhile you most likely think of me as the โMillennial Marketing Girl,โ which is totally ok and I absolutely love it. But, after 12 years of specializing in Millennial Marketing I am ready to step outside the Millennial box and color freely outside the lines of any limitation I put on myself and my business this year and for the future! โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐โฃโฃ โฃโฃ MOOD: โBRING ON THE CHANGE!โโฃโฃ โฃโฃ -I am ready to focus on the projects that my intuition is screaming for me to create and share. ๐โฃโฃ โฃโฃ -I am ready to tap into my passion for wellness, womenโs empowerment, adventure, personal growth and focus on the human behind the Entrepreneur with my clients in addition to marketing, branding, and strategy. ๐ฆโฃโฃ โฃโฃ -I am ready to be spontaneous and launch my new podcast, workshop, and mindset method that I hope every woman and female entrepreneur can relate to and benefit from. ๐นโฃโฃ โฃโฃ -I am ready to change my mindset of โI canโtโ when it comes to expanding my family while expanding my business to โOf course I can and it is going to be better than I could ever imagine.โโจโฃ โฃ -I am ready to sit in the driver's seat and not let fear make me question myself & my direction. ๐นโฃโฃ โฃโฃ Ohhh the change is here - can ya feel it?!?!โฃโฃ โฃโฃ Where are you welcoming change right now? โฃโฃ โฃ

Last week I felt something brewing. โฃ โฃ It was clear that my communication was off, the voices in my head were just so damn loud, I felt confused, not in control of my emotions, yet insanely stimulated creatively! โฃ โฃ And what do ya know...Mercury is in retrograde for the first time in this new decade.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃ โฃ In astrology, Mercury rules communication, technology, and travel, so when it retrogrades, donโt be shocked if these areas feel a little funky. Think exes in your DMs, social media platforms glitching, missing your flight, feeling creatively charged. (A little manic ๐)โฃ โฃ Now, I donโt plan on letting Mercury totally F*** up my flow, so now that I am aware that Mercury is in retrograde until March 10th I plan on cutting myself a little slack along with the rest of the World and not rushing the process. โฃ โฃ Mercury Retrograde says โLet Go!โ โ๏ธYou donโt control everything. - isnโt that a great reminder?๐๐ผโฃ โฃ Instead of jumping into something totally new this is a great time to relook or give more attention to something youโve already started in the realms of writing, speaking, teaching, and learning.โฃ โฃ Remember: Mercury Retrograde = Revision, Redefine, Reconsider, Reclaim. Reworking existing plans and projects fit with this energy perfectly. โฃ โฃ Instead of hop-scotching all over the place, do yourself a favor and close all those tabs on your computer, limit the social media scrolling, and focus on one task at a time. โฃ โฃ Can you relate? Do you tend to feel these things or not so much? โฃ๐ช๐โก๏ธ . . . . . . #mercuryinretrograde #energycleanse #globalspeaker #keynotespeakers #millennialexpert #millennials #putyoufirst #youareworthit #conferencespeaker #professionalgrowth #ladypreneur #womenwholead #mondayinspiration #bossbabetribe #bossbabelife#buildalifeyoulove #dreamersanddoers #dontquityourdaydream #createyourhappy #herestothecreatives #beingboss #hustlewithease #lovemybiz #thebossbabesociete #businesscoaches #personalbrandingcoach

Thereโs an emotional toll to entrepreneurship that many people donโt talk about. Many entrepreneurs struggle to create a proper work/life balance. โฃ โฃ Work/life balance isnโt that even funny...shouldnโt it be LIFE/WORK balance!!??โฃ โฃ Entrepreneurs are known to have a higher risk for mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and addiction because of the immense pressure of running, sustaining, and scaling a business. โฃ โฃ Iโll admit it, I feel cycles of superwoman strength and complete burnout as Iโm sure so many of you can relate. โฃ โฃ But, this year I pledge to take action for myself and my mental health just like how I show up every day and take action for my business.โฃ โฃ I am excited about the projects I have in development because they truly have an emphasis on both work and LIFE. (So much goodness to come...๐)โฃ โฃ We spend so much time focused on the need for Entrepreneurs to grind, hustle, and sleep when you die. โฃ โฃ NO NO - not anymore. There has to be a better balance - and there is a better balance. โฃ โฃ It just starts with prioritizing yourself first! โฃ โฃ Thank you for reading todayโs rant - it felt good to type it out.......!๐ญ . . . . . #iamenough #bekindtoyourmind #youareworthy #selfcompassion #mefirst #theeverygirldesk #shesgotskills #crushgoals #herbusiness #lovemybiz #personalbranding #motivationalspeakers #businesscoaching #millennialentrepreneur #selfcompassion #babessupportingbabes #babessupportingbabes #girlsinbusiness #ladystartup #thisgirlmeansbusiness #growthandmindset #sheconquers #entrepreneurlife #worklifebalanced
Instead of picking yourself apart today or starting the week with a negative mindset. โฃ โฃ Reset and remind yourself of a few things your proud of.๐ญ โฃ 1. My ability to stick with something when tempted to quit.โฃ 2. My ability to help others create structure within their creative ideas.โฃ 3. My honest intention for wanting others to succeed. โฃ 4.

I hear this all the time from my coaching clients.โฃ โฃ โฃ It's early in the New Year and I'm sure you have a bunch of ideas and possibly multiple projects in the queue that are set to launch in 2020.โฃ โฃ It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're in "creation mode." When I am in creation mode (like right now) all I want to do is hibernate, abandon my emails, go off the social grid, and just create create create. HA! Kind of impossible if you want to stay consistent and not drown yourself in emails to the point of no return. โฃ โฃ ๐๐จ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ:โฃ โฃ 1.) Evaluate your calendar and block schedule the hell out of it. The key to time blocking is organizing the tasks that need to be completed like emails, conference calls, client work, content creation, etc & then set aside a specific timeframe to focus only on those items and nothing else - CLOSE THOSE TABS MY FRIEND! โฃ โฃ 2.) Commit to bulk post creation. Sometimes the best way to stay consistent with social posts is to chart out 7 to 10 days of content in one sitting. You will love yourself later if you actually do this! โฃ โฃ 3.) Automate what you can. Use Jotform for inquiry intakes or Calendly to make scheduling a breeze.โฃ โฃ 4.) Put that away message on. This not only gives you peace of mind, but also manages expectations for those emailing you. Drop that Calendly link in there so that people can schedule a time to chat with you once you come back up for air.โฃ โฃ What did I miss? What helps you "GET IT DONE!?"

Well, Yesterday my sister in law Marisa aka @the_conscious_mommy and I spent the entire day developing an upcoming workshop and tool for women, female entrepreneurs, mothers, and those looking to crush the FOMO and step into their Rainbow Reality. ๐(More on that coming soon ๐) . Throughout the day we were also taking care of this precious little nugget, my 4 month old Nephew Nash. And WOW - I was so inspired by the way Marisa multi-tasked, mothered like a champ, and continued to plow through our think tank with such grace. . Whether Nash was crying, feeding, pooping, squirming, or giggling we were there for him without missing a beat in our massive brainstorm. . I feel so proud to be a woman, we are strong yet gentle, giving yet self sufficient, and so fiercely full of love and compassion. โฅ๏ธ . It is amazing how we can do it all if we choose to!

As business owners, itโs no secret we want to stand out and ๐ฃ ๐ข ๐ฃ through the clutter -- and thereโs a good reason for this. Millennials are drawn to disruptive brands. Weโre naturally attracted to businesses that push the envelope and remain consistent in their unique, purposeful messaging. So, ask yourself: What is it that makes your brand unique and compelling? In other words, what is your signature? And how will you use it to drive traffic to your brand? If you donโt know the answer yet, thatโs totally fine. My goal here is to introduce you to a concept that is guaranteed to get your gears turning. Itโs something that has personally made a huge difference in my own business. Yet, strangely, itโs rarely talked about. Iโm talking about creating a signature traffic builder. There are many ways to create traffic, but a signature traffic builder is the unique plan of action and content your brand commits to. Your signature traffic builder might be a blog, podcast, twitter chat like #Millennialtalk, Facebook Live series, email newsletter or webinar (or whatever other inventive, amazing idea you have that is relevant to your business). Whatever method you decide to employ, youโre going to be creating consistent, deliberate content that will drive brand awareness, traffic and engagement to your business... . . ๐ธSO WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE? . . โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธFor more #PersonalBranding Tips & Info on building your sษชษขษดแดแดแดสแด แดสแดาาษชแด สแดษชสแด แดส go ahead and check out my IG Stories or link in Bio...Tap Tapโก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ . . #personalbranding #signaturetrafficbuilder #growthmarketing #millennialmarketing #millennialtalk #millennialspeaker #brandingcoach ๐MAKEUP๐by @rachelsbrides.....
