She doesn’t know it yet, but in about 6 years she’ll be living in Hawaii, driving a G-Wagon, and running a business that just hit 8-figures.
…but again – she doesn’t know it yet.
And neither do you.
I love this trend, but my mind keeps going to: whoa – if we “cut to” even just this time next year…
…what would our future selves be saying we “don’t know yet”.
Doesn’t that make you a little teary? It does for me – especially when I think about the girl in this video.
Can I take you back?
This girl was 5-figures in debt. She worked on her business in the morning, and served cocktails by night.
She didn’t tell anyone – but she was really scared.
She’d wake up in the middle of the night thinking:
What if this actually doesn’t work out?
What if I put all this work into my course and nobody buys?
What if I’m a cocktail server the rest of my life?
And I promise you – for this girl, the only thing bigger than her fear was that “still small voice” in her heart saying:
But what if it *does* all work out?
What if they *do* buy?
What if you have a life beyond your wildest dreams?
So that “still small voice” was the voice I chose to listen, too. (Hi, the girl in that video is me if you weren’t following with my poetry lol 🤣).
And I’m so glad I did.
I’d wake up in the morning and just decide to take action anyways.
I recorded videos from my beach chair.
My first stab at branding makes me cringe.
I didn’t have an audience or an ads budget or a trust fund. (5-figures in debt, remember???).
And I’m telling you this because I was no different than you.
I talk to my team about this a lot, but as the years have gone on – there are times I don’t feel as close to you all reading this as I used to.
I worry that as my life has become more of my dream life, you all think I’m so far removed from what it feels like to be the cocktail waitress who didn’t want to be a cocktail waitress.
But I just want you to know: I think about the girl in that video every single day.
How scared she was. How brave she was. How she knew a better life was possible.
(And wow babe, it was!).
So as you reflect today, I just want you to think about: do you want it more than you’re afraid of it?
I knew I was going to be so mad at myself in 20-30 years if I was still serving piña coladas instead of drinking my own dirty martini on a balcony somewhere.
You know that, too. Whatever your version of that is.
I’m proud of you. I’m rooting for you.
Sit with this. And come back next week if you’re ready to start turning this vision into a reality.
Sound good?
XO
