How to Keep Going (EVEN when You’re Seeing Results)
How often do you have a habit or a practice in place that feels SOOOOOOOO GOOD? I mean, doing this thing makes your body feel ALIVE, vibrant...AH-MAZING!
But for some reason...somewhere along the way...you just...STOP. DOING. IT.
What gives?
Fear, duh.
Typically, having coached high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders for the past it’s just because we’ve lost the container of having a fear-based drive to do it.
The problem was...YOU SAW RESULTS.
Wait? Isn’t that what you wanted right?
Yep, exactly.
You don’t feel the need to go to the gym AS OFTEN if you’ve lost those ten pounds.
You don’t feel the need to continue to prospect for clients AS OFTEN after you’ve hit a $10K month.
So you stop or slow down the intensity in which you chased the goal
MEANING, SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY YOUR MOTIVATION STRATEGY NEEDS TO SHIFT.
From away from what you don’t want…
Like being 10 pounds...
When Love and Leadership Make a Business Baby
Ever wonder why so many people fall out of love with their business? Or their job? Or their career?
I mean, you studied for it.
You trained for it.
You probably achieved so much in it already.
So what gives?
Typically, having coached high-achieving multi-passionate leaders for the past 5 years, I’ve found that it’s not the job or the business or the career that grows weary.
It’s their motivation strategy.
You start a business or job or a career to move you AWAY from pain.
You DON’T want to feel constrained by a job anymore...so you start a business!
You DON’T want to be broke...so you start a career or a new job!
You started something because of something you DIDN’T want. But eventually, that motivation will only go so far.
Think of it like this…
You can hit the gas running while looking in the rearview mirror shaking the dust of what you DON’T want for only so long.
You can’t drive forward for the long...
Finding the Courage to Youtube
OMG! OMG! It’s here. It’s out. It’s live. It’s freaking scary. It’s freaking happening. It’s freaking done.
There’s no going back now.
Because that is what happens every time you up-level - every time you grow beyond your current capacity.
You change who you are at your core.
It’s your choice to decide...
To choose...
You choose how life changes you.
As Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl says, “Between cause and effect there is a space, a gap to choose your reaction.”
IT WAS MY DAD’S DEATH THAT LAUNCHED MY NEXT LEVEL OF A FEARLESS LIFE.
For in his passing, I was contacted by THOUSANDS of his fans from Elders React.
They shared memories and moments of how through that viral show, he brought them so much joy.
For many, he was the grandpa they had wished they had.
For others, he was just “that crazy guy” on Youtube...
BUT THE COMMON DENOMINATOR WAS CONSISTENT - JOY. LAUGHTER. AND...
What’s Your Fantasy?
CONFESSION TIME: I love me some dirty rap.
Oh yes, I mean my white girl booty can get down and Christina Agularia style diiiiiirrrty with Ludacris, Nikki Minaj, and some WOP when the mood strikes.
(If you’re with me on this, please let me know )
One of my faves is Ludacris' “What’s Yo’ Fantasy,” I mean whooooo, baby it’s already sending off the dopamine secretion in my body. (Yes, that is a real thing...just THINKING about a song that gets you in the mood will trigger the dopamine in your brain.)
So here’s the thing about fantasy…
WE AS HUMANS ARE MOTIVATED BY TWO THINGS:
No.1 - To Move AWAY from Pain
No.2 - To Move TOWARD Pleasure
Having coached 5, 6, and 7-figure high-achieving leaders for nearly the past 5 years, I have seen more people be motivated by No.1 (PAIN) than by No.2 (Pleasure).
You DON’T want to be stuck making only 5-figures anymore...that’s PAINFUL!
You DON’T want to be stuck feeling...

7 Entrepreneurship Lessons from Elders' React Rock (aka MY DAD!!)

LOVE Lives On Forever
523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died. Particularly the songs, “Without You” and “Seasons of Love” - probably more so the latter since Decky loves the song because it has numbers in it.
523,600 minutes.
523,000 moments so dear.
523,600 minutes, how do you measure a year?
EACH ONE OF THOSE 523,600 MINUTES IS A MOMENT TO LOVE.
To show yourself some love by getting enough sleep.
To show others your love by writing a kind note or private FB message.
To show your family your love by being fully present with them.
To show strangers your love when you share your voice from a stage or Youtube or on a podcast.
How many minutes a day are you leaning into love?
Like REAL, passionate, full, shakes-you-to-the-core, beams-from-inside you love?
Love is a many splendid things.
Love lifts us up where we belong.
Love makes the world go ‘round.
All you need is love.
The number...
All You Need is Love
Have you ever had a labor of love that was so deeply personal, you just felt you had to get it right - not for you - for the other person?
That’s how I’ve been with this upcoming Youtube video and re-release of our Crown Yourself channel, or as I like to call it…
QUEEN TV...OR THE SOVEREIGN STATION.
Both work - haha.
AND THIS LABOR OF LOVE HAS BEEN TERRIFYING FOR ME. I’VE LITERALLY BROKEN OUT IN HIVES, LOST MY VOICE, AND PUSHED THROUGH BECAUSE IT MEANS SO MUCH.
You see, it’s for my dad.
And yes for me.
BUT THIS FIRST VIDEO IS REALLY A TRIBUTE TO MY DAD.
And a little known, but very weird true fact...my dad was a Youtube Star.
Seriously.
Yes, at 68 my dad’s Hollywood dreams came true - finally. He was one of the old guys on a Youtube show called “Elder’s React.” He’d react to the latest viral videos, video games, trends, Kim Kardashian breaking the internet, music videos, and other random stuff.
...
WTF is it with FOMO?
You know when you’ve been telling your partner something for...forever. And then suddenly they hear it from someone else, and it just CLICKS!
Sure, you have to check your ego. But, once you do, you feel SO FREAKING EXCITED to be on the same page.
Well, that is what yesterday’s Mind-Body Movement Masterclass was like for me!
I brought in my friend, Physical Therapist, Holly Vaughn - she basically has the entire alphabet of PT creds and certifications behind her - to speak to our Mindful Monarchs Membership.
And I had Spikey, who is our Communication Coach for our VIP Mindful Monarchs, co-lead, and co-host with me.
And daaaaaaayyyymmm…
BECAUSE HE WAS ON LIVE HE GOT HIS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACHY SHOULDERS AND ARMS ANSWERED…
BECAUSE he was on LIVE he got actual tactile tools to use to help his body…
BECAUSE he was on LIVE he also had a game-plan that he has already put into action.

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain
Oh, it hurts so good - you know the feeling - when you’re totally crushing it in the gym. You push that extra mile. You do that ONE, LAST rep. You do 10X more sit-ups because you’re just in the freaking zone.
That is what we call good pain.
GOOD PAIN COMES FROM GROWTH. IT COMES FROM THAT DEPTH OF SOUL, OF YOUR PERSONAL POWER WHEN YOU LEAN COURAGEOUSLY IN TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE.
And it doesn’t just show up in the gym.
I see it all the time in my client’s businesses.
When they stretch themselves to hire their first team member…
When they power through their launch and get their first sign-ups…
When they FINALLY build that passive income funnel that brings them in their first $19 while they sleep…
When they tap into their Zone of Genius and work less while making more…
That is growth pain.
Because there is a curve of adaptation to BECOME that version of you where your next level of success is freaking normal.
But there is a...
Why does this hurt?
Have you ever had one of those annoying pains that just don’t go away? Ever been in the middle of a really big project and then suddenly - WHAM! - out of nowhere, you pull a shoulder, twist an ankle, and down you go?
Having worked with high-performing bodies with high standards for a righteous butt-kicking whether in the Pilates studio or mentally with business-upleveling coaching - for over 16+ years I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen productivity tank when the body craps out.
Whether it’s a nagging ache that disrupts your depth of sleep, or a serious injury that completely curtails your morning gym routine, your greatest tool as a leader is your body.
...IF IT AIN’T WORKING RIGHT, EVERYTHING CAN FEEL TIGHT. CONSTRICTED. CHALLENGING...PAINFUL.
That’s why I’m so excited to announce our new Mind-Body Movement Masterclass series!!!!
Every month I’m bringing in magical, amazing experts who are true masters in their fields to work with...
