Have you ever been on an inspiring training call or attended an event that left you feeling incredibly motivated, only to return home and have absolutely NOTHING change?

This happens when we don’t address our ENVIRONMENT.

It’s not enough to learn the new things or to become inspired… you have to take the ACTIONS that move the needle… do the INNER GAME work of shifting your mindset and get leverage over your subconscious blocks and beliefs… all while also creating any necessary changes to your environment so that you’re FULLY SUPPORTED in becoming unstoppable.

I want you to ask yourself…

  • Are you surrounded by like-minded women with the same level of drive as you?
  • Do you learn from people who have done what you want to do?
  • Do you feel confident and clear around your family, friends, and loved ones?
  • Does your team rally behind your vision and commit to making it happen?
  • Or are you constantly shrinking, hiding, and dumbing your desires down?
  • Are you choosing to be “realistic” and “practical” so that others feel comfortable?

When you immerse yourself in an environment that FULLY supports you being who you truly are and going for MORE in all areas of your life and work… it accelerates everything.

  • You’re not wasting time and energy defending your desires.
  • You’re not having to explain yourself.
  • You’re able to get support when you need it.
  • You’re inspired regularly by the people around you to keep doing the work.
  • You’re constantly reminded of what’s possible for you if you keep showing up.

YOU are a powerhouse, too.

YOU are already going for more, just by being here with me.

YOU are doing important work in the world.

But are YOU committed to becoming unstoppable?

Persistence Despite The ‘No’

By Amira Alvarez I had an “issue” in the hotel I’m staying at– I wanted something seemingly simple and I got a ‘no’. Do you ever get frustrated when you hear people say, "no, that’s not possible” or “no, you can't do that or have that"? It's one of those things that drives…

I had an “issue” in the hotel I’m staying at– I wanted something seemingly simple and I got a ‘no’.

Do you ever get frustrated when you hear people say, “no, that’s not possible” or “no, you can’t do that or have that”?

It’s one of those things that drives me crazy.

Of course, you can do that.

Part of it is of course that… I just want what I want. Don’t tell me ‘no.’ ;-)

But really? The lack of initiative makes me crazy. The stopping and the giving up on the first try. The just saying ‘no’ out of a habit of not really thinking creatively or problem-solving.

So I ask again. And this time the Operations Manager is there and he says, “I’ll take care of it.” He has an idea. He knows exactly what to do. Initiative and it’s taken care of. In 5 minutes. Thank you!

This happens all the time in life and business… not just in hotels. ;-)

Someone says, ‘no’ and we stop asking. We believe the ‘no.’  (Don’t believe it. You can have what you want if you really want it.)

Something happens that seems insurmountable and we stop.

But your current circumstances are simply a reflection of past causes you’ve put into effect.

Want different results? Put a different cause into effect…

But don’t stop.

  • That won’t get you what you want.
  • You can’t stop asking.
  • You can’t stop seeking.
  • You can’t stop knocking.

Persist despite the no and you’ll eventually get a yes.

This is part of learning to Be UNSTOPPABLE. But there is so much more to it as well!

Why “Can I afford it?” Is One Of The Worst Questions To Ask If You Want To Make More Money

By Amira Alvarez Does every buying decision you make start with the thought… How much is it? and Can I afford it? Do you stop short of buying what you want, because there’s a voice in your head saying “that’s frivolous or irresponsible, you can’t afford that!”? Do you hem and haw and…

Does every buying decision you make start with the thought… How much is it? and Can I afford it?

Do you stop short of buying what you want, because there’s a voice in your head saying “that’s frivolous or irresponsible, you can’t afford that!”?

Do you hem and haw and take forever to decide whether to purchase something?

I used to do this all the time. I used to make my life and business decisions based on whether or not I could afford something. I always made it a money decision.

I may have wanted the beautiful clothes, the private car, the high-end photoshoot, or the top-notch professionals on my team… but I didn’t feel like it was practical. And certainly thought I couldn’t afford it. Heck, at the time, I didn’t even think I could afford a manicure!

This is how so many women operate, thinking they’re being realistic and will do the bigger, better, more aligned things (whatever they are for you) once they’re ALREADY making more money and can afford it… but that’s not how the Spirit/Source/The Universe works.

The Universe gives you exactly the money that you expect for yourself.

Deciding you can’t afford, means you don’t expect the money. You expect to stay exactly where you are.

I know this goes against everything that you were probably brought up to believe about how money functions, how to be responsible in this life, and how to get ahead. (Budget, budget, budget. Save, save, save. One day, I’ll get there.)

Let me be clear, this isn’t about spending frivolously and buying a private jet when you make $50k. ;-)

You have to start from where you are… and you also have to do the work.

For me, this meant flying first class when I “couldn’t afford to fly first class.” It stretched me so much! And for a long time, I was completely resistant to it… because I couldn’t afford it!

But then I took that leap of faith…

I bought that first First Class ticket, and OMG, what that demanded of me! I had to face so much and do so much inner and outer game work.

It was a BIG growth edge challenge, but in pushing that edge I learned a huge lesson about what moves money into your life.

And I’d love to teach you this and shorten your learning curve… so that you can make the income and money that you want and deserve.

When I did this I had to do the inner game work with all the blocks and beliefs that came up because of it. I had to release so many of the old beliefs about money (and self-worth) in order to step into the woman I wanted to be… but I couldn’t just “act as if,” I had to shift my mindset and my beliefs and hold space for what I truly desired… and take bold new outer game actions in my business as well.

The inner game and the outer game go hand-in-hand.

But what came first was a true leap of faith– and prove to myself and the Universe that I had made the decision to have what I desire… by showing up as that woman in the NOW.

HOW To Call In Exactly What You Desire

When we’re leveling up in our lives and businesses… truly going for MORE in all the ways that both excite and terrify us… one of the things that stops us is the how.

*How will I move to the next level in my work?
*How will I actually make six or seven figures in my business?
*How will I finally lose the weight if I haven’t been able to for years?
*How will I sell this new product or package I’m excited about?
*How will I find the time to take that trip I’ve always dreamed of?
*How will I find the money to buy the clothes, the new house, the car I want?

Seems practical to consider these things…

Yet, that’s exactly where we get hung up, stuck, stalled… and we never move forward.

You see, sometimes we claim what we want (the first step in The Unstoppable Woman Methodology), and how we start calling that in is crystal clear… so we just need to take the actions.

Often times, however, jumping from claiming what we want to trying to find the how is missing a step… the second, incredibly important step of The Unstoppable Woman Methodology… which is to DECIDE. Decide that you’re going to do/be/have whatever you desire.

It’s not just… “that would be nice.”
It’s definitely not… “maybe someday soon.”
And it’s certainly not… “but that’s not practical now.”

You DECIDE that this is what you are going to do, be, have… FULL STOP.

Deciding means eliminating other options… it means you’re no longer spinning on the what ifs and maybes… you are DOING THIS. Even if you don’t know how.

Because DECIDING is required for the HOW to be revealed to us. Deciding is what prompts us to step into a new way of BEING, which opens us up to new possibilities, opportunities, and actions.

It declares to Spirit, “okay, we’re doing this now, what’s next,” and Spirit gives you guidance… but not before you decide.

But DECIDING hits up against our deepest fears… blocks… beliefs… stories… and our subconscious mind is an absolutely pro at giving us seemingly great reasons to not move forward. So we never truly, deeply, fully decide.

Whether you’re ready to double or triple your income, or create some other amazing outcome in your life, this is the process you need to know!

I’ll show you how to move from claiming your desire… to DECIDING that it’s happening… and into the aligned actions that help you become TRULY unstoppable and turn your life into a work of art… quickly, and with far more ease.

Can’t wait to go deeper into this with you…

Hi… Amira here,

One of the most impactful things I ever heard on my journey to creating financial freedom and an on purpose, highly intentional life was… If you’re not growing, you’re dying.

This one sentence changed my life.

Stop and think about it for a moment. There are no two ways about it. You’re either growing or your dying.

The tricky thing is that dying comes in so many flavors that you’re conditioned to agree with. The most insidious versions are the messages you tell yourself… I don’t have time, I’m all good now, I just want to do xyz for now…

Or… your automatic emotional reactions that say this is the time to be… righteous, frustrated, or disappointed.

Having growth as a value, and living and breathing it on a daily basis, will quantum leap your business and your life… it will make you UNSTOPPABLE…  but you have to take the blinders off and hold yourself to a higher and higher standards of growth.

In order to stay conscious and hold myself to a higher standard, I use a particular question every day… I talk about it in this Facebook live video I made for you on growth:

There are so many versions of stopping. Some are super sneaky and almost barely recognizable because they’ve become acceptable to you.

I’ve used this question with my weight, my running, my relationships, my business… ALL THE FREAKIN’ TIME with my business… as well as with my mindset.

And the result?

I’ve become UNSTOPPABLE in my life and business. I’ve created more in a few years than most people do in an entire lifetime.

I’m not at all perfect. Perfection is NOT my goal—though my ego might still think so. ;-)

I’m still a beautiful work in progress… and I’m continually going for more every day… because I’m committed to my freedom and to being unstoppable.

Are you?

The Thing About Freedom

Hi, Amira here…

Today I want to share with you the importance of being you. It seems so obvious… who else would you be?

Yet, the truth is most people squash who they truly are. They try to conform or contort themselves to fit other people’s expectations and be someone else… in small and large ways.

We learn this young. Don’t be ourselves…. Don’t be fully expressed… Don’t ask for what we want… DON’T ROCK THE BOAT… or we might be rejected.

And because we fear rejection, we cap our self-expression.

Yet, you weren’t put on this earth to be anyone but yourself.

You were put on this earth to be the best expression of yourself that you can be.

You were given a purpose, it is part of YOU, and IF you are capping the expression of your truth you are stopping the full expression of that purpose. No bueno!

In addition, FREEDOM, what so many entrepreneurs crave… isn’t just freedom over their time and schedule, it’s the freedom to truly be themselves… no matter what, fully expressed. Unshackled. Unlimited. Fully themselves. (“You can’t tell me what to do. You can’t tell me what to say.”)

FREEDOM means that nothing stops you from that… including money, what other people say, do, or think, worry, fear, any outside circumstance, or inside state.

The Law of Vibration states you need to be at the frequency of what you want to call it into your life for it to arrive. This is the Law.

If you are in business for yourself and you want FREEDOM, then you need to start being at that frequency… which means that you need to start expressing yourself, more and more fully.

This is essential. You have to move to more and more full expression of yourself… otherwise you will always be trapped. You’ll never get that freedom that you so crave.

When you feel trapped, limited, not free…  this directly affects the speed and extent to which your business grows. Take a look around at really successful businesses run by entrepreneurs… notice how expressed they are. Think Oprah. Think Beyonce. Think Richard Branson. The list goes on.

Today, look for the small and large ways that you contort yourself to fit other people’s expectations. How are you a party to your own limitation? How could be more fully expressed?

The more you express yourself and the truth of who you are, the faster you’ll achieve that freedom you so crave.
