What Are You Tolerating?

Tolerations are one way that we continually sabotage our growth and success.

Because tolerations keep us small. They keep us in old ways of being, or in relationships and obligations that don’t truly serve us in calling in what we desire.

Nothing needs to be tolerated… yet, I’m sure you’ll find that when you get really honest, you’re actually tolerating a lot.

Are you tolerating…

  • Non-ideal or drama loving clients or team.
  • Not making enough money or not charging enough.
  • Not doing what you really want to do.
  • Not taking action and therefore not growing.
  • Not having the right support you need.
  • Not taking the vacations you want to take.
  • Not enough down time or time for what you love.

 

Or maybe, for you, it looks like tolerating…

  • Toxic people.
  • Confusion or indecision about what to do next.
  • Paralysis, perfectionism, or procrastination.
  • Invisibility, not putting yourself out there.
  • Anxiety, worry, and doubt.
  • Writer’s block.
  • Overwhelm and burnout.

 

And in your life, it might look like tolerating…

  • Unsupportive partners or family members.
  • An unsatisfying sex life or hating how your body looks.
  • An uninspiring or ugly home environment.
  • Clothing that’s just meh or bad hair days.

 

And the list goes on and on. You get the idea. Toleration.

Is that really okay? I’m sure you believe you can make the argument that it is… but I’m arguing that it’s NOT. It’s not okay because it’s time to step into MORE.

It’s time to claim what you want and really go for it.

Choose ONE thing that your are NO LONGER going to tolerate. Today.

Choose one thing. Do it now. Your life will forever be changed.

What’s it going to be?

What Focus IS And Is NOT…

Do ever feel like you have to harden, disconnect, or get rigid and tense in order to “make sh*t happen”?

Is this what focus means to you? Is it like cutting off a part of you that wants to play? That’s sensual, open, and expansive?

Now focus is essential. No way around that if you want to achieve your big goals and dreams.

However, there’s a way to integrate a state of open-hearted delight and enjoyment while you do your work.

Focus is simply staying on task without distraction.

  • You can do this while you enjoy yourself.
  • You can do this while you have a full sense of your body and the environment around you.
  • You can do this ease.

Being able to focus is a skill you need to move the needle in your business… but that doesn’t mean you have to harden or become rigid.

I focus like crazy, yet I’m almost always in joy and delight.

I use my will to make things happen, but I stay soft and as aligned with ease as possible.

I show up as a powerhouse in my work, while I stay connected to the truth of who I am.

I command an amazing team, but I regularly do so from a place of fun and play.

I’m focused, yes. I’m using my will, yes.

But I’m not hardened, rigid, or tense.  It’s not only about a ‘put your head down and just grind it out’.

It’s about behind directed, focused, and goal oriented, without losing the feminine. The fluid, creative, soft energy that makes us who we are as women.

The next time you find yourself avoiding focus because it feels too tense and hard for you, flip the script.

CHOOSE a different thought pattern around what it means to focus. Ask yourself what would make it more playful, easy, and filled with delight? How can you soften and still focus?

Focus is a must to move the needle, but it doesn’t have to be hardened, rigid, or tense. ;-)

Comparing Yourself To Others? How To Make It Work

By Amira Alvarez Are you comparing your business to other people’s? Do you worry about where you “should be” vs where you are right now? More importantly… do you know what it means that you’re doing this? It’s actually a clever way that your subconscious mind gets you to stop moving beyond your…

Are you comparing your business to other people’s? Do you worry about where you “should be” vs where you are right now?

More importantly… do you know what it means that you’re doing this?

It’s actually a clever way that your subconscious mind gets you to stop moving beyond your safe, comfort zone of known experience.

Translation: it stops you from taking the necessary steps to grow your own business.

All you have to do is look at the results of these thoughts to understand how this process works.

What happens directly after you compare yourself to another person who’s further ahead of you or doing what you want to do, but haven’t yet manifested in your life?

Do you feel bad and check out in some way? Do you comfort eat… distract yourself… take a nap… clean out the closet, do laundry, or do some sort of busy work in your business?

Or do you go into spin out action, trying to do everything now but not getting real traction on anything of significance?

Chances are you do something other than the work you need to be doing right now at this stage in your business.

You don’t write that email or put together the big proposal. You don’t make the sales call or do your follow-up. You don’t create the video or do your marketing.

You definitely don’t have good, delightful energy around your business that makes you want to show up powerfully every day!!

Here’s what to do inside instead when you feel comparison gut you.  

Notice these thoughts, be aware of them, and acknowledge them. “Ahhh, this is where I want to be going.”

Then remind yourself to DO THE WORK FROM WHERE YOU’RE AT.

Hold your vision for the future like a carrot. Let it guide you forward, yes. But do the work where you’re at right now.

Stop comparing yourself to someone else’s progress. Stop trying to bypass the necessary steps. Be where you are and do the work from that point FIRST. What is it that you need to be working on right now? Go do that.

The more quickly you’re able to do this, the more quickly your quantum leap will happen.

You can’t get to where you want to be without taking the steps from where you are now. There’s no bypassing this. :-)

How to Juggle Everything

By Amira Alvarez There’s a lot going on right now. I’m traveling a lot and I’m juggling a lot more! There’s a TON happening in my business right now that I’m so excited about. Like most women in business, there’s a ton to do... there are marketing campaigns to work on, team to…

There’s a lot going on right now.

I’m traveling a lot and I’m juggling a lot more! There’s a TON happening in my business right now that I’m so excited about. Like most women in business, there’s a ton to do… there are marketing campaigns to work on, team to manage and meet with, client support to handle, research and learning, implementing new systems and processes, sales conversations, etc.

It’s a bit of a juggling act, am I right?!

Sometimes it can get overwhelming and you go into a headspace of, “oh my gosh, I have so much to do, how will I get it all done? I’m overwhelmed!”

Now, I have to say that I had a little bit of that the other day. Not a whole lot, but I could feel it kind of edging up. I thought, “Okay. Well, how do we handle this? Do we abdicate? Do we freak out?” No, of course not. Right? What good would that do?

I want to give you two ways to work through this, because spinning out about having too much to do is an energy leak. It’s actually taking more energy than just getting things done.

First, action solves a lot. I’m not talking about spin-out action, but the “I’m going to sit down right now and bang some things out” action. One of the best ways to get into action is to do the easy things first.

Get some momentum. Respond to five emails in your inbox. Make that one call. Button up that one small project. That’s one way to get into momentum.

Second, do the thing you’re resisting first. This is a completely different strategy and you have to use discernment to know which one you need… but if there’s something you’re resisting doing right now, it’s sapping you of your energy and making you overwhelmed and uncomfortable. Go do it now.

So do what you need to do today. Bang it out.

Don’t overdo it, but don’t resist doing it. Take that action. Get into momentum. #BeUnstoppable

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you probably know that I’ve created MULTIPLE quantum leaps in my business since I started.

I went from making $30k my first year and tripled it to $90k my second.

Then I made the lept from $90k to making $138k.

And after making $138k, I 5x my income to $700k in just one year.

I’ve continued to grow leaps and bounds from there.

How? I use the principles behind The Money Breakthrough System. :-)

This system is about turning your potential into PROFIT…. actual, sustainable profit.

Because the truth is… everyone has the potential to make as much money as they want, but not everyone executes on it.

Why is that?

Why do some people make HUGE quantum leaps in their income, while other really smart, really committed, really creative women continue to struggle month-to-month?

Why are some people able to call in more income with relative ease, while others feel overwhelmed with inconsistent cash flow, always struggling to get their next ‘yes’?

It starts with understanding the Manifestation Matrix Process, which is at the heart of the Money Breakthrough system.

When you click here to grab it (it’s 100% FREE), I’ll share:

  • How to claim and actualize your juiciest money goals.
  • The key to quickly identifying your biggest income blocks.
  • The critical step that you must take now to move from passion to profit.

An Overlooked Component Of Receiving What You Want!

I spent last spring in a beautiful beach house right on the water in Cape Cod with my Spirit of Wealth Mastermind and Masterclass women. We dug deep into what it really takes to RECEIVE what you desire.

Throughout our year together, we continually come back to the same questions… what do you want? What is the big, juicy desire that is currently on your heart?

Because that’s the first step to becoming truly unstoppable in your life and business… to receiving EXACTLY what you desire… you have to be clear on what it is you’re calling in.

But another piece of receiving what you desire?

Being willing to release.

This is about The Universal Law of Sacrifice. Being willing to let go of something of a lower nature in order to call in and receive something of a higher nature.

This is more than just decluttering your closet (thought releasing material things is often a HUGE part of the process).

You have to look at ALL areas and aspects of your life… everything from where you spend your time… to the attitude and mindset you bring into your daily life… to the relationships you’re engaging in… to the beliefs and stories that you hold.

So today I want you to do a quick practice with me. :-)

First, get still and silent and tune into your heart. What big, juicy desire is most present for you right now? What would make you over the moon excited to create?

Second, ask yourself who you need to BE to receive that desire. How would you carry yourself? What are the thoughts you might think? What are the beliefs you’d hold? Go so far as your actual presence… what are you wearing? Where do you live? Who’s surrounding you?

Third, make a list of what needs to be sacrificed to step into that new way of being so you can align yourself with what you desire. Think of specific activities, attitudes, mindsets, things, beliefs, and even people. Be honest, that’s important!

Lastly, commit to taking action and release at least ONE of these things.

Today. Don’t wait.
