Becoming UNSTOPPABLE in life and business calls for owning your AUTHORITY. 

As part of our mission to help high-achieving women claim, and quite frankly create their “MORE” out of life, last week we held a retreat for the women in our Spirit of Wealth Mastermind and it was nothing short of phenomenal!  

I had the honor to work with women who unabashedly want everything (wealth, healthy relationships, work-life balance, and more!)

But like most high-performing women, even with a can-do attitude, at times it seems impossible.

How do we actually create all that we desire?

One of the biggest keys is to own your authority.

Because not only does MONEY follow authority but so does TEAM, IMPACT, INFLUENCE, OUTREACH, LOVE, and so much more… 

Over the course of 3 days, we dove deep into this concept… the breakthroughs were many, the connection was palpable, and the evolution of owning one’s authority was visibly recognizable in all the women.

Want to unlock the power of owning your authority?

Here is one EXCLUSIVE lesson from the Spirit of Wealth retreat. 

Stop getting stuck in the story

“I don’t have time.”
“I don’t deserve this.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“They’re going to find out I’m not as smart as they think I am.”

These are just a few of the stories that creep in when we’re going for more. 

Left unattended, they can sabotage your progress.

In order to avoid that, it takes awareness and I’m not talking about just knowing that the thought exists. You have to dive deeper and ask yourself—  What’s the good in this thought?

For instance, if you keep thinking that you never have enough time, the good thing in this is a recognition that it’s FREEDOM that you desire. 

When you see this and OWN this, you step into your authority. You’re not trying to be someone you’re not. You’re owning your TRUTH.

Then you have to live it… actually give yourself the freedom that you desire. When you do that, you become the author of your own life and you build up and strengthen your creative life force.

As this grows, your ability to create (in all areas of your life) grows. 

What were your takeaways from this recap? I’d love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to email us with your thoughts!

Need help scaling? Here’s how

By Amira Alvarez You can’t do business without doing the math.  But you don’t have to do it alone.  When you know how to approach the math, it’ll be easy to see the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.  This can be scary at first, something you…

You can’t do business without doing the math. 

But you don’t have to do it alone. 

When you know how to approach the math, it’ll be easy to see the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. 

This can be scary at first, something you don’t really want to look at.

But we want to turn that around and start to LOVE ❤️ looking at the numbers…

And guess what happens when you do that… 

You’ll be able to build the RIGHT plan for YOU. 

And guess what happens when you have the right plan…

You’ll know exactly what it’ll take to scale and close the gap on time between where you are now and where you want to be.

In other words, you’ll see what it will take to actually Quantum Leap your income!

Sounds easy, but l want to talk about what’s at stake here. 

Without the right plan, you’ll be chasing your own tail, unable to get clarity on not only how much you’d like to earn but how exactly to get there. 

For instance, there was a time when I wanted to make loads of money but I struggled with that desire. Did I deserve it? Was it wrong to want it? Did it mean that others were going to get the short end of the stick?  All of that stopped me from executing at the highest level.

I also know what it feels like to wonder why what I’m doing isn’t contributing to my dreams and my purpose. I was working my tail off but not getting ahead. I kept thinking… “Why is it so freaking hard? Why do I keep getting in my own way? When is it going to get better?” This storyline creates so much noise you get stuck in the morass everyday, rather than seamlessly doing what you need to do.

Then there’s the next layer down…even if you have the most powerful spreadsheet on revenue forecasts, but you don’t have the beliefs or the self-image to go with your plans, you won’t execute on them, and you’ll lose your trust in yourself.

And when you lose trust in yourself, you’ll lose a little bit of your self worth.

What happens when you lose your self-worth?

You won’t feel worthy of receiving more money, more easily.

And THAT is a big roadblock to wealth.

So what do you say? Shall we bust that wide open and do things differently?

Simply download The Scale Plan  and get access to a step-by-step guide on how to develop a scalable business plan that will actually work for you. 

It includes a worksheet that asks the right questions, audio training to guide you through everything, and a bonus “Make Love to the Numbers” spreadsheet to help you build the right business plan. 

All totally FREE.

It’s exactly what you need to take things to the next level.

The question is… are you going to act? 
See you on the other side!

My addiction to time scarcity–and what I did about it

I’ve been totally guilty of…

Trying to fit one more thing in before my next meeting.

Scarfing down my lunch at my desk before my next zoom call…or actually on it?

Rushing to get somewhere because I cut it so close leaving the house.

I’ve done ALL of these things and the truth is, I still do sometimes! Ugh! All in the name of efficiency, growth, and personal responsibility to my business.

But how does it feel?

Anything but RICH!

Rushing around, cramming too much into one day or one week, being over busy… it just isn’t a rich and abundant life.

It’s time scarcity.

And time scarcity IS scarcity. Flat out.

That was one of the biggest AH-HAs I had over the years– that money scarcity is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being in lack.

Now truth be told…when I started this journey, I just wanted to make a f—- ton of money. I didn’t want to feel constrained by not having enough.

Of course I wanted to do good work and truly serve, but I also wanted the big payday. I make this point over and over because I think people have a lot of guilt about wanting to make big money. Like they can’t be a good person AND make money.

But that’s not true and money was, in the beginning, a huge driver for me.

There was a ton of personal growth work and tactical action that I needed to take to figure out money abundance.

But once I did, I realized that I was still in scarcity…

Scarcity about time has been a BIG ONE for me but you might find you’re in scarcity about love, presence, connection, attention, or even your health.

In talking to my 84 year old mother on my trip out to see her in California last week, she said: “You’re so positive and happy.”


Hi Mom 👋

She’s known me for a long time, so I really appreciated that reflection. But it didn’t happen overnight or without facing some serious demons.

And “by facing demons” I mean really reflecting on the results I was getting, being honest that I was ‘at cause’ creating these outcomes. There was no one and no thing outside of me that was determining this and was to blame. It was me and how I was choosing to live.

Next came claiming that I was not available for a life lived like this.

This required a level of awareness about what was happening, getting clear, and making decision after decision to live my life differently.

I explain it and give a couple of examples of how it works in this video clip: A 3-Step Process For Planning Your Time Away From The Office

Once you watch it, do a little reflection… where are you in scarcity in your life? That’s the awareness piece. Then it’s time to hold yourself to a higher standard and start doing life and business differently.

Let me know how it goes for you!

How to know when to stretch financially

You want to hire that expert, sign up for that training, or go to that event. 

You want to invest in new software or attract that next-level team member with a bigger comp package. 

Or maybe you want to invest in infrastructure like the client in the coaching dialogue we’re highlighting today.

Whatever it is, you know that you need to invest in order to level up. 

Yet, the truth is… sometimes your CASH POOR, the funds are allocated for something else, or you’re just uncertain about future cash flow. 

You sit there pondering… Is making this investment an act of staking a claim for abundance and growth? Or is this just going to stress me out beyond my comfort level?

Listen into this coaching dialogue where we cover the practicalities and the nuances of making these kinds of decisions even when you’re running a multiple million dollar business… plus, I share my story of how this has changed for me over the years.

Listening to the guy changed my life

I remember sitting in a seminar, listening to this guy. He said: 

“You can make your annual income your monthly income.”

This guy ended up being my mentor, but at the time he was just “this guy.”

I didn’t really know him or who he was, but he stood up there and made this statement with total clarity.

There was no ambiguity or weird double-binds… (when you say one thing and mean another… i.e. you’re lying!)

Then he said… “It’s easier to make a lot of money, than a little money.”

My mind blew open at that point. 

It didn’t make any sense to me logically. But something inside of me told me that it was correct. 

It was his confidence that got me to wake up and lean in. I knew that he had lived this experience.

At the time, this wasn’t my experience at all. I was working my puttootee off. Crazy hours. Lots of stress.

I was enjoying myself when I wasn’t completely exhausted, and making good, but not extraordinary money. ($138k annually)

I wanted to make a lot more so I could have more freedom to do what I wanted. 

At some level I definitely thought I could. But I kept hitting a wall… thinking that if I just worked harder, I’d make more.

But as I sat in the front row and leaned in…

When I heard “this guy” speak, I realized I was living a middle class mindset.

I was believing (and living out) the idea that if I just worked hard enough the money would come. 

At the time, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you why this wasn’t true, but I knew in my bones that it wasn’t. 

But now… having lived it out… having created a multi-million dollar business… I know it through lived experience. 

For one, I’ve many times over made my annual income my monthly income. I also know why it’s easier to make a lot of money than a little money.

And if I did it… so can you. 

Everyone has the potential to make as much money as they want… as consistently as they want…

But not everyone executes on it. Why is that??

The answer: You’ve got to want the freedom more than your fear of failure.
