In the book Overcoming Underearning, Barbara Stanny identifies 10 qualities of underearners. I have known for years that I was an underearner but was shocked to realize that I have fully 8 of these qualities! 1 and 9 definitely have never applied to me…I didn’t feel trapped and I LOVE wealth. For years, I felt…
Are You An Under Earner?
What’s Your Message? What are you telling yourself about you?
Internal dialog can be an ongoing battle of ups and downs. Sometimes we are “up” and know for sure we’ve got this, we are powerful, and we can get what we want. Then there are the times we feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or in a place where we are not fully aware of our superpowers. Either…
Out With Comfortable. The significance of doing MORE….
Several days ago I created a post called the “Have More” Cocktail. The first ingredient is “Do More”.
