89 - What I Learned from My First Six-figure Month

You read that title right--it finally happened. A six-figure month! A short while ago, Elyse made herself unavailable to play small. Towards the end of 2020, she became present to the bigger things she wanted to do in the world. The pivots she wanted to make financially, socially, and professionally simply demanded more money. Elyse dove in and decided to level up, and level up big time. Today, she’s sharing with us what she learned from that journey and how intuition can guide your success. With a new brand, new program launch, and new mentality, Elyse has finally gotten out of her own way and trusted her gut. Number one--it’s truly a decision. Everything in your life is. When Elyse made the decision that she was no longer available to play small, it required taking big, scary actions, like investing in coaching. In that moment, her brain switched. It no longer becomes “should I do this or not” and morphs into “how can I make this work?” Your brain is designed to give you what you’re thinking about--when you can do that, you’re in. The second thing Elyse learned was to stop worrying about the ‘how.’ In her professional life, Elyse has always been a controller. Through this process, she learned that the BEST how will reveal itself to you. When that happens, you can energetically live into that. She didn’t know ‘how’ but Elyse knew it was time to become the woman who makes 7 figures in a year. She started feeling that and forming herself into it. It forced her to confront some money demons, but without doing that, they would control her life and keep her from what she wanted. Once she overcame them through feeling the feeling of accomplishing her goals and visualization, she made it. In the end, everything is energy--when you match it, it comes to you. Step three is trusting your gut. Sometimes, things can defy logic. By cutting off consumption that can cause doubt and fill you with fear, you allow your brain to listen to itself and intuition takes control. She got radically out of her comfort zone and stopped being a perfectionist.
The fourth step is feeling the feelings of what you want first. The universe is a mirror. Everything you want you want because you know it’ll make you feel a certain way. The universe doesn’t give you what you want, it gives you what you are. If you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed, you’re requesting more of it from the universe. Feel what you want to feel when you manifest it. It’s about noticing when you feel something not good and understanding you’re believing a lie--a limiting belief. You can create your own thoughts--what would bring you closer to joy? Fifth: make it about something bigger than you. When you make the decision to multiply your business, have in mind the grander plan. It’s great to live a good lifestyle, but what else are you working towards? Consider all versions of your dream life--what is it about? Helping your partner retire, offer support to those in need, pursue social justice--identify that and use it as a north star. It’s about contributing at a high-level to things you care about. When you can do that, the work you do becomes profound and the people you serve can feel that. The sixth thing Elyse learned was that things happen fast when you get out of your own way. This massive jump happened in just about 6 weeks, and the money came in in 10 days. This is a miniscule amount of time relative to a career of making low six-figures. Of course there is a longer period of coming to this decision, but once it’s made, the universe caters to speed. The only thing that blocks things coming to you quickly is your own resistance to it. When you start feeling worthy of what you want and you take inspired action, it will happen fast. Make small, incremental up-levels--splurge slightly when it’s appropriate! And speak positively towards yourself. You deserve a compliment from yourself! Finally, do everything that scares you. This isn’t just feeling and not doing--it’s feeling then acting. When you stay in that space you get ideas and nudges towards what you want. Become unattached to how it goes. You can experience some resistance from your limiting beliefs that can try to derail you, but when you push your limits you can find yourself in awe at the results. There’s a difference between busy action and aligned action. When you are done with mediocrity, you’ll get urges to do things that the old you wouldn’t do. Your job is to do them.
