A "perfect woman" archetype must comply with and embody in order to be deserving of rights and resources

The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand. An introduction.

Somewhere, on the edge of consciousness, there is what I call a mythical norm, which each one of us within our hearts knows “that is not me.” In America, this norm is usually defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and financially secure. -...

Sunday Love Letter

I write them so that…

  1. You remember your life-changing, culture-making power
  2. You have the inspiration + tools you need to bring something new to the world
Are you in?

Willpower will NOT help you create more content, or courses, or or or.

And that’s because the research shows that willpower is a short term source of fuel that we quickly burn through.

Willpower is a kick-start, not a sustainer.

To get things done, we need a system for SUSTAINING and completing great work (not just starting it…)

There’s actual research about what DOES produce high-quality work, and it’s this:

It’s QUANTITY.

1) Producing more = more chances for a breakthrough idea
2) Producing more sharpens your chops. You get good at something by doing it A LOT

With this in mind, I developed The Externalize System that enabled me to be fast & prolific without sacrificing the quality of my work.

It’s counterintuitive, because we’re taught “Quality of over quantity” but the truth is that if you produce a lot, fast,your end work does NOT end up being mediocre, for 3 reasons:

1) You get better and better the more you produce, so your ‘mediocre’ is actually quite excellent, comparatively

2) You have more breakthrough ideas, and the quality of an idea will often outshine its presentation

3) Once you’ve got *something* to work with, you can quickly refine & polish it so it jumps up a few levels in excellence

All that to say: I developed The Externalize System for getting your out of your head and into the world that leverages your lack of time + quantity + frequency to produce influential work.

It now takes 45-90 minutes — sometimes less! — for me to write a week of social content & sales emails.

And it’s not because I became a faster writer. I’m actually a painfully slow writer.

It’s because now I have a totally different workflow (EXTERNALIZE!) for producing.

And THAT’s what will finally get those thoughts out of your head and into the world where they can actually be useful to other people.

No willpower required.

FACTS. DM me to learn to rock the Externalize system for yourself so you can stop getting whipsawed by time, circumstance & the critical voices in your head and start transforming all those genius ideas of yours into finished work that makes a difference -- in your business AND in the lives of other people.
The REAL problem getting in the way of your revenue breakthrough is not knowing what your client is trying to buy and the exact words that get them thinking HELL YES THIS IS THE ONE, SIGN ME UP.⁠
⁠
And that’s the reason you’re creating content and getting crickets instead of sales and trying all the marketing things but still not generating the revenue your work deserves.⁠
⁠
Here’s how you shift this, fast:⁠
⁠
💰️⚡️🥂Forensically uncover what your client actually wants to buy and then develop precise, irresistible, client-centred language using the *Speak Client so You Get Clients System* that turns your readers into buyers & your offers into REVENUE⁠
⁠
💰️⚡️🥂Systematically name out every step & tool in your method with hell-yes let-me-buy-it-right-now language using the *Name It Money Framework* so that your client knows, at every step, that you’ve got the exact solution they’ve been seeking⁠
⁠
💰️⚡️🥂Stop over-posting random content and start using the exact post/email recipe (the Social Money System Frameworks & Templates) that delivers non-stop sales and then use that winning system, over and over again⁠
⁠
That’s how you make your message so strategic, precise and magnetic that your dream clients sign up on the spot and pay in full *right now* instead of 10 months from now…⁠
⁠
...and you never have to fret about the algorithm again (it was never the problem; it was always the message) while getting more payment notifications.⁠
⁠
This is the work I do with you in my on-demand training, THE MONEY MESSAGING BUNDLE, and in my high-proximity, high-accountability, get-shit-done program, THE MONEY MESSAGING MASTERMIND. ⁠
