Don’t Fall for this BS Business Advice Being Pushed on Social Media EP341


If you’re looking for the short cut, you will end up at a dead end.

We’ve all done it many times, bought the product that helped hundreds of people lose weight, the $49 course that said it would tell you all of the secrets to growing a massive Instagram following, and then say to ourselves, “ugh that was such a waste of money.”

The reason marketers come at you with the short cuts and the easy way to accomplish your goals is by nature, humans are lazy, and we want fast, cheap, and easy.

You can’t create great wealth by taking cheap actions.

Sadly all of these shortcuts you are trying to take are actually delaying you from making the money you want. I’m writing this to you today, to shock you back to reality.

Anyone who’s alluding to or making claims that they build a highly profitable business with little effort, only working when they generally felt like it, IS NOT TELLING YOU THE FULL STORY.

Of course the fantasy land part of our brains wants to buy into this illusion that you can simply post when you feel aligned, mention your product or offer a couple times a week, all while traveling the globe…this is also part of the manipulative marketing that is working on many people.

It sounds a lot nicer, more comfortable, and a hell of lot more fun then how I paint the picture getting to 25K, 50K, and 100K months. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not available for doing anything that is unnecessarily hard, but to say that I’ve built this level of wealth without any hard work, would be straight up BULLSH*T.

If you want the cash, the lifestyle, and the freedom that I’ve got….here’s what it took to build it and maintain it:

  1. Show up on repeat regardless of whether I felt like it or not that day (I’m not talking about abandoning my health or needs here…I’m not talking about showing up for your dreams on the crappy and unmotivated days).
  2. Investing back into my business. The best shortcut is to hire coaches, contract workers, and employees who have done it and made the mistakes. This way you can leverage their knowledge and skill sets to save time and money.
  3. A heaping dose of patience and determination. Without either of these, you will end up quitting, because not everything you touch will turn to gold no matter if you are Rihanna, Oprah, or Kim K. The down times really suck, and the results never happen as quickly as you want them to.

I go into more detail on this podcast episode of what is really required to make it big in business, and then you can decide if it’s still a ride worth taking.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
