“The Expectation Hanover” and Other Things that are Zapping your Motivation and Productivity EP377

You’re being a control freak and may not even realize it.

When my longtime Manifestation Guide said to this to me, I was SHOOK….“You don’t think you’re God do you?”

Me: “ummmmm no of course not.”

Tony: “Your behavior says otherwise.” (all said is a calm beautiful Lebanese accent)

This conversation occurred after I came to him in a dramatic crisis probably for the 13th time that nothing was working in my business, and I’ll have to go back to Corporate Life if clients don’t come in soon.

You see, I was placing demands on the Universe. Instead of praying I was telling God what I needed to have happen and when.

Then when it didn’t happen in my way or in my exact time frame, I would get pissed. “WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO DO HERE GOD?! THROW ME A BONE!!”

It’s normal to slip into controlling behavior when we are scared. We want the discomfort to stop and to stop NOW.

The issue is when we’re in that demanding, controlling energy; we are crazy and not thinking clearly.

This energy comes across as desperate, needy, and thirsty…not exactly an attractive vibe to potential clients is it?

You really have to do your best and surrender the rest…obsessing and analyzing may feel like you are taking action, but you’re only burning yourself out.

I surrender at least 5 times a day, no joke. This isn’t a one and done process.

I’ll be diving into this much deeper inside the episode, and taking you through how I manage my need to control when I’m scared.

Ep 808 Exposing Money Myths that are Capping your Income

What if the beliefs you have about money are quietly limiting how much you earn? In this episode, Tiffany Carter exposes the most common money myths that keep entrepreneurs and high-achieving professionals stuck at the same income level, including the subconscious beliefs that impact earning potential, pricing, selling, and building sustainable wealth.

Many people believe making more money requires working harder, being more talented, or finding the perfect strategy. But often, the biggest barriers to increasing your income are the invisible beliefs and patterns you have developed around money, success, and receiving.

Tiffany breaks down why your relationship with money is emotional, how your experiences growing up can shape your financial decisions, and why changing your money mindset is not about positive thinking, it’s about understanding the psychology behind the choices you make every day.

After building a multi-million-dollar business, I’ve decided to run a public experiment to find out.
