The Refrigerator Theory: How you‘re making it harder to achieve your goals in business and life EP328

The Refrigerator Theory that will change your life.

I’m willing to share an embarrassing story so you don’t fall into this insane limiting trap.

It all started with a $4000 flat panel refrigerator…one of many purchases for the new house Mike and I bought together.

I’ve calculated it, and this fridge has now cost us >> $57,000 !!! And we still own it!!!

After working perfectly for 2 years, the ice machine stopped working (of course right after the warrantee was up) and it would get completely frozen over.

Between Mike and I, we have both spent hours and hours or time researching how to fix it, trying to fix, complaining about it, and even going and buying ice. All of this time (not including aggravation) based on both of our current rates in our respective fields adds up to 57k.

This type of short sided, money-stubborn thinking has cost me a small fortune in my life and business.

If all of that time we wasted was spent on income generating activities, our entire mega luxury remodel we are doing would be paid for.

So I encourage you to take a look at where are you being short-sided and money- stubborn in your life?

Maybe you are spending hours cleaning your house, when you could pay someone & use that time to build your business.

Maybe you are wasting your breath and time, having the same argument with your partner, when you could put the focus on your own personal development.

Maybe you would have the time and energy to really go all-in on your business, if you hired child care a couple days a week, and the new clients you would bring in, would eventually more than pay that investment back times ten!

Maybe you keep trying to figure out how to build your business on your own, wasting tons of time, when you could have hired sometime like me to show you a proven strategy.

Listen to this episode, where I go deeper into explaining how our behaviors and habits that seem smart are actually blocking our success.

Ep 818 The “Everything Is Going to Shit” Crash Out: How I Handle It in Real Time

What do you do when everything seems to go wrong at once, and you have absolutely no idea how it’s all going to work out?

I was supposed to release a completely different episode today. It was already recorded. Everything was planned. Then I woke up to some major fucking bullshit…followed almost immediately by more bullshit.

So I scrapped the plan and hit record while I was still in it.

This isn’t an episode about resilience from the other side, when everything has worked out and you can package the experience into a beautiful lesson. I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I handle stress, uncertainty, business setbacks and unexpected life problems in REAL TIME, before I know the outcome.

Because when multiple things go wrong at once, your brain loves to take individual problems and turn them into one giant story:
Everything is falling apart.

What if the moment when everything in your life seems to be falling apart at once isn’t proof that you’re going backward, but part of what happens before your biggest expansion?

Wealth expert and creator of The Quantum Woman™ framework Shamina Taylor joins Tiffany for a deeply honest conversation about what a quantum leap actually looks like in real life, including the part nobody wants to talk about: the breakdown before the breakthrough.

Shamina takes us inside her own quantum crash-out, when the successful life she had built began crumbling and forced her to confront what achievement, logic and pushing harder could no longer fix. What came next required emotional healing, identity work, learning to trust the unseen, and completely changing her relationship with money, success and herself.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
