What to Do when Things aren’t working in your Business and you feel like Giving up EP172


FU*CK IT! I QUIT!

These four words have been said dozens of times over my twelve years of being an entrepreneur. Most recently, I said them right at the start of the New Year.

Yes while everyone was “New Year, New You’ing” (gag) my heart got shattered into a million pieces when I suddenly and unexpectedly lost my fur-baby, baked potato, bird bean, princess, tootles, Ms. Molly.

It happened so dramatically that my nervous system is still processing the event and my PTSD was heavily triggered. On top of that I was in hard-core pre-launch mode for my signature sales course, and I’m in my busy season for both of my businesses.

Then just two days later Mike and I got food poisoning, which left me non-functional for 48 hours.

My inbox was exploding, my voicemail was full, I had over 65 unread texts, and well over a hundred DM’s, plus a mile long time-sensitive to-do list…so I did what all seasoned mutli-millionaires do and I screamed, “FU*CK IT! I QUIT! This is just too much for me!”

Every time I say it, yell it, cry it, and think it, I mean it at the time yet I would never truly quit. It’s my way of crying “MERCY” and waving the white flag. I know you have been there too, whether it’s with your career, your business, your marriage, your kids, or your laptop.

I’ve decided to bring you along, and share how I process and move through those times when I just want to quit it all. This episode is raw and next level real, but it’s important for you to see how I manage when the sh*t hits the fan. After all, we know its not all Bali and butterflies everyday.

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.

Ep 817 The “Everything is Going to Sh!t” Phase before Your BIGGEST Quantum Leap w/ Shamina Taylor, Attorney Turned Wealth Expert

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.
