I help people find freedom from a habit that’s taken over their life with my Broken to Badass class and community. I have watched all the videos for week one and have time blocked for the assignments. Whew!

I remembered the experience a few days ago and just wanted to share it for grins and giggles. I can do that now but at the time it was a challenge. Many years ago I had a studio I worked out of behind my home. I taught yoga & meditation classes, saw clients for healing and did foot reflexology. One day a woman from the yellow pages called me to put a listing in the yellow pages. This was before energy work or even yoga was well known. Massage was beginning to grow so she suggested I put my ad under massage. When the new book came out I was horrified to find that my listing was in the section with women of the night! I came right after Harrisburg Fantasy Girls. OMG. For the next year + any time I got a phone call from a man I had to be really, really clear about what I actually do and don't do. One evening I did have a man insist that this was what he wanted but I felt really nervous. He mentioned that his friends said it would help him relax. I had my daughter lock the doors to the house. If he was expecting a different happy ending he didn't get it. It may have been an undercover cop checking me out also. I still had to fight the phone company. A letter from an attorney did the trick. The ad should have been placed under Massage Therapy! I hadn't looked, I trusted the sales rep to know. How about you? Any crazy business stories?

We want to take a moment to recognize and congratulate our Member of the Week, @Susan Kline ! Susan consistently shows up in our community with curiosity, perseverance, vulnerability, and kindness. In fact, I just said to her last week that her vulnerability often gives the rest of us a permission slip to share our own. We are so excited to continue to watch your journey as an Undependent Woman and all of the amazing things you are putting together including your YouTube channel! Congrats Susan!

I have been watching the wildness of the crypto market the last 2 months and was reminded of something very important when it comes to growing wealth. It would've been very easy to panic in September when the values were dropping or act based on FOMO when they began to sharply climb again in October. But successful wealthy people know that the name of the game is to take informed, consistent action. And over time, the assets and investments will grow. It's like this in so many areas of life.... With exercise, we can't depend fully on motivation because more days than not, our subconscious is going to scream at us to just stay in bed or take it easy. But a committed plan of exercise with incremental gains each week will make us stronger. And it's the same with building a business. If there's one thing I've learned, building a business will test you like nothing else. It'll test your resolve, your commitment, your stamina, your sanity...... It's like an Ashram full of lessons where you have to look deep into your psyche to find where your wounds are holding you back. But staying the course with consistent action even on the worst days ensures we are moving forward. There's nothing wrong with having feelings and emotions, and I think it's important to recognize when they are taking us off track from meeting our goals. We can spend time with them and realize they are only temporary instead of letting them take us out of the game for long periods of time. And when we've put the work in and feel proud of ourselves, we can put on a classic RomCom and have a good cry fest! How do you overcome those moments where the emotions might be keeping you from accomplishing what you want?
