Oh boy, It's NOT possible to teach and learn creativity!

This year, I was challenged on many different levels and realized all over again that challenges made me use my creativity and creative skills more often.

I was also challenged on the professional level because apparently: It's NOT possible to teach and learn creativity. (Here, you can see my eyeballs rolling).

What is possible or not is too often up to our imagination. Catapulting ourselves playfully out of our comfort zones can make us think differently and reimagine how we think, who we are, and what and how we create.

So I took this (impossible) challenge in my hands, looked at it for a while, ignored it, or rather tried to ignore it, hid it in my wardrobe, flashed it in the toilet, threw it out my balcony, and it always came back. A…

Every task I tried or anything I did had to be of high standards. I did not realize that I struggled with perfe…

Protect your peace. Remove the violent space from your mind. Learn to love yourself through your trauma. Let your reflection be evidence of love you pour into yourself!

I’ve spent years giving you pieces of me…trying to fix what was broken in you…on your behalf. Trying to heal you from your wounds and damages. Dodging anger in you unleashed on me due to your insecurities.

Healing your trauma from low self-esteem. While you spent years gaslighting me. I’ve spent years giving you pieces of me because I thought that’s what love was.

But now, I’m shattered and I’m wounded and the pieces of me I really need are long gone, wasted on your selfishness always asking but never giving anything in return.

I don’t blame you… I blame myself. You see, you told me …

This strategy has worked incredibly well for me and the thousands of people in my network, and you can do it even if you're just starting out.

Every time I talk about growing your business online, the first secret I want to share with you is the one that most people ignore and that is seeking out and joining groups where your perfect prospect hangs out.

And of course, the temptation in a group is to always try to sell. I want you to resist that temptation and instead go in and try to add value when you go into these groups.

And let me ask you this. Have you ever been kicked out of a Facebook group for trying to sell in that group? It happens to almost everyone. Let me know in the comments below if you've ever been kicked out of a Facebook group because you came on too strong wit…

In our busy modern lives, we're asked to do things for others on a daily basis. At work, we're often asked to take on extra tasks. At home, we're asked to help around the house. Our friends will ask us for a favor or two every now and then. All of which we will usually say yes to. After all, it's great to help others when you can, right? Well yes, but not all the time. Saying yes to everyone can often leave us with no time to care for ourselves. Before we know it, we're doing 100 tasks a day with 101 more to do tomorrow. This can quickly become overwhelming and exhausting. So how exactly can we overcome such a problem? Learn to say no.Although this may sound horrible at the time, you need to make time for yourself. You can't help anybody if you're burnt out. By taking the time to care for yourself, you…

I was prepping for a speaking gig this week and wondered, do you ever get a case of nerves?

Being nervous about a speaking engagement or even making a difficult decision is so normal. Happens to people all the time.

But when a challenging decision or situation presents itself, you can try reframing it before you proceed.

When a challenging decision is pending, try reframing it before you proceed.

For example, if you experience anxiety before public speaking, a trainer will teach you that the feelings you’re having are not anxiety but are, instead, excitement about being able to speak.

The idea of anxiety is that you’re afraid, nervous, and uneasy. All those things feel bad. By turning your “anxiety” into “excitement,” “energy,” and “passion,” you channel your energy about speaking …
