1 simple hack to differentiate yourself and stand out


'Why are you doing this?

For fun, laughter, peace and joy.'

Growing up, we used to answer with, 'for fun, laughter, peace and joy' if we didn't have any particular reason for doing something.

Recently, when I meditate and journal about why I want to:

  • have a successful career
  • hit my revenue and income goals
  • build financial resilience for our future like our retirement and our kids' college fund,

or pretty much any goal I'm working towards, it ultimately leads back to the same reason:

For fun, laughter, peace and joy.

  • to have fun and laughter with loved ones fill my days
  • to have peace of mind that everything will be taken care of
  • to feel joy in my heart and all the good vibes - gratitude, fulfilment, well-being

So yes, ultimately, I do what I do for fun, laughter, peace, and joy.

There's so much wisdom in the simple basics.

Returning to these simple basics and doing them well is becoming a central theme in my life lately.

No need to overcomplicate.

No need to waver and feel overwhelmed.

Just keep your eye on the simple basics.

And focus on doing these few simple basics well.

Reader, why do you do what you do?

Why do you want what you want in your business or career?

In your finances?

In your health?

Or anything important in your life?

Is it for fun, laughter, peace and joy too?

Or something else?

I'm a big fan of journaling as a tool to access your subconscious thoughts.

So I'd recommend writing these down and allowing your thoughts and feelings about them to come through.

Keep it to the simple basics - then focus on doing them better than everyone else.

This is how you'll stand out and differentiate yourself among the sea of everyone else doing too much, too soon.

Have a great week ahead.

Reader, Working moms like me always love it when I discover a way to do more with less time so I can spend it with my family and doing things I love. In this week's podcast episode, I answer the question I get asked all the time, 'How do you work full-time, take care of your kids, and run a business on the side?' It's all about being intentional about your time and energy. But what does that even mean or look like in real life? I share 7 steps you can do more with less time in this week's...

Reader, Nobody ever has spare cash or time lying around. But when it matters, somehow you find it. Like signing your kids up for activities they want, buying your loved ones a fancy birthday dinner, or in my case, investing in myself and my dream business. Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...

Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity. I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time.
