A MASTERMIND FOR CREATORS & INNOVATORS

with-April-and-Mayi Before

DO YOU FEEL LIKE THINGS ARE OKAY IN YOUR BUSINESS BUT YOU’RE MISSING THAT “ONE MAGIC PIECE?”

The one thing that’s going to pull everything together so you can break away from living sale to sale or spending 87% of your time replying to other people’s urgent emails, instead of doing what you do best: CREATE and INNOVATE.

You see Instagram accounts filled with workcations to Cape Town and Paris, everyone keeps bragging about their 7-figure launches, and YouTubers are getting invited to dance on Ellen.

I mean…if a man on the internet made it for sensually sprinkling salt on a perfectly deboned steak, so can you!

We believe in you!

OR MAYBE YOU’RE MISERABLE WITH NO IDEA WHERE TO START HOPING A BUSINESS FAIRY WILL DESCEND FROM THE HEAVENS AND FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS IN A BIBIDI BABIDI BOO.

Perhaps, you’ve built something but you still feel lost.

Perhaps, you’ve hit the ceiling in your business and you finally need to get yourself a team, but you have no idea who to hire first, where to find them or how to get them up and running. (And, you don’t want to say any of this out loud because you don’t know if you “have the budget” yet.)

Perhaps, you’re missing the passion and you’re afraid to admit that you don’t actually enjoy making jewelry eight hours a day, especially when you also have to blog about it, send emails about it and talk about it on 8 social media platforms.

Perhaps, you’re in love with your creative work, when you actually get to do your creative work. Lately, it seems that you’re too worried whether you should order a matcha green tea latte with coconut milk (what you really want) or a frappuccino with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle in the middle of frigid February for a prettier picture and more likes on Instagram.

It’s crazy how many of us leave sucky day jobs to run businesses we feel ‘meh’ about.

Instead of building a creative empire around the lives we want to live, we’ve let our businesses dictate how we live to the point of exhaustion and frustration.

But, it can be different. It should be different.

Picture this.

You could wake up each morning without an alarm clock because you actually want to brew a cup of herbal tea and get to work.

You could get to a place where you have to force yourself to stop working to take breaks to eat lunch and take your daily 45-minute walk. To a place where you kinda feel guilty, like you’re stealing cookies out of the jar, because you have so much fun every day.

You could be at brunch with your girlfriends and they’re all complaining about their lives and you’re nodding along but really you want to break out into a cheesy grin and sing Good to Be Alive by Andy Grammer. (Oh crap, they caught you smiling. You force a frown.)

You could be energized and exhausted (in that good, I’ve worked hard all day, kinda way) at the end of the day. You cook dinner with your love (read: watch him cook while you do tastings for quality control). You sip a glass of wine (or two) and then do things we can’t discuss here because we try to keep it PG.

You could be that mom (or cool auntie) that has time to do craft projects with the kids. And by “crafts” we mean baking sugar cookies with 6-inches of frosting, and eating the entire batch.

You could sleep soundly knowing you can pay your next electricity bill and afford organic strawberries (and cute red flats topped with bows).

You could actually love your business instead of wishing you did, while secretly comparing yourself to strangers on the internet who all seem to be having money pillow fights on their yachts.

After

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, BUT WHEN YOU DO IT RIGHT ONCE IS ENOUGH.

Creative work is not a selfish act. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. If you don’t pursue your unique gifts, you not only hurt yourself. You hurt us. You hurt the planet. Everyone loses.

You’ve got one life. And this wonderful thing called the web. Like, seriously. You can start a business with less than $100. You can connect to millions of people all over the world, for free.

You could share your writing. You could teach online knitting courses. You could design patterns. You could leave your mark so everyone knows you were here.

INTRODUCING OPERATION WORLD DOMINATION:

A Mastermind for Creatives and Innovators

Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?

The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

Chorus: They’re Pinky, They’re Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain!

12901031_10154070146103756_5499407430179448931_o “My B-School experience would have been very different if I hadn’t joined through Mayi and April. The B-School FB group was great, but I found that anytime I wanted help or support during the course, my first stop was the the Operation World Domination FB group because it was a smaller, more intimate community, and I feel like I received more thoughtful and supportive advice from the ladies there.”

BENEFITS

WHAT MAKES OUR OFFER OUT OF THIS WORLD

+ We care enough to give you less.

    We got rid of all the fluff for you. All the extra crap you really don’t need and will likely never use. That’s called clutter, and clutter just takes up space in your hard drive. You don’t need more. You need better.

+We’re giving you our most valued possession – us.

    A shoulder to lean on. A warm virtual hug when things get scary. A pep talk. A hand to drag you to the finish line if it comes down to it.

+ There are two of us.

    Know what that means? That’s right, double the fun and double the trouble. We bring out the best in each other, and we bring out the best in YOU. We will challenge you to step into your zone of genius and grow to your fullest potential.

+We attract and bring together the most incredible people, who will soon become your virtual gang.

    Lasting friendships will unfold. Doors to collaborate will open. You might even meet your new business partner in crime.

+ That feeling of “holy crap what do I do now?” while taking over the world is gone.

    Ciao. Hasta la vista baby. We’re your family now. And when someone messes with family we break into a whole new level of crazy and become karma (and we make it look like an accident.)

April and Mayi - OWD

We know you can’t possibly buy everything you see on the internet. But! If you’re planning on treating yo’ self and invest in your business acceleration this year, we promise you, this is it!

Private-Facebook-Clubhouse

Private Facebook Clubhouse

You’ll become an instant member of a tight-knit group of likeminded individuals who are learning about and struggling with the same things. Ever wish you could connect with a group of creative entrepreneurs that are almost like family? A group that wants to see you succeed and gives you regular support and encouragement, along with constructive feedback? That’s what you get with Operation World Domination.

It’s pretty much the BEST accountability group of all time.

Each week, we’ll pop the theme we’re covering into the Facebook group so that you can get your questions ready for us. You’ll also have the opportunity to promote your latest blog post or brag about your most recent win each Saturday.

You’ll feel like you found your wolfpack. A sisterhood who gets it.

The Facebook group is for the members, run mostly by the members. We won’t be in the group, answering your questions, but that’s because we will answer all your questions during the calls.

The-Coolest-Mug

The Coolest Mug in the World

We’re also sending you an exclusive present in the mail. An emblem that you belong to our gang. A little daily reminder that you are one of the few who is daring to show up GREATLY to do what is needed to make this world better.

We’ve gotten many requests from creatives who want to buy this mug from us, but joining our mastermind is the only way to make this your morning coffee vessel.

Sunday Society

Life-is-Messy-Bootcamp

Life is Messy Bootcamp

1 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION Life is Messy Bootcamp® is a planning club for girl bosses at the verge of pulling their hair out. It’s an online program, training playground and vibrant community that cuts through the hype-y fantasies around being your own CEO (like working 4-hour weeks while dipping your feet in warm sand), and instead teaches you how to use your messy life data to design a life you love and build a profitable creative empire.

More than 7,000 creative entrepreneurs have used this loved, proven system to show mess who’s boss and make room for genius work.

In a nutshell, the goal of Life is Messy Bootcamp is to help you:

+ Clarify the journey ahead and stay focused. In other words, windshield-whip the shiny objects and negative brain chatters and haters that obstruct your vision to the top of your North Star. Do I hear a Hallelujah? + Centralize everything in one place. Let me say that again ladies: ONE PLACE to store to-dos, tasks, appointments, notes, doodles, journal entries, goals… you name it, there’s a place for it. Keep it all together. No more hunting down Post-Its like a crazy person. + Turn “I should do that” into superstar habits you can actually stick to and automate that make you happy. Heroic 007 stunts are great for Bond, James Bond, but in real life it’s all about the tiny day-to-day calls that pay off big time. + Declutter your mind and declutter your world, so you can spend less time looking for sh*t and more time doing work that matters. + Checkmark your bucket list, minus the overwhelmed mental constipation and insomnia typically associated with military-like productivity systems. Yuck! + Fatten your piggy bank so money can finally can stop being a crap excuse as to why you can’t live more or pursue your passion projects in your Buzz Lightyear jammies with a sense of worthiness. + Laugh more, because what’s the point of alphabetizing your entire spice cabinet if you’re a Grumpy Grinch? Sherri “The live calls really have been amazing. I can’t even begin to express how wonderful this group is and what an enormous treat it is to get to be a part of such a genuine circle of messy entrepreneurs. I thank Mayi for being 100% herself and holding a space for us to be authentic and embrace all that we are! There really is no other group that holds a light to the one Mayi has created with Life is Messy Bootcamp.”

-Sherri Calosso
Mayi - OWD -4

Allison “Life is Messy Bootcamp is like an interactive role playing game of messy mayhem and Mayi, the online drill-sergeant/ pixie cheerleader, guides you through the maze step-by-step with a Fairy Wand of Joy through color, laughter, acceptance, support, and astonishingly effective organization. Mayi’s artistic planners give my unruly lists a truly workable and whimsical home that magically express how I actual feel when I am using them.”

BEHIND THE SCENES OF SIX B-SCHOOL LAUNCHES

Do you get giddy over deep author interviews at the end of some novels where the authors explain why they made certain decisions in their writing, like why they killed off a beloved character or when they made the choice that Kate would end up with Todd instead of Jack?

Or what about tabloid magazines who tell you who’s zooming who?

Or when you tune into a webinar where the entrepreneur isn’t waiting until you pay them a thousand dollars to tell you something good but opens up on how she created her portfolio and landed a licensing deal without paying for a booth at a trade show, including the step-by-step process of learning Adobe InDesign, hand-making the book that became her portfolio, how she decided what to include in her portfolio, the exact emails she sent to the companies she wanted to meet with to potentially get licensing deals with and more?

We love that stuff, too. It’s better than vegan pizza and fuzzy slippers and sleeping in.

When it comes to business, it’s the info you can learn the most from, get the most Oprah-level a-ha moments from, conjure the best ideas from and directly apply it to your business (and, if you haven’t noticed–which you probably have because it becomes frustrating and annoying after awhile, it’s what nobody seems to go into great detail about).

Most entrepreneurs either want to keep those secrets to themselves or don’t want to put in the work to share them (because it takes a lot more time and energy than sharing theory), even though it’s what would help their clients the most.

That’s why we created this feature for Operation World Domination.

We’re putting together the EXACT step-by-step method of how we’re marketing and launching Operation World Domination this year.

We’re sharing every single covert plan, including conversations, emails, WhatsApp messages, unseen designs and more.

We’ll tell you what worked and what didn’t. How much money we spent, how much time we spent on everything, what we would do again, what we would change and more.

You’ll receive a book with all these details on April 27th. (For those of you taking B-School, this is your B-School graduation gift! YAY! For those of you in Operation World Domination, this is your get-pumped-up to start the mastermind in a little over a week gift!)

If you’ve ever wondered what an entire launch looks like from beginning to end, strap on your seat belt. We’re about to hand over our classified playbook to you.

Along with this A-to-Z guidebook, we’re hosting a live call to talk through the past six years of B-School launches. SIX YEARS!

We’ve learned so much over the last six years of being affiliates for the same program and launching Operation World Domination again and again.

We’re going to tell you how we started, what we’ve changed and why, what’s worked and what hasn’t, and go into even more details about this year’s launch.

And, of course, you can ask questions.

We’re adding this live call to the first week of Operation World Domination! That week we’ll have two live calls…oh yeah! Get ready for a double round of pajama parties.

This is different than anything else, because of the details and personalization. This is not another “ideas for your launch” or “launch checklist” or “an overview of my launch including everything you can already find online if you look plus how much money I made.”

We created the product we want to buy from someone else. FOR. YOU.

with-April-and-Mayi

BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN B-SCHOOL THROUGH OUR LINK

When we went through B-School, it was a large program with hundreds of students but now B-School has grown to thousands of students.

Marie is pretty amazing on the Q&A calls, answering questions for hours, but there’s no way she could answer every question you have. There’s not enough time in the day.

That’s why we’re offering two Q&A calls–one midway through B-School and one at the end of B-School. We want to make sure that you’re heard and you don’t get stuck somewhere along the way because you couldn’t get your questions answered.

If you can’t make the Q&A calls live, you’ll have the chance to submit your questions ahead of time and watch the replay for our answers.

We’re veterans, having been through the program for six years. We know where creative entrepreneurs get stuck and we know how to help them get out of the muck and find clarity.

WHO THIS IS PERFECT FOR?

WE WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU

Ideal-Client-edited

Operation World Domination is the best fit for creative entrepreneurs.

Artists. Jewelry designers. Website designers. Cupcake makers. Yoga Instructors. Writers. Magicians. Personal Trainers. Illustrators. Coaches. Speakers. People who truly want to make a contribution and generate good money in the process.

It’s for the creative who suffers from ‘look a squirrel’ syndrome and needs help focusing. The woman who has lots of ideas and jumps from project to project, so she still doesn’t have a flagship program. Maybe she’s been working on it for the past two years. She knows what she’s meant to do in this world, but she can’t seem to get her butt in the chair to do the work. This intense eight-week mastermind, along with access to Sunday Society and Life is Messy Bootcamp will help this creative finally GET. IT. DONE.

Operation World Domination is for the creative who dislikes marketing. Maybe she hates marketing, maybe she just prefers her creative work. Either way, she wants someone to help her get her products or services in front of more of the right people while cutting her blogging/email/social media time in half. She doesn’t want the coveted multi-million dollar business, because she doesn’t want to run a huge team or work 17 hours a day. She’d be over-the-moon happy if she made $30,000 in her next launch or $150,000 this year. She wants to make enough money to run and grow her business, hire an assistant to do the things she doesn’t love, have a comfy savings, go on nice vacations with her family and go on the occasional Anthropologie shopping spree. Whenever someone says, “I’ll teach you how to make millions of dollars,” she’s automatically turned off.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR?

PLEASE DON’T BUY, WE ARE NOT A GOOD FIT Pita-Client-edited

It’s not for everyone.

It’s not for the entrepreneur who expects to be taught by someone in a suit or sweater set. Do silly accessories or slippers (that you can’t even see in a video call) bother you? If so, this isn’t for you.

It’s not for someone who won’t download Chrome or Firefox onto her computer to watch a two-hour free webinar that’s packed with value and comes with 25 pages of done-for-you notes, because that’s “too much work.”

It’s not for the person who is looking for shortcuts to billions of dollars. Do you dream of running a team of 36 and working super long hours to earn millions? Then, this isn’t for you. There’s nothing wrong with money, my friend. We both love it. But, we work best with creatives who are looking to build a smaller online empire. A team of two or three with a website coder on standby for big launches. A dream of making six figures.

It’s not for the person who can’t imagine sharing someone else’s work with their audience, because it might take some of the attention away from them. We’re all about abundance at Operation World Domination. The more one succeeds, the more the others succeed.

DianaSilvaCrop “Operation World Domination is everything a girl boss might need to take an important project and change her life forever. Believe that it’s the perfect group to get together, it’s not just business, it’s friendship and tons of fun and useful information.​”

BIO-Mayi-Carles CatherineRains-OWD “You created a very intimate community so that I truly felt like I was going through the experience with a group of like minded friends. I also found an amazing accountability partner from the group – we like to say that we are the next Mayi and April! The personal attention to answer ALL of our questions in the weekly meetings made all the difference. It made the material come alive on a whole new level, and helped me figure out how to personally apply it to my art biz.”

Madeline-OWD “It was also great being in a group of women that I could build a relationship with. I’ve always been a small group/individual kind of person, so the idea of trying to mingle with the thousands of B-School 2016 participants was TOTALLY overwhelming. Having our own small group was exactly what I needed to feel invested and included in B-School.”

F.A.Q

GOT QUESTIONS? WE’RE SURE YOU DO

Whether you’re thinking about joining Operation World Domination or OWD and B-School, we bet you have questions.

We had millions of questions when we were considering B-School. Picture intense nail-biting, bank account staring, long conversations with our husbands and ice cream-binges. The process is intense. The decision is scary. We know. We know.

You might even be recycling your temptation to join from last year or even the year before that. Your thoughts are probably racing: “Everyone is doing it, I don’t want to fall behind.” “Am I ready?” and “What if I already know the material and I just need to apply it?”

We know the drill. That’s why we’ve put together a list of our most asked questions.

Q: What’s the difference between Operation World Domination and B-School?

A: They tackle two different things. Through taking B-School, you’ll learn everything you need to know to get your online business up and running. Through Operation World Domination, you’ll become apart of a much smaller group of women and work on five main things: 1) making business FUN 2) ditching your procrastination habits 3) establishing your flagship program 4) building a stand out brand and 5) what to do now to start making money.

In OWD, you also get year-long memberships to both Life is Messy Bootcamp and Sunday Society. That means, you’ll have a year of live calls you can attend to ask questions, get feedback and find support.

You don’t need to take B-School to take Operation World Domination or vice versa. They just complement each other well.

Q: What’s the difference between Life is Messy Bootcamp and Sunday Society?

A: Life is Messy Bootcamp is a planning club for girl bosses who need help getting their sh*t together. Through core masterclasses, quarterly planning workshops, fun community challenges, a private FB clubhouse, decluttering prompts, the prettiest planners and monthly messy hours, Mayi will help you grab mess by the horns and make room for genius work.

Sunday Society is not an online course or training program. It’s meant to give you access to April and the other members to get help with whatever stage you’re at NOW in your business. You can join Q&A calls to ask all your business-related questions. You can treasure hunt through the list of topics we’ve already covered to find replays to watch while folding laundry or doing your hair and makeup for the day. It’s more a group coaching program than an online course.

Q: When will you offer this again?

A: We always get this question but we can’t ever give a clear answer. We don’t know. We didn’t offer this exact package last year or any year before, so we can’t say what we’ll work on together next year. Last year’s package didn’t include the behind-the-scenes marketing playbook and live call and we might not put that together again next year. We wish we had a magic 8-ball so we could let you know. We may never offer this exact package ever again. If you want in, join now.

Q: Why are so many people promoting B-School?

A: We know that B-School overwhelm is REAL and happens when Marie launches B-School each year. Inboxes are flooded with reasons to join B-School and bonus packages.

Some people assume that it’s because the people promoting B-School get a large slice of the sale. We do receive part of the payment, but if we didn’t, we wouldn’t be able to offer a bonus package (that includes are flagship programs and much more) for free.

And, we wouldn’t promote B-School just for the money. We have our own flagship programs to market but we got so much out of B-School and are able to work together to give the women who join through us even more value, so it’s a no-brainer for us.

Q: Why should I choose your bonus package over another?

A: You should choose the package you think is the best fit for YOU. What do you need the most help with?

If you’re looking to work through B-School with a smaller group of women, ours is a good fit. If you want a little handholding after B-School (believe us when we say you’ll be overwhelmed by all the homework), you’ll go through our mastermind and get access to live calls with both of us separately through year-long memberships to our programs.

If you’re looking for a bonus where the leader(s) will be around, encouraging you along the way, we’d pick us. The women who joined through us last year told us that they couldn’t imagine going through the program without us–without the calls and FB group.

We’re soooooooooooo proud of that! We take being your B-School guides seriously, because we know you’re making a big investment.

Q: How do I know if this is the right year for me to take B-School?

A: It’s never going to feel like it’s the “right time” for something like this. You’re taking B-School because you’re not completely satisfied with your business, and you want to know what to do to fix it.

You’ve got one life–one shot. Why wait? The best part about joining B-School is that you get lifetime access to the program. You don’t have to go through everything within those eight weeks. So, if you have a vacation in the middle of the program or you had a baby six months ago, we recommend jumping on board if you think B-School is the right fit for you even if it takes you more time to go through the material.

Everyone has something going on during B-School. Life doesn’t wait. You have to make time to change your life.

Q: How much time will I need to invest in Operation World Domination and B-School?

A: This is another one of those questions that we always get but have a difficult time answering. It depends on where you’re at in your business and how much effort you want to put into these programs. You probably already know that you could spend every second of every day on creating and marketing. And, what you put in is what you get out.

Q: When will the mastermind calls for Operation World Domination take place?

A: After B-School. That way those of you taking B-School won’t be crushed with the overwhelm of two major programs going at the same time.
For those of you who aren’t taking B-School but are signing up for OWD, we recommend that you take the next eight weeks to get your business ready for the mastermind.

What does that mean, you might wonder…

    + Write your first (or next) blog post
    + Get your website up and running or maybe just a landing page
    + Sell something or try to sell something
    + Figure out your biggest business struggles (so we can help you with them on the calls!)
    + Have a chat with one of your favorite customers to get to know her better
    + Think about what you really want to get out of our mastermind
    + Send out weekly emails to your list so you start to figure out what works and what doesn’t
    + Get over your fear of live video and do your first FB Live and/or Instagram Live
    + Pick a social media platform to focus on and be social–creatively share your products/services, interact with one new person each week, post regularly

If you do some work before we get started, you’ll have a lot more questions and get more out of our mastermind. We want you to make the most of OWD!

Q: What day of the week and time will the mastermind calls for Operation World Domination take place?

A: We schedule them on all different days and times to accommodate all schedules and give all participants an opportunity to join some of the calls live.

Q: What makes us qualified to run this B-School bonus package?

A: Well, have you seen our faces on the B-School page, under the “success stories?” Yep, you’ll find them there.

We’ve also built our dream businesses around our dream lifestyles. If that’s what you’re looking to do, we’re a good pair of leaders for you. We’ll tell you exactly how we did it and what you can learn from us.

You should also read our bios on this page…it’ll tell you a little about us if you don’t know our history. We’ve done some pretty cool things like teach at CreativeLive and work with Kate Spade.

704387_4164699995629_1746251922_o (1) “I really feel like some of my biggest break through moments came through April and Mayi, while taking B-school. In fact the biggest AHA moment I ever had was while on a call with Mayi. She basically told me to “get ahold of myself, quit asking so many questions and own my path.” This was a HUGE AHA moment for me. While it stung in the moment, on reflection it changed my business forever. I quit obsessing and caring so much about what other people thought and how everyone else was doing things and focused on my own business. This made HUGE changes, it was after that moment that I had my first 5 figure month!”

-Wendy Cranford

Didn’t see your question answered? Still have hesitations?

We’re hosting a Q&A with the one and only Marie Forleo.

Yep…you read that right. The beautiful haired marketing goddess who designed the B-School program will answer your B-School questions and we’ll hold your sweaty hands along the way.

Marie hosts quite a few Q&A calls about B-School, but this one is just for YOU.

It’s going to be more intimate and less overwhelming. It’ll feel more like a chat with girlfriends and less like a huge conference where you’re taking the mic in front of thousands. Ready to hang with Marie, Mayi and April? CLICK BELOW TO REGISTER.

Screen Shot 2017-02-15 at 12.01.02 AM “If you’re considering B-school, you need support to get through B-school, not an extra unrelated course. Mayi and April have created something so fun, but practical and supportive. It’s not an extra thing you don’t need, it’s a thing to help you do the thing you’ve already committed to doing. Some people can do B-school without the smaller community/accountability/support, but that wasn’t the case for me, and OWD was perfect. If you vibe with Mayi and/or April, and want to hang out with them for 8 weeks, AND rocket your business in a way that feels really good for you, B-school and OWD is an incredible combo.”

ARE YOU READY?

OF COURSE YOU’RE NOT 3

Look, we know you’re on the verge of making a BIG, potentially life-changing investment.

Perhaps, like us seven years back, your heart is racing at 1000mph just by the thought of joining Operation World Domination or Operation World Domination and B-School. But it doesn’t matter at what stage of your business you’re at, I know, you’re not ready. No matter how much you desire it, “now” is NOT the perfect time.

We’re not witches. Remember, we were there.

The way we see it is this: When you think about where you are “now” and try to make a decision from that frame of mind, of course there’s no way in hell you can afford anything, so your default response is always: “I’ll pass. Maybe next time, if I work harder or win the lottery. Or a pony.”

When you’re thinking about investing in something GRAND that will change the way you live, love, work, parent and look at yourself in the mirror, you can’t let the actual version of you that’s not there yet make the call. Hellz no. That decision will be made from a place of scarcity, short sightedness, limitations and contractions. Dangerous.

Let’s try this one more time.

When you’re thinking about investing in something SO BOLD and AUDACIOUS IT HURTS that will change the way you live, love, work, parent and look at yourself in the mirror, you need to bring forward Fierce (you know, your alter-ego?) or the you of the future, the one you dream of becoming – a more fearless and wiser you that’s traveling back in time to rescue you from yourself, your current stuckness and self-sabotaging trolls.

You want to sell out your next program? You want to make an extra 5K a month? You want to double your list size? Then you have to invest like a person who sells out her programs, makes an extra 5K a month and has a list double your size, not a person who has no program (yet), hasn’t turned her passions into profit (yet) and has a mailing list of 3 (for now), one of which could or could not be her mom.

See what we’re sayin’ sistah?

When you make investments based on where you want to be and who you want to become rather than where you are “now”, you tell the Universe, “I’m coming for it”. And just like that, by cosmic synchronicity, you attract the unimaginable.

Remember: You aren’t ready “now”, but you will be. You were born to ease your way into READY!

+

    Trust the messy middle.

+

    Having a nervous breakdown is part of the process.

+

    Get comfortable with the discomfort.

+

    Be smarter than your brain chatter and act in spite of being afraid.

+

    Do something today that your future self will bear hug you for next year.

Screen Shot 2017-02-15 at 12.23.37 AM “Mayi and April are absolute cheerleaders’ when dealing with learning how to create an online presence. They are happy and extremely talented, each in their own right. If you like design, Mayi will definitely inspire you. And April is great with copy. They have a tight community and are super easy to reach. Mayi was actually the person to inspire me and to show me that having a profitable online business from Panama was completely possible. I don’t know why I was mentally blocked and thought that you could only achieve this lifestyle if living abroad (crazy I know!).”
