I often get asked, "Rosetta, how can I stop procrastinating on my goals?" Although it's a valid question, the truth is that when it comes to creating the life you REALLY want, taking consistent action is only one part of the equation. It's also important to look within so you can understand the beliefs that are preventing you from moving forward. In this episode, I cover: The #1 belief that holds you back from getting what you want How to identify what YOUR specific limiting beliefs are A simple way to install new beliefs so that you can begin to literally reprogram your brain and start seeing results Resources From This Episode: Secure Your Ticket for the Manifest Your Vision Tour Apply for a Free Breakthrough Session Join the Happy Black Woman Private Facebook Group Follow Rosetta on Instagram @happyblackwoman

I'm back from an amazing weekend in Atlanta where I hosted my 5th and final Launch Your Business LIVE Boot Camp! After years of working with hundreds of Black women entrepreneurs, I've noticed how important it is for us to have open and honest conversations about self-care, boundaries and putting ourselves first. At the event, I was able to coach several women on how to let go of situations that no longer served them, which inspired this episode. I explore 3 areas where you may need to "spring clean" your life, including action steps you can take in your relationships, business/career and environment.
