Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3CW7lb2 Today's podcast episode goes into the nitty gritty of How I elevated into overflow. And yes, I teared up a bit sharing my story. I knew that I was capable of so much more than I give myself credit for. I was here to create, to share my gifts with the world, and to make a damn fine living in the process. But my mindset around money was messy. I was a hard worker, but could never KEEP any of it. I was always end up with a big bill or expense that would wipe us back out to scratch. Iāve talked about how Ben was always the person who got us out of jams. But I was tired of always putting the pressure on him. I couldnāt weld or do side hustles like him. My ebay and craigslist game back in the day was weak. But what I alway felt more comfortable with was earning around a traditional 9-5 job. So I worked my ass off to change my mindset that I could get better paying jobs. That I could get side gigs that would pay me well. I knew that I was my biggest obstacle, I was done with holding myself back. Taking Amandaās course helped me realize that I had some pretty low standards when it came to money. I always felt that I couldnāt handle it properly. So I change my mindset. My mantra for that last 3 years has been. >> Iām great with money, and what I donāt know, I hire someone to teach me.<< Ā Thats where Amanda came in. Here videos, which I truly do STILL play over and over. They helped me recognize my limiting beliefs around money. They gave me amazing journal prompts to see what what holding me back and helped TEACH ME how to fix them. They also helped me understand what my energetic minimums and maximums are. Ā But more so than anything. She gave me the TOOLS so that I could fix my money beliefs and use them to always grow my income. The tools that I was using 3+ year ago, are still the same tools that I use today. The only difference is that the numbers have changed. Ā I still set unrealistic goals around money. But now I have the tools to actually take action, get out of my own way and turn my goals into hard cash. Ā Could I have change my money mindset without these videos? Sure. But it would have taken, like 5x a long and caused a lot of heartache in the process. When we want to lose weight, we go to the gym. When we want to further our career, we get certifications or go to school. When we need a procedure done, we go to a doctor. When we want to buy food, we go to the grocery. All over our lives we are constantly paying people to do things we cant or wont do. Ā I donāt believe it has to be different when it comes to money. I was ready and willing to see things differently and make more money than I knew what to do with. So I āhiredā Amanda as my money coach through her videos. They truly changed my life for the better.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3BQ0D5i Its ok to manifest your desires, and dream big. But what most people won't admit to is that they are doing the really big stuff afraid. Shocking right???Ā So that blogger that you admire from afar, she is launching and selling while afraid. Ā That person you admire in the gym? Yup same, they started out afraid and probably didn't know what machines to workout on to get the best bang for their buck. But what they dont admin (most of the time) is the actual steps they use to to manifest their desires WHILE being afraid.Ā Being afraid doesn't meant sitting on your hands and doing nothing. Ā Sometimes it means that you need support. Sometimes it means that you just are not clear on you goals. And sometimes it just means that you need to take inspired action to move through the fear.Ā In this episode, I go through the steps I use to always manifest the things that I want, regardless of being afraid.Ā
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3mSXHQQ I'm so excited to publish the first episode of 2021! You might not know this, but that was the first time I had EVER talked about how I broke arm. Yea,Ā donāt get me wrong. Iāve told extended family and close friends that story. But, I havenāt told anyone else the FULL story. Including the back story of how Ben use to bail us out of tight spots. I definitely didnāt tell anyone about how I use to Uber or cut grass to try and bring in extra money. Plus I give out the detail about my "secret launch" I have always struggled with being to private of a person. I joke all the time that I remember life before the internet and that awful sound that dial up use to make as a kid. (BTW I'm only 32, but still). This launch is taking me so far outside of my comfort zone in regards to sharing HOW I GOT HERE, that its crazy. But with the INTENSE time we all have been going through the last year. Ā I couldn't Ā just stand by any longer and do nothing. Ā I felt called to show up and open up my team and skills to show others how to make money thats not tied to a traditional job. So get ready to listen to me (and Holley) talk about EVERYTHING. Ā Ive missed you all so much.
Episode + Journal Prompts ā Ā https://bit.ly/3rBtBEv On today's episode, I give my perspective on how I'm dealing with the covid-19 virus.Ā But as always I am going deeper than just what we are all dealing with now. Regardless of when you are listening to this episode. It can be now, live, during the covid-19 pandemic.Ā Or it can be during an extremely stressful time in your life.Ā The circumstances doesn't matter.Ā What matters is that I go over some timeless principles that you can use to get grounded and centered. What am I trying to get you grounded and centered?Ā Well, when you are well-rested and not full of stress hormones, you have the brain juice to make the tough decisions with grace. Which means a lot when you have extra stress on your plate. These are the exact methods that I have used when my husband and I both faced extreme health crisis during our marriage.Ā It's also the tools that I have used to deal with death in the family and unrealistic stress and anxiety from our old IT corporate jobs.

Margaretstevens.co/shop --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show NotesĀ I finally got my voice back. Thank god lol. There last few a weeks have been challenging. I had a my third cold in as many months. And this last one was so bad, that it forced me to take a few days off work because I lost my voice, little mermaid style. Now, if you know anything about me, I love a down day like the rest of us. But to completely stop everything except for the basics for a few weeks, is just crazy hard for me. I Love To Work. I Love To Show Up And Make Money. I Love To Talk. My water rowing machine is my vibe. And when my body forced me to stop and rest, well I didnāt take it well. Iāve been trying to more aware when my body forces me to pause. My mindset shift is this, instead of looking at this as something thatās in my way and needs to be overcome. Instead, itās the perfect time to pay attention to whatās not working and fix it. That has been part of my latest evolution with money. Before Money Didnāt Feel Safe To Me, So I Would Spend It As Fast As I Made It. I would pre-pay bills and pay off debts that we had even though it wasnt the right move. While those actions felt like I was doing the right thing. Those decisions would end up putting us back in debt because I still spent more than we had. Then, a few years ago I make it a point to become comfortable earning more money. To let elevating into overflow and having enough to truly save become my new identity. The downfall then shifted from spending everything we had and putting us into debt. To be afraid to spend any money because if I didnāt hold on to it, then it would again disappear. This was another version of making money not feeling safe. Once I was consciousness of that pattern. I vowed to change that bad pattern, the last few years Iāve been focusing on becoming the wealthy women. Part of that evolution meant hiring Amanda to teach me what I didnāt know about money. I loved her earlier courses and knew that her money deep dive is what I needed to fast track out of self sabotaging . So why am I sharing my latest money mindsets and shift patterns? Because I believe that being transparent with my journey helps both of us. It helps me see how far Iāve come. Especially on the days that I just want to stay in bed and already be a real-estate module with 10 Air B&B houses. LOL But, it shows you too that these lessons donāt have to be learned alone. They donāt have to take forever. Itās always smart to hire someone to teach you what you donāt know. But, most importantly there is no shame in asking for help. Or getting the gentle nudge to do a refresher on money principles when itās time for that next level of growth.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3rDyexc Get all the other links mention on the podcast here. https://linktr.ee/xomargaretstevens --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show Notes If I told you that you money mindset affected what your life looked like. Would you think I was crazy? Or would you be able to point to the times in your life that because of fear, you held back. from asking for the raise, asking to get paid what your worth, admitting what you actually wanted but didn't believe that you could have. Your money mindset will influence what opportunities you go after. Just as much as it will influence the positive and negative stories you tell yourself. This weeks episode is the practical and the woo woo about updating your money mentality. Im going to teach you how I uncovered old and unhelpful money mindset beliefs. Your going to get to see some real life examples from the work that I've done in the last year. Which means that the next time you want to earn more, spend more, receive more, you wont fall into the same traps that I did. Aka you wont sabotage receiving money from a boss or a client. I even go over an example that came up today around trusting my staff to do just as good of a job that I would. While I'm sharing the story, I break down what my mindset and thought process was this time last year. But more importantly, how its changed.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3lN2WAL Its so easy to feel that your in a fog. That your stuck and not moving fast enough. To get frustrated that your dream is still out of reach. Or even worse, you keep doing things but they never seem to be the things that move you forward in life. You talk about the goal and the five year plan. You get all excited that this weekend is going to be the ONE. You will magically have enough time and even be able to BEND time to get everything that you want done. Then the weekend comes and you realize that you have been burning it at both ends. So you end up sleeping more that you realized. Which leaves you feeling refreshed, but still frustrated since sleep didn't help your todo list shrink. Hell, you create content and things and stuff. But you never seem to bring in money. You might even have a PayPal button up or too. But something keeps sabotaging you from going from idea to income. Yes, you follow other people on Instagram or Facebook, and they inspire you. But they also leave you feeling like something is wrong. That if they can do it, what's wrong with you? Why does it feel like your in quicksand and no one else is? What are they doing that you are not? This feeling was perfect timing, because the night I recorded the podcast, I was feeling stuck as hell. That's why I wanted to take you into the heart of my practice of what I do when I feel stuck. I was frustrated that my dream had hit a wall. I couldn't feel that next level. It was to blurry and messy feeling. Which frustrated the hell out of me because I could easily feel into my next income level and knew that I was open and ready for more. But instead of staying in that energy and vibe, I moved my self out of it. I only was "stuck" for about 2 hours, not days or even weeks as my life went by. Just like everything I do, I truly believe that there is a physical and spiritual practice to moving energy. Its the other side of manifesting. You need to see it and feel it, to bring it into realty. That's why todays episode even includes 2 different meditations that I use to clear energy from my body and my home. No sage or crystals required. Use the journal prompts, clear the space, bring the new desires into reality.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3q03WVg Have you ever felt that desperate, sticky energy when you were trying to manifest something you wanted? You would start out feeling so hopeful and excited. Then after a few hours, weeks, months, when things were going slower than you wanted. You would start getting into your head. Once you were in your head, its so much harder to get back to that excited and clear energy of what your trying to achieve. If you were able to get back out of your head, then it would be like a vicious circle. Hopeful, excited, nervous, looking for validation, fear, then start the journey all over again. There is a next level way to manifest things into your life. But just like with anything else, its a muscle that you need to build. It's not that this muscle takes a certain amount of time to get strong. Instead it's all about how often you use this muscle. Just like a pro athlete, the more you work and focus, the faster the results come. The secret? You have to pay attention to the push and pull of desire. Desire is one of the easiest ways to get a clear picture of what you want and what you don't want. It can be little things, like how your body reacts to something. Or it can be that secret wish list that keeps going in in the back of your head. Getting next level clear is the name of the game. You have to be clear on what is being pushed or pulled out of you. Because if not, then your results will be mixed, frustrated and messy. The universe wont know how to show up and give you want you want. In todays episode I give you two super clear and somewhat funny examples how to collapse time faster. Plus practical action steps to get back on track and manifest faster.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3GEPAzB When you think about who you are, what do you picture? Do you picture words or images? For years, I focused on becoming stronger woman, that could handle everything. So I surrounded myself with words that made me feel something powerful. Part of my belief systems is that your words matter and become your building blocks. I have spent years talking to my subconscious mind, programing it to be the person I always wanted to become. Hence the obsession with words. But then, the words stopped working. I felt that the words were me thinking to small. Then I pictured this beautiful lighthouse in the middle of a raging storm. Shining her light calmly and always being there, for herself and others. I wanted to not be the tug boat, bouncing around in the storm anymore. I wanted to become the light house. See for me, the light house is a metaphor that I have been using to be that next level calm and consistent person. No matter what is going on around me. Of course, I go over a few different ways to achieve that lighthouse strength and vibe. I also give you a few book recommendations to help guide the way.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3FKmU7P Todays podcast is all about the pivot! Ā What the heck pivoting actually is and how to implement it in your day. I have a radical belief system. Ā I'm the fricken Queen of pivoting. Ā Our running family joke is that we might not be the smartest person in the room. But we can out pivot and get to our goal faster than anyone. Instead of getting stuck on the way to new goal. Once I'm locked into what I want, I train my brain to become an unstoppable force. I have it know that I always achieve my goals years faster then I set out to. So, when I ran into a perfect example of what pivoting would look like in the real world, I knew it had to share it. I go over examples of creating my new course, structuring sales packages and talk ALOT about trees and Wi-Fi. Most people don't realize that pivoting is a good thing that gets you to your goal faster. Plus, what about the thought process that work isn't hard and free time isn't bad. Of course there are journal prompts to help you take your own experience and turn it into change too.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/ctc40 Do you feel frustrated that you keep grinding and doing all these "things" but your not getting the results that you want. You keep journaling and leaning into the feeling of where you want to be. You keep showing up and affirming to the universe that THIS is where you want to be. THIS is where you desire to transform your life to reflect. And, everyone tells you to go do the work. To take action or just hustle harder. To work longer hours, because that's what it takes to be successful. Its all about grit. But you secretly don't either know what that is. Heck, you dont even know what doing the work means. You can talk about all these woo woo words and statements. But, if you had to pitch your idea to a friend or business partner, they would look at you like your crazy. They cant understand what your actually doing. Worst yet, you have this sinking feeling that your doing all the wrong thing. So you just keep doing the busy work, so that at least your doing something. In this episode I go over 3 different type of examples (work, personal, side hustle ) that you can use to shift. Plus an example of a girl starting a knitting business. I help take that feeling that you are chasing and turn it into actual actionable steps. Make sure to listen to Susan's story, its pretty epic. Of course there are journal prompts to help you take your own experience and turn it into change too. Stop doing the busy work and start doing the work that moves you forward in life.

Episode + Journal PromptsĀ https://bit.ly/3ieEHKf Maintenance gets a bad rap. We are brainwashed that its wrong and hard to maintain something we desire or crave. But, its so funny, because maintenance is how I've made my living for the past few years. Ā We are taught that there is nothing sexy about maintaining our bodies, cars, houses or relationships. That if its work, then we are doing something wrong. Ā Hell, depending on what Facebook group your in, work the new curse word. Instead, everything should just click naturally. God forbid if things are not flowing and are full of grace. You would have to have something wrong with you. Because, when it doesn't flow, then your not in alignment or on the right path. Well in todays podcast I'm going to challenge that myth that there is something wrong with maintenance. I also talk about one of my favorite books, The compound effect. I'll take you into my view point of what makes maintenance "hard", and how to fix that. Ā Then show you the magic that is maintenance and how it really can improve your life.

I believe in doing it once, right and then moving on. I believe in the energy of overflow. But, I didn't always believe this. Ā I use to believe in lack and sacrifice. I use to believe that there was never enough. That I wasnt enough. Ā That because I was missing that "thing" Ā I couldn't make money and change our lives. Today I dive into the #1 tool that helped me change my money mindset. Of course, I have the journal prompts below to help you out too.

But know that for me: she is able to take care of her family emotionally and financially she doesnāt cap her income she has more than enough money for all her desires. she is wealthy and carefree. she has her credit cards paid off all year long she has enough money to put into savings and also have a vacation fund. Not choose one or the other. Resources & links: www.MargaretStevens.co
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3wmTpV3 I knew that I couldn't do everything myself. But Instead of taking advantage of the help that I was offered from employees and family.Ā I would just give them bullshit tasks and keep the "bigger" ones for myself. I liked the big wins and looking like I could manage a ton of things on my own. What eventually happened is that my tasks became too much and I started making stupid mistakes because I was juggling too much on my own. So when I was ready to shift around this idea.Ā I did what I do best and linked it to money. If you have listened to any of my podcast episodes or read any of my blogs. You know that I love making money and believe that we truly can never have enough. So i started thinking why not use this as a tool to make me even more money and not just as a way to pacify people that I was not taking it all on. I deeply believe that we suck at focusing on the true purpose of delegating. Most people focus on delegating one-time tasks.Ā That doesn'tĀ move you forward in life. Instead, focus on delegating tasks that make you money over and over again. So of course in this episode, I give you tons of business and personal examples of how you can use this in your life.Ā I even give you access to the story about how I learned to delegate the hard way. Its time that you learn to use delegating how I am, as a resource that you can use in all areas in your life to make you money.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3mOrg6j I've talked about my favorite question a few times.Ā What would this look like if it was easy?Ā Well in today's episode I'm going to take you to the next level of that question. Am I sabotaging the support and income opportunities that'sĀ currently trying to come into my life? You might be wondering why I'm talking about support and income when I'm trying to make your life easier? Well, when most of us move over to our next level we start to hit that magical upper limit of success ceiling.Ā Ā For some people, it's all about being the only person that can do it all.Ā And, therefore never taking any help. For others, it can be that we make things super messy when it comes to earning extra income. But both ways of sabotaging comes down to one simple thing.Ā We don't believe it can be easy and that we have to struggle.Ā So since we're used to struggling, we find a new way to make our life hard again. Today episode goes even future into that mindset and how to get out of your own way.Ā Along with the journal prompts below to help you change your mindset faster and make things less messy.
Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3EPLjqZ Have you ever wondered why there are just some people that seem to get it "all" done?Ā That they have everything always flowing for them and they never miss a beat? Well unless those people have like a million personal assistants, they are doing something different than you.Ā Here is there secret.Ā They are only doing the 20% that gets results and they delegate the rest. So before you come at me with pitchforks, that life is possible.Ā But you have to get really clear on what your 20% looks like.Ā And, I'm here to break it to you that most of the time we are not doing the 20% that why our results or 80% is not what we want. In today's episode, I go over a ton of examples of getting your 20% when it comes to relationships, saving for a home, work, and even your health. Plus you have the journal prompts below to apply this to your own life.Ā And after listening to this podcast. If you want to dive deeper, I linked up to one of my favorite books below that I read and reread about every other year to take my own life to its next level.
