This ONE belief literally almost killed me. (Trigger Warning) A little over 8 years ago, I made the decision to end my time on this Earth.  My plan was to do it on my birthday as a gift to myself and the world.  How did I get to such a low point? It all stemmed from one constant unchallenged thought, which I came to convince myself it was a fact.  “No one really understood me.” I had always known that I was different, and I also learned quickly to keep that buried deep inside as it wasn’t socially acceptable, and certainly not celebrated.  I asked questions at 6 that got me kicked out of Sunday School I knew when people were upset, even if they were faking a smile, and when I would address it, people would often get defensive or weirded out. I spoke to inanimate objects and people I could not physically see, but I could feel.  When I would play Barbies, I never wanted to be married, and I thought Ken was lame.  So I quickly learned to pretend so my friends and family didn’t know how “weird” I was.  I felt the same way in the Corporate world.  I felt the same way in my adult friend groups. So I kept the real me stuffed down, and developed a strong False Self so I would be accepted in this world.  At some point holding a GIANT beach ball underwater gets to be too exhausting. So ending my time here on Earth, sounded like a peaceful solution….an escape from decades of isolation and pain.  Your beliefs can either make or break you. Right now, you have things swirling around your head, which are keeping you stuck, making you miserable, and blocking you from a blissful joy-filled life.  Let’s start unpacking those today. Listen in and I’ll share the rest of this powerful story.

I just stood there as she said, “you ungrateful spoiled brat.” What made it even more soul-cutting is she NEVER yelled these things…she would say them in a clear and confident voice. So the 4-year old me took this in as FACTS.  My mom deep down hated me. As an empath, I really felt it. Any attempt at setting boundaries, preferences, saying “no,” or even not liking a particular food was NOT ALLOWED. In fact, this is what would trigger her favorite thing to call me (noted above).  So I was taught that standing up for myself and stating my needs was not safe.  I know many of you were taught the same thing…maybe in a different way, a more subtle way, or even a louder way.  Then as an adult, I ended up being attracted to and attracting people who punished me (consciously and subconsciously) for putting any of my needs or desires first.  This only reinforced the deeply rooted belief that there will be a painful price to pay for setting boundaries and getting my needs met. So I became a well-groomed People Pleaser in an effort to stay “safe,” and not be abandoned by those I loved.  If you know me or listen to my podcast, you know I’m unapologetically confident about my boundaries, preferences, and needs….this didn’t change by magic or from one 3-day retreat.  For a deeply ingrained belief to change, you must go clean out the CORE WOUND.  Otherwise, it will continue to produce puss and fester your ENTIRE LIFE.  If this resonates with you, go listen to the conversation with my Subconscious Mindset Strategist Brenda Johnston.

 Sample profitable caption template for you:  This probably goes without saying, but keep in mind there isn’t any magical caption that will convert into cash if the foundations of your business aren’t set up.  However, I have many business owners who come to be with the foundations set who are leading HEAVY MONEY on the table, by not knowing how to strategically create profitable content.  Digital content is a marketing strategy, not a business plan. LET ME BREAKDOWN AN EXAMPLE of high-converting caption: HOOK LINE: 80% of your mental bandwidth should be dedicated to this line. If you do grab their attention, they will never read or watch the rest of your message.  Ex. 98% of you are ignoring the most profitable content in social media.   RELATABILITY: Now you need to show your ideal client that you understand exactly where they are at…if people feel like you “get them” they will buy from you.  Ex. Let me guess, you’re spending hours creating reels, writing captions, and making graphics while receiving little money in return.  It’s starting to get old, isn’t it? Making you dread content.    THE PROBLEM: Then point out what they are likely doing wrong, thinking, assuming, etc… Ex. The issue is you’re thinking, “posting a bunch of stuff consistently” is a profitable content strategy, and it isn’t. This is why all of these influencers come to me with hundreds of thousands of followers and aren’t making sh!t.   SOLUTION: What should they be doing differently? What behavior change, thought shift, or technique will make a big difference?  Ex. Your Instagram feed posts and fun viral reels are designed to expand your audience, and get in front of new people.  Your Instagram Stories are only shown to your existing followers. So while it may not seem as exciting because the numbers of views are far lower (1-2% of your audience size)…these are where your warm leads live.  > This is where the people are going to build a deeper relationship with you, and buy from you.  Treating your IG stories like an afterthought instead of a priority is like going to Mcdonald's after a 90-minute gym session.   WANT MORE GUIDANCE: How can they learn more from you? How can they hire you? How can they get more help with the thing you mentioned?    Ex.

Find your Money Making Niche You are the niche, honey.  Whether you have a personal brand, a store, or a service-based business, the common denominator is YOU.  YOU are the founder. YOU are the representative.  YOU are the leader. YOU hold the vision for your business.  If you’re stumped on this whole niche-marketing thing, the answer lies within you.  You are marketing to a version of yourself: whether that be you 10 years ago, you before you did all the inner work, you as a new mom, business owner, newly divorced, etc…. Answer these questions: Who did you create this offer, service, or product for?  What problem or struggle are you looking to help people improve even by 10%?  What are some areas in your industry where people are missing the mark?  What do you stand for and what don’t you stand for?  There is no magical profitable niche.  But after 15 years as a business and marketing strategist, I’ll tell you this: Hyper-focused niched brands do get noticed and grow faster. You can be more general (ie Life Coach) but if you are CLEAR about your messaging and who you help, it won’t connect.  It doesn’t matter if someone already has “your niche.” There are millions of realtors, lawyers, and dermatologists…what matters is you make it clear how you are different.   >>MEGA BLACK FRIDAY SALE Get all the details + $2291 in exclusive bonuses here: ProjectMEwithTiffany.com/BlackFriday My **NEW** Season of Abundance Walk: Guided Meditation Series  Click here to get it for FREE!! projectmewithtiffany.com/seasonofabundance Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money.

 On average I make 10k a week passively…here’s the tea: While this all sounds super sexy…I mean who wouldn’t want to wake up to payment notifications, and fresh cash in the bank?!  Everyone wants this, but few are willing to do what actually works.  It’s no different than admiring another person's fit physique…wishing you were that lean or your stomach was that flat…you can have it too, IF you dedicated the time and created the discipline to follow through on repeat.  The freedom level cash and lifestyle I’ve created are equally available for you right now. If it was super easy, painless, and fast, you would have already done it.  Here’s what you have to be willing to do: Start at the bottom and be willing to learn from someone who has done it.  Have proof of concept on making active income in your business, before trying to make it passively.  Understand passive income requires upfront effort in order to cash in for years and years after that initial effort.  Take risks on repeat. Be willing to experiment and try new things, knowing they could possibly not work while stacking the odds in your favor that they will.   FREE > My Secret Posse Weekly Digest: Sign up here projectmewithtiffany.com/secretposse  **NEW** Season of Abundance Walk: Guided Meditation Series  Click here to get it for FREE!! projectmewithtiffany.com/seasonofabundance Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money.
