Plot twist ‼️

Don’t be that girl 😩 Show them how you’re DIFFERENT, not the other way around!

Did you know every time you change, the work changes?

When the incubation season ends, the new opportunities begin.

But first, we reset.

First, we heal.

Take what you need and share the rest 💜

While you’re over there wondering if you’re “enough”, someone is waiting for what someone like YOU has to say.

They don’t wanna hear it from Oprah.

They don’t wanna hear it from Michelle Obama.

They can’t believe it…they can’t see it…unless it comes from YOU.

So while you’re over there wondering if you’re “enough”, someone is waiting for you to be ready.

How long are you gonna make them wait??

If you’re hesitant about who you are, your dream clients will be too.

You paying attention? Because this is the cheat code right here.

If you insist on continuing to deny your message, at least stop wondering why you can’t “find” clients.

A strong voice creates a strong message.

And strong doesn’t have to mean big, bold or loud.

It just has to mean COMPLETE.

Do you have your voice down? Or are you still looking for all the parts that complete your voice?

Is your message strong? Or are you still waiting to be acknowledged?

I know…it’s a lot of questions.

But pay attention to your answers.

If your answers don’t make you feel all good deep down in your sha-na-na, tap the link in my bio and check out my new mastermind event, happening in March.

Completion is very necessary to combat the burn out so you can stand out.

Let’s get you SEEN and HEARD, friend. It’s only hard until it’s not.

                               

Your voice is bigger than you. That’s why it scares you…why it makes you uncomfortable.

It comes through you.

And you’re steady trying to dial it back.

Don’t you know that once you accept what is,
the reins come off?

What do you need to recognize about yourself so that you can truly step into your purpose?

What are you trying to ignore?

That’s the thing that your message is missing. Start there.

                             

Reason #86598 why your message isn’t working. If you’re trying to teach first then you’re not meeting them where they are. You’re trying to take them somewhere they don’t even know they need to be yet. That’s why they keep passing you by, ma’am.

Talk to them about the problem they think they have first, k?

PS. I can’twait to teach you more about this at my live mastermind day in March. Click the link in my bio to get some deets and grab your Early Bird ticket!

                               

FUN FACT 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾...The word "funnel" sometimes scares people. But it shouldn't!

Don't want to set up a complicated ass funnel just to find your people? Then don't.

If you get your messaging right, it'll find your people and pre-frame them for all of your stuff. Talk about simple!

Get your message together and you'll find your clients. 

And know that nothing else in your biz is gonna fire on all cylinders until your brand message does. 

Got questions? Hit me below. And if you're ready to define your brand voice so your message can work for you (and not against you 👀), DM me and let's see how I can help!

                               

I used to be a HEAVY people pleaser.

I could see the light in others so easily. And I would do whatever I could to support you, empower you, play your background…

It’s exhilarating to be able to be around someone else’s light.

Watching. Cheering. Giving.

I always thought maybe it was a gift of mine, to be able to seek out these stars that gave off such energy.

Turns out, it was a gift. But I was using it the wrong way.

I’d walled off parts of myself that I didn’t even know were there, because I was just out here giving what I didn’t even have myself.

I left nothing for me.

I left no room to evolve.

I didn’t know the gifts that I had, let alone believe them.

It took me so long to understand: the reason I could easily “see” everyone else, was because I had a piece of that in me.

Birds of a feather.

And here I was out here calling myself an entrepreneur…but too afraid to actually take the steps to BE ONE.

I just wanted work…but I was being held back…by me.

I didn’t know that I didn’t have to become anything. All I had to do was just acknowledge.

Is there something you’re not acknowledging about yourself? Are you the bottleneck to your own vision?

I was, and I suffered in silence until I actually acknowledged it and took the steps to confront it:

Be willing to be bad at what I was doing long enough to get good. (You have to DO the thing)

Sharing my message so I could get the market research. (You have to consistently share to become more confident.)

You don’t have to be confident. You just have to do it. Confidence is a result of acting.

I started using my gift the right way by bringing it into my biz: using it to qualify and accept projects.

Using it to strategize the best actions for clients.

Because, maybe someone else needed someone to speak life into them, the way I’d needed it for myself.

What ended up happening was I attracted dream client after dream client.

I created meaningful relationships with biz friends who saw value in me just like I saw value in them.

If you’re searching for confidence so you can move your brand forward, you’ve got it backwards.

Stop searching. Just start BEING.

The rest will take care of itself.

The reason no one is buying is because you don’t know your own value. How can you communicate it if you don’t know it?

The person that needs to get clear first, is you. Do the work now so your people can find you.

Tap the link in my bio for current ways I can help you get specific on the value of your voice so your message can truly resonate with your people 💜

               

You found your people yet? You know the ones…the people who are attached to you and your purpose?

When you’re being obedient to your purpose, you can’t miss them.

You don’t need anything more than the courage to stay the course to find them.

Keep your focus.

                                   

I really used to think I was a play-it-safe type.

I’d quit my job in 2017, expecting to do more of the same, just for myself this time. That’s how it goes, right?

Nah 🤣

It didn’t pan out that way. And it got to a point where I was just plain exhausted from all the trying.

There were tears.
There were days-long Netflix binges.
There were heated discussions with my boyfriend about why I didn’t just go get a “real” job…

The confusion I felt 😅

I’d been a freelance service provider since 2001(!) and I was VERY clear that I was an entrepreneur and a creative. Just thinking about the impact I wanted to make lit me alllll the way up.

I thought I was ready.

But in reality? I was afraid of the work I truly wanted to do. I was afraid no one would take me seriously.

I was afraid I wasn't good enough.

And I definitely wasn’t clear or specific on what service I was providing anymore or who I was even providing it to.

I felt like just wanted clients! But that’s not exactly how business works.

When I think back on that time, I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I couldn’t see my way through back then.

Sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know.

Between me and y’all, my entire world changed when I stopped trying to be some perfect, polished version of an entrepreneur, and started being okay with showing up just as I was…

I started being okay with going after the work I really wanted to do, not just what ppl thought I should do…or what they were used to me doing 👀

I’m not gonna say everything became easy, but EVERYTHING CHANGED.

So if this is reaching you in that season where you just don’t know what to do, all you know is something’s gotta give…choose to do something different and see how that feels.

I’m rooting for you 💪🏾

                             

You are somebody’s person.

But they don’t know it yet because you’re still struggling with your voice.

You’re still denying YOURSELF, so they’re still denying YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your people want to know who you are. They want to lean into your philosophy, your values, your magic sauce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Know that somebody is looking.

Somebody is watching.

Somebody is waiting…waiting until it’s undeniable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So never be afraid to speak your truth.

Never be afraid to show up exactly how you show up, because someone right now is looking for exactly what only you have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And they’ll never know it if you can’t identify your voice and package it into your message.

NEVER.

When you’re ready to be heard, I’ve got a few things that can help. Click the link in my bio to get started.⠀⠀

I got you.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

                                      

I get it, there’s sexier things to talk about. Shinier objects to play with.

But why are you over there wondering about the impact you’re not making when you won’t sit down and do the work that needs to be done?

Fun fact: Your biz will change drastically when your message does.

And your message is not your brand statement.

It’s not, I help X person do X thing so they can do X.

It’s your voice.
It’s your result.
It’s your philosophy.
It’s your legacy.

Stop playing wit your message.

SWIPE ➡ Ready to step into your own lane in your industry? That's gonna take clarity and some decisive action.

Clarity 👉🏾 Find out who YOU are and how you're different.

Decisive Action 👉🏾 Find the audacity to move according to that clarity.

Rinse and repeat.

My new live event is gonna tackle both of these head on. Come mastermind live with us!

Tix are at a special Super Early Bird rate through tomorrow. Hit the 🔗 in the comments to learn more!

How can you buck the system?

Rebel against the status quo?

Jump outside the whole entire box?

When you’re branding yourself…when you’re getting in your marketing bag…focus on just how different you can be.

THAT’S what you want to concentrate on. And you do that by starting with YOU first.

Basically, be Dope + Different® 😎

I’ve got 3 deals going for Black Friday that can help you do just that. Check the link in my bio if you’re ready to accept the challenge 💪🏾

                                     

There comes a point when conforming your true self to fit into everyone else’s image of you becomes simply painful. And that is when the true work begins.

It ain’t easy. It’s uncomfortable. But when you realize that’s the real work, you’ll spend the rest of your life making sure you do your whole self justice with each and every decision you make.

Your life and business will thank you for it. Trust me 💜

                                       

Pull up a chair...it's story time 📚

A couple years ago, someone replied to one of my emails saying she didn’t like my use of “hip hop” language in my weekly email newsletter.

Not a client. Not a student from my bootcamp.

Just someone who’d gotten on my email list, and was downright appalled that I would mention Juvenile in my marketing.

Not only was she offended, she intimated that I was bad at marketing because SHE didn’t like my messaging. And if SHE didn’t like it, it was a dumpster fire and what the hell am I doing in business anyway.

My response?? I GUFFAWED 🤣🤣🤣

I still pull it up when I need to feel better about the work I do, quite honestly.

This is MY brand and I’ma use MY brand voice, all day, everyday.

And if it’s one thing I’ve been downright yelling at clients for years, it’s that EVERY MESSAGE AIN’T FOR EVERYBODY.

Your content should be pre-framing people to work with you. It should be polarizing and direct, because it should allow them to get a feel for who you are, how you do business, and how you vibe.

They should be very clear about who they’re getting on the phone with when they book that consultation call.

So if you send out an email and you get a response from someone saying “this ain’t for me”…congratulations! You’ve done your job 🎉🎉🎉 That person can now confidently make the decision to move along to someone else who fits their…sensibilities…and you can continue doing you and resonating with YOUR people.

Make sense??

Vanilla won’t build relationships. It’ll get you scrolled right on over.

So don’t be afraid to speak to your people and only your people, if you want to actually be heard.

Don’t worry about anyone else. They can see themselves out 👍🏾

Worried you’re not making an impact in your industry?

If you’re confident in your message, it doesn’t matter how many people you’re talking to.

Impact is impact is impact.

And it’s not measured by the number of people who know your name. It’s measured by the way you affect the people who are attached to you. Because after you affect those lives, those people can then go on and make their own impact on the people attached to them. And so on and so on.

Even if you have tens of thousands of followers or email subscribers, that doesn’t mean they want to buy from you 😬

Everybody doesn’t want what you have, Love! **Monique voice**

And also? What you have ain’t for everybody.

👏🏾 STOP 👏🏾 CHASING 👏🏾 PEOPLE 👏🏾 WHO 👏🏾 ARE 👏🏾 NOT 👏🏾 YOUR 👏🏾 PEOPLE 👏🏾 

If you're ready to attract instead of chase, come see me on Black Friday. I’ve got something in the works that I’m super excited about. Hit the link in my bio to join my email list so you don’t miss out!

                                 

Instead of focusing on streamlining your brand into one single offer, why not try streamlining all parts of your brand to one message?

If you find yourself draining your energy trying to delete offers and merge others (all in an effort to simplify and be more productive), concentrate on the offers that fall in line with your message.

Each offer shouldn't give clients a new message, they should be an offshoot of the same message that your brand stands on.

Remember: consistency makes your brand system run! So try streamlining your message, not the other way around 🙂

Who are you REALLY?

Now who are you really trying to BE?

That gap right there is motherfather.

While you're out here trying to be someone else, other people are out here trying to be you.

Not you trying to find comfort in being someone else. Don't you know your spirit won't have that??

That's why you're so uncomfortable.

Not because this s**t is just sooo hard, but because you're trying that hard to be somebody else.

Someone more palatable to the mainstream...

Someone more status quo...

Someone more...easy.

If all of this is just an experiment, that makes you the variable.

And if the variable stays the same, your experiment is doomed to fail 🤯

But sometimes we're more afraid of ourselves than we are of the failure. We must be powerful as hell if that's the case.

If I were you, I'd bet on myself all day every day. That's the play.

Next week, Super Early Bird tix for my new live event, Your Message Your Movement LIVE go on sale for a limited time. Hit the link in my bio to jump on the waitlist so you can get first access to the sale and snag some exclusive bonuses.
