Because there is a force in this world that doesn’t want you to succeed.

This force tries to numb you with distractions, and lure you into complacency.

But it is far simpler- and usually faster- as a vehicle for financial freedom…especially if you identify quickly what habits and actions (or inactions!) could be holding you back!    After five years of building a direct selling organization, there are certain things I see over and over again that keep people from success- particularly in the first stages of their business.   1. Not understanding that YOU are the brand.  2. Talking too much.  3. Talking too little.  4. Doing primary communication over text or email.  5. Not staying in communication with your sponsor.  6. Relying on your sponsor for every single decision.  7. Trying to do the business without investing into the product.  8. Taking conferences/events lightly.  9. Not working from a list.  10. Not focusing on income-producing activities.  11. Putting personal-growth on the back burner.  12. Operating with a short-term mindset.  13. Adding people to a private FB group without consent.  14. Being shady or wishy-washy with your message.  15. Jumping ship to several companies.  16.

How to be debt free by age 30   “Live like none else so later you can live- and give- like none else.”    I’ve paid off huge loads of debt twice in my life: once on my own- majority was business debt but also some leftover from college. The second time was with my husband- as a team.    James and I are both self-employed and have been for the majority of our adult lives. When we kicked off our marriage, neither of us had credit card debt, business debt, or education debt. But neither of us had a strategic plan in place for our taxes, either.    From April 2013-April 2015 we were constantly trying to play catch-up. In addition to getting ahead and proactively saving 30-40% of our income for future taxes, we had an extra $55,000 of back taxes from 2008-2010 from real estate.    If we didn’t set an intention to crush this debt, we would have continued to throw money at interest for many, many more years.   We got intentional. We got focused. Two years after we said “I Do” we had not only paid off that $55k, we got ahead of the $40k in the pipeline.     On today’s podcast I cover five steps you can take to #HustleSmarter and pay off your debt with speed.    …Remember, debt freedom is the single freedom that opens the door to all other freedoms!   

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.hustlesmarterbootcamp.com/earlyaccess    You may be one of the rare few born into wealth, found yourself a sugar daddy/mama, or bought Apple stock in the 90s. But if you AREN’T- and you love the idea of living a freedom-based lifestyle earlier than 72 years old- you’ve gotta listen to my message today.    You see, through the school system and the generations before us, we have been taught to follow a predictable pathway for success: get straight As in high school and be the varsity captain, go to a good college and get a respectable career, get married and have babies, go back to school to get a raise and more letters after your name, cross fingers and hope to retire by age 65.    This just never sounded appealing to me. I dreamed of waking up to the birds, not to an alarm clock. I dreamed of never having to check the bank account before making a decision. I dreamed of working 20 hours/week and earning 7 figures.    I knew the traditional route would never get me where I wanted to go.    On today’s podcast I walk you through the pros/cons of the three major options for adding an additional income stream.    Want more guidance on building your side-hustle?

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.hustlesmarterbootcamp.com/earlyaccess    “To whom much is given, much is required.”    I never wrote a budget when I was single. Not that I shouldn’t have- it’s just that it was a whole lot simpler when it was just myself making decisions...    I lived in the city, drove a new mini, didn’t blow too much money on weekend trips, fancy dinners or booze. I would pay my regular bills and throw everything extra at debt. And I was able to pay off $40,000 of debt in 9 months with the help of my side hustle.    Things get more complicated with marriage. You merge incomes, spending habits, priorities…    James and I have always been wide-open books with each other when talking about money. It took him a little longer to embrace the value of debt freedom, and it took me awhile to understand the incessant need to upgrade to first class- but beyond that, we’ve always been quite on par with our thinking and long-term vision.    After being married for a year and making virtually no dent on the $55,000 of back taxes we owed, I decided to sign us up for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University with our church as well as commit to AdvoCare’s Debtbuster program- the two really compliment each other.    We only went to 2 of the 7 small group meeting for FPU- not because the curriculum wasn’t valuable- it’s just that it was in Bothell, on a Thursday, during December, at 7pm. And we lived in downtown Seattle. Anyone in the greater Seattle area knows this is a death sentence for joy. It’s rare that I quit anything so this is really saying something about the traffic where we come from.    Regardless, I did apply Dave’s message about budgeting. So some of what I’m teaching here is a direct result of what he teaches, and some is what I have learned along the way.    I believe writing a monthly budget is CRUCIAL for hitting a major financial goal- whether that be debt freedom, saving for a down payment on a home, or funding a dream trip. (More on funding a big dream HERE)     Listen to this week’s episode for tips on how to write a budget that works!

HOW are you doing that?!”    Putting your belongings in storage to go on extended travel is nothing novel…lots of people do it. My husband has dreamed of it for years and years- since he read “Vagabonding” and “The Four Hour Workweek”.    Me? Wasn’t a dire dream of mine but I DO dream of inspiring people to go after the tugs on their heart to be more, experience more, live more. And, hey, I don’t mind the incredible time with my hubs and I sure am getting used to this #laptoplifestyle.    I knew we needed a plan to make it happen. I wanted to see my Jamesy’s big dream come alive.    And I also knew…we aren’t the backpacking, hostel-saying type. I wish I was more down to earth but…just not happening.    So, I started mapping it out. Here is what it looked like:    1. Put life behind the vision.    2. Pray on it.    3. Make debt freedom a priority.    4. Budget for before, during, after. And worst case scenarios.    5. Walk out in faith.    Of course- easier said than done. You must remain faithful, diligent, persistent and consistent. Temptation and distractions and doubt will creep in and try to steal you from your dreams.    Not you. Not this time. #NoRegrets    What is YOUR big dream? I can help you master your mindset and create a plan to fund that dream with your side-hustle.

The more you use it, the stronger it gets.”    My interview with long-time friend, Rachel Elizabeth, is the perfect way to wrap up our month of being Confidently YOU.    I have known Rachel nearly her entire 20s and watched her walk through the process to become the humble woman of God she is now. She is an absolute LIGHT everywhere she goes. She brims with confidence- and humility.    But it wasn’t always this way. She tried to do it all on her own for a long time. She tried to muscle-out her success by striving to achieve and be the best.    It wasn’t until she had a “wake up call” that she committed her life to growth…to walk with faith and boldness. She recognized that nothing and nobody would take her further than her Holy Counselor…God is limitless.    Take the time to listen to her beautiful message and journey as she shares how her definition of success has shifted and has allowed her to embrace TRUE freedom for her life.    You can also read more about her mission here: www.causefitness.com

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.hustlesmarterbootcamp.com/earlyaccess    “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.”     Humility comes when you are secure. It’s attractive. And makes people want to follow.    Pride comes when you are insecure. It’s obnoxious. And causes people to run.    We often misinterpret humility as sign of weakness when it is actually an indication of tremendous inner strength. So, how do you walk with both confidence and humility as an influencer?     Here are 5 ways to increase humility:    1. Help out someone else or do something good. Without having to brag about your good deeds to the world.    2. Reflect inward. Get in tune with your strengths and weaknesses.    3. Seek feedback. Be coachable. Be open about something your life you are ashamed of or want growth in.    4. Discover awe. Take notice of and express gratitude for the world’s beauty and wonder. You’ll realize…you aren’t the center of the universe! I know, shocking ;)  But when gazing up at the stars in the desert or looking at a sunset behind the Andes mountains or looking out at the vast ocean filled with life…self-centeredness is nearly impossible.     5. Give the glory to God. He is limitless.      Be EPIC today, champion!!

When you feel good, you lead good.”    I was a personal trainer for 10 years and recognize that for many- confidence starts with body image. The discipline to create and commit to healthy habits builds confidence…the type of confidence that glows when you walk into a room. The type of confidence that attracts more opportunity and a massive following.    Body image is your perception of how attractive you are.  Self esteem is confidence in your abilities.    Good self-esteem is important because it helps you keep a positive outlook on life and makes you feel proud of the person you are, both inside and out…giving you courage to try new things, the power to believe in yourself, and confidence to make healthy choices.    ________________________________________________   Four steps for killer body confidence & self image:    1. Commit to a workout program.   2. Eat clean 80% of the time.  3. Fine-tune your beauty routine.   4. Drink water & sleep.      Need accountability on getting your body to a place of optimal health? Do you want to get your GLOW and vibrant energy back? I can definitely help.     I coach on the incredible 24 Day Challenge program and it could be exactly what you need to gain momentum, get structure back, and bust through a plateau.    FREE NUTRITION CONSULTATION >>> www.angiegarner.com/contact/   Ciao for now!           

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.hustlesmarterbootcamp.com/earlyaccess    “You will never influence the world trying to be like it.”    I’m BACK! That’s right. Back with weekly wisdom for you to listen to while sitting in traffic, folding your laundry, or doing some steady state cardio.    And I want to kick off the month of September by talking about being Confidently YOU.     You see, I love teaching and training others how to get what they want.    I’ve gravitated towards leadership since I was little girl. I like paving the way. I like the challenge of setting out towards an intimidating vision. I like the responsibility of making decisions.    Bigger influence = bigger impact.  Bigger impact = bigger income.    Because I believe anyone can build influence, throughout the last five years of leading a large organization in the direct sales industry, I continually search for ways myself and my team can grow in this area. I’ve often pondered, “why is it that some people start their business with a ton of influence already resulting in quick success- and some people really struggle getting it off the ground..?”    It’s not just about likability. I’ve met many lovely, sweet, kind people who have very little influence.     It is much more about the decisions you’ve made up until this point in your life. You can’t do anything about the past. But what you can do is choose- starting today- to commit to growing your influence with these 3 keys:    1.  Confidence.  Low self-esteem is easy to spot and will cost you. Whatever it is that may be holding you back from believing you were called to greatness and you matter- whatever it is that is keeping you from walking with faith in your authentic self and your vision- needs to be handled in order to increase your influence.    Here are 5 ways to immediately be more confident:  1. Set s small goal and take the first step.  2. Empower yourself with knowledge.  3. De-clutter your life.  4. Choose friends wisely.  5. Positive affirmations.    2. Courage.  You need to stand for something. Wishy-washy is just so not inspiring. At all. But standing for something can be scary. It means…you don’t stand for something else. And there will be people who disagree with you. There’s no way around this- you must have courage to stand for what you believe in and share it with the world. This doesn’t mean to post obnoxious facts and figures about whatever it is you stand for. I don’t blast statistics about network marketing all over my social media even though I believe it is the best opportunity for someone who wants a freedom based lifestyle.    So how do you stand for something with courage and class? Share your story. Share why a product, a platform, a book, a policy, a quote, an article- means something to you. This will attract the right people. Your homies who get it and get you. And that’s who you want to build in your circle of influence.    3. Consistency.  Your message- and you- must be stable. Stability builds trust. Being consistent with your word, consistent with your schedule, consistent with your ATTITUDE- it all matters. People are craving consistency in who they follow because it is so hard to find it in our ADD culture. So many ideas, so many shiny objects, so many distractions. When you are consistent, you stand out among the rest.    Now, I have something really exciting coming up if you are READY to increase your influence. To increase your confidence. To increase your income.    My signature program, #HustleSmarter Bootcamp, was previously only available through 1 on 1 coaching. Soon it is going to be available for everyone. This is the exact curriculum I use to help my elite clients gain clarity and confidence to have the life they want. It is a 6-week fast track to organize your goals, your habits, your finances, and your personal branding & marketing strategy. We dive in and hit all the notes required to build a rock solid personal foundation for your business.    Don’t miss out!!   hustlesmarterbootcamp.com/earlyaccess    I’m so grateful for you.  You’re a champion.

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.hustlesmarterblueprint.com   Success is not to be pursued- is attracted by what we become…   Today I talk with you about your next steps for personal development.   People are counting on you to become more! What you become is far more important than what you get. In other words, to have more than you've got, you’ll need to become more than you are.   This is where you should focus most of your attention. Rack up new skills, not titles. Stay fresh on the inside. There are always new levels of getting uncomfortable.   That’s why I designed this mindSWEAT Reset and why I designed my #HustleSmarter Bootcamp.   So what’s your plan? Are you ready to lock arms with me?   I’m going to help you make great money and become a truly different person in the process.   I want to invite you to join my #HustleSmarter Bootcamp.

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   There are two pains in life: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret…   Today we address the ever important and not-so-sexy recipe for success: being consistent and persistent.   You can’t wish your way to success. You can’t have one foot in and one foot out. You can’t put in the minimum and expect the maximum. You gotta go ALL IN.   Work. Grit. Focus. That’s what it takes.   We live in an age where instant gratification is encouraged. But MATURITY is learning to delay pleasure. Setting aside what you want- for what you want most.   It’s time to face your fears and work on yourself.   Finish your assignment. Finish the work you are given and victory will be the result.  

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   When we give generously-with an abundance mindset- what we give away will multiply…   Today is about money. Both giving money just to give- and investing money to reap what you sew.   The most successful leaders I know are the biggest givers. And they are also the wisest investors.   The scarcity mindset revolves around the idea that there simply isn’t enough to go around and it also creates sadness and jealousy. The abundance mindset, on the other hand, flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. People with an abundant mindset believe there is plenty out there and enough for everybody.   James and I operate from a place of abundance. But it wasn’t always this way for me.   I had a lot of fear to overcome about the lack of money. I had a tight grasp on my money and was terrified of going broke. I never wanted to have to ask anyone for a dime.   Daily gratitude changed everything for me. Taking those leaps of faith and giving away more than I ever had- changed everything for me.   Invest into yourself. Invest into others. Invest into your business.   Scared money don’t make money.

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   The most common regret of the dying was that they wish they’d had the courage to live a life true to themselves and not the life others expected of them…   Today we are talking about being authentically YOU.    What if today, you took off the mask? Unzipped the ugly costume. And walked into who you truly are.   People are counting on you to become more..but more of who you are not of somebody else!   What inspires you to be you?   The real you is stronger and more capable than you even know.   No more acts.   Take off the costume and be you. Be the best you. Choose to become more.  

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   Progress comes from doing the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable…   Today is all about breaking through any roadblocks.   Mindset shifts hurt. But you’re one shift from the next level.   Here are the three major traps that keep people from being successful:   1- Quitting.   Don’t be like the majority. Be bold. And don’t ever quit your daydream.    2- Inability to get along with others.   Master the art of relationships through communication and empathy.   3- Procrastination.   Define the ONE THING your dream needs and immediately take that step. TODAY!   4- Lack of investment mindset. Takes money to make money.   Have you ever sat down and defined what success looks like to you..? I encourage you to start there- so you know WHY you are going to stay the course and overcome these common roadblocks that keep many from their destiny.   I would love to hear what success looks like to you. Email it my way and be sure to sign up at www.hustlesmarterblueprint.com as I give you 7 days of free training on the mindset required to be successful.

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   Today we are asking: what’s my current reality and where do I want to go?   Both past successes and past failures can hold us back…   What’s holding you back?   Offense? Let it go. Unforgiveness?  Time to forgive.  A success you’re still holding onto? Move on. Failure? Walk away.    Choose to focus forward. Let go of the old.   You were not born to be mediocre. You were born for greatness. Let’s commit to try new things. To be unafraid. To seize the moments that call your name.   If there’s a stirring in you for more…pay attention.   Walk fully in your gifts. It truly does not serve you to minimize yourself. It doesn’t serve anybody.   The world needs you to say YES.  

You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want…   Today I help you break the myth that sales is a bad thing.   Sales allows you to compress time. Sales is your new best friend.   What is sales exactly? Essentially it is offering a solution for someone who is looking for a change. You are a solution for somebody. YOU are your own brand.   You see, everyone sells. Just because you don’t have the word “sales” in your job title, does not mean you don’t sell. You do.   To your boss. To your partner. To your friends. You sell the movie you want to see. You sell the new album you just downloaded. You sell the restaurant you want to try. You sell your ideas, your vision, your favorite type of workout. You sell your employees on how great their job is. You sell yourself in interviews and on Tinder.   It is time sales stops being an ugly, greasy word and is honored for what it is: an art form.   And a benefit to mankind. Matching needs and wants with products and services.   Don’t learn to sell just to sell- learn to sell so when you have a product or service you can’t live without, it is that much easier to share it with the world.   You can do anything you want in this world and make an unlimited amount of money if you get great at sales. You’re already doing it, so why not do it better? Remember, people will buy from people they like, know and trust.   Maybe it’s time to invest into growing this skill and laying the foundation to start a successful side-hustle. If so, LET’S CHAT: www.angiegarner.com

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   The greatest prison people live in, is the fear of what other people think…   Today I talk with you about finding delight in being YOU.   People always want to know: what does it take to build a successful direct sales business?   Work effort/focus and caring more about my purpose than about what other people think. That’s my answer.   When we are overcome with the opinion of others- it traps us. It can be totally crippling, and working through that block can mean the difference between a mediocre life with regrets in our last days- or a crazy, ridiculous, awesome, extraordinary life with nothing but joy when we bid farewell to this life.   It’s time to let go of that fear and walk in a place of power and confidence.   You were born for purpose, unique to yourself. You have access to joy and freedom. It is your job to steward the gifts and talents you have been given.   The world needs you to say YES to your true self. Every one of us was also born with the birthright of CHOICE. It’s up to you, every single day, to choose freedom or to choose mediocre. I choose freedom. How bout you?   The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com

The American DayDream is brought to you by: www.mindsweatreset.com   Each of our stories involve heartache that uniquely shape us to become who we are…   Today’s songspiration is about dealing with disappointment.    Leaders have an expectation for their future. They are goal-getters. And they expect more. And when you expect a lot from yourself and others, it is easy to quickly get disappointed.   Have you ever been disappointed? Sure you have. But you need to realize- disappointment starts seeping in and affecting our every move.   It’s time to forgive. Forgive yourself for making a bad decision. Forgive yourself for being lazy. Forgive yourself for saying something hurtful to someone you love. Forgive that person who didn’t keep their word.   Believe for the best. Hope allows passion to have its way.   We are not defined by our mistakes, we are defined by the direction we are heading. Every day we get the chance to start over.
