Don't Be a Sell Out -Nichole Carlson

Don’t be a sell out

When I entered the coaching business and I felt like everyone was running around trying to get to $10k, $20k, $50k months…

I was like…

“Fuck that shit. I just want to be happy. Sure I want to make this work… and you’re damn right it WILL but I ain’t going to sell my soul’s happiness for a number in my bank account.”

 

I’ve done that…

It doesn’t work…

And my body won’t actually LET me… {I’d like to send a thank you to Procrastination, Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Resentment…)

 

I’m not saying everyone is selling their soul for a $50k month. That’s ridiculous.

 

And I’m not saying I don’t want to be rich and have all the good things in my life. That’s ridiculous.

 

But when I was a software engineer, my primary question was, “How do I make money and be secure?” Instead of “what do I love to do and how can I give back?”

 

And when we come from the “what can I do to make money?” it creates fear in us that either we don’t already have enough, or we aren’t enough or we have to something that we don’t want to do for money…

And then we set our ladder against the wall and start to climb.

 

And if we are doing something because of fear…
trying to look like we have it all together,
trying to FINALLY get our dad’s approval,
trying to FINALLY get recognition because our brother was always the successful one,
trying to prove that we are good enough to have all-the-things…
trying to gain respect from others because we are a ‘software engineer’ and ooooohhhh you are so smart (This was me, btw)

 

When we build from fear… we lose.

The problem then becomes that once we start to climb that ladder, and we DO finally have procrastination, anxiety, depression anger come up, it makes it hard to change course because we have fears that we aren’t enough and fear of judgment from other people for starting over.

 

It’s really hard to admit to yourself that you shouldn’t have married a man that you don’t trust…
and that you shouldn’t have picked a career that you hated… (because what does it matter… You don’t know what you want anyways… at least you are making money)
and that basically your whole life… is a lie…

 

I spent 12 years with my ex-husband…
knowing ‘something was wrong’ but not sure what… because I didn’t want to see it… until my dad left and my mom died.
By that time I was so empty that nothing mattered.

And when you get to that point…
It’s quiet.




All you have is the truth.
The truth you could have seen all along, but stayed so busy so you wouldn’t see it.

And I bought a one-way ticket out of the country… which was the first thing that I finally did for myself.
Yeah, ok, it was running… but it also WASN’T.

I HAD NOTHING.

There was nothing to run from.

 

Now, I have business goals and financial goals and I’ll hit them, but what matters is that I’m creating my life in the way that I WANT MY LIFE…
not saying no to myself…
not saying no to my desires…(money is certainly one of them)
not saying no to my happiness…

 

I mean, not many people can say they get paid for being themselves.
But that’s all I want.
I want to be me,
Have a business TO GET MY MESSAGE OUT BECAUSE I KNOW IT SAVES LIVES,
Have money,
Be healthy and have a great body,
Have a great relationship – first with myself!!!,
Be with friends and family and my amazing clients (which really are family to me)
And have a Soul that’s on Fire.

 

That’s it.
That’s all I want.

PS – Basil’s, my cat’s, looking like, “Oh is THAT all?”
