FU*CK IT! I QUIT!

These four words have been said dozens of times over my twelve years of being an entrepreneur. Most recently, I said them right at the start of the New Year.

Yes while everyone was "New Year, New You'ing" (gag) my heart got shattered into a million pieces when I suddenly and unexpectedly lost my fur-baby, baked potato, bird bean, princess, tootles, Ms. Molly.

It happened so dramatically that my nervous system is still processing the event and my PTSD was heavily triggered. On top of that I was in hard-core pre-launch mode for my signature sales course, and I'm in my busy season for both of my businesses.

Then just two days later Mike and I got food poisoning, which left me non-functional for 48 hours.

My inbox was exploding, my voicemail was full, I had over 65 unread texts, and well over a hundred DM's, plus a mile long time-sensitive to-do list…so I did what all seasoned mutli-millionaires do and I screamed, "FU*CK IT! I QUIT! This is just too much for me!"

Every time I say it, yell it, cry it, and think it, I mean it at the time yet I would never truly quit. It's my way of crying "MERCY" and waving the white flag. I know you have been there too, whether it's with your career, your business, your marriage, your kids, or your laptop.

I've decided to bring you along, and share how I process and move through those times when I just want to quit it all. This episode is raw and next level real, but it's important for you to see how I manage when the sh*t hits the fan. After all, we know its not all Bali and butterflies everyday.

Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money. A former NBC and CBS TV journalist, turned multi-millionaire entrepreneur, teaching you all things wealth, health, worth, and business.

5 Things I Wish I did Differently When starting my Online Business EP171 Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

There are 5 things I wish I did differently when starting my online business, and they will for sure surprise you.

Hindsight is always 20/20. I believe reflecting back on what we could have done better is important, just be sure not to dwell on what could have been (this can be challenging for me, a Virgo, Enneagram 6, INFJ).

As your business coach, it is my responsibility to share with you not just what works but also what doesn't work, and the why behind it. Your business is something that is ever evolving just like your personal relationships. You will try things and some will workout great and others not so much, plus a few epic fails. Just know this is 100% going to happen, and if it hasn't yet, you aren't going all-in.

The first thing I wish I did differently is not focusing on how everyone else is showing up online. I wasted a lot of time and energy on studying how other female online business owners were presenting themselves online, the types of content they shared, how they dressed, etc... None of that matters, all I needed to do was show up as me 100% and serve my ideal client who needs my help.

Number two: I wish I reached out to people who had established personal brands and asked them for their hiring tips and biggest hiring mistakes. Even though ProjectME with Tiffany Carter is my second business, it is a personal brand, which is a completely different business model then my other online business. Therefor, the types of people I needed to hire were very different. I thought it would be smart to hire girls who had great social media accounts as it showed they understood digital marketing, WRONG. I attracted a bunch of people who wanted to be Insta-famous and were focused on building their business while using mine to get ahead.

The other three are best explained live, so download the episode to get all the juicy details.

Learn How to Write Posts and Create Content that fills your Social Media Following with People who buy from you EP170 Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

If your current social media audience isn't bring home the Benjamin's' you need to keep reading.

I know how frustrating it is to want to serve people so badly, you know you have this gift, and it feels likes no one is that interested. It can make you question your skill set, your business, and yourself. What makes it worse in when you see other people online getting tons of "likes," comments, and paying clients doing something similar to you, WTH?! What am I doing wrong?!!!

First of all let me knock out two myths for you: number one, you don't need a big audience in order to make great money online, it's about the type of people in your audience versus the size. Number two, just because someone is getting a ton of engagement on their posts and they have a hundreds of thousands of followers, doesn't mean they are making major money. (many of these 'influencers' apply for my coaching, not knowing how to monetize their audience)

Here's the thing, if your social media audience isn't consistently growing in size and engagement (even slowly) then your content is simply not captivating your ideal client. If month over month, your number of daily DM's aren't increasing (even by 1 or 2) and your account isn't growing, you are not serving what your ideal client is craving.

So Tiffany, "how do I fix it? I thought I was pouring my heart out in my writing and spending hours taking pictures and creating quotes."

BUT are you writing what you THINK your ideal client wants to learn and needs to hear, or are you just assuming. Because we all know what happens when we assume things right?

I'm going to teach you step by step how to create social media posts that will fill your audience with people who will buy from you. Listen to today's special training episode and get ready to step up your content game.

When its Time to Switch Careers and Gears, with guest, Regina Lawrence, Former Attorney Turned Soulful Business Strategist EP169 Jan 20, 2020

Show notes

Should I quit my job? How do I know when it's the right time? What if I fail?

These questions tortured me for six months before I ripped off the damn Band-Aid.

You know I freakin' love analogies, so get ready one is coming.

Leaving a solid career or job that you don't loooove anymore or maybe you never truly did, that is paying you well but not what you deserve, is like knowing you need to break off a relationship with the "but they are so nice" person. There are some things that feel so comfy and convenient, but it untimely leaves you joyless. Insert the guy I was dreading breaking up with because he was so good at setting up and managing all of the electronics in my house and business….plus "he was so nice."

Smart companies purposely design comp packages to give you just enough to be comfortable that it would be scary to leave. Hell I even had a company car, credit card, stock options, and giant office supply budget.

Leaving a crappy job with a miserable boss with low pay is like breaking up with an A-hole, way easier, and you know there is something better out there.

Whichever scenario you find yourself in, ONE fact is the same, you aren't happy. Most of us were taught that making great money and enjoying your work rarely exist together, and that's one of the saddest lies that has been passed down for generations.

I want you to listen to my interview today with Regina Lawrence, a former trial attorney and law school professor turned soulful business and life strategist. She left a successful career that she sweat blood and tears to achieve, and made a 180-degree pivot into the coaching world.

Why People Don't Follow through on their Goals, and How to Kick your Butt into Gear EP168 Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

80% of you will not follow through on your 2020 goals! FACTS!!!

This hard stat comes from US News and World Report.

The good news is 20% of you WILL achieve your 2020 goals, and I would like to help as many of you as possible be on this side of the equation.

From the well of over 1500 people I have coached and mentored, every single one of them has failed at achieving goals multiple times in their lives, ME INCLUDED. The fail-point actually occurs right from start. We unknowingly, subconsciously set ourselves up, by getting caught up in the yumminess of fantasy thinking.

It all usually starts around the end of November...mass media; social media, people surrounding us start talking about their plans for the New Year or "next year." Then we start slowly placing our New Year plans, goals, and visions into our mental magical fantasy filing cabinet.

It goes something like this:

You are searching for your seventeenth pair of black yoga pants, (but they are your favorites when you feel bloated), and your closet is "sooooo unorganized" it takes you ten minutes to find them. You proclaim to yourself, I'm going to make a point of being more organized in the New Year and Marie Kondo my closet. Instant dopamine (the feel good brain chemical) is released and you feel a wave of relief, empowerment, and satisfaction that just solved the problem.

Then while waiting for yoga class to start you start scrolling Instagram, and you see Polly the Princess social media influencer telling you she makes six-figures blogging…now your brain says, "I'm going to start a YouTube channel in the New Year, if she can do it I can too." Once again instant dopamine is released and you walk into your class feeling excited, empowered, and full of hope.

These fantasy index cards keep stacking up over the days leading to the New Year, and all of a sudden it's January First. The emotional pattern is typically excitement, motivated, determined to overwhelmed, discouraged, frustrated, disappointment, and then shame.

If this at all resonates with you, listen to this episode and learn how to regroup and regain traction on your real goals.

Rewire your Mind for Success Today, with Guest, Lindsey Mango, Mindset Expert for Women and Award Winning Entrepreneur EP167 Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

I've discovered there are 7 common traits in the way female millionaires think; let's see how many of them you have…

I came up with this list after being interviewed for special article coming out in Glamour Magazine on millionaire mindset. The writer asked me, "out of all the female millionaires you've coached, collaborated with, are friends with, what are their common traits?" (Insert…a loooong pause before I could answer.)

For those of you who have been part of the ProjectME Posse community for a while, you know that I am rarely at a loss for words, but this question really made me think. So I asked the writer if I could create a great list to best answer her question, thankfully she agreed.

My list started with 23 traits and I narrowed them down to these key seven:

Female Millionaire's may not know exactly how they are going to achieve their goals, but they are confident they will figure it out no matter what.
Female Millionaire's are critically aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and are resourceful in making sure they stay in their "strength zone."
Female Millionaire's are relentless in pursuit of their vision. They get knocked down many times, but they ALWAYS get back up and keep going even when battered and bruised.
Female Millionaire's have a small and strong inner circle support system. Most have few "real friends," but the people they do have are highly trusted and valued.
Female Millionaire's embrace the importance of putting themselves first and not in a selfish way, in the ProjectME way (we are the Most Exceptional Projects of our lives).
Female Millionaire's know how to promote and market their businesses in a way that feels great and fun to them, they enjoy SELLING!
Female Millionaire's give zero f*%cks about what "they" think, sure some things do sting but it doesn't stick to them.

Want to sink into this Female Millionaire Mindset further? I thought so. On today's podcast episode, I brought on Lindsey Mango, a boss lady who ditched her corporate life to start her own successful mindset coaching business. Her mission is to show women they are capable of doing anything they dream, in business and life.

Comparison is the Fastest Dream Killer; Let's Stop it Today! EP166 Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

One of the worst forms of metal abuse is the kind we inflict upon ourselves!

I was the MASTER at making my self feel like crap. The weird thing is I had zero idea that it was self-inflected…which is why I'm sharing this story with you today, as a mentor pointed it out to me several years ago, and it hit me between the eyes.

Comparison is form of self-sabotage and self-abuse. The scary reality is that is can be addictive.

The definition of addiction is you are doing something repeatedly that is robbing you of your health, mental wellbeing, spirituality, and/or livelihood, yet you continue to do it anyway. Going online and ending up in the Comparasionitis spin cycle and sink hole, and not doing anything to stop it, is a HUGE RED FLAG. The same holds true for doing this in person….you are at a networking event or at the gym, you find yourself comparing and making yourself feel less than, and yet you do nothing to stop this "habit."

THIS WAS ME.

I even would know that I needed to get off social media, it wasn't making me feel good, yet I continued to scroll-compare-critize my self on repeat. I sub-consciously would be looking for a "shame hit" as I call it, like a heroin addict is looking for a needle. Pure insanity, not healthy, yet I was in this addictive loop of self-abuse.

If you find yourself in this negative Comparasionitis spin once a week or more, do yourself a favor and listen to this episode. I will teach you how to stop this cycle, plus what to do when you find yourself in it. Otherwise the negative committee in your brain will continue to sabotage your dreams, and that my loves isn't an option.

Uncovering and Healing your Soul Wounds, with Guest, Miss Jordan, Spiritual Ascension Guide and Empathic Healer EP165 Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

How to align your energy with your 2020 goals…

The most important and priceless resource you have is your energy. As I always say, personalities can be faked, but energy cannot.

If your energy is out of alignment with your 2020 goals, they will not manifest into reality no matter how hard you work at it or how much money you throw at it. Believe me, Tiffany 1.0 tried it doesn't work.

Here's how you know if your energy is out of alignment with your vision: if your body are mind are tense, stressed, or anxious anytime you think, speak, or take action towards your goal…you my friend need an energy adjustment.

Our bodies never lie…our Ego's do.

Sometimes we think we want something but it's not our true soul calling. We get conditioned by society, our gender, money, and the media, to do certain things by certain ages and in a certain way…it's important that we tap into our bodies and our intuition, as this is where the truth lies.

To get that energy flowing towards our greatest good is a daily practice. I need you to establish a morning routine for 2020. An easy way to create one is to ask yourself, what would the person who already has what you desire do every morning? Would they pray, would they write, would they exercise, meditate, draw, listen to music, have creative time, etc…Now create a version of this. Yes I know it's not all possible right this minute, but a version of it is. There is always a creative way.

For next level energy flowing, I brought on an Elite Energy Guide and Empathic Healer to today's podcast. Miss Jordan's specialty is connecting you to the highest version of yourself led by the truth of your soul.

Packaging your Services so they are Guaranteed to Sell: A Step-By-Step Training EP164 Jan 01, 2020

Show notes

There is a strategy behind packaging your services to guarantee they will actually sell.

After all that is the point here right? You are running a business, not spending all of this time, heart, and energy for a hobby.

Most of my business-coaching clients come to me after they are fed up, exhausted, and feeling deflated after trying it all but their shiz still isn't selling, at least not with any ease.

I get it, I've been there. My first three years of business I spent hustling my bootie off doing tons of presentations and sales calls, with a less than impressive close rate (this is number of people who buy from you compared to the number of people/businesses you pitched). My rate was 35% at best.

Yes I made legit cash, around 200K per year, BUT, I was grinding away to make that number, so much so, that I wanted to quit on a weekly basis, as being an employee was waaaaay easier.

When I was on my last thread, I had heart to heart conversation with my self (I do this often BTW…only child syndrome perhaps)… "Tiffany you have come this far and spent countless hours working, sacrificed a social life, and I'm not going to let you quit just because it's hard right now. We just need to create a better way, there has to be one."

I took about ten days off from doing almost anything work related to reset my body and mind. It's amazing what happens when we slow down and rest. Who else gets their best and most creative ideas while on vacation or in the bathtub?

Instead me leaving you to figure all of this out the hard way, I'm paying it forward by sharing with you step-by-step how to package your services so they are guaranteed to sell. Learn how I increased my close-rate to 90%.

Wealth Mindset Transformation Tips and Exercises to Generate Maximum Abundance, with Guest, Taylor Simpson, Subconscious Mind Expert, Speaker, and Money Manifestation Coach EP163 Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

Guess what's standing between you and the multiple 6 or 7-figure life you desire?

It's not some special strategy (that can easily be taught or paid for).

It's not a different networking company.

It's not having more social media followers.

It's not you getting another certification or credential.

Some tough love here…you are the common denominator in all areas of your life.

It's you who is in your own way: The lack of belief in yourself, your lack of trust in yourself, your impatience, and most of all your willingness to surrender to a power greater than yourself (the Universe, God, angels, etc…).

Let's commit to being done with standing in the way of your dreams for 2020.

Let's leave these abundance blockers in 2019.

I've recorded a special episode for you today, and brought on a guest who is going to teach you how to train your mind to get the life of your desires.

Taylor Simpson is a Subconscious Mind Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Money Manifestation Coach.

Light a candle, break out the crystals, get your journal out, and open your mind to limitless possibilities.
