many people are getting it wrong . Being true to you does NOT mean sharing everything you are feeling IN THE MOMENT .
That ’ s actually called airing your dirty laundry , and while it may give you a little boost and some kudos and make you feel good for about two seconds , it seriously undermines your authority and decreases the likelihood that people are going to trust you enough to pay for your programs ( because obviously you can ’ t get your shit together ).

Then let people know what you learned from it . Not only will this help others , but it is extremely empowering to share what happened , how you dealt with it , and what everyone can learn from it .
7 . Stop Trying To Declutter , Live Small , or Buy a Tiny Fucking House . This is the WORST . Right now everyone is trying to practically apologize for living and seeing how well they can outdo one another by living on the crumbs on nothing .
Listen , I ’ m not advocating destroying the planet , but if you would just buy what you want , do what you want , and live how you want , you ’ d be much happier than worrying about how small you can be . Plus , you ’ ll get more clear on what you DO want so in many cases you ’ ll actually accomplish your goals but in a much more fun and expansive way ! Don ’ t believe me ? Try it .
People need others who will stand up and show what ’ s possible . Stop acting like you don ’ t have a right to be here or have anything .
8 . Add More . Instead of trying to declutter or throw out a bunch of things , stop worrying about it and start getting new things . Things you actually LOVE . Things that make you smile . The things you REALLY want .
