VIDEO: How to Stop Holding Yourself Back from Being Happy
“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.” — Paulo Coelho
Are you happy with your life as it is right now?
Or are you postponing your happiness until later?
If you find yourself constantly living in the future while being miserable in the present, you might be holding yourself back from being happy.
You might be delaying your happiness until certain circumstances change in your life.
If you’ve been holding yourself back from doing what you really want to do with your life, the video below could help you shift your mindset.
VIDEO: 5 Things You Need to Turn Your Side Hustle Into a Full-Time Business
Contrary to popular belief, it is totally possible to build a successful business while you still have a 9 to 5 job. In my case, I started my first business as a consultant back in 2008 while I was still working at a nonprofit in DC. My little “side hustle” grew to the point when I was earning a nice supplemental income and ultimately enabled me to leave my job less than 2 years later.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor numerous women in our Happy Black Woman community, helping them to stop procrastinating and finally get their businesses off the ground. Now, some women are perfectly happy to build an additional income stream on the side, but most ladies that come to me for help are looking to eventually be able to quit their jobs so they can live life on their own terms. The problem is…there are usually a few key pieces missing from their plan.
If you’ve been longing to grow your side hustle into a full-time business, you might be missing one of the following things. In the video below, I walk you through a handy list to guide you in building the momentum you need to move forward!

3 Ways to Remove Negative Energy from Your Life (VIDEO)
In today’s video post, I share three ways to remove negative energy from your life. Once you remove these energetic blocks, you are able to create more space for happiness and success.
In the video, I outline these three ways to release negative energy from your life:
Remove negative people.
The people you allow into your life can have a profound influence on your thoughts and actions. As a result, if you’re surrounded by negative people most of the time, your progress in life can be hindered. When you hang around people that constantly complain and gossip, it drags you down into the dumps with them as well. Do what you have to do to remove these folks from your life (or at least limit your exposure to them), whether that means not sitting next to them at lunch in the company cafeteria, declining their invitations to hang out or unfriending them on social media.
Remove negative media.
Media can have a very strong effect on how we think and behave. That’s what most commercials, TV shows and news broadcasts are really all about. Watch what you watch! All the reality TV isn’t just “entertainment”, it can be detrimental to your mindset and serve as an excuse to judge people you don’t even know. And when it comes to the news, remember that if you put too much fear-based information into your brain (which is what most “news” is these days), you will begin to worry more and develop a more cynical worldview.
Two Ways to Set Effective Goals (VIDEO)
In today’s video post, I share two simple, yet powerful strategies for setting effective goals. If you use these tips, they will help you get clear about your goal and push you to accomplish it faster.
In the video, I share the following goal-setting tips:
Be specific. (What exactly do you want to achieve?)
If you want to achieve any goal, it helps to be as specific as possible. Don’t be afraid to tell the universe exactly what you want! Remember that vague goals often produce vague results. For example, “I want to make more money” is a pretty vague goal. Everybody wants to make more money, right? But how MUCH more do you want to make? If you were to say, “I want to be earning $50,000 per year,″ that would be more specific. (And more inspiring as well!)
