The Floral Hustle

  📍

Flower friends, I want to talk to you about a mindset shift and this mindset shift is probably one of the biggest shifts that I personally made that I think has gotten me here and that shift not only impacted my business, it impacted my life, it impacted just the bigger picture of what was in store for me in my life, the happiness that I was able to achieve, the you.

Satisfaction in so many areas in my life. And of course, do I wish things were even better than they were? Of course. Like, I am an achiever. I want big things in my life. But this shift that I'm hoping that you can start to just drip into your life and drip into your business, that will be the catalyst for change.

Things will look different from now on and you're probably like, okay, get to it now. Um, that shift is Success is inevitable. I am Like everything is just happening and it's not When it's happening It's just I'm not hoping for success. It is going to fucking happen Big things are going to happen for you, and I think we've been programmed in a million different ways To be like, whoa, you better put the brakes on because, you know, like it's going to be hard work.

Whoa, do you want to leave your safety of your job because, you know, this might not work. Like, we're basically deprogrammed for success. And I started, I mean, my whole life I was literally talked to in a way that I felt like I wasn't good enough. I felt like a failure. I felt like, you know, this, I'm, you know, Kind of just lucky that, that these things have happened to me because, uh, it, it wasn't logical to my, my mother, my dad to have success without working really super fucking hard for it.

And I do work super hard for the success that I have, but in a way that feels really good. I mean, when I grew up, I remember my mom. Um, worked at the Mayo Clinic, if you're not familiar with that, it's one of the biggest hospital kind of systems and it's based here in Minnesota and she had worked there for 30 years and she had worked as a nurse, she had worked nights, she had worked, she actually worked as a secretary and went back to school to become a nurse and I remember being little and going through that whole hospital.

Thing of when she was in school, we had like a skeleton system sitting on her couch and my mom was studying bones. And I just, I remember all of that, like work that she was going through. And my, um, dad was inevitably an entrepreneur, but an entrepreneur that really didn't want to work very hard and had a series of health issues that made it very easy for him to say that I don't want to work.

And so. I had watched these people just like either half ass it or work so hard that they were just exhausted. And so I just thought that that's how it was supposed to be. And so I also, over the years, have just had to deprogram myself that my success or my ability to be successful is directly tied with me working really, really hard.

Which is a really hard shift when you have this. And I mean, the podcast is named after this, like this hustle culture that teaches us that you need to work hard. And do I think that there are seasons that you should be really in that growth mode, or you should be in that development mode and the refining mode.

And then, you know, there, there are those ebbs and flows, but. Throughout all of that, the biggest shift is that I stopped believing that success was going to be hard, that I deserved success, and my success was inevitable. So what would it look like for you to every day wake up and be like, I am going to have the life that I want.

I am going to have a life that I love. Success is inevitable for me. I talked to myself in a completely different way than I did 10 years ago. And I worked for, I, I was one of those people that like, when I committed to something, I am very committed. And I'm not one that was hopping in and out of different jobs and changing jobs.

My first job that right out of high school, I literally did for five years. Um, I sold cars when I sold cars, and I was a manager at automotive dealerships for seven years. I worked@carsoup.com and was the director of sales there for 10 years. So like when I commit to something, I'm going all in. And during that whole time of working in automotive and marketing, I worked on building my business and I worked in the background.

To get my business where it was in. I work sometimes really, really hard. I remember this is before children. I had 125 weddings and this is like when I was doing it all wrong at 125 weddings and I Literally worked full time. I had that I was married to my first husband Which was just about the laziest MF that you probably have ever run into And I was taking care of our house and all of the animals and the responsibilities because we had a dog and we had a cat and all those things, like, were falling on me.

And I was doing all of that and I was just working so hard and I was like, God, this just feels really hard. And even now I have moments that I'm like, fuck, this just feels so hard. This is, like, the week. And this is very few and far between, like, I think, I would say, a few weeks ago, this felt hard when I had the workshop going on, and during the workshop, um, it was the business bouquets and branding, which was one of the most amazing workshops that I had.

Um, Uh, I think I've had to date. It was so fun. And the, all the women there walked away with these amazing branding photos. Some of them got branding videos. Like, we talked about so many business. We made two different types of bouquets. It was just like this really immersive experience. And I really tried to make These experiences like just so fun and unique and with that We had because it was very warm in there and I actually think I had defective foam um, we had over a hundred hydrangeas go down and so like a hundred hydrangeas like bit the dust and So I had to go and we're like figuring out getting a hundred more hydrangeas on the day We're taking photos and doing all the things and like My wholesaler originally kind of shorted me some hydrangeas because they didn't come in on a truck and just on and on and I was like then I'd come home and I'm getting all the bouquets sorted and I'm doing all these things and my daughter was just having a really hard week with school.

My son was not feeling great. Um, I was having people come here to the house 'cause part of that workshop was coming to see my home base studio and how I run over $350,000 of weddings out of my two and a half car garage. So like, I felt like this was just so hard. But then I, the next week I was like, this isn't hard at all.

It was just like a moment. And I think we always have moments, but one thing that I think has really rang home on. Success being inevitable is that I am inevitably consistent. And so I do things so freaking consistent. This podcast, so consistent. My mastermind. Us girls, we're so consistent. I'm invoxer every day, answering all of their questions that they have.

I'm, you know, refining and making sure that all of them have the tools that they need. Like, we're doing the weekly calls. We're, we're just, I'm always consistent on making sure that they're getting what they need. And so that has just made this mastermind into this really powerful tool for these women.

Because I've been consistently helping them. I have been in masterminds that the person running the mastermind, like, didn't answer any voxer calls for like four to five days. Just like went off the grid. I consistently go and work out about four times a week. I consistently do everything in my life all the way down to my Sunday night prep to get prepared for the week.

When you have consistency, your success becomes more inevitable. So I'd love for you to sit back and reflect. Is my success inevitable? And if you answer yes or no, I think that that's a big telltale sign of what is really going on in your head and how, how you're really feeling about your business. But if you can't say yes it is, I want you to start thinking, how can I start on this path to my success being inevitable by being more consistent?

If you become more consistent, In showing up, in networking, in showing up and taking care of yourself, in so many aspects of your life, if you just started being consistent with them, I swear to God, your success will become inevitable. And that is an amazing feeling. Like, showing up consistently on social media and not having to feel like that, that shame spiral of like, oh, I haven't really showed up on social media for like three fucking months.

Well, what the fuck, people? Like, you think that we're going to be having these amazing results and we're not putting the work in. So, in part of this exercise, I would love for you to even reflect like, am I actually doing the work commensurate with the results that I'm wanting? Because sometimes, like, that reflection is eye opening.

I'm, I, and I meet with people who are like, I want to have an X amount of year business. And I'm like, Okay. How much time are you dedicating to this? Like, what are you doing to get this results? And they're like, I want to pay myself a hundred thousand dollars a year. And. I'm like, holy shit, how is that going to happen when you're working 10 hours a week?

Most people do not have that happen, work at their full time job, that they're investing a ton of time and energy into, a ton of resources, a ton of their capacity. They aren't getting it there, so how are we magically going to pay ourselves 100, 000 if we are not hustling? If we are not putting in that 100, 000 effort?

When you put in that 100, 000 effort, And you do that consistently, you don't just do it this month and then next month you ghost it. That success that comes from that consistency will become inevitable. So, write yourself a post it note. My success is inevitable. Go into the bathroom, put it on the mirror.

Put it a phone screensaver. My success is inevitable. And then become so consistent in supporting that, that it is. It just truly is. Inevitable. Thank you so much for listening flower friend and you have an amazing flower 📍 filled week
