The Floral Hustle

  📍

Hello flower friends. On this week's vintage sode, we are going to talk about what if you have this massive to-do list, or what if you just have all of these goals and you're like, I don't wanna do shit today, or I have no motivation. What do you do to get motivation, or what do you do to start taking action?

And this is actually a question that came from the floral CEO Mastermind in our life coaching session. So once a month we do a life coaching session and we were really talking through, uh, like my. Daily, weekly, monthly strategies to get a massive amount of things done. And in this, we were going through, you know, all of these things that I do.

And then like one of the girls just asked, what if I don't feel like doing any of it? What if I don't feel like doing anything? Like what if I just can't muster the momentum and. That is a very real question that many of you probably have been, you know, laying in bed on a Saturday morning with every good intention of going and running to yoga, or going to CrossFit or running and totally crossing the lines off of a shit ton of things on your to-do list and you just wanna sleep or.

Your kids were up in the middle of the night, and so you were just running around like a crack addict because you're so exhausted and you have three proposals to do. You have this week's wedding to get prepped for and you just don't wanna do any of it. Most of this I have found in my experience, and as a certified.

Life coach that literally we did so much neurolinguistic pro, like reprogramming, and we used different tools like EFTI learned and got certified in hypnosis. A lot of this is in the foundational part of your brain is that you want to be safe doing hard things. Getting outta your comfort zone, making your business successful, potentially changing your routine, changing your life, all of that shit can be scary.

Your body, your mind is wired to try to keep you safe. Change is unsafe. Hard work to someone who is not used to that is. Your body's reaction is to run the other direction. That is how, if that is how you have lived your life, that you have always played it safe. You have always been kind of even keel. You have always kind of run in the other direction of really pushing yourself, of you've, you know, always done the safe route, had the day job done, all of the, the safe things.

So anything that feels unsafe, your body and your mind are trying to protect you to stay safe. So they're nudging you in the direction to give up, and I always visualize. Like this really sexy devil Jenny, sitting on my left shoulder and this little like white moo dress angel on my right corner with these beautiful angel wings, like talking to me, no, you should sleep in today.

And then the angel's like, yeah, but if you wanna ever bounce a quarter off your ass gen, you need to get up and go to CrossFit. Like. These internal struggles are totally normal, but how do we get past that? How do we get past really thinking that all we're doing is failing, and how do we just start rewiring our programming for success?

And I think foundationally, this starts in the way you talk to yourself. The first thing is. If you are someone that is, says you are not good a, a good business person, or you are not good at business, but your books are something that are very important and you need to make sure that you're making money to be able to do all these big things, et cetera.

So you are working hard every day at becoming better at being a business owner. We remove, I suck at or I'm not good at, and I literally catch myself saying stuff like that. I even like will clap my hands and just say like, I don't talk to myself in that way. Just like I say, I don't do overwhelm. I don't talk to myself in a shitty way.

So stepping in and claiming like, you are not just supporting this. Give your pan, you're putting your give up panties on attitude about your success. So if you are not good at business, what are you gonna do to get better at it? Can we stop saying, because if 95% of what we're thinking is subconscious and 5% is coming out of our mouth, just think of how your body is really thinking.

You suck. At whatever thing that you're saying you suck at, if you are verbally saying it, you are basically sinking your ship in the middle of the ocean because there's no hope. Your body, your mind are so committed to what you are saying, that it is going to be stuck. People who say they are not good at relationships, people who are saying they're not good at public speaking.

People who say they're not good at networking people. I've heard people say they're not good at working out. They're not good at managing their task list. They're not good at getting out of bed. There are a million things that everybody could be better at, but I don't suck at any of them. Because if I truly want to make it better, I start talking to myself in a way that supports that next level version.

So that is the next component. You need to start to embody that person, the person who does those things. So I embody, and I am telling you right now, and I have on multiple podcasts, I get more than the average person does. I don't give up. I am relentless. I go and attack to-do list. I make sure that I'm always ice chipping away at everything.

I don't just leave things to all of a sudden like thinking they're going to fucking happen because they're not. I am the the force of nature that will make all of my dreams come true. I am a force of nature. And that seems like a really heady, arrogant thing to say, but you know what? Like my life is, I get more done than the average person because I am a force of nature.

Nothing can stop me. What would happen if you stepped into your life and your power and you said, I am unstoppable. I am relentless. I will fucking win at whatever it is. Whatever it is that I put my mind to, like, I will not stop until I win, until my version of what I want my success to look like is made.

What if you were relentless? What if you were like. This Saturday, I am totally gonna kick its ass. I'm gonna get outta bed at eight and I am gonna go to yoga, and then I'm gonna go and get that shit at Menards. Then I'm gonna go and stop at Hobby Lobby to grab that thing that I got, and you just have this well laid out plan and I'm gonna stop and get a salad.

So I eat really healthy, so my body feels good. Okay, then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna snuggle my kids because dad was giving me a break to go do all these things and I'm gonna snuggle on them and show them how important they are. And then I'm gonna spend quality time and I'm gonna bring and do something fun with them.

And then that night when I tuck them into bed, I'm gonna get all my emails done for the day. I'm gonna get that proposal done. What if you just spoke that, that it was just happening? And, and sometimes, I mean, sometimes you have to give yourself grace, but I rarely give myself grace, even in the craziest of times because I know that if I fall off the wagon, it, it is really easy to start sliding downhill, backwards.

And I just don't do that. That's not how I run my life. That's not how I'm, what I'm showing my children. I am showing my children that you can do anything. I'm showing them that they can dominate. I am showing you guys like that you can perform at a higher level, that you can have this bigger, richer life.

I mean, I just even think about this weekend you guys, 'cause we are moving next week and this weekend. I did two weddings. One of them was a bigger one, one of them was an a la carte wedding. I had three trailer loads of shit go down, down. I had, um, hired someone to do a bunch of housework and they were helping with a bunch of things.

Uh, I ran to Menards and ordered carpet. I went and brought my son to his. Um, posts or pre-op physical for his procedure that he is having done. He's having an endoscopy done tomorrow. Uh, I shoveled shit. I completely cleaned out my studio of all these things that were just dropped there. I went to the Dollar store, I went to Menards again.

I got Perkins for everybody. I grabbed pizzas the night before I worked out. I, uh. Oh God. I led my alpaca on her halter. I, um. I got my daughter a new bunny and got it settled in with the, uh, with Ginger Snap and then saw and didn't feel completely comfortable with them being in the same cage. So then I went and got chicken wire and I completely created a barrier so that they are going to be besties right next to each other, but not able to like.

Stomping each other and God, what else did I do? Oh, I cuddled my children a bunch. Um, and Bella was having a hard weekend, so I spent extra time with her. Oh, I completely, I had my neighbor come over with his skid loader and scrape out a bunch of grass, and I planted about like 50 plants, um, vegetables and seeds.

So. I mean, I mean I planted about 50 plants and then a bunch of seeds. So whatever you put your mind to, but I went into the weekend going, this is what I'm going to get accomplished, and so nothing creeped up. I actually woke up ahead of time on Sunday ready to run to Dollar Tree to get all these like.

Things that, like I wanted hand sanitizer near all my animal crap, and I needed more gauze pads because I've been bandage and then re bandaging our new goat Lucky's ear because one of the other goats like bit it or something. And then, oh, I wrestled with one of the goats because one of our goats is pregnant.

And I don't know how pregnant. And so like all of a sudden I looked and her lady bits were huge and I'm like, oh my God, maybe she's gonna be having a baby soon. 'cause then I should put her in one of the things. So I like wrestled her down to check her utter. Like this is the craziest thing. So like when I think about what I'm saying, I just start in my head going.

Whoa. Like I wrestled a goat down to make, to just kind of check and see if her butter was hard to see if she's gonna be having a baby soon. So like all of that, like I just know that I am going to crush my weekend. And what if you went into your week? What if you went into your for one prepared? I went into my weekend with a plan, full plan.

Everything's timed out like a rockstar calendar's filled out. Family knows what's going on. And you can too. So you can be relentless. You can be unstoppable flower friend. You just need to start to decide and start to talk to yourself in a way that supports it. If you need weekly support, if you need monthly support, whatever it is, you need a good kick in the pants.
