RIP to your broke beliefs 🪦
Jillian Minter Business & Money Coach Hey Reader, Let's talk about the belief that's been haunting your bank account. 👻 You know the one. It's the little voice that says I can't charge that. Or that's just not for people like me. Or I'll raise my prices after I get more proof... It's been following you around for years, and it's probably the reason your income keeps landing in the same spot no matter how hard you work. I also know it's decision season for entrepreneurs. AKA time to plan for...
about 4 hours ago • 2 min readi said yes, then i said no (and i'm not sorry)
I got home from two weeks in Europe, and less than 48 hours later, I was on the phone turning someone down. A friend of mine is putting something together. Months ago, when she first told me about it, I said yes. I wanted to go. I meant it at the time. I really did. Then I actually looked at my life. My mom is in hospice, and I've been flying back and forth to see her all year. I had multiple trips in August. A big one in September. I just got back from two weeks in Europe. And I'm only home...

"No one ever comes to Seattle." That's what my client Tamara told herself while she scrolled the city list on a Lululemon summer series ad. Brand activations always seemed to land in California or Arizona. But Seattle was on the list. Her next thought: they've probably already hired someone. She declared it out loud anyway. "I want to work with Lululemon." That same day (I kid you not, same day) a vendor friend texted her. No details. Just: "Are you available for this day? I have a client who...

I canceled my storage unit contract and signed a brand new one. For the unit next door…. Literally, I moved from unit 2096 to 2097. Let me provide you some backstory: Storage units in Washington are a racket. They charge month to month, and then the price goes up like every three months or so, until you're so fed up you have to move. There is one person renting a unit at my storage place for $2,200 a month. This means if you don’t want to spend a bunch (which I realize is a very untechnical,...

I am reporting to you live from….. home! Which literally never happens these days. I just got back from almost two weeks in Budapest and Dubrovnik, and I'm home in Seattle for 28 days straight, which I haven't had in six whole months!!! Here’s a quick recap on my trip: in Budapest we went to a wine festival inside an actual castle, which is a sentence I still can't believe I get to say about my own life. (I did a whole carousel about this if you want the visual: [See the carousel →]) Budapest...
26 days ago • 3 min readthe answer was in there. she missed it 3 times.
A client of mine signed up for an online Abraham Hicks workshop after hearing me talk about it. She was excited. She even submitted a question ahead of time, hoping to get called on live. She didn't get picked. Which happens — they get thousands of questions, and not everyone can get an answer in real time. No big deal. After it wrapped, she told me she didn't get picked. I was bummed for her. So I asked her the obvious thing: well, did you get what you needed anyway? She said no. Then I...

In August I was on a personal development bender. me consuming as much personal development as possible A solo trip to Camelback in Arizona. My first-ever Powerhouse Women event in Scottsdale. Two full days with Abraham Hicks at home in Seattle. Back to back to back. Trips, conferences, small networking events in between, workshops — the works. The kind of month where you're collecting emails and downloads faster than you can write them down. What you sometimes don't realize when you're at...

There's nothing like the first autumn breeze. 🍂 I mean it....Nothing. I've been in Reno, where it's been warm. Like way tooooo warm. Not super hot, but warm enough that you have to think about when you go out. And you know what I need in my life? Flexibility. My mornings are already spoken for — that's gym time, non-negotiable. So I need weather that lets me walk my dog whenever, not just in a narrow window before it gets too hot. And then this week — one day — the air just...changed. I...

I just got back from a spa vacation and I have a bone to pick. Not with you, Reader. With sauna culture. With whatever silent agreement we all apparently did NOT make about how to behave inside a small hot wooden box. Let me set the scene…. The Omni came highly recommended. Everyone raved. I walked in expecting deep exhales and dim lighting and the kind of quiet that lets your whole nervous system finally unclench. outside the Omni Spa in Scottsdale Arizona Instead? It was so loud I couldn't...

Jillian Minter Business & Money Coach Hi Reader, Let's be clear about where you're at. You're not struggling. You have clients. You're selling. Money's coming in. It's just not the money you actually want — and you're working harder than you should have to for the money you've got. So here's what most people do when they want more: take on more clients. Add more offers. Work more hours. Cram more onto an already full plate. Does it work? Sure. For a while. It's a bandaid, and it's not...
