Hi lovely,

Tomorrow I head to LA for a conference with my mentor, Gina Devee. I’ll be surrounded by 100s of women entrepreneurs, many of whom LIGHTYEARS ahead of me in business. Their businesses are well-oiled machines! In the past my jealousy and fear would have kept me at home…

I used to avoid conferences like this because my “comparisonitis” would sink me into levels of defeat and self-doubt. That isn’t the case anymore, and I want to tell you why.

When I surround myself with highly successful women, their mindsets rub off on me. I have no choice but to “uplevel” my life and business when I’m in the same room as these powerful women. My vibration raises and my energy becomes magnetic. Their success fuels me because they show me what’s possible with daily action, hard work, and passion.

Every time you face the fear and show up despite the story in your head trying to keep you safe, your life will change for the better. When I show up to these conferences in the face of self-doubt, I always learn the most important lesson.

We’re all human! We’re all one. What’s personal is universal. We get to learn from each other and celebrate one another. That’s the whole point.

Jim Rohn, self-made billionaire has the best quote: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” What does this quote mean to you?

Back in the day when I was teaching in a low-vibrational space, complaint and low-salaries were the topics of conversation which left me uninspired and broke. I became the average of these conversations energetically and financially, totally unfulfilled.

Today I have a non-negotiable. I only spend time with people who lift me up or inspire me, both in business and in life. As an empath and highly sensitive person, I know what serves me and what doesn’t so I honor my needs without apology. This in the end, serves my loved ones as well.

Back to you, love. How can you uplevel this week? Who inspires you to live your purpose? Who are your champions and biggest supporters? You know the energy suckers in your life…. if they don’t serve you, find the friends/coaches/therapists who do.

Much love,
Chrissy

Hi lovely,

Do you ever struggle with perfection? As entrepreneurs it’s so easy to get bogged down by this unattainable goal. Perfection has been the biggest barrier for my success and it gets exhausting, right?!

Striving for perfection is actually a hidden recipe for procrastination, burnout, and pain.

If you find yourself waiting until your product/video/blog is PERFECT before you promote/sell/share, you gotta add this element to your work:

PLAY!

When you have fun, perfection no longer matters. Who wants to buy a product or coaching package from someone who is perfect, anyways?

When you add your personal playful touches to your brand, your followers will get to know you better and trust you more. As the experts say, consumers buy from people they know, like and trust. When you decide to be yourself and have fun in the process, you’ll naturally attract ideal clients into your sphere.

I have a personal and vulnerable example of choosing PLAY over PERFECTION.

Last week I upleveled big time by working with a videographer on a creative project for my new homepage. At times it totally sucked, not gonna lie. I couldn’t recite my script from start to finish and I felt pretty embarrassed. Yesterday my videographer sent me the blooper reel, and I want you to watch it.

Click on the image below and prepare for some big belly laughs. I’m not selling you anything. I’m simply showing you WHO I am: imperfect, silly, and ridiculous:

That’s me! Laughing at myself, kicking perfection to the curb.

How can you let go of perfection? How can you have fun with the creative process?

It’s called the “creative process” for a reason… Your products aren’t born out of your perfection, they’re created out of your authentic heart. Who you become in the process is what matters most.

Thanks for watching!

All my love,
Chrissy

I’m shaking things up over here at chrissybradysmith.com. I’ve been a women’s empowerment coach for well over a year now and something has been shifting in my heart.

Turns out I LOVE empowering women! Duh, that’s an obvious. After empowering individual clients and groups of women in my retreats this past year, I’ve discovered that I have another burning passion: Helping new coaches start their businesses.

There. I said it. Cat’s out of the bag. (Meow!)

From here on out, my emails and messages will be targeting new women coaches. I give you full permission to unsubscribe now if you no longer wish you receive my emails.

But more importantly, I want you to know that I LOVE and APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!!! Every response, comment, discovery session or private coaching session has lit me up more than you know. You have been my backbone. I love speaking into your heart. Thank you for receiving my messages with grace, and thank you for being the light that world so desperately needs.

So that’s it. From here on out, I’ll be supporting new coaches who want to start their own businesses but don’t know where or how to start. I’ll help you build a business that you love so you can get paid for your purpose and be of great service to the world. See what I did there? I’m talking to you…if you like the sound of that, definitely continue receiving my emails. If you wanna throw up in your mouth, feel free to unsubscribe! NO hard feelings, I’ll miss you dearly and wish you all the best.

This video will share more. I love you all.. I really do. Thank you for being such an engaging and empowering group.

All my love,

If you’re American, I hope you had a beautiful Fourth of July Weekend! This weekend I made my famous ribs up in the mountains, and brainstormed with my man about the next steps in my biz. We relaxed, hiked, and pondered and I’ve come back so refreshed and excited. That’s how vacation should be, right?

Throughout our business brainstorming session I caught myself asking the wrong questions which totally gave my power away. I hope this video can support you in asking the right questions so you can return to your precious purpose.. you know.. your special gift that the world so desperately needs.

Check out my Vlog: How to be successful NOW, by clicking on the image below!

You always have what it takes to be successful.  Everything you need is already inside of you. You don’t need to go looking at the “greats” to see how they did it. You can do it yourself, in your own unique way.

I have a game that I’d like to share with you that will support you in accessing your true greatness that already lives within you. It’s called Acting As If.

You see… when you act as if you’re already the success that you want to be… miracles begin to occur.

The Law of Attraction simply states that like attracts like. The more you create the vibration- the mental and emotional states- of already having something or being something, the faster you attract it to you.

This means thinking like, talking like, dressing like, acting like, and feeling like the person who has already achieved your goal. Successful people exude self-confidence! They know how to communicate what they want and what they don’t want, lovingly and clearly with no attachment to the outcome. They think anything is possible, take risks, and celebrate their successes.

As soon as you start acting as if you’re a success, you will start drawing to you the opportunities and people that will help you achieve your goals in real time.

Here’s a story…
Two weeks ago, I had two of my long time clients over for a celebration dinner to complete their 6 month VIP business building program…But it wasn’t your typical dinner party.

I turned this dinner into a game. I invited them to come over acting and dressing like they were 5 years into their businesses, making more money than they ever dreamed of, living the life they always wanted. We had conversation as if we were 5 years older and wiser.

Check out the rocking self-confidence of these business women!

They showed up wearing the hottest dresses and heels with courage oozing our of their beings. Our conversations where so HIGH VIBE! They didn’t get stuck in stories of not being good enough, instead they were already good enough and had so much to teach their younger selves. I wish you could have heard their answers when I asked them what they wish they had known 5 years ago!

I invite you to start dressing, thinking, feeling, and acting as if you’ve already achieved your goal. What action can you take to catapult your success forward? Who can you get on your team? Who do you need to be in order to bring your vision to a reality?

I can’t wait to hear from you, so please comment below to let me know your thoughts!

Much love,

Chrissy

Over the weekend I led my favorite retreat, Celebration of Woman.

Every workshop is just that, a celebration. A celebration of every size, shape, race, sound, and age of the feminine. The full range of “woman” is accepted and realized in this space.

I want to say thank you for the sisterhood, the tears, the beauty, the fight, the trust, the laugher, the empowerment, the stillness, the dance, the light, and the love. I’m forever grateful.

I acknowledge every woman who showed up in the face of fear and uncertainty! You inspire me to be the best woman I can be. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey Gorgeous!

Want to find your soulmate?
Want to move into your dream home?
Want to start a new career?
Want to build your own coaching business?

To be empowered in every area of your life, goal setting is a very important process and you have to be willing to see your goals through ’til the end. (With a zero excuses policy.)

This Empowered Woman’s Newsletter will teach you how to transform your fluffy, “good idea” goals into specific and measurable goals that are real, exciting, and attainable.

Check in with yourself and notice if you have any goals that you want to manifest for yourself in the next couple of months. Find your most important goal and write it down.

Notice if it’s a vague, “good idea” goal OR a specific and measurable goal.
Vague goals produce vague results. When there is no criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference or a good idea. To engage your subconscious mind, a goal or objective has to be measurable.

Vague Goal: I would like to own a nice home on the ocean.
Real Goal: I will own a 5,000-square-foot house on The Great Highway in San Francisco, California by 1 p.m. on May 18th, 2016.

See the difference?

Your turn.

Write out your REAL goal in detail. Imagine this being a request to the Universe. An order form to God. Include every detail possible because the Universe LOVES to be generous! She has to know what you want so She can deliver.

Your job now is to spend time every single morning, afternoon and night to visualize yourself living, breathing and experiencing this goal.

Wait a sec, I hear your skepticism. “You’re kidding me, right? I don’t have time for this visualization crap.” I’ve been there.

Don’t believe that this visualization will catapult your goals into realities? Some psychologists are now claiming that one hour of visualization is worth 7 hours of physical effort.

When you give your brain colorful, specific, and compelling pictures to manifest- it will find all the information necessary to bring that picture into reality for you. If you give your brain pictures of a relaxing vacation, an adoring soul mate, or a thriving coaching business, it will go to work achieving those goals.

But on the flipside- if you are constantly feeding it negative, fearful, and anxious pictures- guess what?-it will achieve those too.

So back to this visualization…Picture yourself living, breathing, and experiencing your goal with conviction and emotion.

How do you feel in your body? How do you feel emotionally? What are you wearing? Who is surrounding you? What does your schedule look like? How are you taking care of yourself? What does your schedule look like? Who have you hired to support you? What is possible?

I invite you to take this on like your life depends on it! I know this sounds corny, but if you can believe it, you can achieve it.

I’d love to hear your goal! Share it in the comments below. The more energy we put into your goals the better.

Much love,
Chrissy

P.S. I’m serious. Write your goal in the comments below.   If you need any support, I will personally give you feedback around how to make your goal more specific, measurable, and attainable. We’re all in this together.

Hey gorgeous,

I’ve missed you!! Here’s an update on where I’ve been the past three weeks:

• I traveled to Paris on my own and attended a conference with my business coach and received the most important coaching of my career… (more news to follow on that front!)
• I celebrated my birthday.
• I made BIG changes in my business.

Here are some lessons from my solo trip to Paris:

1. Human beings are meant to be of service! I learned this because I embarrassingly packed WAY too much for this trip and needed tons of help carrying my suitcase up and down the stairs of the metro. Complete strangers helped me without me even asking. Giving and receiving defines the flow of life. I was open to receiving their support, exchanged many smiles and “Merci’s” and the world became a little bit brighter.

2. When you surround yourself with powerful people, you become more powerful in the process. Jim Rohn says, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”  I went to this business conference because I wanted to get in the room with hundreds of high caliber of women who are doing amazing things in their businesses. Just being there brought my vibration up a notch, but actually getting on the microphone and asking for support caused me to uplevel and transform my limited thinking into more powerful belief systems about my worth as a business owner.

3. Self-Care cures just about everything. I was so jet-lagged my second day in Paris, that I decided to spend half the day at a Spa. Not only was my jet-lag totally cured after this experience, but all my fears of being in a foreign country were released because my nervous system was eased and nourished. I left the spa confident, excited, massaged, soaked, and scrubbed.

4. Women operate in seasons. Sometimes we’re in a winter storm full of action and movement. Sometimes we’re in the valley, simmering and resting. Sometimes we’re pregnant with ideas, and then in the Spring we get to birth these concepts into reality. I’ve personally been in a valley this past month.. journaling, simmering, and brainstorming about the next level of my business and life. Every season requires action and support! I went to Paris (inside my valley season) and got the coaching I needed even though I was so scared to bring my truth to the mic. The support I received got me out of the valley and back into my purpose.

5. Have a ritual on your birthday. Being born is such a big deal… your egg was chosen to be fertilized, your mother labored and delivered you, and a new life was brought to the earth. You were born to be YOU, not anyone else.  I was on my own for my birthday this year, and I could have easily forgotten about it and pretended like it didn’t happen. Instead I made sure to take out my journal to celebrate all of my accomplishments from this past year, and examined patterns and habits that no longer served me. I surrendered those patterns to Spirt, asked for some miracles, and began journaling about everything I wanted to manifest this next year. With intention, love, and celebration, I turned 29 on my own in the city of lights. My attitude could have let this birthday suck (trust me.. I was close!!) but I returned to my true self and thanked Her for showing up regardless of the circumstance.

So let me ask you…
What habits and patterns no longer serve you?
What season are you in and where do you want to be?
How can you take better care of yourself?
Who are you spending your time with and are these relationships serving you?
Where do you want to be of better service? Are you receiving the service from others with grace?

Let me know in the comments below.

To your and your greatness,
Chrissy

Hey gorgeous,

I have a confession. I broke my own rules and went out of town last night and didn’t return until this evening. This spontaneous decision went against my Monday routine, but I learned so much about myself and what women leaders truly need in the process.

I decided to shoot a quick video to share about my experience while returning home in Steve’s awesome Van! Hope you enjoy my camping hair!

Watch the video below:

Happy Monday!

All my love,
Chrissy
