Drumroll, please!

It is December, and we have finally reached the end of the “What’s in Your Toolkit?” series and I am in awe and thankful.

In awe of all the amazing women who chose to tell their stories and thankful for the tools they shared.

As I shared with all the women when I reached out to them and also in a post from earlier in the year where I shared Five Tools in my Personal Toolkit.

“I started this blog in 2017 to tell However, one of my 2020 blog goals is to share the broken pieces of other women’s stories sprinkled with silver lining perspectives…” . Funny stories like that time I got drunk for the first time and drunk dialed my mom, reflective stories about stupid choices and God’s redeeming love, and jaw-dropping tales like that one time, more like four times, random guys on the D.C. metro decided I was the perfect centerpiece to jerk off to. Ultimately, I have shared “my life’s broken pieces sprinkled with silver lining perspective” through personal narratives. And I want to keep doing that.

Hence, the birth of the monthly “WHAT’S IN YOUR TOOLKIT?” series.

To finish out the year and series, we are focusing on 2021, and I am excited to share wisdom from another formidable woman who is also my friend. Let’s get to it!

Tool: Abundance Mindset

One of the most powerful items that I have in my 2021 toolkit is an abundance mindset. This is fueled both by my faith as a Christian and one of the books that I read in 2020 called Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. I mention my faith because the bible tells us to speak things though they are not as they are. That essentially is telling us to speak things into existence. The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind book also talks a lot about our capacity for wealth, and how we sabotage increase when we aren’t mentally ready for it.

One of the first places that I’ve chosen to apply this principle is with my wedding planning business, Statuesque Events. It’s amazing that as soon as I made the decision to seek abundance, I started to attract some of the highest paying and easy to work with clients even in the midst of a pandemic. Instead of closing the doors to my business, or waiting it out until the world “returns to normal” I’m actually looking forward to a phenomenal 2021 wedding season all because I chose to focus on abundance (and then do the work of course).

Another place that I’m choosing to apply this principle is in my coaching business for other wedding planners. I chose to invest time and energy into launching a robust coaching program for wedding planners, and just after doing so, I began to receive some of the most amazing testimonials from past event professionals that I coached. All of them had actionable and revenue based results from the coaching that I provided which is perfect for promoting my upcoming program. I’m choosing to apply this principle in just about every area of my life — time, dating and more while enjoying the ride in the process! The news may be negative, but I’ve chosen to receive abundance in 2021. Its the biggest tool in my 2021 toolkit.
