Beyond Motivation: How You Can Create Massive Success
Ever found yourself stuck waiting for that perfect surge of motivation to build your business while watching others thrive? You're not alone. The shocking truth is that the women crushing it online aren't riding waves of constant inspiration—they've mastered something far more powerful!
This episode exposes the unreliable nature of motivation as the fair-weathered friend it truly is. Motivation feels great, but it's an emotion that comes and goes without warning. So how do you take action regardless of how you feel?
I share my personal journey from being motivation-dependent to making success non-negotiable, and how this fundamental shift transformed not only my business and life but the lives of many of the women I work with.
You'll discover three game-changing secrets that successful women use to stay consistent without relying on emotional fuel.
The most successful entrepreneurs aren't special or lucky—they've simply harnessed this non-negotiable tactic.
You don't want to miss this episode.
And DM me @fiercemomboss the word "fire" on Instagram for my Disciplined CEO guide and start building the discipline muscle that will set your business ablaze. You weren't meant to blend in; you were born to stand out and set this world on fire.

Welcome back to the she's On Fire podcast. So I want to ask you something. I want you to think about this how many times have you wanted to build your business, but you just didn't feel like it? You wake up and you just didn't feel like it. You were waiting for motivation to hit, but it just never came. I want you to be honest. You see other women crushing it online, showing up, making money, building their dream life, and you're over here thinking like why can't I get myself to do the same thing? What's wrong with me? Here's the truth. You don't need more motivation. Motivation is all around us. You can find it everywhere. Okay, you can go on YouTube. You can get motivational videos. You can listen to the she's On Fire podcast. You can read some of my emails. Right, you need discipline, and today I'm going to show you exactly how to make discipline your non-negotiable weapon for success. So if you've been stuck waiting for that perfect moment, that magical surge of energy to finally go all in, then I want you to buckle up, because we're going to set your business on fire. So let me tell you a little story.
Speaker 1:When I first started my business, I was so pumped. I had this big dream. I was so excited I was ready to take on the world. Did you ever feel like that? Did you feel like that in the beginning? Well then things started to set in. I'd wake up and not feel like working. I'd get nervous about posting online. I'd tell myself, I'm going to do this tomorrow. I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'm going to do that tomorrow, I'm going to do this other thing tomorrow. But guess what? Tomorrow never came. I mean, it did, but not in the way I needed it to. I'd scroll on social media. I'd see women making money, getting clients, building brands, and I was stuck waiting to feel ready.
Speaker 1:One day I realized something. I was reading a book about motivation, actually, but something stuck out to me and I realized motivation is an emotion and emotions are unreliable. Discipline, on the other hand, is a decision, and the women who win. They don't wait till they feel like it. They don't wait till they feel like it to take action. They do it anyway. And that's really when everything changed for me. I stopped making success optional. I made it non-negotiable, and today I'm going to give you three things, three secrets, if you will, that will really flip the switch in your brain and turn you into a woman who doesn't need motivation because she's a freaking force. Motivation is great, listening to motivational speakers is great. I'm not saying you should ever do that. It's not a bad thing but you're going to have to understand that discipline is the decision that you need to make.
Speaker 1:So the first thing I want you to know is motivation is a liar, all right, motivation is like your fair weathered friend it shows up when it feels like it and it disappears the minute things get difficult. So I want you to think about this what if you only showed up for your kids? You only showed up for your kids, your relationships, whatever when you felt like it, right. What if you only did it when you felt like it? We'd never be showing up, because really do I want to get up in the middle of the night Because I hear my daughter yelling mama, no Right, I'm not going to tell her, go back to bed, you know. So what if you only showed up when you felt like it for your kids, for your relationships, for your dreams?
Speaker 1:Successful women don't rely on emotions to get things done, and I have really learned this a lot, especially in the last year. They wake up and they make it happen, no matter what, no excuses. So here's what I want you to do Instead of asking, instead of allowing your brain to say, do I feel like doing this today? I want you to start asking what would the successful version of me do right now? Then do that, whatever that is. What would the successful version of me do right now when you say, oh, I don't feel like posting right now, it's your time to sit down and do your content. I don't feel like posting right now, I don't feel like writing emails right now. That's the feeling. But what would the successful version of you do right in that moment? Answer that question and then do that.
Speaker 1:Secret two make success a non-negotiable. Most women treat success like it's a nice to have thing. Most women okay, the majority of women are not out there crushing it. I hate to say it, but it's true. Most women treat success like a nice-to-have instead of a must.
Speaker 1:When you make success non-negotiable, you don't give yourself an out. You don't let yourself slack off. You act like your business is already successful and you have to show up accordingly for it. You don't let the excuses come in. You don't let the things take over your life come in. You don't let the things take over your life.
Speaker 1:I always talk about this because it's a really important analogy is what would the CEO say of Disney? Do the CEO say of Disney, do I really want you to think about this, that successful person, what would they do? You can't say, well, they're already successful, so they have to do it. No, that's not true. You have to act like your business is already successful and you have to show up accordingly for it. So I want you to set three non-negotiables for your business every single day, whether it's posting, networking, selling, selling is really important. I see so many women out there who are just posting content, posting content, and they're never selling.
Speaker 1:Set three non-negotiables that move the needle and then no excuses, zero excuses. You have to do them, no matter what. Now will there be things that come up, absolutely. I know this. You know firsthand my daughter. All of a sudden she had, you know, when she was a baby, she had a stroke. People know this, this story. She still has residual effects from it. Things come up, but what I have learned in the last year and really in the last six months, make things non-negotiable. Yes, things are going to happen, but I still have to do these things. This is how somebody becomes successful.
Speaker 1:Number three discipline is a muscle. You have to train it every single day. The women who succeed aren't special over you I'm not going to say they're not special, because I believe that every woman's special and has special talents and has something to offer this world to make an impact but they're not. They're not special over you and they're not lucky. They have more reps in the discipline gym because discipline is a muscle. You have to train it, you have to work it. You don't wake up one day disciplined Okay, that's not how it works. You train yourself to be disciplined.
Speaker 1:When I was in the military, in boot camp, we were trained to be disciplined. 99% of us that showed up on the first few days, let me tell you, we were worse than hot messes. I'm one of them and I was older than most of all the other girls because I went in at 23. Most of them were 17 and 18 years old. I think there was one woman older than me I'm talking about in my unit, one woman older we called it ships, though in the navy one woman in mine who was 34 and we called her grandma. Looking back, I find it hilarious because now that I'm 50, I'm like, oh my gosh, we called this poor woman grandma and she was only 34 anyways. We didn't show up there disciplined and ready to go and knew everything and was like I'm getting up at three o'clock in the morning, no problem. No, we were trained to be disciplined and you can train yourself to be disciplined yourself.
Speaker 1:Okay, it is a muscle. You have to do it, and the more you do it, the better you're going to become at it. And and I will tell you this, the more you do it, the better you become at it, the more it becomes something that you want to do. You become obsessed with it because you start seeing the needle moving. You don't need motivation, you don't need a motivational speech to make money. Okay, you don't feel confident. You build confidence through action, just like discipline, training yourself to be disciplined. You don't become successful overnight. You show up consistently until success has no choice but to chase you down. This is so important. This is so important. So pick one thing you will do daily, even when you don't feel like it no exceptions, no negotiations, that's it. If you do these things that I've just given you, you are going to see far more success, far sooner than if you just keep listening to Tony Robbins or Jen Gaines to give you some motivation.
Speaker 1:You have to start with discipline. That is how you're going to be unbelievably successful. This is your wake-up call. You don't need motivation, you need decisions. You don't need a sign saying you know today's the day, this year's the year. You don't need some sign, magical sign or anything like that, even though I love magic, believe in magic, love mindset and all that kind of stuff. You don't need a sign, you need discipline. You don't need permission. You need to own your future right now. If you really want to ditch the excuses and really build unshakable confidence and show up like a boss, then I want you to go on Instagram and DM me the word fire right now, and I'm going to send you my disciplined CEO mindset. You can stop waiting and start winning. Right, freaking now. You're not here to blend in. You're not here to be ordinary. You're here to stand out. You're here to be extraordinary. You're here to set this world. You're here to be extraordinary. You're here to set this world on fire. So let's freaking go. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
