So much of what I thought I wanted has changed so drastically in the past few months. I had a very wise friend not to long ago tell me honestly I didn’t need to hate money or dealing with the financial aspects of my business because I could do so much with it if I would just allow myself to. She was right and it has changed my perspective so much. I used to want to make more money with both my soap business and with my Beachbody business so I could do more, have more, be more, but, now I realize...
