What if I fail? But darling, what if you fly? ✨

What if I fail?
But darling, what if you fly?
✨
2.5 years ago, the business that I heavily invested in for years turned out to be something that no longer grew and served my purpose. I was lost and confused. It was all that I ever knew. I was so scared to step out of it, out of my own comfort zone to explore the unknowns.
✨
I was afraid to fail again. I was afraid to start again. I was afraid to hit reset. I was so afraid to be called a quitter. I went to sleep every night asking myself many “what if “questions, “What if I fail?” “What if no-one believes in me?” “What if I can’t get any clients?” “What if people laugh at me?”
✨
And on this day, 2 years ago, I finally discover the power of #positive WHAT IFs.
I was sick and tired of my own self-doubts. I was sick and tied of playing small. I was sick and tied of doing the same thing and expecting different results.
✨
SO I turned it around and asked myself: “What if I succeed?”
“What if there is a woman out there who really needs my help?”
“What if I could really produce outstanding results for my clients and they help me spread the words about my business? What if I could attract my ideal clients to me instead of having to go out and look for them?
“What if I just, for once, not care about what others had to say? What if I just keep my head down and put in the work?
✨
You see, your mind is powerful. What you think, you become. When you choose to think positive thoughts, those thoughts turned into reality. When those positive WHAT IFs turned into reality it sure was an incredible feeling. In time of uncertainty like this, I hope to remind you that YOU HAVE the POWER. It’s the power to turn thoughts into reality. I hope you choose what’s best for you! #xotraceynguyen #coachforwomen #mindsetiseverything

We hear people talking a lot about "scaling up & e

We hear people talking a lot about "scaling up & expanding" their business but "scaling down" is actually my current favorite word these last few months.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Why? Because sometimes, in order for us to take two steps forward, we need to take one step back to really look at the bigger picture of where we are going.⁠⠀
💫⁠⠀
Reason #1: Do less with more focus⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Scaling down doesn't always mean playing small and pulling back from your business. Scaling down can mean doing less but with more focus and emphasis on quality instead of quantity.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When a client comes to me and says that they want to "add more products and services" to their menu, my question to them is always "WHY?". Unless there is a good reason for the expanding plan, I always believe in doing one thing and do it very well first before scaling. Many big businesses failed because of the exact same reason. They scale way too quickly and way too fast without a solid foundation. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💫⁠⠀
Reason #2: Better understand your niche market⁠⠀
⁠⠀
By scaling down, you get the chance to have a deeper understanding of your niche market and discover the creative ways to serve your existing customers better. Did you know that 80% of most business revenue comes from repeat customers and not new clients? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💫⁠⠀
Reason #3: Scaling down so you can scale up!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Scaling down on your business expenses & find creative ways to make things happen (I said "creative ways" and not "cheap ways")⁠⠀
- Let go of the team members who aren't helping you taking your business to the next level.⁠⠀
- Let go of the clients who weren't realizing your value and your worth.⁠⠀
Believe it or not, keeping those team members and those clients can actually cost you more in the long run when you decide to scale up. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There is no better time to scale down your business as it is right now when things are moving in slow motion and we can all afford to sit down and re-evalute our businesses. #businesscoach #businesstips.⁠⠀

Definitely my favorite purchase of 2020 since I won’t be going out for a minute 🤣🤣🤣 #lvonthegomm #bagsofinstagram

Congrats @endy on winning Product Of The Year Cana

Congrats @endy on winning Product Of The Year Canada.
I honestly would not expect anything less. @endy totally deserves it. It's been over 100 nights that Marc and I have been sleeping on the @endy’s mattress and I cannot tell you how much @endy has helped us change our life…yes, you heard it! A good-quality mattress can really CHANGE your life. Some of our friends have already purchased their own @endy ever since we got ours!

What we love most about @endy?

1. @endy ships the mattresses directly to your door & it is super easy to set up.

2. Our @endy has been one of the most comfortable mattresses that we have ever slept on. It’s breathable and comfortable.

3. @endy mattress offers us just the right firmness and support. Marc used to complain all the time back then with our old mattress because he always sunk into the old mattress. Ever since we got our @endy, my lower back pain has also decreased and I no longer wake Marc up in the middle of the night when I move around ( apparently I toss and turn and do all sort of actions during sleep)

3. Marc’s eczema and stress level have also gone done since he can now get better sleep at night and his body can fully rest & recover.

4. Let’s not forget about the awesome pillows as well! They give you just the right support and you can adjust the foam accordingly.

Overall, we are super happy with our @endy mattress and we think that @endy is such a good investment into your sleep and your overall health. We had no idea how having quality of sleep could change our lives & now we do!

The only thing that I have to say tho is that our @endy mattress came without the special opener razor so we struggled a bit to get it out of the plastic wrap and Marc was sort of excited to try that special tool.

@endy is currently offering $75 OFF your entire order so check it out! #ad #gifted #endypartner

“You can’t give when your cup is empty.” ✨

“You can’t give when your cup is empty.”
✨
Putting yourself first might sound like the most selfish thing to the outside world. Trust me when I say that it was be one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.

As girls, we were raised to be more responsible than boys.

As women, we were raised to be givers, to care & to take good care of others.

But nobody told us that we can’t give, love, care or show up as our best-self when we are exhausted, burned out, lost & confused because we didn’t put ourselves first.
✨
During this inevitably slow time of #covid19, besides the popular #InstagramChallenge, I challenge you to:
✨
1. Take better care of yourself physically & mentally

2. Spend time to get to know yourself

3. Get back into journaling

4. Revisit your childhood dreams & goals

5. Remind yourself again of what it feels like to be a little girl who has no fear and gives no fly about what the world thinks of her

6. Create an action plan to build up your financial & spiritual abundance so you can live the life you deserve and help those who are in need

7. Nourish your soul & the relationship with yourself

8. Fill up your own cup with self-love & self empowerment to the point where your cup becomes so full that it spills over and influence everyone else around you in a positive way
✨
What do you say? Are you up for the challenge?

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgot your value.... Here is a list of 10 things you can save and remind yourself everyday! #bowotribe

Some days I glam up to close deals & some days I just want to stay in bed and binge watch Netflix & recharge!
✨
Most people see the rainbow of entrepreneurship but they don’t see the cloudy days that come around with the rainbow. My heart goes out to all of my fellow entrepreneurs out there who are fighting through this tough and uncertainty time.
✨
Please…
• Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel
• Accept that you do not have control over external factors
• Realize that this might be the lesson for us all to rest, take better care of ourselves, take a step back from our everyday routine to see things from a different perspective
• Practise self-care & listen to your inner voice for the spiritual guidance
• Stay true to yourself & your emotions
Last but not least, remember that everything is figure-out-able!
✨
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Comment “YASS” if you agree! #bowotribe

Got tagged by @muniquebrows so here it is, my 6 years old self and my almost 30 years old self. Time really just flies!
✨
Vietnam - Summer 1996, I was 6 year old goofy, tom boy girl, wearing mostly passed down clothes from my brother & my other cousin. All I wanted to do was to chill around and do nothing. As far as I know, I was always a happy child. I had a scrapbook full of pictures of Spice Girls and I could probably sing every single Spice Girls song without understand a single word of English. Life was calm, peaceful and simple!

HOW CAN YOU BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED DURING #covid1

HOW CAN YOU BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED DURING #covid19?
✨
Okay guys, I think I’m done with the first 3 weeks of #quarantine to take it easy, rest up, catch up on my sleep. The entrepreneurial blood in me won’t let me stay auto pilot for too long. Now that I am all rested up and re-charged, I want to share a few ideas that will help you better prepared financially:
✨
1. SEEK GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE:
In Canada, for most self-employed people whose income is being affected by the #covid19, they can look into CERB. A total of $2,000 will be given to you to help you out. Application process is easy as a click of a button but make sure that you meet all the requirements before applying. Doing so, you will save a lot of headaches down the road dealing with the CRA if they decide that you were fraudulent.

2. BE PREPARED TO PAY TAXES: Don’t get too excited about the $2,000 that you will receive! This $2,000 is counted as your taxable income so as soon as you receive the money, put aside 20-25% into your savings for tax.

3. LOOK INTO DIVERSIFY YOUR INCOME (plz, no MLM or funny biZ). I have clients who are still making $10,000 -$25,000 of revenue monthly running an Amazon based & online business. Now is the time for you to see what you can do to never put yourself and your income in a vulnerable position again.

4. LEARN ABOUT PASSIVE INCOME. These days, I’ve been looking into investing in stock & real estate market. Sometimes, down time for others is coming-up time for you if you see the opportunities. Check out my friend Michael from @tothemooneducation & join his community if you want to learn more about trading.

5. SPEND SMART. Call your credit card companies to see if they can lower your interest rate, call your auto insurance to suspend your on-the-road policy if you aren’t using your vehicle. Don’t jump too quickly to defer your mortgage if you absolutely don’t need too! You will owe the bank more interest down the road. Do your research!

My calendar is reminding me that Marc and I were supposed to head to the airport now to part a flight from Hochiminh city to Bangkok with my parents to celebrate my dad’s birthday. And here I am, sitting in my home office in Toronto looking at the calendar 📅 and reminiscing about the last Bangkok trip that Marc and I were on. #travelitch #travelitchisback #bangkok #bangkokthailand

Darling, the moon is still the moon in all of its phases.

If you don’t come out of this quarantine with a new skill, you are okay.
If you don’t come out of this quarantine with a side hustle, you are good.
If you don’t come out of this quarantine with new knowledge, you are fine.
✨
Let go of the need to be productive, to be in control and to be in charge. As for me, I’ve just been wearing different colour of lipsticks at home because I have no where to go 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Easter 🐣 long weekend!
