hey, mau here.

i just got a fcking piccolo – lol. no joke. look:

this cafe is funny.

anyway, this morning I had the last girl join the new Aligned Creators cohort I launched.

she paid in full, too.

I was mid worship when I got the notification.

but – this is not about me...

because I didn't feel 'hype'.

in fact, quite the opposite – i felt responsibility.

a new sense of purpose. drive.

yes, I felt extremely grateful for blessings God has been giving me lately...

but instantly, I started praying to God to give me the strength, power, and wisdom to serve every single person who has joined in the best way I can…

so that THEY can go serve the people that they are here to serve.

you see, they say with more "power" comes more responsibility. and it's true.

now that I have more people trusting me, I can't afford to NOT be on A game.

It's no longer about showing up for ME, I gotta show up for THEM.

and this is an entirely different paradigm.

soon, I'll have a small team – maybe a VA, editor, community manager, who knows… helping me out.

and that'll be ANOTHER group of people to be responsible for.

this is why success in itself is scary.

and why we often self-sabotage our own way to success – because we subconsciously don't want to handle the responsibility that comes with it.

but the good thing is, i've been training for this...

I already guided 20 people through a 6 week transformation experience.

now? it's 5 people. but the stakes are higher.

the good thing is, I truly know that I can help these people get to where they want to go.

and this is why it's so important to not skip steps...

every step you take – even if small – is preparing you for what's coming.

do NOT expect to go from 0 to 100 in one go...

but just know that things are NOT linear – ESPECIALLY in business.

in the last 2 weeks, my biz brought in more than double what I made in the last 4 months.

and everything I set out to do 4.5 months ago when I left Austin is happening.

all this to say:

things don't happen overnight – but they never happen at all if you never start.

take the first step, dive into the unknown, do good by people, and everything will work out.

the Aligned Creators cohort is officially closed.

will let you know when i re-open it.

talk soon :)
