2016--My husband left me.

2020 The pandemic arrived.

2021-- My last kid got a job in New York City and left home and a week later I almost died of covid.

2023--The company I worked with for 12 years shut down taking a bunch of my residual income

2025--My mom's dementia progressed, she fell and landed in the hospital for months.

LAST WEEK--My mom passed.

I have to say...

It's been quite the decade.

And no...

I am not telling you this for pity or responses.

Not at all.

I am telling you this because in an industry that fills your head with fairy tales someone has to be transparent and tell you THE TRUTH.

LIFE IS HARD

But you already know that.

But HARD is A LOT easier when you have RESIDUAL INCOME.

And even though I lost part of mine when a company shut down I was a product of my preaching and I had built additional streams that carried me through and allowed me to cry and lick my wounds when needed during the dark days that seemed to keep coming.

I never lost my income....In fact I built additional ones.

But I did lose my voice.

For a while at least.

But in mourning this week and thinking about my Mom and who she brought me up to be I knew it was time to change things up.

I don't know if I ever told you this but when I was in the ICU with covid after they tried to tube me and called in a priest it was HER voice in my head that I heard saying GET UP...

The doctors were astonished by my recovery and called me MIRACLE GIRL when they came to check on me...

I don't know exactly what happened in that ICU...

I just could hear my mom's voice in my head and I was downright scared of her.

Let's just say mom was never one to baby me and whenever I wanted a day off she yelled

GET UP...You're going to school.

She kicked my ass endlessly over the years.

Especially when my marriage ended.

I felt sorry for myself and she told me I had to SNAP OUT OF IT.

And I did.

But after enough kicks to my side I curled up in the fetal position and just lived off what I had because the pain was just too much to bear anymore.

And mom's dementia kept her from coming after me as she would have in the past.

Sure I wrote my list and posted on Facebook but my heart was no where to be found.

Until Saturday when I got up to speak at my mother's service.

No one was gonna do it. 

No one wanted to cry.

Not a tear had been shed all day.

Reserved bunch they all are but the little indigo kid named Diane had to say a few words.

And as I did all I could feel wash over my body was my mother saying to me

GET UP

It was as if she was setting me free as much of our energy had gone in to her care for some time now.

We were exhausted.

But I could hear her saying

GET UP

GET UP

GET UP

It was like she flipped on the lights and pulled the blanket off from over my head.

There was no hiding from Dorothy.

You could get away with NOTHING when in her presence.

And I'm pretty sure I wasn't getting away with it these last few years either but she couldn't form words to yell at me

<lol>

She was sure a feisty one!

And now that she is in divine form I'm pretty sure I better abide by her command or gosh knows what she'll send my way!

So here are my thoughts...

I am going to take the next two weeks to morn and spend time with my family and myself and then I am going to come out of the gate STRONG with a six month commitment to taking my next group to the RESIDUAL INCOME MOON.

I'll be back on zoom and all over the internet teaching marketing and AI to folks that want to come along.

I've selected several revenue streams that pay well and will have longevity that you can pick and choose from.

Stay tuned to hear all about them.

They pay as much as 80% and all include AI tools and options.

My first goal for everyone that joins us is to get everyone to BREAK EVEN because that is where the magic happens.

You have to get to the point where running your business costs you NOTHING and then you take it into PROFIT.

That's how I ALWAYS approach.

Whether it's a $10 option or like something I recently got for $25,000.

First we break even...

Then we get into profit and then the sky is the limit!

If you are a part of any of my groups or in any program with me right now PLEASE reach out so I can fill you in on where we're going.

I know I've said I'm getting up a few times and fizzled back out but this time I have an angel named Dorothy on my shoulder making sure I show up.

And honestly...

I have to do it in her honor and because of her.

My mom succumbed to frontal lobe dementia.

I do not want to go down that road and that means I need to make some changes and that means no more sitting around alone.

I need to be VERY active physically and mentally.

I need to rebuild my network and not only LEARN but I need to LAUGH with people.

And of course I need to make some financial plans incase it is heredity so my kids don't need to go through what I went through.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Yes...my mom may have just left a week ago but it's been YEARS since she was truly here.

And I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I worry about it happening to me.

Time is sweet and none of us knows how much we have so if there were ever a time to go grab that brass ring...

It's NOW.


So stay tuned and lean in close because it it time for me to find my next mentees.

The ones that truly want to learn and do and BE.

The ones that want to GET UP with me.

You're the ones I'm looking for.


Much love,


Diane
