This is too hard. I GIVE UP!!!! I said this at least fifty times a week, the year I decided to end my life. Really, I had been saying it my entire life, but I didn’t feel anyone could hear me, or that anyone cared. Including God. But I kept pushing through, I went to every form of therapy I’m aware of, read countless self-help books, watched every damn episode of Dr. Phil, ate my feelings, drank my feelings, dissociated into work, exercise, relationships, and sleeping pills. All of these things did keep me alive, but I felt lifeless, like the walking dead. Zero excitement or joy for life, didn’t know my deeper purpose (and didn’t think I was good enough to have one), and I believed that God forgot about me. My outsides didn’t match my insides. As I was planning my suicide, I still had my gel nails on point, hair highlighted, went to the gym 6 days a week (often 2 a days), paid all of my bills, traveled all the time, partied, and even smiled in photos. No one saw my pain, even those I shared it with….they thou

Coming up with stellar content all the time can be exhausting AF. This is why I refer to it as the “Content Monster.” It is never satisfied, always hungry for more, and if you don’t feed it, it will bite you in the ass. There is saying in the digital marketing world that is straight up facts: CONTENT IS KING You nail the content game, your visuals, your videos, your posts, your emails, you become a magnet to your ideal clients. Now customers are coming to you to buy, all without having to use paid ads. The catch….you know I will always tell you what the catch is to everything (as there always is one)…you have to being willing to work and build that content muscle of yours, and the only way to do it is by creating content, some of which will suck. “Tiffany, none of my posts are getting engagement, no one is liking my stuff.” Number one: Not everything you touch or create will turn to gold. Time for an expectation reset. I still have pieces content that flop, so do all of the multi-billion dollar companies in t

Does techy stuff also give you a rash? Nothing drains my energy more than trying to figure out tech stuff in my business. Well, aside from fake and annoying people, folding clothes, taxes, admin work, and cooking! One of the biggest barriers for most people who are trying get clients and cash online is the tech-side of everything. Some of you probably haven’t even started because of your tech-resistance. There is a belief that in order to make money online you must have a website, be on all the social media platforms, have an email list, a funnel, Facebook ads, etc… NOT TRUE! When you have a business of any size, there are a few ‘must haves’ and there are a ton of ‘nice to haves.” You see all of the beautiful websites, graphics, content, freebies, ads, and programs your favorite online boss’ have, and think you need to have all of that too in order to even start. I thought the same thing, which is why I bought a $5500 iMac that I’ve used three times in 2.5 years! (90% of my time is spent using my iphone to ge

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t create your dream business, without having fear and anxiety. So if you want the life, the luxury, the freedom you desire, you my love are going to have to learn how to manage your fear instead of getting paralyzed by it. Remember, I waited YEARS for it to be the “right time,” to start ProjectME. I let ten years pass me by, all because I was waiting to not feel so scared to start. Feeling scared is inevitable when you are going after something you want badly, and its uncharted territory. Meaning….you have little idea WTF you are doing. What sounds scarier to you? Going ALL-IN on your dream business and risking looking like a fool, or letting years pass you by where you stay in the exact same spot you’re in today? Listen in, and I will share with you how I manage my fear and anxiety. It is still alive and well even after 12 years in entrepreneurship! Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money. A former NBC

The fastest way to burn out is to keep trading your time and energy for money. Most of us weren’t taught there was any other way to make money, other than to be actively involved in generating it. This created the belief: If you want to be successful, you have to hustle and grind for it. I wanted that cash, that freedom, that success, so with my old belief system, I worked 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week to get it. I was exhausted and miserable. Yes I made good money, but I was I too fried to enjoy or appreciate it. There is a MUCH EASIER way to generate the wealth you desire, and I had to learn the hard way so I could teach you a better way. Hear me on this; it is essential you create streams of passive income, where you make money without being actively involved. Examples of Active Income: live coaching or consulting, 9-5 job, personal training, public speaking, events, and retreats Over 90% of people only make money from active income. This has a cap on it how much you can make, as your time and energy is

What to do when you feel like giving up. If you’re an entrepreneur, whether you are at year one or year 12 (like me), it is par of the course for you to want to give up at least once a month. Building your dream business is no joke. It brings up all of our deepest fears, insecurities, and self-doubts. Recently one of my podcast listeners DM’d me and asked, “What do you do when you feel like giving up, and nothing seems to be working?” My heart swelled, because this is one of the big reasons I created ProjectME, so I could be the support system and the Coach for all of you, that I wish I had when I felt so drained, frustrated and alone. I want you to know a few things, and I’m going to be blunt so y’all can hear me: >>> It’s normal for things to not workout in your preferred timing, as NEWFLASH you aren’t in control of everything, especially timing. All you can do is your best, and you must learn to surrender the rest to divine timing, or you will lose your damn mind. >>>It’s normal to have those weeks when yo

Don’t make this mistake when selecting your niche. Before I get into this, I pronounce niche like rich, simply because it’s more fun. Most people associate “finding a niche,” with getting really specific about what they do, unfortunately, specific doesn’t necessarily equal profitable. Some of your niches can seem ON POINT (because they sound specific), but they are making zero dollars, so we are going to fix this today. $0 Example: I’m a mindset coach and I teach you how to de-stress and find inner peace and joy Yes this is specific, but it isn’t tangible. People only buy what they: 1. Believe they need 2. Something that feels tangible By tangible I mean, it is clear AF what they will be getting if they work with you, if they buy your course, if they attend your event. $$$ Example: I’m a mindset coach. I teach you how to re-structure your schedule and set boundaries, so you can achieve your personal goals. If you niche sounds too grand, too vague, and too good to be true, people won’t trust it and therefor wo

Are you running away from success without even realizing it? Our egos are so clever, cunning, and manipulative, that it’s impossible for us to catch all of our self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. This is why I have two coaches, a therapist, and several close friends who aren’t afraid to lovingly call me out on what I can’t see, or don’t want to see. Because I give a sh*t, I’m willing to risk you being upset with me to tell you the hard truth. If you aren’t seeing consistent progress towards the life, cash, and freedom you desire, it’s because you are running away from it. You run away from the things you dream of in such subtle ways, some of these ways have become habits you’ve done for so long, that you simply don’t recognize them or know of another way. Your beliefs are either having you run towards success or running away from it, so leaving them unexamined is a recipe for success-sabotage. If you are willing to take a hard but loving honest inventory of yourself, then listen to this episode, and I wil

If you want people to see you as a trusted expert in your niche, you need to up level your vibe. First of all no one is going to view you as a trusted authority on a subject unless you deem yourself worthy of that reputation. It all starts with your confidence on the knowledge and experience you carry. I’ve worked with many clients who know they know their stuff, and watch other people online cashing in, who don’t know nearly as much as they do; yet they come to me because they can’t figure out what’s not clicking. If you are a service provider, a coach, or someone with a personal brand, you are the product, so you have to showcase and highlight your skills, expertise, and intellectual property. Mentioning your credentials or sharing your experience a few times isn’t going to cut it, you have to shine a spotlight on it daily for it to connect with strangers, that you are a trusted valuable expert. You do this by exhibiting something I call Command Presence. This Command Presence needs to show up in your writt

If you’re a procrastinator, then you’re a perfectionist. Tell me if you can relate to this story… It’s Sunday, you make an epic to-do list for the upcoming week with great conviction that you will crush it. Now it’s Monday, you look at the list and instantly get overwhelmed with all you have to do, you wish you had the same energy you had when you wrote the list yesterday. Your brain flashes to, “but first…I need to _________” (workout, do laundry, make a nail appointment, call your mom, go to the grocery store). Now it’s mid-day and you still haven’t gotten one thing done on your list, the pressure and anxiety sets in, and you tell yourself you will do it tomorrow when you have more energy, focus, and motivation. The reason you are putting off what you know you need to do in order to achieve the goal you so badly want, is because you have some made-up requirement that the task must be completed perfectly, which would require a ton of energy, focus, and time. What if all you needed to do was get it done, and

Time to get your content converting into clients and cash. That is unless the hours you spend writing posts, emails, and articles is a JOBBY (an expensive hobby) and not intended to be money-generating business. There are four key elements of high cash-converting content: Emotional connection. Your writing must pull at the heart and soul of your ideal client. What she desires, admires, dreams of, longs for, is scared of, secretly hates, keeps her up at night, and so on. Your writing must show your ideal client that you “get” her. You understand her unique life, her issues, her drama, her crazy brain, her struggles, her doubts, etc… Your writing must share some kind of a solution to the issue you are targeting. Something to help her get from her current state to her core desired emotional state. This can be as simple as a key mindset shift you made, or the reason why you created your new12-week transformation program to take her from ___________ to ____________. Call to action. Your writing must include a cle

The Number One reason you are feeling stuck. Time for some real talk, Coach Tiff style. You aren’t stuck; you simply don’t see a clear way out of your current situation that you can achieve without a crap-ton of pain and sacrifice. I used to say I was “stuck” so often that I got sick of hearing my self. The truth is, it was easier for me to feel “stuck,” then it was for me to take the scary action required to move forward. You likely don’t know the entire roadmap to your end goal, none of us do!!! But I bet you do know several actions you could take, or something you could start doing today that will move you towards that goal. Hmmmmmm mmmmm hate me yet??!! Bottom line is you are choosing to stay in the familiar discomfort of stuck, versus the terrifying feeling of taking real action towards your dreams. There is no way to make real change in your life without feeling scared. Maybe there are people in your life you need to disconnect from or break up with, your life will be better for it, but it’s scary and u

Are you being an unintentional CREEP?   I get at least 5-10 DMs a day that read something like this: “Girl I love your feed! I see you’re a busy boss babe, and it can be hard to fit in proper nutrition to keep you going. I’d love to offer you a free 15-minute nutrition consulting call, and share how I can get you feeling your best.” For the record, she lost me right at “I see you’re a busy boss babe.” It reeked of insincerity and felt like I was being sold to. Would someone ever say this sentence in real life while waiting for a cocktail? I repeat, I do not want you sending these types of messages to anyone, it’s a waste of your time and they don’t work. Many of you have this belief, that in order to get clients and cash on social media, you have to do this type of DM outreach, which is also why you are so resistant to starting or even growing your business. Let me be clear, you do not need to send any messages of any kind that feel empty, gross, or annoying to you in order for you to be successful. I have NE

You have to be willing to say this sentence in order to get exactly what you want. It’s so simple, yet one of the hardest things to put into practice. “No.” Being able to say, “no,” without preparing an excuse or giving some explanation, without apologizing for it….was pure agony for me. Because people sensed this about me my entire life, I got used, walked all over, and taken for granted in both business and my personal life. It wasn’t until I literally almost died from people pleasing, over-extending my self, and tending to everyone needs above my own, that I was willing to change my operating system. I believed that if I told someone I wanted something different than what they wanted, or something they wouldn’t approve of, that they would hate me, leave me, or ridicule me. This scared me to the point where I was willing to suffer and abandon my own needs and desires. I’m sharing this vulnerable truth about me; because I want you to hear what I wish someone had taught me from birth. If you aren’t happy in c

Can’t figure out how to include all the things you love into your business? I’m going to share some things with you that I wish someone told me on repeat. Not every passion or interest of yours is meant to be monetized. Not every passion or interest of yours is best suited to serve your ideal client. When we try to include too many things, services, and offers into our brand, it’s confusing to your audience, and confused people DON’T BUY. It takes most buyers 6-8 times of hearing and seeing the same offer, before they hand over their cash. So, if you are sharing your favorite hair products, then talking about manifestation, then sharing your Amazon store, then sharing about your new “drop that baby weight” program…your audience will end up remembering NOTHING other than, “Suzie does a lot stuff.” Issue with all of the multi-passionate people I coach, is your focus ends up scattered and in the wrong place. The focus must be on serving your ideal client exactly what they believe they need and want, in the packa

To be a highly respected coach, who generates great results for their clients, requires a next level version of you. I used to be a #Basic coach simply because I was new to it, didn’t know any better, and didn’t really know my self. Like with everything else, you improve with time, experience, and the humility to always be learning and growing. After coaching more than 1500 people privately, and tens of thousands in group settings, I can identify what separates exceptional coaches from #Basic coaches. Don’t get me wrong #Basic coach can still get results…think of a #Basic entry level fitness trainer at the gym….you are still getting accountability and someone correcting your form, but what you aren’t getting (or paying for) are the years of experience of working with different body and personality types, knowing exactly what works and what doesn’t. To be an exceptional coach, you have to be willing to do the deep, often gut-wrenching inner healing work on yourself. You can’t skip this work and expect to help

I came close to dying twice, once by choice and the other as a result of a health crisis. Both of these rock bottom times in my life had one major thing in common, but it took years of reflection to realize it. September 2014 on my birthday, I had a plan to kill my self by way of pills. They were all laid out on my kitchen counter. I was exhausted and tired of life….it felt like it was way to much work to live, in exchange for tiny glimpses of happiness. In 2017, I was neck deep in a health crisis that 7 different doctors couldn’t figure out (two even told me it was all in my head), and my body was at war with me, and there wasn’t anything that was working. I was couch-bound for months, didn’t even have the energy to go the grocery store, and I ballooned in weight and full-body inflammation. I had no hope. Nothing was working. The millions I had in the bank didn’t matter. My prayers didn’t seem like they were being answered. I knew I was dying. What led me to deaths door were my beliefs. My belief that I wasn

Want to learn how to have your posts go viral on Instagram? Your answer better be a BIG FAT YES, if you have a business, or want to make money using Instagram. No, you don’t have to go viral in order to make great money on the Gram, but it certainly will help you grow your audience faster, and expand your influencer further. When I started my ProjectME with Tiffany Instagram account around two-plus years ago, I assumed in order to have a post go viral you had to have a big following and/or be some Insta-famous influencer. Then I saw some small-ish accounts I followed have some of their posts get a crazy amount of likes and shares….that began my quest, well really my obsession (Virgo problems) to figure out how I could do this with my own content. It took me many months of experimenting with content to figure it out, BUT I DID! As always, one of my motivators in learning new things is to eventually teach those skills, tricks, and techniques to all of you. Get ready to go viral people!!!! Welcome to ProjectME t

Seven out of ten people feel imposter syndrome at least once in their lives. The feeling of being a fraud or being “found out,” is something I struggled with most of my life, up until about four years ago. I never felt like I was all that book smart, as I had to study so much longer than anyone I knew to even squeeze out an A-, unless of course it was a broadcasting or public speaking class. Deep down, I knew it was my hustle, determination, and grit that created my success…certainly not my intelligence. Since I held onto this insecurity of not being some Ivy school grad or even being able to do math in my head, I felt like, “if they only knew the truth, they would fire me.” Since our beliefs create our reality, I would shy away from people, clients, colleagues, and opportunities, where I may be “found out.” This only compounded my already low self-worth and self-doubt. I wasn’t able to shift out of this distorted thinking until I started diligently doing the inner work to learn how to even like, then love, a

Being an entrepreneur doesn’t equal complete financial freedom. Complete freedom comes from knowing you don’t have to exchange your time and energy for money. No, you don’t just wake up one day and start making money while you’re sleeping. It’s a process you work towards. The reason why at least 60% of my income is passive, meaning I don’t have to directly exchange time/energy to generate that cash, is because I’ve built up multiple passive income streams over months and years, NOT OVERNIGHT. I started ProjectME because I want to teach you how to create this true freedom for yourself, to never have to depend on a person, job, or intuition for money ever again. When we depend on one main way to make a bulk of our income, that is when we feel stuck, trapped, unmotivated, and get burned out. I have a vulgar saying I like to use (I know shocking)….it’s called having “F*&K YOU MONEY,” meaning you can say (even lovingly) F You to anything or anyone that no longer serves you, because you’ve got cash flowin’ in f
