Remember the last time you had a long weekend?

You know, those rare three-day stretches where you finally felt like you could breathe, relax, and maybe even get a glimpse of what life could look like outside the grind?

Now, imagine if that was every week. And it was four days!

That’s what happened to me! I was always tired, constantly overwhelmed, juggling the guilt of wanting to spend more time with my kiddo but simply not being able to. And forget about doing things for myself! One day, one of my teachers at hypnotherapy training school mentioned he worked 3 days a week. I knew instantly that’s what I wanted to create for myself.

No more struggling to make ends meet or dragging myself through the same old boring days.

And I didn’t just get more time back - I 13x my income!  I didn’t have to start over or sacrifice my quality of life to make it happen.In fact, my quality of life has consistently improved since I made that decision. 

Sounds too good to be true?

It’s not. I work Tuesday - Friday morning (I recently added Fridays because I’m ready to kick my business up a notch)! You can ask my team - I’m unreachable the rest of the time  

Today, I’m sharing the steps I followed, so you can do the same! 

Because life’s too short to be living for the weekends.

Let’s get into it.

If you saw my last email most of the steps will look familiar! 

Step 1: I decided what I wanted my days to look like. 

I wanted to make $100,000+ working three days a week. I wanted those to be short so I could pick my kiddo up from school. And I wanted to LOOOOOOVE my work. 

Step 2: I cleared all the limiting beliefs that blocked me from leaving my 9-5. 

This took time and there were various levels I had to clear. 

Some of the beliefs I cleared were: 

It’s not possible for single moms to get ahead 

I was born to struggle 

No one will pay me what I’m worth 

I don’t have anything of value to offer 

I’m a failure 

Step 3: I got ON TOP of my budget & spending & saved 1 month of expenses. 

I switched to the cash in envelopes system, and knew where every penny I spent was going. I started saving, and built 1 month of expenses (I advise 3 months because of how scary it was to only have 1 month of savings) 

I applied for several credit cards and had about 3 months of credit available (again, I recommend 6 months to soothe your nervous system) 

Step 4: While I was working on my financials, I started seeing clients for hypnotherapy on the weekends and in the evenings. 

I already knew what I wanted to do, so the only wormholes I dived into were healing modality related so I could get better and better at helping people. 

Step 5: I started my private practice at $25 an hour (and still I felt like that was too much). 

It took me three years and many more limiting belief clearings to build my session rate to over $100. But once I hit that threshold, everything started to pop. 

After 1 year, I was making the same money in my private practice working 1-2 days a week, as I was in my full time job so I quit, and got a part-time job that covered my rent, utilities & cell phone. I worked part time for 2 more years. 

Step 6: FREEDOM! 

After three years, I quit my last job and worked only for myself. I started making more money instantly. It took me another 3 years to raise my prices and create groups that would allow me to only work 3 days a week, but by gosh - I DID IT!!! I started with short work days. Then I blocked out Mondays. Then I blocked out Fridays, and every week became a 3 day work week! 

I know that if this sounds like your dream, then you probably wish you were at Step 6 already. It’s frustrating for things to feel like they will take more time than you want. 

But Rachel, I cannot tell you the payoff from creating a plan to work towards a life that you love and then getting there. 

That’s what living is about. I did it. Dozens of my clients have done it. And you can too. 

So start simply by just designing what you’d like your life to look like and go from there.

You’ve got this! 

Let’s go!
