“It's funny because the word rich doesn't actually go into my mind. I think I always replace it with wealthy because to me, rich, it does have a negative connotation of people who are wasteful with money or didn't work hard for it.”
“I reevaluated my relationship with money and personally and how I was raised and how to talk about money and not talk about money. And I realized that I had to stop living in a scarcity mindset. And so in that year of being able to get really dirty, I took my business from 825,000 in revenue to 2.25 million in a year.”
“A lot of people will always go, ‘Oh my gosh, you made the money. Congrats on the final end result.’ The end result doesn't get there without Lisa Gilmore changing herself foundationally.”
“It's just like getting so uncomfortable with money to the point where you almost feel nauseous. To me, that's the beautiful part, because then you know you're finding the weak spot that you have to enhance.”
“It’s the courage it takes to do the hard things, to get the easy thing.”
“If you don't understand your profit margin, if you don't understand your taxing, if you don't understand where your costs are, you could literally be making all this money. And there is a big plug over here, and you need to plug that hole.”
“The hole is one of the fastest ways to make more money in your business, is to cut expenses that you no longer need.”
“There is such power in knowledge. There is such power in overcoming and having the courage to look at the hard things and do the hard things.”
“Did I make a mistake? But it just takes that first contract to be like, ‘no, I didn't make a mistake.’ Here we go. And so that was a challenge that I did. And then, additionally, I also really started paying attention to my team and my strengths and weaknesses and their strengths and weaknesses.”
“You were going to this area where you believed that there was a new version of life for you and a new version of business, a new version of profit, a new version of a new caliber of client, a higher caliber of client, and it required you to stay the course even when it was hard. So that takes courage.”
“That is the biggest takeaway for me, is I want my clients just to feel like they are worthy, they are valuable, they live hard, busy lives, and they deserve everything we're doing for them, because at the end of the day, that's important for design, too.”
“The biggest thing you can do for your business is identify your weaknesses, hire them, and watch them soar.”
“I am not going to let my business rule my life anymore. I am me. My business is designed to serve me, not the other way around.”
“Honing in your relationship with money will truly change and define the narrative, everything, the tone, everything, and you'll be able to go at it with such a different, clearer mind and not such an emotional mind.”
“The biggest advice I have for somebody is really taking your head out of the sand and having a true conversation with money and what you want from it. And then the rest will follow through, of course, with consistency and tenacity.”

“You want to get rich so you can take care of people that you love, but also so you can make a difference in the world for people that you may not ever meet. And if you get rich for those reasons, then getting rich is easier. ”
“My opinion is that [being] rich means you are capable of being the rock. That the waves of life will not wash away. But you break the waves. The waves don't break you, the waves break on you.”
“Nobody can reject you personally because they don't know you. All they can do is reject an idea.”
“Marketers treat people like people. Master marketers treat people like an individual. Because if you treat everybody like they're part of a group, at least you're talking the group. But where you connect with people is when you treat people like a person, that's when you make a connection that lasts for decades.”
“What makes me happy is being the safety net for my family.”
“We're actually selling to one or two specific groups of people: We are selling to the damaged us we used to be, or we are selling to people who are like someone that we love.”
“Whatever it is you say you want to do, you can pretty much accomplish it in the next five years, like something big. And so don't let today be the day you look back on five years from now and say, I wish I would have started. Let today be the day you look back on five years from now and say, god damn, I'm glad I did that that day, because look at me now, motherfuckers.”

“[Importance of] Finding mentors. The ten years that I was going in circles and going backwards and nothing was working. I was so arrogant. I thought I knew everything. And Grace would say, you should meet with other people who have businesses.”
“If you try to do everything yourself too long, you kill yourself. And you kill yourself financially, you kill yourself spiritually, you kill yourself emotionally, and you burn out. You just burn out in so many different areas.”
“I really feel like we do change lives, and we help our customers to change lives. In fact, because through that, we, of course, have a mission.”
“I think creating a movement is the most important thing, because if you create a movement, then no competitor can match you.”
“The storytelling, that's such an important part of being able to get them to follow you in the movement. They have to relate.”
“Do it anyway. Do it every single day, even if no one's watching at first. Go live. Just do it again and again and again.”
“The reason why your significant other probably believed in you so much is because you believed in yourself so much, too. You had so much conviction in what you were doing.”
“If you set out to make money, sure you'll make money, but your business probably won't grow very far, and you won't have a very fulfilling life. But if you really have a passion for what you do and for helping your customers and for changing lives, that's when you're going to have the biggest success. That's when you're going to feel the best, and the money just comes.”

00:06:50 “I think we, as entrepreneurs, wanna be able to be ourselves. We want to be able to express ourselves in as many ways as humanly possible.
 
00:11:09 “It's not the money that makes them happy. The money is the result of being happy with what you do. So when I hear Happy Millionaire, I hear Self-made Millionaire.”
 
00:13:59 “If they're unwilling to look at themselves, if they're unwilling to learn, then they're probably not gonna make a great client. Because we have to go on the journey with them. And we're going back and forth in the feedback. We're finding out what they liked, what they didn't like, and why. And if they're unable to have that conversation and do self-reflection, then we're not gonna get anywhere.”
 
00:25:44 “Believe in love. Love should be at the center of everything that we do. Love works.”
 
00:26:12 “You have to love yourself before you can love another, and then you share.”
 
00:27:03 “I think authenticity is really important and we look for that when we're first talking to somebody on the phone . . . Because if they are not an authentic person, they probably aren't very good at being able to articulate what part they're playing in the relationship.”
 
00:28:05 “If you are attracting somebody that breaks your heart when you're open and authentic, then you're not truly being authentic enough to yourself because that person should not have come into your realm. So it's not about ‘I'm gonna close myself so I can't get hurt. It's about why am I still not truly authentic to myself? Why am I truly not getting this yet?’"

“I would say if the identity requires that much effort to grasp and reach for, it's not truly us being us. And the easiest and the most challenging thing in the world is for us to truly be us.”
“When people say you're weird, the proper response is, thank you very much, and they go, It wasn't a compliment. And I go, if you knew what it was, if you knew what it actually meant, it actually is, thank you very much.”
“We actually navigate the world energetically. We are energetic beings. First and foremost. Energy is our first language.”
“Your point of view creates your reality.”
“If they can maintain their connection to the struggle or the trauma that they experience, the abuse they experience, whatever it was, then they'll know when it's around the corner so they can avoid it.”
“It is possible to transform your reality, to transform your day to day, living, breathing perspective. Part of what it requires, though, is the courage and the vulnerability to make a leap into experiencing your reality differently.”
“If you're living a life where your primary concern is other people's judgments, are you truly living?”
“You get what your point of view dictates that you should get. And one of the things I'm grateful for about access is the ability to change your point of view. When you realize it's a limited point of view, you have the ability to change that point of view so it no longer haunts you that way because it shouldn't.”
“Neutral doesn't mean numb. Neutral means being able to look at something and go, I choose this and I'm not reacting to that.”
“If we're resisting and reacting to the world around us, then we're always in a state of trying to fight against the world to get things done, get things created. If we're aligning and agreeing all the time, everybody else's point of view becomes more valuable to us than ours.”
