Stop Stressing & Working Harder!

May 2, 2017 By Kylie Courtie

Hey! Its Kick Ass Kylie here, the Laptop Lifestyle Queen.

I hope you are having an amazing day!

Let me ask you…

Are you living a life you love or are you struggling are you stressing are you in survival mode?

That was me just 3 years ago! I remember… it was State of Origin number 2 game, hubby was watching TV, as all hubbies do for state of origin, right!

I had my head buried deed in my laptop as always because I was the work-a-holic just ask me and my beautiful baby girl who at the time would have been 6 came up to me so excited and said:

“Mummy Mummy, come in to my room, I have a surprise for you…”

(insert sigh)

Of course I was thinking… Aaaaaaggghhhhh, I just need to get my work done!!!

“Daddy Daddy, you have to come too…”
(insert GGGRRRRRR)

Of course he just wanted to watch State of Origin…

So in we went, and oh my goodness, she made my heart melt, she’d put so much time and effort into creating this beautiful picnic, she’d chopped up carrots, chopped up cheese, crackers, she had chips, bickies, glasses of water, she had books, games, activities… all she wanted was to have Mum and Dad present to have quality time as a family…

And all I could do was think about WORK! And my hubby, he just wanted to go watch his game.

So after the obligatory 15 mins of playing and having family time we politely excused ourselves and started to leave and that is when I got the biggest lesson in my entire life…

My baby girl burst into tears… She was so upset!!!

With tears streaming down her little face and a quivering voice she said:

“Mummy! All you ever do is work! You’re always on your computer! And all Daddy ever does is watch TV! I just want to have time together as a family…”

WOAH… Talk about knife through the heart… Slap across the face… And in that moment, I realised that I desperately needed to make a change!

Alannah’s 9th Birthday Wish: Cuddle a Koala & Swim with Turtles – CHECK! Here she is snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island with a giant Maori Wrasse.

My beautiful baby girl taught me that:

Number 1. We are here to live our life and have FUN and have time together as a family.

Number 2. She taught me that my important value was FREEDOM to be able to do what I wanted when ever I wanted and to work to LIVE, NOT live to work.

Number 3. And the third thing that I got from that little conversation with my beautiful angel, is that we needed to have more fun and adventure, to travel, to have holidays together, so we could create amazing magical memories!

So thanks to my amazing angel inspiring me to totally change our life from working full time to living full time, the last 4 years have been the happiest times of our lives!

I am now a Full Time Mum, we’ve have had 28 amazing holidays and checked off more bucket list items in the last year than we have in our lifetime, I ditched the old business (in fact it kind of ditched me, but that is another story), I’m now a Laptop Lifestyle Mum, I’m fully present with my children, I’m more connected and in love with my husband than ever before, I am making time for ME and exercising on a regular basis and now I work to

This is me playing with Sea Lions in Mexico!

What would you do with $86,400 Every Day???

February 8, 2017 By Kylie Courtie

Hey You!!

What would you do with $86,400 Every Day???

Out of all of my Blog posts so far… I PROMISE YOU… This one WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

Let me ask you this SUPER IMPORTANT and LIFE-CHANGING question….

What if in the next 10 mins you started to feel faint… You are feeling dizzy… You are getting tingles in your legs and suddenly you are struggling to even walk… You are not well and feel strange so you pick up the phone and call your Dad (or partner or friend) to come and get you and take you to the hospital…. You start having seizures and the hospital team have to induce you into a coma to try and calm your body to stop the seizures…. They are pumping your body with medicine but you are not responding…. There you lay, in ICU, a team of specialists looking after you but still you are not responding… Then 2 weeks from now… you drift away… peacefully never to wake up ever again….

You didn’t see this coming!!! WTF!! You felt fine 2 weeks ago… But now you are GONE FOREVER!!

If today was your LAST day:-

Would you be happy that you had truly lived and made your mark on the world??

Would you have done everything you wanted to do??

Would you have set your kids up for their future??

The reason I ask is this… That above story is not just a story… It’s exactly what happened to my gorgeous friend and neighbour Sarah who left our physical world yesterday at the very young age of 40 with her entire life ahead of her. She’d just met her dream man 8 months ago, finally fallen in love and excited about her future…

I shared our VIP Travel Club with Sarah on the 12th April last year and she loved it but said she couldn’t afford it right now and would re-look a year or so down the track when she was in a better position to travel again… But now she will never have that chance.

Everyone always thinks they have more time… But tomorrow is not promised!!!

If Nothing Changes…. Nothing Changes!!!

Let me ask you this… If I was to give you $86,400 every 24 hours, but the CATCH was that at midnight, anything you had not used was gone, however at midnight, another $86,400 would appear into your bank account. Would you SPEND ALL OF IT or would you let it go to waste?? You’d spend it ALL wouldn’t you??

Then consider this, YOU already get a gift way MORE precious that $86,400 per day…. You get 86,400 SECONDS every day!! Now if you lose all your money (like I did, $1.7 million in fact), you can always make that back. But the one thing you can NEVER get back, is your TIME!! Yet so many people take their time for granted.

“If you don’t respect your time, no one else will!”

Time is our most precious asset. Once its gone its gone forever!!

So PLEASE Live Life Now!! You realise you only have one life….yes?? Noone is getting outta here alive and time is ticking!!! You never know when your number will be called like our beautiful Angel Sarah.

May Sarah’s story inspire you and give you the Kick up the Ass you need to really start LIVING!! To take action to live your dream life, to check off all your bucket list items, to love your family, to make time for yourself and your health. IF you only had 6 months to live would you be doing what you are doing right now???

Its time to GET REAL with yourself!!

You are just 3-steps away from a totally different life.

If you are ready to walk away from the stress, and create Your Life, Your Way, then click this link to learn the Simple 3-Step System that has totally changed my life and see how it can change your life too… because YOU and your family, your dreams and your goals are worth it!!

Are you Kissing Ass or Are you Kicking Ass???

November 14, 2016 By Kylie Courtie

Hello!! Let me ask you a straight between the eyes, Kick Ass Question….

“Are you where you want to be in life right now? Are you kicking ass in your business and living your dream life? If not, why not??”

You are exactly where you are today, based on the decisions and actions you did or didn’t take in the past. Your future is determined by the decisions and actions you do or don’t take in your business and your life right now!

If Nothing Changes…. Nothing Changes!!!

This is not new. Its not rocket science and I’m sure you are nodding because you know this to be true and you’ve probably heard it all before…. Right???

So what is stopping you??? I mean really….. what is going on???

You realise you only have one life….yes?? Noone is getting outta here alive and time is ticking!!! You never know when your number will be called.

Have you sold out?? Have you settled for average because achieving your goals and living your dream is too hard?? If you have then you are like the other 99% of people who’ve given up and settled for average.

Just don’t be telling yourself that delusional story that you are taking action on your dreams and goals!!

You see no matter what you want in life, whether it be a health & fitness goal, a business or career goal, a life goal, a relationship goal, you name it…. If you are playing small and hoping you will see results its NOT going to happen!! Or it will happen on such a small scale you will hardly notice!!

You need to go ALL IN!! You need to take MASSIVE ACTION!! Play FULL OUT!! And you need to play to WIN…. Stop playing “not to lose”.

Now I’m being really direct here, because I want to be that Fisherman’s Friend Slap across the face so you STOP and really get this!! Most people (like me) have to lose everything, or have a death in the family, or face death with a health scare, or a near miss that nearly cost them their life…. Why wait til that happens??

If you keep doing the same thing then you will have the same results. If your life is EXACTLY the same… (or even with a 5-20% improvement on where you are at now) 5, 10, 15, 20 even 30 years from now will you be happy??

One of the problems is that people always think there will be more time…. But that is not guaranteed!!

Let me ask you…

Will you be financially free to be able to retire at the age you want to??
Have you set up your children and their children with multi-generational wealth?
What if something happens to you… have you set up your family and been the example to your kids on how you want them to live their life???

Since starting our VIP Travel Club Business, it breaks my heart to see so many people in financial pain that they are living week to week and struggling to make ends meet… They are so sucked in by the system, working for someone else to make their dreams come true and miserable…. Is that the life you signed up for?

Then there are the small business owners and self employed who’ve had the entrepreneurial seizure…. They are not going to work for someone else, so they are working for themselves, but like I was, still trapped and chained by their business, exchanging time for money and whilst financially you may be doing OK, you have no time freedom to do what you want when you want… Sound Familiar?

I understand because I’ve been there too!!

Here is the thing… while you and others are KISSING your ass, telling you that you are doing great and giving you compliments, you will continue along, staying in your comfort zone, staying average and nothing will ever change. This is 99% of the population and if that’s what you want, then that’s OK, just be real with yourself and say – “This is the life I want. I choose my current circumstances and I am ok not taking the action to have more. I’m not prepared to step out of my comfort zones and fight for my dreams. This is my life.” If you are happy with that then congratulations!! Have a happy life!!

If your gut is churning right now, you feel that knot in your stomach tightening or you feel SICK then this message is for you – WAKE UP!!!

Perhaps its time to take a good look in the mirror and be real with yourself…

What do you want?? What are you here for?? Who do you see when you look in the mirror?? Do you see a winner, a leader, an action taker and someone who inspires and leads others?? Its time to kick your own ass!! Because no one else can motivate you!! No one else can do it for you!! No one else is coming to save you!! If its gonna be… its up to YOU to go make it happen!!

Think about it…. When someone “kisses you on the ass” you will go down and backwards. When someone “kicks you up the ass” you move forward and upwards. So be mindful to what you listen to. It may feel nice when someone kisses you on the ass but that will not move you forwards. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up, pull you up and kick your ass!! Yes you will be out of your comfort zone. Yes it may be a little painful and you might even have your ego bruised a little…. So what!!! Your life, your goals, your dreams, your family, YOU are worth it…. Right???

Now if you are really up for playing a massive game, you need to think like a professional not an amateur. Think about any professional athlete – they all have a coach right? And they listen to their coach. Their coach will see their blind spots and tweak your game plan to keep you on track. Your coach will Kick Your Ass so you take the action you need to achieve the goals YOU want. What is the key difference between an amateur and a professional?? An amateur PAYS to play…. A Professional gets PAID to play!! BIG difference!! Which are YOU??

If you want more and you are ready to take massive action to achieve your goals and live your dream life, if you are coachable and you are emotionally ready for a “Kick Up The Ass”, then I’d love to connect with you and GIFT you a FREE Kickassity Session. I call it my “One Night Stand.’ You can share your dreams & goals, your challenges and frustrations and I get to kick your ass so you can create success faster! My mission is to help you leverage your time, kick ass online and create a life you love.

Please don’t book a session if you suffer from excusitis, if you are negative, if you are not coachable or if you are not ready to kick ass in all areas of your life. I can’t push a dead bear up a tree!! I only have limited time and I only work with heart-centred entrepreneurs with integrity, who are coachable, have a MASSIVE dream, want to make a HUGE difference and ready to take immediate massive action and go ALL IN to have everything they’ve ever dreamed of and more!!

I will hold up a mirror for you to see yourself. I will hold you accountable and kick your ass. I will have the straight conversations you need to have. I will be the life saver for your dreams and I will empower YOU to shine!! Everything you need to succeed is already inside of you. You already have everything it takes to succeed… my job is to unlock your brilliance so you can step into your power and step up as an inspiring leader who is unstoppable!

I’m ready… Are YOU ready????

Are you FIRED UP???

Lets GO!!

Turning Your Financial Situation Around

October 21, 2016 By Kylie Courtie

Hi There!

My name is Kylie Courtie. At the beginning of last year I lost my fitness franchise business which I had sacrificed my time, my life, my family and my health for over 14 years. I was almost $700k in debt and overnight ZERO Income which for me at the time was the end of my world as I knew it. As a mother of 2 young children I was totally freaked out, scared, broke and broken. We had our car repossessed, we had phones & internet disconnected, we were behind in all our loans and credit cards and I had no idea how we were going to put food on the table and get through this week, let alone think about anything in the future!

My husband struggled to find work but finally got a low level job with basic pay to put food on the table but that didn’t make ends meet and covered about 25% of our living expenses.

*** I KNOW!! Its CRAZY that I’m sharing this with you right!!?? Most coaches / mentors would NEVER share anything like this as they want to look AMAZING and only want you to know about their achievements and their success!! So why am I sharing this with you? It’s more than just wanting to be real, authentic and vulnerable… It’s so you can relate to where I’ve been and KNOW that I can also relate to where you are and understand the pain you are going through!! The struggle is all part of your future success story and VULNERABILITY is the GREATEST form of COURAGE! OK, lets get back to the story…***

Trusting that everything happens for a reason I started looking for alternative options and crossed to the dark side…. I joined a network marketing company after being ANTI network marketing my entire life!!

I was totally blown away with how loving and supportive this community of people were and they helped me, supported me, believed in me and empowered me to put all the broken pieces back together again only stronger and a better version of the me that had fallen apart. This beautiful community of heart-centred servant leaders helped me grow, accept me for who I am, inspired me to be my true authentic self without a mask and supported me to get back up and allowed me to own my brilliance and SHINE.

I started to build our business with consistent daily actions following a simple system and shared with others what I was doing. We sold our home (just in time before we lost it) to clear out as much of the debt as we could and we moved into a teeny tiny townhouse to reduce our expenses to as minimum as possible. I also did something I never thought I’d have to do – I swallowed my pride, I set my ego aside and did something I never ever thought I’d have to do! I went to Centrelink! They were able to provide us with some short term support relief to supplement our income with a parenting payment and low income earners to give us some financial relief and then I found out we also qualified for rent assistance so that just gave us a little bit of breathing space that we needed whilst we were getting ourselves back on track.

the-view-sydney-director-recognition-1016 18 months on, we are not totally debt free, however we are super close. We have no credit cards. We have a very tight budget and our network marketing business is continuing to grow and pay us a residual income. We just got recognised on stage this weekend in front of over 2,000 people for hitting the rank of Director, which is the 2nd level of leadership which is a huge milestone in this company and achieved by just 0.1%. Whilst this is a great achievement, its really just the beginning of where the residual income kicks in, so its now onwards and upwards! I’ve linked arms with global leaders who are successful and have the income and lifestyle I want and they are mentoring me and supporting me to achieve the same.

In the past 18 months I’ve gone from broke and emotionally broken, stressed, depressed, totally disconnected from my family to the Happy Holiday Mum where I am happy, free, head over heals in love with my husband, full time Mum, I’ve had 8 amazing holidays / short trips and a business that will soon bring us total financial freedom…. AND I’m heading off to Bali next month and Las Vegas the month after that!

We are super blessed and I hope that by being open, authentic and vulnerable and sharing my story, that I can give hope to someone else who is in the same situation. I hope that I can ignite that tiny spark within and give you belief that no matter what your circumstances, that you can pick yourself back up and achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of multiplied by infinity!

My biggest lesson is that its not about the “stuff” we may have lost everything materially, but what we gained was LIFE, our family, amazing bucket list experiences, happiness, fun & laughter, freedom, fulfilment and love. We are now all about inspiring others to live a life they love and to #LiveLifeNow

Enough about me… what about YOU? Did something in this post resonate with you today? Are you ready to make a change in your life?

Have YOU Had ENOUGH!?

July 16, 2015 By Kylie Courtie

I want to share a story with you that may inspire and empower you to make a decision to change to have the life you want.

I remember it so clearly. It was about 18 months ago. I was lying in the foetal position crying. Not just crying, in fact I was balling my eyes out, rocking my body back and forth and saying the words “I’ve had enough. This is NOT the life I signed up for! I don’t want to live this way anymore!”

You see I woke up this day and felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I was stressed out with our business. We had people who owed us a lot of money (over $250k) go bankrupt on us and that put a lot of financial pressure on the rest of our business. We were advised to liquidate one of our companies. This resulted in challenges with franchisees, litigation, hate mail packs, threats to “expose me” to the media and personal attacks. I was hating what I was doing. I was 40 kilos overweight. I was getting through each day on a bad diet washed down with coffee until it was time to drink wine. I was missing my friends (no time for them), I was totally disconnected from my husband and kids, I hated where we lived and felt like everything was a mess and life was totally out of control. So in that moment I made a decision to change. I decided that I didn’t want to live this life any more.

I’d had ENOUGH!

So I started asking myself the question, so if you are clear this is what you don’t want, what do you want? How do you want your life to look? So I created a Vision Board and a theme for the year- it was to be my “F” Year. “F” represented many things to me, but mainly it was a “Fuck it” year – I’m doing what I want when I want. So I created a year of FUN, Family, Friends, Financial Freedom & “Fuck it” we are out of here and we had lots of amazing holidays including 2 trips to Fraser Island, a couple of trips to Melbourne & Sydney, a 10 night cruise with our family to Papua New Guinea and a trip to Bali with my husband. It was more than just having holidays, I was looking to FIND ME in the process!! I’d got so lost that I didn’t even know who I was anymore! I’d become so stuck in a rut I stopped being “ME” and started living the way I thought society would accept me. I started fearing being judged and wanted to be liked and accepted. In the process however, I lost myself and when I “woke up” it was like I was living in someone else’s life / body.

So I made the decision that in 12 months time I would no longer have my current business and that what ever I was going to do would be something where I could be ME. I could do it MY way. I wanted to have the freedom to do what I want when ever I wanted. I wanted the flexibility to put family, friends and LIFE first. I wanted simplicity. I wanted to be able to travel and be based from anywhere in the world. I was also clear that I wanted to make a difference and help others to break free and live a life they love too.

So why is this relevant to YOU?

It saddens me that you are tolerating a life that sucks! You are continuing to struggle and survive through each day like I was because you can’t see a way out. You feel trapped like this is just the way it is and you don’t have any other choices. Are you in a lot of debt? Guess what – I was too!! I was so far in debt it made me sick!!

But it all starts with making a decision that you don’t want to live this way any longer. You need to want to make a change. I understand that change is scary – doing something new usually is. But what is more scary, is staying the same and living this way for the rest of you life!!

You see the sad fact is that most people die at about age 35!! They’re just not buried until about age 85. You know most people are walking around dead!! The only difference between being in a rut and a grave is the depth of the hole. This is about YOU getting out of your rut and doing something BIG in your life.

Mark-Twain-Quote2

Mark Twain said “Twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do that the things you did do.” Sometimes you have to jump and grow your wings on the way down.

Let me plant this seed for you – If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die. Is that what you want? If you woke up 20 years from now and life was exactly the same as it is now, how would you feel? Or are you ready to declare that you’ve had ENOUGH! Are you ready to make a change? Are you ready to take action so that you can turn your life around and have it all. You DO have a choice. You are so powerful. You have everything you need inside of you to achieve anything! The only person holding you back is you! You’re broken. You don’t believe you can do it anymore!

There is only one thing that’s certain, and that is death. You’ve only got a limited time here. On your tombs stone will be the year you are born and the year you die and in between those is a dash. So here is what I want you to think about – What is your DASH going to look like? Are you going to finish your life and look back and say “WOW! That was AWESOME!” Or are you going to look back and say “ugh… I could have been better, I wish I would have tried more things, I wish I would have ventured out and travelled more, I wish I would have been more courageous.” But you know what? At the end its too late! So make a decision NOW that your dash is going to be as meaningful as you possibly can.

Are YOU Ready for a Change?
