One time a palm reader picked up my hand and said this to me: . "You've worked for everything you have." . I nodded. . "You're tireless. And so determined." . My eyes watered. . "But you make it look so easy." . I accidentally read something about me that was really mean yesterday. . The anonymous user that my Google Alert picked up a thread with someone saying all of this is fake. . How I don't actually have any money. That I should be investigated for fraud. lol . She kept saying, "I am going to figure out HOW she got here." . I can tell you how I got here. . I created content. A fuck ton of content. And I shared it for free every day for 7 years. I grew an audience. . I shared offers with that audience. People bought them. . A lot of people. (It's actually not complicated.) . "The screenshots aren't real. Anyone can create a fake PayPal screenshot." . "Her personal life is a mess!" . Have you looked at my IG stories? I just like take walks, go to barre, eat with my friends... and work. (I really could spice it up a little.) . I was also called scam artist, cult leader, manipulator, and fraud. . I heard Oprah say once that she learned to stop reading what people were saying about her. . I was reminded of that today. . I'm turning my Google notifications off. . I'm putting someone on my team (thank you God for spiritual attorneys) in charge of handling the above. . And I'm going to do what I always do: Rise up. . Not just rise above, rise into my next self. . I am going to handle these situations not as Amanda with a multiple seven figure business, but as Amanda with a fucking ten figure business. . The Amanda who is so far into her next level that she really doesn't have the time for this kind of nonsense. . It can not stop me. It can not slow me down. . And it will not scare me. . I will find a way to use it as fuel. It will make me better. . And you can go on saying whatever the fuck you want. . I will pray for you. I will forgive you. . And I will rise. . Emoji me if you are determined to rise the fuck up?! . Rise above all the haters, naysayers, copiers, and crazies. . Amen?! Amen! .
