In this motivational monologue, Mary Schiller shares five key lessons she’s learned as a six‑figure coach. She urges listeners to stop doing work they dislike and focus on activities that light them up, to trust and act on their intuition, to speak with their authentic voice and lead boldly, to price their services appropriately and charge real money, and to find a mentor whose energy aligns with theirs. Throughout, she emphasizes that these practices have transformed her business and quality of life. The video concludes with a call to action to visit her website, join her email list, and follow her on Instagram for further resources on "getting paid to be you."

For years now, people have scoffed at me for saying you got to stop doing stuff you don't want to do. But look at this logically. If you're filling your time with things that you don't want to be doing, first First of all, what kind of life is that? And second of all, does that really seem like the way to a business that makes money and is delivering all of the dreams that you have in your life? Not so much. Please stop doing things you don't want to do and do only the things that light you up, that feel like they're expressing who you are and that are fun and exciting. You have permission. I don't care if this sounds woo-woo. I don't care. Lean into your intuition. Stop overthinking. Stop getting so much into your head about things. Start listening to what your heart is telling you. Feel that pull and answer it. Listen to what is calling to you from deep inside yourself and answer that every single time. I can't tell you what a difference this has made, not just in my business, but in my quality of life overall. It's been magical. Lean into your intuition and act from there. From the very beginning, I made a decision that I was going to use my own voice and I was going to step forward as a leader. I was going to take a stand for something and I wasn't going to follow the pack. When I first started, I was in a very small niche that had a lot of big fish in it. I didn't I stepped forward. I said things in the way that made sense to me. And guess what? I developed a really loyal following that way. This is so crucial. When you step forward as a leader, people will follow you and they will be loyal and excited to hear from you. No matter what directions you take, they will continue to be there for you. One thing that I have learned big time from being a Six Figure Coach is that you gotta charge actual money for what you do. I see so many coaches in particular, but other kinds of entrepreneurs, giving things away for free over and over and over again and never actually charging. I get it, it can be scary sometimes to ask people for money, but you know what? People love to pay you, so believe that what you have is valuable. Start charging actual money for it that is at a price point that will get you to that 6 figures and beyond. You're worth it. This is something I came to a little bit late in the game, and I wish I had done it earlier, and that's find a mentor. When I say a mentor, I mean somebody who gets you, who gets what you're trying to do. Most people don't understand this whole entrepreneurship thing, and most people aren't making six figures at it. You need to find someone who really understands what you're trying to do and has the kind of energy that you want to be around. It's not about finding somebody who's mastered all of the crazy strategies, many of which may not even feel good for you to be doing. They may not feel aligned. It's way more important to find somebody whose energy is a good match for you. You. That's what makes a good mentor. You can do this. If I can do this, you definitely can. I believe in you.
