What if the issue isn't that you haven't worked hard enough?
What if you've been following the wrong recipe?
Reset with Nicole
You already know
how to do hard things.
- You've been following everyone else's recipe for success — and yours still isn't done yet.
- You grind. You produce. You deliver. And somehow you still can't figure out where the money actually goes.
- People around you seem to have a secret ingredient. You can't name it. But you know it's missing from yours.
- You started at the bottom. You've worked your way up. And it still doesn't feel like enough.
- You make things for everyone else — pies, plans, presentations — and forget to nourish yourself in the process.
- You know something has to change. You just never got a real plan for how.
The story behind the recipe
I started at $7 an hour.
Not as a humble brag. As a receipt.
I used this exact mindset — the same one in Nikki's Millionaire Mindset Recipe™ — to build my way to a six-figure government career. The same career where The Infamous Nikki Pies Recipe won second place at the office potluck.
The only reason it came second? The winner was LTC Dailey. My maiden name is Daley. If I'm going to lose — it has to be to something that sounds like me.
From $7 an hour. To six figures. To building what will be seven. Both recipes running the whole time.
And now I'm selling that career to build something that belongs entirely to me.
These aren't regular pies either. They're mini pies. Individual. Crust all the way around.
You don't get a slice of someone else's. You get your own whole one.
You can have your cake and eat it too. But what's the point of cake when you can have a whole Nikki Pie that's entirely yours?
The rooms nobody invited me to
I have been in rooms across several industries with no W2. Not as someone's hire. Not with a title that explained why I was there. Just as myself.
I did it on purpose. To prove something — not to them, to you. That you are capable of walking into any room. That the room does not belong to the people who look like they belong in it. That the only person who can disqualify you is you.
Don't disqualify yourself out of a room. That's the lesson I took from my undergrad level. And every millionaire I've been in a room with said some version of the same thing.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. I heard that slogan as a child and it became the standard. So becoming a certified positivity practitioner was first on the list — because this perfectionist needed a foundation before she could build anything else. Several certifications and several thousand dollars later, I can tell you this:
My framework will prepare you to walk into the thousand-dollar rooms — and be ready when you get there.
The $1 recipe is not the destination. It is the first step on a ladder that leads somewhere real. The Freedom Reset. Change on Purpose. And eventually — the rooms where people invest $5,000, $10,000, $25,000 in themselves.
I walked into those rooms first. I'm holding the door.

If you've ever had a meal I made —
You know it slaps. Think about where your money would go if you followed the same recipe. The lemon extract. The lower rack. The patience. All of it applies.
Why both
The pie is
the coaching.
Every ingredient.
- The sweet potatoes are you — raw, unprocessed, exactly where you are when you show up.
- The butter is permission. The softening. Giving yourself space to stop being hard on yourself.
- The eggs are accountability. What holds everything together when the process gets messy.
- The lemon extract is the thing you didn't know was missing. Until you taste it. That's the CPA lens.
- The lower rack is where the real setting happens. From the bottom up. No shortcuts.
- And the mini pie crust all around? That's yours. The whole thing. Not a slice of someone else's journey.
"You cannot tell someone what they're going to love before they experience it. You can only make it with everything you have — and trust that the right person will taste it."
Lessons from the kitchen and the wrong crowd
The crown was always there.
The crowd just got loud.
Here's what I know about myself: I came into this world fully formed. The afro. The dimples. Two left feet. A voice that cannot carry a note — which has never once stopped me from finding a karaoke bar and giving Whitney Houston every single thing I have.
I was never becoming myself. I was always myself. I just spent years looking sideways — cheering for everyone else's coronation, not realizing the crown had been on my head the whole time.
That's the first lesson. And it took me longer to learn it than I'm proud of.
Looking around cheering everyone on — not realizing the crown has been on this prom queen's head since birth.
The second lesson came from the kitchen. When I started making the pie, everyone had an opinion. More sugar. Less butter. Different crust. And the more voices I let in, the more the flavor got muddled. Not because they were wrong. Because it wasn't their pie.
Too many cooks in the kitchen don't ruin the meal because they're bad cooks. They ruin it because it isn't their kitchen. Your life works the same way.
Not everyone is your Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson coached Michael Jordan to six championships. Kobe Bryant to five more. Greatest coaching record in the history of the NBA.
But Phil Jackson wasn't right for every player. And LeBron James — arguably the greatest to ever do it — has had multiple coaches throughout his career. Because even the best needs the right fit.
Not everyone is your Phil Jackson. And you are not everyone's LeBron James. The right voice for your kitchen is specific. Letting the wrong ones in costs you the whole flavor.
But here's the third lesson — the one that took the longest and cost the most.
Even after you clear the kitchen. Even after you find the right voice. Even then — the hardest part is what comes next.
Pastor Mike Jr. tells a story about being in the wrong crowd when he heard God. Not in a church. Not in a safe place. In the middle of exactly the wrong circumstance. And what made that moment so hard wasn't the hearing. It was what came after: trusting what he heard over what the crowd was telling him to do.
That's S and T in the R.E.S.T.'D™ system. Sitting in your truth long enough to hear the real thing. And then trusting it — even when the crowd you love doesn't understand where you're going.
The crown doesn't mean the path is easy. It means it's yours. You just have to be willing to trust what you hear when the crowd gets quiet and the truth gets loud.
That's what both recipes are about. That's what the coaching is about. That's what got me from $7 an hour to six figures to building seven.
I'm passing it on. For $1. Because the right person needs it right now — and I don't want price to be the thing that kept her from the kitchen.
This is for her
She knows something
has to change.
- She's been building — but she built without the right foundation and something keeps slipping.
- She left corporate or is leaving — and brought the J-O-B mindset right along with her.
- She's tired of getting someone else's slice. She wants her own whole pie.
- She's on the journey to seven figures and needs the recipe that actually works — not the highlight reel version.
- She's made things for everyone else her whole life. It's time to nourish herself.
If someone says "wow, sounds like you've been selfish today" — she wants to say: yes. I was. And it was exactly what I needed.
That woman is exactly who these recipes are for.
And if you've made it this far down the page — that woman is you.
