  Speaker 1: Hi, it's Amy with Intuitive Coaching with Amy Radio, and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: this is your sacred space for spirituality, intuition, manifestation and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: metaphysical wisdom. How to follow your passion in middle age? Well, first,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: if your intention is to monetize your passion, make that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the goal from the very beginning. Do not wait for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: someone to give you permission. Do not wait for a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sign that says now you're allowed to make money doing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: what you love. That is still asking for permission. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the truth is this, The only person who can give
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you permission in this lifetime is you. So if the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: goal is to make money from your passion, be honest
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: about that and set the intention clearly in the beginning.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: How much do you want to make? What is the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: purpose for that money? Is it extra income? Is it
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: replacing your current job? Is it going to be patting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your retirement? Get specific, and if your goal is to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: replace your income, then the number needs to match what
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you are making now or exceed it. Do not settle
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for I'll just be happy if I make anything. No,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: if the goal is to monetize it, set the intention
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to make real money and see it like a paycheck
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that already belongs to you. And you're simply waiting to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: cash it. You won't know when and how it's all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: going to come together financially, but just know that it
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: will and put your whole heart into it. And I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: can give you this wisdom as a woman who has
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: been pursuing her passions for a very long time. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the second thing I would recommend is your always going
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to be learning, but learn as you go. I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people get stuck on taking course after course,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: workshop after workshop, class after class, preparing for forever and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: never actually producing anything. At some point, you have to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: stop preparing and start creating. Learn while you move forward,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Learn while you move forward, learn while you're in motion.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And third, you probably have a job, and maybe you're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: married and got some kids, yet responsibilities pulling at you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: all day, every day, and that means you're going to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have to carve out little pieces of time ten minutes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, thirty minutes in the parking lot while you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: waiting for something. Use every bit of time. Do not
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: wait for some perfect, magical block of free time, because
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's probably not going to come. Small. Focus time adds up,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it adds up. And then fourth, focus focus focus because
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Once you start, do not stop until you have finished something.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So if you start writing a book, don't stop until
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you finish that manuscript. Don't you dare stop until you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: finish that manuscript. Don't you dare stop until you finish.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: That is one of the reasons when it comes to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like books. I set really small word count goals for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a manuscript to get me through that first manuscript. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: even if I'm sick, I know I can write two
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty words in that day, and so then
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I feel accomplished and I keep coming back to it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: All of that adds up. But make it your priority.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Once you start, do not stop until you are finished,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and you will have high production dose and you'll have
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: low production days. And that's okay. Do not keep starting
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and stopping. It wears on you. It drains your confidence
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and energetically, it sits in your energy field. Is something incomplete,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and it drains your energy. You got to teach your
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: mind how to finish. And one of the ways you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: do that is you just keep coming back. You keep
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: coming back. You keep coming back, whether it's a book,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a screenplay, a business, a program, whatever it is, finish it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Set deadlines for yourself, hold yourself accountable to those deadlines.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Completion matters. And I'll say this, stop questioning it. If
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it's your best idea, there will always be another idea.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: There will always be something shinier for you to chase.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Work with the idea in front of you, pursue that,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: pursue that, pursue what makes you feel alive, what makes
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you feel like love, what feels like a passion? And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, that will have its peaks and valleys,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but as long as there's a deep desire there, you'll finish.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So stay with it because a part of the process
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of pursuing a passion in middle age is trusting yourself,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: completion and following through one more time. Life is always
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: going to make excuses. The kid will get sick, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: boss will quit, work will get busy, marriage will get hard.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Life is always going to life. That does not mean
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you have to stop pursuing your passion. You flow with it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you go with it, and you stay committed, and then
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: stop talking everybody about it. Just do it. Sometimes we
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: talk so much about a dream that our mind starts
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to feel like we've already done it. But we have it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and why because it takes so much energy to talk
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: about shit, so just stop talking about it. You can
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: mention it to people from time to time, but I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: find that people that are jip jip jabbing about every
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: idea that they have aren't doing a whole lot at doing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And so spend the energy that you would be in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: conversation about pursuing your passion actually pursuing the passion. Stop
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the announcement, stop the explaining, Protect what you're doing, protect
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: your energy, your love, your desire for it, and work
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: at it, and then your results will speak for themselves.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And then I'll say this, make the process as comfortable
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as possible. Figure out the best way for you to work.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So if you need a little space, carve out a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: space that's just a place where you work. If you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: need to go to the coffee shop every other day,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: go to the coffee shop every other day. If you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: need quiet, have quiet. If you need music of music,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you need to do a ritual beforehand. Do it, whatever
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it is. Figure out what you need so that you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: can do your work in the most comfortable way possible.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Being uncomfortable doesn't work, and it definitely doesn't work in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: middle age. Like make sure, make sure you have the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: right equipment to do what you need to do because
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: comfort helps you create consistency, and your consistency is what
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: leads to the results you most desire. And then I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: talked about this briefly, but I think it's worth circling
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: back to. Before you even begin any type of passion,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ask yourself, do I love this enough to see it through?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Enough to see it through? And you'll know. You know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: if it keeps following you around right and it's not
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: letting you go, it's you probably love it a lot
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and now it's time to get started. But if it's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: kind of fleeting here and there lip to do, maybe
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: not maybe, but only you will know. So just sit
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: down with yourself and ask do I love this enough
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to stick with it until it's done? Because I would
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: recommend that, given how busy life is, the way you're
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: going to stay in something and to see it to completion,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to see that manifest into whatever it is that you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: desire it to manifest into, you're going to have to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: love it. That's how you're going to be able to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: do the hardship, especially when life is coming at you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: from all directions. So choose something you truly love, not
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: something that sounds good, something you truly love, something you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: are willing to stay devoted to. And because this is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a show about pursuing your passions in middle age, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: want to say this clearly. Use your time right now.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Be all in now. Do not keep saying I'll do
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: it when, I'll do it, when I'll do it, when
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I'll do it when the kids are older, I'll do
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: it when work slows down, I'll do it when life
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: gets easier. You do not know where life is going
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to take you, and now is all you have, so
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: use it. And if need be get support. If you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: need a therapist, get one. If you need a coach,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: get one. If you need a spiritual if you need
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: spiritual support, get it. If you need mindset support, get it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Do not think struggling means that you're weak and you're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: not meant to do this. It just means you're human.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of support in my life that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: led to me getting my first novel done. Not because
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I sat there talking about writing a novel, but because
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the support helped me clear my mind enough so I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: could actually sit down and write it. The novel had
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: been coming to me for over a year, and if
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you're a writer, you know what I'm talking about, especially fiction.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: These I had two characters that would not leave me alone.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Every time I went into meditation, there they would be.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It was like, as soon as that was always snared
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: at the time, as soon as my ex husband would
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: go somewhere, all of a sudden, this brush of characters
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: wanted to show up and start talking to me. And
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I knew it was a novel. I knew they were characters,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and so trust that and get all the support you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: need so that you can execute. Sometimes work is getting
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually available to do the work,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and so get support. Do what helps you move forward,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Do what helps you complete the project. Do what helps
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you pursue your passion so that you have something to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: show for all your time, energy, and effort. Because I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: truly believe one of the greatest gifts you can give
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: yourself and the people around you is being willing to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: pursue your passion with your whole heart. When you do that,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you raise the vibration of your own life and you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: raise the vibration of the planet. So these are my
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: thoughts on following your passion and middle age, it's not
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: too late. Do it, do it, do it. It will
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: be crazy, fun and challenging, and you'll learn a lot.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But there's never a day that you will regret pursuing
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that passion and follow the wisdom I've given you. I'm
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a woman who has done it right and wrong in
