Three Simple Shifts to Manifest Clients and Cash · The One Small Change Podcast

0:00
Welcome to the One Small Change. I am thrilled to embark on
0:04
this journey of exploration and transformation with you. I am glad you
0:07
put time in your calendar to be here or if you're walking or whatever you're
0:11
doing. I'm your host, Yvonne McCoy, and I bring almost 30 years
0:15
of entrepreneurial experience. And I have an
0:18
incredible passion for discovering growth through the power
0:22
of seemingly small change. And so every week I try to bring
0:26
somebody new to you so that you can find some new thing that
0:29
you can do that's going to help you in your
0:33
exploration and your inspiration. And this week we are
0:36
talking with Irina Portnova.
0:40
And you know, one of the things she's going to do is she's going to
0:43
share with you some smaller, unexpected decision
0:47
or thing that happened in her life, be there personally or professionally
0:51
that sparked that growth. And
0:55
I just want to say that I am so happy that you've taken time out
0:59
of your schedule to be here and share with us today. So tell my,
1:02
tell my people what it is you do and what happened that made
1:06
you so good at what you do. First of all, Yvonne,
1:10
thank you so much for inviting me to your amazing podcast.
1:14
And I'm super excited to share some wisdom that
1:17
I've learned through my experience experience through my years. And
1:22
obviously something is going to channel through, through me
1:25
whatever we are going to talk about. So a little bit about myself.
1:29
My name is Irina Portnova, as you already Ivan mentioned,
1:33
and I call myself a manifestation star because
1:36
I've manifested consciously great things in my life and that's
1:40
exactly what I teach others to do. And if
1:44
somebody doesn't know what manifestation is, it's basically
1:47
whatever we have in our thoughts
1:51
eventually is going to turn out to be in our real life.
1:54
So a lot of times the easiest way to explain, I always say, hey,
1:58
look at your life results. That's exactly what you
2:02
created with your thinking. And my gem
2:05
is I am focusing on money because money
2:09
is energy and this is something we can go dive
2:13
deeper. And I love to work with coaches,
2:16
creators, entrepreneurs, somebody who is actually
2:20
wanted to turn around their business, have more
2:23
money flow as well as client flow.
2:27
Well, before we even get started, you said something. Oh,
2:31
you said something that I
2:34
hadn't thought about. And I know a lot of people
2:38
have,
2:42
especially business people, you know, they tend to think of
2:46
manifestation as being really woo, you know.
2:50
But I like the way that you said it. It's really,
2:54
you are thinking about it and if you can't, if you don't think about
2:57
something, if you don't have it in your brain, what is the chance
3:01
that you're going to recognize it when it comes? I don't know
3:05
whether I've changed your meaning or not. I mean, I'm talking about it kind
3:09
of afterwards and you're talking about it kind of at the beginning.
3:13
Yeah, absolutely. It's basically what we
3:18
focus on is going to expand. If we focus on
3:21
worry around the money, we are going to bring more
3:24
experiences into our life that show us. Yeah,
3:28
you're right. Because this is what we are putting our energy
3:32
to. Right. And I just wanted to mention for everybody,
3:35
we all know about emotions, but not too many people pay
3:39
attention to the emotions because we are all trained to be
3:43
logical people. Right. So the most strongest
3:46
emotions, Ivan, are fear and love.
3:50
And the way our brain is wired, we are
3:54
constantly in that survival mode. Meaning that we are
3:58
constantly fear of something. Right. And the more we are
4:01
staying in that fear emotions. Okay. I'm afraid that my
4:05
money are going to disappear if I'm going to invest
4:09
in myself up. I'm feared that my bank account is not going to be
4:12
the way that I wanted. Right. And a lot of people are living
4:16
in that fear mode. And guess what is, because it's very
4:20
strong emotion, we create more of the experiences that
4:23
show to us. So what I love to do, I love to take
4:27
people into the love emotion and ask them,
4:31
what would you rather experience when it comes to
4:34
money? Right? And let's just shift our focus from
4:38
worry to something that you love. And once
4:42
people just start even talking about it, like I said, if
4:46
money wasn't an issue, what would you do right now?
4:49
Right? And that brings like, see, you just smiled right
4:53
away. It just like all it takes for us is just to shift our
4:57
thought and we are completely opening up for other
5:00
possibilities. We are smiling, our nervous system
5:04
is calm. Because again, if we are constantly, you know,
5:08
like rigorously fighting with something or we cannot create and
5:11
that's exactly the most important thing. Well, you've said a couple
5:15
of things that, that, that I say to people all the time. I, I talk,
5:18
talk about. You talk about fear and love. I talk about
5:22
pain and pleasure, right? And the reason I left when you said if
5:26
money was not an issue because you know, there are,
5:30
you know, when people are looking at objections, the first,
5:33
first two is time or money, right? And
5:37
so, you know, in, in that kind of irrational kind
5:41
of thing, it's like if not if money was on an object,
5:45
what would you want or what would you do? And you know, if they tell
5:48
you they. They wouldn't. Still wouldn't be interested in what you're doing. Then. Then.
5:52
Then they're really not interested, you know, and time is
5:56
something. We all have the same amount of time. And so it's a matter of
5:59
what you choose to do. But I think the thing
6:03
that you said that I like the most is. Is kind of one of
6:06
my favorite things. It's like we collect evidence to
6:10
reinforce our beliefs. So if you believe that money is,
6:15
you know, is hard or scarce, every time
6:19
it's hard or scarce, you're gonna go see, you know, as opposed
6:22
to when you have a good situation, you don't go see. Money
6:26
is not. And. And probably one of the most
6:30
powerful. I'm stepping on your toes. But one of the most
6:33
powerful things that ever happened to me was we. I
6:37
was at a conference and we had to do, like, role play. And we,
6:40
You. You were you. And then your partner was money. And you had to
6:44
talk about money the way you felt. And I was like, you
6:48
know, every time I get money, something breaks. And I was, you know,
6:52
and I was so lucky because the person that I had as a.
6:56
As. As a, you know, money, my partner went to
7:00
me. This is why I don't come visit you, because you're always
7:03
so angry with me.
7:07
Oh, my God, he's right.
7:12
Yeah. So our thoughts about money
7:16
are so powerful, and it's something that
7:21
we are not thought to look at. We, you know, we don't look at money
7:24
as our friend or, you know, we've invested in with
7:28
people who have money or selfish or, you know, all these weird
7:32
things. All right, with that, I'm going to shut up and let you do your
7:35
thing because apparently you just pushed a button for me. So I
7:38
hope you're pushing a button for my audience as well. I
7:42
just love this conversation, Yvonne. And it's going to get even better
7:46
because again, my biggest
7:49
breakthrough was when I learned that money is energy
7:53
like everything else, right? When we talk about energy,
7:57
we are pure energy. If we take out our skin,
8:00
our bones, it's just the pure energy. And our energy
8:04
is creative, right? So when people start talking about money,
8:08
I say. I always say, you know what? I love money and
8:12
I love to flirt with money. So it's like basically having the
8:16
loving relationship, right? Money
8:19
is nothing different than, you know, talking to the person. Nothing
8:23
different than talking about relationship, talking about health,
8:26
anything. I do not know why we were wired the way that we
8:30
shrink each time we hear the word money, right?
8:34
And I love to laugh because I Said like if
8:38
people getting together at the party, the two taboo
8:41
topics are money and sex. Like, you know,
8:45
pretending that they are not existent. And I do not understand
8:48
why a lot of people have a lot of blame and shame around it.
8:53
And again, if we are talking from manifestation point, right? It's
8:57
all about thinking. And we are all thinking something
9:01
on a particular frequency. What does it mean, frequency?
9:04
Well, if we go back to physics now, a little bit of science, right?
9:09
If we go back to physics, everything in this world is
9:13
vibrating, but everything is vibrating on a different
9:16
rate of vibration. Like the table is vibrating, but we
9:20
do not notice its vibration because it's vibrating at a very
9:24
slow frequency, right? And our energy is
9:27
vibrating, but we are all vibrating on a Saturn
9:30
frequency. What does it mean? For instance, if you decide to
9:34
listen to the radio station, what is your favorite, you know, music
9:38
channel or whatever you are listening? Ivan. That's a
9:42
bad one for me because I'm a visual learner. So I.
9:46
Okay, so tell me about the. The channels on the tv. Like if I
9:50
give you the remote, which channel would you tune into? I would
9:53
either tune into something like Law and Order.
9:58
Okay? All right. Design, beautiful.
10:02
Love it. So this is a perfect example. So these
10:05
channels, what when you press on the home design,
10:09
you are not going to see the Law and Order, right? For
10:13
that you have to press that button that will change that
10:16
channel for you. That's exactly what frequency is. And our
10:20
thinking is also in a particular frequency. We are all thinking in
10:23
frequencies. So when we related to our daily life. Because
10:27
if person is asking, so I do not understand how am I thinking,
10:31
right? Where is my frequency? We are talking about the most,
10:35
you know, down emotions are shame, blame,
10:39
fear, right? So now we are having that, you know, understanding,
10:43
okay? If I feel shame around money, so my
10:46
energy is vibrating really low, right? So in
10:50
order for me to step, at least I want to think neutral. If
10:54
I cannot go to these elevated emotions of gratitude,
10:58
of joy of love, right? So let me stay at least on the mu
11:02
neutral state. And the neutral state could look like, okay,
11:05
I might see that. The fact is, when I open my bank
11:09
account, I have X amount of dollars, right? I do see
11:13
that this is the fact. But the truth is,
11:17
and the truth is that we are all energy
11:21
being and we can actually create with every breath that
11:25
we are taking. So I teach people, we do not save money, we
11:28
create more. Because this is, you know, like
11:32
a different switch. Because a lot of people thinking, okay, I'm
11:36
going to cut off on that membership. Okay, I'M not going to invest into,
11:40
into the coach because I have to save, right? And
11:43
saving is the lack energy because it's like
11:47
constantly we are in the energy of it's not good, it's not
11:51
enough, right? What I love to show people, no,
11:54
we can create and we can create as much
11:58
as we want to write. Just, you know, like to give the
12:02
example, like coaches might say, you know, like entrepreneurs. What do you mean create?
12:05
Meaning just, you know, like idea is the first currency from the
12:09
universe. We can receive one dollar idea. We can receive million
12:13
dollar idea. So here we go. The idea pops in,
12:16
okay, what are some of the cash injections that I can do? Maybe
12:20
I have already taught some classes. Maybe I can package that
12:24
and I can sell it, right? Have the funnel starting with
12:27
something low and like, little by little introduce people to who
12:31
I am and just then, you know, show up on that enrollment
12:35
call and I have the client, right? So the idea is that
12:39
a lot of people are sitting in that circumstances.
12:42
But I always love to say, Ivan, the circumstances
12:46
would never be gone. It's always going to be something on
12:50
our way to put it as an excuse.
12:53
So I say, why don't we work through the circumstances? We
12:57
notice that the circumstances is there, but the truth is
13:00
that we are abundant beings and this is not
13:04
something somebody was teaching us, right? And we all have
13:08
that tap to that abundance. It's not just for chosen one.
13:12
Abundance is our birthright. So I love to
13:15
compare the universe with the ocean. I
13:19
say, if we go to the ocean with the teaspoon, we receive the
13:22
teaspoon of the water. If we go to the ocean with the buckets,
13:26
we received the bucket full of water. Same thing happens. Whatever
13:31
we are going to request from the universe, that's exactly what we are
13:34
returning. Well, it's interesting, but going back to the situation
13:38
with the gentleman. So part of the
13:42
exercise was to say, I
13:45
have enough money, I will have enough money to live the kind of life
13:49
that I want. And so sometimes we have a
13:53
gap in our belief that's hard for us to believe. And
13:57
so my gap belief at that time was, aren't
14:00
I lucky that I have enough money to take care of emergencies
14:04
instead of like, why do I always have, you know, kind of thing? And it
14:07
was interesting because it really did change the way
14:11
that I looked at money and, you know, what was going on. And I think
14:15
the other thing that you're talking about, about energy
14:19
is so important because
14:23
people buy from us, not
14:29
it's how we make them feel. And that Energy.
14:33
And that's what, what I teach is that you need to get back to yourself
14:37
the way that your, you know, your unique self was when you were
14:40
young, so that you, you're using your skills and your clients see you.
14:44
And so for me, one of the things that, you know, I want to be
14:47
is I want to be energetic. And so I love it now that I've made
14:50
this pivot in my business, you know, when I talk to clients,
14:54
clients go, I love your energy. And I, and I think the thing
14:57
that's important is we vibrate at different, you know, like
15:01
you say we vibrate, but our energy is at different levels. Like, my
15:05
energy is really good for some people, but it's not good for
15:09
others. You know, it's like I overpower them and they're probably
15:12
people out there that go, that I'm not energetic enough.
15:16
That's good, because that means that the perfect client is going to be
15:20
really happy with you. Absolutely. You know,
15:24
so what are three things that you think we could do,
15:27
start doing now to change, you know, to start manifesting
15:31
clients? Yes, I love that.
15:35
First and foremost, we have to have the vision. We
15:39
have to have the ending goal, because if we do not know
15:43
where we are going, it's like we are that
15:46
sailor in the open sea and there is no wind in
15:50
our favor because we do not know where we are going. Right. So
15:53
first we want to have that vision. What do I mean by vision? Like really
15:57
having a crystal clear idea. This is where I want
16:01
to be with my business, let's say a year from today, how much
16:05
money you want to generate, how many clients you want to
16:09
serve. Right. What does it look like for you, that lifestyle when
16:12
you already reach your desire? Right. So, so have that crystal
16:16
clear vision. Right. Because that vision becomes your anchor.
16:21
So can I, if I interrupt you here, will that interrupt your thought?
16:25
Yes. No, I'm smiling now. I, you know,
16:29
so one of the things I teach is called dead reckoning, which is a sailing
16:33
term. And it, you know, it's from the old days when they only had
16:36
sails, you know, because the whole idea is you can't sail in a straight
16:40
line. You know, there are currents and winds, and so you're always making the
16:43
adjustment, but you pick the point where you want to end up. So
16:47
you were, generally speaking, you're headed in that direction, and
16:50
that's what, you know, your North Star, your, your, the thing that you
16:54
hold on to, that pulls you forward and gives you momentum.
16:58
And that's exactly what you're saying. Mm, beautiful.
17:02
100%. Yes. So second would be
17:06
belief. Because a lot of people say, let me
17:09
see it, then I'll believe it. But it works the other way around.
17:13
We believe it and then we receive it. Right? And
17:16
if somebody is still doubting, I can
17:20
just ask you, please go back in your life
17:24
at any experiences not even related to your business,
17:28
have you done something that you truly, truly wanted to do and
17:31
you did not know if it's going to show up for you, you did not
17:35
know if you're going to be successful. You still went on, you did it,
17:39
and you actually were very successful in that. We
17:42
all have these kind of proofs, right? Because like I said,
17:46
our brain is wired to see only what is bad, what is
17:50
not working, what is failing. Now we are shifting our
17:54
focus, okay? Like you mentioned, Ivan, let's collect the evidence
17:57
going in our past to prove, because that's exactly
18:01
how our energy works. It does not matter whether we are
18:05
learning the new sport, whether we are learning to speak another language,
18:09
we are learning to play the instrument. Energy works the same.
18:13
How do we become skill, skillful at something? We practice,
18:17
we do it consistently and we have somebody by
18:21
our side who can coach us, right? Whether this is, you know, the
18:24
musician that's teaching us how to play, whether this
18:28
is the athlete, sport, sport, coach, right? Whatever
18:32
it is. Because this is the shortcut. A lot of people do not
18:36
think, see that by investing in themselves, they are
18:39
creating that shortcut. Otherwise it's going to be a long process.
18:44
So believing is the second one. And, and
18:48
commenting on that, on that thing about going back, I would
18:52
even say think about a time when
18:56
you did something that it was really easy for you.
19:00
And somebody else said to, we don't do it that way because you
19:03
know that that's where they're trying to make you condition
19:07
you to the cookie cutter kind of thing.
19:11
And you're. You don't get, you know, you don't get the appreciation or
19:15
the acknowledgment for the uniqueness of how you handle the situation.
19:19
And I just actually had that aha this month
19:23
that when I was in corporate situations and I was like, really
19:26
interested in something and I. And I did it, you know, I was like, oh,
19:30
let's do. People, I'm told,
19:34
felt threatened, like, is she trying to get my job? Because she's really into this.
19:38
Is she? You know, and so they were like, we don't do it that way
19:40
or no, we don't want you to, you know, and. And so the
19:44
thing that you were really good at, instead of being,
19:48
getting positive input for it, you got a negative input.
19:52
And so that's what I would say to be, you know, careful of as well.
19:56
I mean, when I graduated from and got my
19:59
mba, I was making more money than
20:03
my dad was as the head electrical engineer
20:06
for the city of Philadelphia. And I was, I felt
20:10
ashamed because worked in his career for
20:14
so long and I literally did not know what I was
20:17
doing. Yeah. And, and
20:21
so we, we have these weird ideas about money. I
20:25
mean, all right, let's get number three.
20:30
Yes, number three. The most important thing. Have fun in
20:34
the journey. Because again, it just like we were talking
20:38
about energy. A lot of people are like, okay, give me the
20:41
strategy and I'm going to use this perfect strategy and
20:45
it's going to work. No, it doesn't work this way. I always say,
20:49
you know, we have, our mindset is 85%
20:53
once we are consistent, once we are just kind of
20:56
curious strategy, believe it or not, only 5%
21:00
and another 10% is actions. So what I usually say
21:04
to my clients, I say, hey, let's start your day from
21:08
the energy. And this is something like Yvonne, you mentioned, right? Energy.
21:12
We want to set ourselves for the day that is
21:16
ahead of us. How do we do it? We are not starting with our to
21:19
do list. We are actually starting with our to be listed.
21:24
How am I going to be today? How am I going to
21:27
show up today, right to this world? Am I curious?
21:31
Am I, you know, excited? Am I in service? Right.
21:35
And then when we abstain from that state of being,
21:39
our thoughts are also connecting to that state of being.
21:42
Rather than being frustrated and saying, nobody listens
21:46
to what I have to offer, nobody is buying from me, stay
21:50
curious and say, what can I do differently
21:53
that I haven't done before to see if that's
21:57
going to produce the desired result on this journey. It's
22:01
super, super important not to hold to
22:05
something like, okay, this is what I expect. Expectations
22:08
just, you know, like illusions. You gotta have the
22:12
intention. Intention is powerful, right? Like, why do I do
22:16
this task? Why do I connect to potential clients? What is
22:19
my outcome that I desire? But we are never
22:23
grab into that thinking that it has to come out this way. Because
22:27
it's interesting how the universe brings us something that we
22:31
desire in the most unexpected ways. Right? So
22:35
I say that have the fun in your journey, be
22:38
more the scientist than the judge. And once you
22:42
open yourself up because understand that you are co creator,
22:46
whatever you have right now, stop blaming the
22:50
coaches, stop blaming the circumstances. Stop blaming the
22:54
economy. Stop blaming. Not having enough strategies.
22:58
Just start with yourself, because you have the full power to
23:02
turn it around and make it successful.
23:05
I love what you say, and you've said so many things that are important.
23:10
One of the things is, you know, I teach
23:14
this exercise the three words, and one of the words is
23:17
energetic. And so when I get up in the morning, I go, how can
23:21
I make this day energetic, adventuresome, and curious?
23:26
Right. Kind of sets the tone for the day, just like you said.
23:30
The other question that I think that people can ask to help them
23:33
is, what's working? Right. And why?
23:37
And because I think we, you know, we. We. We tend to
23:41
go, well, this isn't working. How can I fix it and ignore the things
23:45
that are working? If we do more of the things that are working,
23:49
first of all, it's a lot more fun, you know, because they're working. And
23:53
second of all, you don't start kind of tearing yourself down, like, why isn't this
23:56
working? Is it something I'm not doing? Do I need to, you know,
24:00
that negative self talk that we give each other? And so
24:04
I think, all right, let me. Let me say back to
24:08
you what I got from this. And
24:12
I don't know that I can actually do this in, like, two sentences.
24:15
But the first thing is that you need to start with yourself
24:19
and what it is that you want for yourself in
24:22
a positive way. And money is just part
24:26
of that. And there is not
24:30
a scarcity of money. And when you are on that
24:34
path, when you are have that mindset or that
24:37
vibration or that energy, whatever you call it,
24:41
you will find yourself in unexpected
24:44
situations or more of the situations that are
24:48
working that you can take advantage of, and
24:51
things will happen the way. More like the way you want it. And what
24:55
I say to people is, once you understand what your unique
24:59
power is, suddenly you see opportunities that you never
25:03
considered before because you didn't think that you could be
25:06
helpful in that, because you didn't realize what you were good at. So
25:10
this is. This is a whole package. I mean, even though you're
25:14
talking about cash manifestation, I think this is something
25:18
that impacts your whole life. You know, it
25:21
affects you from minute to minute. You know, even.
25:25
Even. You know, even from. If I'm
25:29
an energetic person, then I'll stop and get on my rebounder in between
25:32
calls. You know, if I'm an energetic person
25:36
that I'm gonna, you know, go to a call that, you know, could really
25:40
be important to me, even though it's at seven, you know, Seven o'
25:44
clock at night. And I don't want to, but I'm gonna be
25:48
present because, you know, whatever. So this is,
25:51
you know, this is a whole life
25:55
philosophy. And one of the results of it is,
25:59
is that you get more money. You get. Think of it
26:03
as you get more clients, which is where your love is.
26:07
And those clients are going to be willing to pay you more because you're so
26:11
good at what you do and because you, you connect with them so
26:15
well. Oh, my God, that's a lot.
26:19
If you're not excited after this conversation, you need to
26:23
check your pulse, people, because this is. I'm
26:27
like all wound up here. I already kind of knew some of these
26:31
things, but didn't put them together. All right, so, so do this. We need to
26:34
do this so that we don't forget to ask about your gift.
26:38
So tell us about your gift. Yeah. And before I run into my
26:42
gift, Ivan, one more thing that just like literally dropped into
26:45
my mind. The gratitude, right?
26:49
Even when we wake up and say, oh my God,
26:53
my bank account, how am I going to pay the bills? So
26:57
this is the perfect time when you sit down and just write three
27:00
things, what you are grateful for. Three to five things, right? So we
27:04
shift the focus of what we already have.
27:08
Enough. Because abundance doesn't just cover the money.
27:11
Abundance comes in many ways, right? Maybe
27:15
I'm abundant with the love of my family, right?
27:19
I'm abundant with the beautiful trees that are so
27:22
around in me, the abundance of birds. The idea
27:26
is we want just turn our focus to abundance. And then
27:30
from that thinking, we are just saying, what kind of
27:34
step can I take today from where I am with what I have?
27:37
Because now we elevated ourselves energetically and
27:41
our thinking is on the different frequency and the
27:45
ideas are going to be matching that frequency. So this is
27:49
like another tip that I just wanted to give just in case if somebody's
27:52
going to say, but, right. No, but
27:57
we all can do it, right? And it just like staying
28:00
curious. So as far as my gift, I have this beautiful,
28:04
beautiful gift that I designed. It's called
28:07
Chichen voice notes. Basically these are
28:11
very short voice notes that you are
28:14
tuning in three times a day. So I call it Morning
28:19
Mojo, where you start your day with the energy of receiving.
28:23
This is where our abundance begins. And it's like two
28:27
minutes each, you know, each voice note and it starts like,
28:30
hello, money star. You already got into that beautiful
28:34
energy. Then in the midday, you are checking, you're
28:38
refocusing and take one powerful step, step to
28:41
invite money in just do it without overthinking.
28:45
And the evening, you're just doing that energy reset where
28:49
you are clear from your scarcity. You just close
28:53
the day in certainty. Let your energy do
28:57
the work while you are resting. So they are like
29:00
two minutes or less per each voice note. So
29:04
just listen, tune it and make it your morning, day and
29:08
evening routine and you'll see, see how money start
29:11
coming to you in most unexpected ways.
29:15
So I will say to you, if you don't have six minutes a
29:19
day to improve your situation, then you really are
29:23
not serious about improving your situation. And
29:26
you're saying this, I'm thinking to myself,
29:32
you know, I particularly like the one at the end of the day that I
29:35
can just listen to when everything else is done,
29:39
you know, because I've started doing this sleep thing where I'm saying,
29:43
you know, my brain is going to, you know,
29:46
rest and you know, solve any problems that I still have left or
29:50
situations and tomorrow is going to be filled
29:54
with endless opportunities. Right. That
29:58
fits right into, into what you're saying. So I can add that to
30:01
my, to my thing. All right, so, so now turn the spot.
30:05
When was the last time you did something new for the first time?
30:09
Oh my God. It's constantly. Ivan, when we are in that self
30:13
growth, there is always something, you know, like new ideas
30:17
coming in. And that thing is what I love to explore new ideas
30:21
to bring into the business because I love it. Done is better
30:24
than perfect, as one of my mentors say. And I just love
30:28
to experiment. And another way that I also
30:32
rewire my brain is I take different routes when
30:35
I'm driving my car because again, it's all about
30:39
rewiring our brain. If we are constantly doing the same
30:43
thing over and over and over again, we are producing the same
30:46
results. So what you just mentioned, it's super important
30:50
to do something new because we are growing through
30:54
that discomfort and we are learning it's okay
30:58
to be uncomfortable. We get comfortable to be uncomfortable.
31:03
I, I agree with you. And I have to laugh because I just read something
31:07
the other day. It's like a Japanese practice that you put
31:11
clothes on inside out and walk backwards to help to
31:14
rewire your brain. Yes. You know, and,
31:18
and there is a thing called the rule of rigidity that you do everything
31:22
exactly the same way. And the reason behind that is
31:25
partially be for safety. It feels safe. And so you always
31:29
do it that way. And I like you. You know, when I kind
31:33
of realized that when I learned about that, it was like, oh my God, I
31:36
actually change lanes at the same place when I'm on the highway. I did,
31:39
you know, and I did the same things trying to, you know, even though it
31:43
was maybe not the most efficient way to get where I was going,
31:46
I got to see different things and, you know, oh,
31:50
my God, I can't believe we're finished. All right, so before we can I just
31:54
quickly share something fun like you were saying, you know, like go
31:58
backwards. My kids, my daughter
32:01
is 20, my son is 11. They,
32:05
like you now already got that in inside of them. They love
32:09
to mismatch the socks. Like all the time they are
32:12
wearing different socks. Right. And sometimes it irritates me,
32:16
but I'm just thinking about it. Oh, they are rewiring their brain.
32:20
So this is so, so cool. Like I said, sometimes
32:24
the most, the most exciting things and money
32:27
drop to us when we are just goofing and when we are just laughing.
32:31
Because again, when we talk about manifestation, the more
32:35
light hearted we are, the more we attract greatness.
32:39
I agree. I agree. All right, I gotta do the commercial.
32:44
For anybody who's listening to this, please take a minute and
32:48
share, subscribe and engage with this podcast on social
32:52
media. Because one of the reasons that I did it was I want, wanted to
32:55
bring interesting people into your. Into your life that you might not meet,
32:59
so they will supercharge your business so that it'll grow your,
33:03
you know, your whole web of connection. And it's my way of giving back
33:07
to the community and fueling your quest for growth and impact. And
33:11
I hope that you will continue to join me on the one small change
33:15
so that we keep making these tiny shifts that yield huge,
33:18
huge transformation. And there are a couple of episodes in there, if you
33:22
haven't heard the first one, there are a couple of episodes that, that are in
33:25
there that are just me by myself, having fun. And
33:28
so you should check it out. So, Irina, what are your words?
33:32
Wisdom? What's a quote people can remember and associate with
33:35
you? I love that. Just leave
33:39
your life to the fullest without the fear.
33:43
Because when we become fearless, the life starts living
33:47
limitless, right? When we become limitless, when we become
33:51
fearless, our life is limitless.
33:55
And people, we could go on forever,
33:59
but we can't. So remember, change is
34:03
simple, but it's not always easy. It requires courage, resilience, and
34:06
a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. And like I
34:10
always say, if you're not a little bit nervous about doing something new, it means
34:14
you really don't care. So use that energy
34:18
to go forward and build momentum. So I hope you'll continue to
34:21
join me on the one small change. And until the next time,
34:25
stay very, very curious. Irina, thank
34:28
you so much. And thank you so much. It's such a great fun
34:32
time. Thank you. And thank you to everyone who tuning in and
34:36
just decided to live your life to the fullest. This was
34:39
great. Thank you. Bye.
