- 0:23chickens. Hey good morning from the
- 0:29chicken coop so I have a Justin for you today.
- 0:31Do you feel like you're doing everything?
- 0:33I'm are quoting this, by the way, everything you can in order
- 0:37to make your life, great, or get your outcomes or blank put in
- 0:42whatever you want in that spot. But I feel like I'm doing
- 0:45everything. Well, I get that conversation a
- 0:48lot with people because they show up and they say, well, I'm
- 0:52doing everything and it's not working and I swear to you, I
- 0:56swear Kim, I'm doing everything. I'm I'm working extra hours.
- 1:00I'm pouring into it. I'm still not getting the help
- 1:03from my family. Still not getting the help from
- 1:06my boss. They're not being nice.
- 1:07I'm still not getting the clients.
- 1:09I'm doing everything and this is a very hard condition to deal
- 1:17with write everything. As you know, you really believe
- 1:20you are doing everything. Well, I have a challenge for you
- 1:23mentally with this because it is not about doing everything.
- 1:28Always, I mean, yes, we have to do things.
- 1:30We can't It on our rumps and hope that it all comes to us.
- 1:33However, there is another part of this, which is really, I
- 1:37think why you're here with me on this podcast to begin with
- 1:40because this is where you get these little golden nuggets.
- 1:43And you can take them into your world and crack the code, if you
- 1:47will for yourself. And this is one of them because
- 1:50it's not about what you're doing.
- 1:52It's about who you're being. So, I'm going to give you a
- 1:55concept of this because this is something I talk to my clients
- 1:59about and I think think it is incredibly fundamental to the
- 2:03piece of it. So, let's just say you're in a
- 2:06business where you need clients. Most of us are in a business
- 2:08where we need clients of some sort, doesn't matter what kind
- 2:10of clients they are. And you're constantly thinking
- 2:14about, I need more business, I need more business, I need more
- 2:16business. Well that comes from a mindset
- 2:21of typically comes from a mindset of, I see something
- 2:25missing. I need more money, I need more
- 2:29cash, flow, whatever, It might be, it comes from scarcity,
- 2:33typically and you're very focused on the fact that there's
- 2:36a high level of scarcity. So you run out and you try to
- 2:40create more business and you're not necessarily doing it from a
- 2:44level of excitement. Or, I can't wait to meet these
- 2:48people, or I'm so happy. They're coming my way, you're
- 2:51doing it from scarcity, and that's the energy and the
- 2:54emotion you're in. So right away fundamentally,
- 3:00you're attracting more scarcity into your life because you
- 3:04haven't reset to get to that place of saying, okay well I'm
- 3:08going to now focus on this from a different emotion, if you
- 3:12will. Okay.
- 3:14Just bear with me here on this because the concept is a little
- 3:16deeper than some people have taken it.
- 3:19So if that's the emotion you're in and you're out there and
- 3:22you're really saying, I'm doing everything, I'm doing everything
- 3:26in your Taking all the actions, you're putting off an energy, an
- 3:31air, if you will of scarcity. So when somebody encounters you
- 3:36a potential client, you're coming from that place of
- 3:40desperation and we've all been with that person that feels
- 3:43desperate and we want to move away from them.
- 3:46We've all been. I don't care if it's in business
- 3:48or personal how about somebody that wants to date somebody and
- 3:51they're so desperate to just have anybody that you can feel
- 3:54it coming off of them and then you're just like Like, you know,
- 3:56I don't want anything to do with this person.
- 3:59That's the energy I'm talking about because it's all about
- 4:03what you think you're doing and not about who you're being.
- 4:07And this is about who you're being.
- 4:09So when you feel like you're doing everything, you probably
- 4:13are doing a ton of it, but it's not who you're being behind the
- 4:17scenes, something else is going on.
- 4:20So when you want to make shifts in your life, your personal
- 4:23life, your business, your family, like I will If you know
- 4:27me personally, you will never hear me complain about clients
- 4:31ever. I never will say a word, I don't
- 4:34feel it. I don't get frustrated with
- 4:36clients. I have a hard rule for myself,
- 4:41that says they are absolute gifts and I refuse to treat them
- 4:47and get upset with them for their actions that they don't
- 4:51even understand themselves. And I'm not going to feel like
- 4:53oh my God, why is this person being such a pain in my ass?
- 4:56Right now, or why are they texting me at 6:00 in the
- 4:59morning or 11:00 at night? Instead I just say, okay, this
- 5:04is where they are. They're obviously desperate.
- 5:06They're obviously having an emotion that they're out of
- 5:08control. They're obviously feel like they
- 5:10need help and therefore, I'm their resource now.
- 5:13That doesn't mean I have to take the call.
- 5:15That doesn't mean I have to answer the text.
- 5:17What it does mean though, is I'm not shifting my inside, I'm not
- 5:20allowing that to push my buttons just like other people in your
- 5:23world. So if someone's pushing your
- 5:25buttons, your boss is pushing your buttons and he's showing up
- 5:28and acting a certain way and you know you you're doing everything
- 5:33all of a sudden you see a way time allowing him to aggravate
- 5:36me in the more I get aggravated, the more I push away from him
- 5:39and the more he thinks I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be
- 5:41doing. So it's like this big round.
- 5:44Robin of screwed up - if you will and you have to be the only
- 5:49person in the, in the formula that can change it.
- 5:51You have to be because you're a significant part of the formula,
- 5:54just like when, you know, if we're in a Nation ship in the
- 5:56relationship goes bad. You are 50% responsible for that
- 6:01relationship, but you are 100% responsible for yourself.
- 6:05And that is a key to this, the component, to this.
- 6:09It's a key component to it. You have to go back and say to
- 6:12yourself, you know, how am I behind the scenes contributing
- 6:17to this because it's not always about what you're doing
- 6:21externally, it's about who you're being internally and that
- 6:25my Friends is the key to starting this process off and
- 6:30being successful with it is to recognizing you have to stop
- 6:34thinking about just what you're doing.
- 6:36And you have to start thinking about what you're being
- 6:39internally. Make sense.
- 6:42Okay? So I will see you guys tomorrow
- 6:46and I really want you to think about this.
- 6:47So take the time. Think about who you're being and
- 6:50I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
