• 0:10
  Jenny Fontana, founders of the Life Coach Method. Each one of our uplifting
• 0:17
  and deep dive episodes is geared to help you tackle the things that hold you
• 0:22
  back from having the most magnificent life you deserved. Sit back, relax,
• 0:28
  and prepare to be coached. Hi, everybody. Doctor Cali estis the Addictions
• 0:35
  Coach, the Addictions Academy, and the Life Coach Method. I want to
• 0:40
  talk to you individually today on this podcast without my co host because number want
• 0:46
  you sick. But number two I have a very important message for you.
• 0:50
  So I understand right now, we are in unprecedented times, if you will,
• 0:56
  right, we have the issue in the Ukraine. It's got everybody up
• 1:00
  that we have the issue with gas pump rising. Food is being delayed.
• 1:03
  You can't get the things you need. Prices are through the roof. Right.
• 1:08
  This is a lack mentality. Now. I understand there's a war in
• 1:11
  the Ukraine that's a little bit different, but what we have here in the
• 1:15
  United States is a lack mentality, meaning I can't get stuff. I lack
• 1:22
  being able to get stuff. It's called a lack mentality. I cannot access
• 1:26
  it, I cannot afford it. So I see these memes all over social
• 1:30
  media. One says, you know you're worried about the gas price, but
• 1:34
  you should be grateful you're not in the Ukraine. So that is a very
• 1:38
  convoluted way of thinking. It's saying, you're really dealing with this problem,
• 1:42
  but instead of dealing with it, we're going to divert you to another problem
• 1:47
  and say, at least you don't have that right. It's like you're sick,
• 1:52
  you have a cold, you don't feel good in someone going at least
• 1:55
  you don't have cancer. Suck it up. That's that mentality. That's a
• 2:00
  little odd. The second thing I see people saying is, look at the
• 2:02
  gas pump. It's going up. It's going up, it's going up.
• 2:06
  I'm gonna blame the government. I'm gonna blame the trucker convoy. I'm gonna
• 2:09
  blame this, I'm gonna blame that. All of that is happening when we
• 2:14
  are in a position where we feel pushed up against a wall, backed into
• 2:17
  a corner, we lash out. I want you to stop for a second
• 2:23
  and think, what can I do I can't control the cost of gas.
• 2:29
  I can't control the fact that I can't get my favorite paper towels. I
• 2:32
  can't control the war in the Ukraine. I have no control over any of
• 2:38
  these things. What I can do is create more income to pay for the
• 2:46
  gas pump, to maybe order the supplies online if I can find them,
• 2:51
  and to send money to the people in the Ukraine that would help. That's
• 2:54
  what you can do. Now. The backside of that is most people will
• 3:00
  realize, oh my goodness, all this is going on. It's negative,
• 3:02
  negative, negative negative. I can't do anything. They get paralyzed in times
• 3:07
  of crisis. So we see people with trauma in times of crisis flourish.
• 3:13
  Right. We see people that don't have trauma in times of crisis panic.
• 3:17
  What's happening is a panic mentality. I can't afford the gas book, I
• 3:23
  can't afford this yogurt I want. I can't afford this thing, whatever it
• 3:27
  is. Now, it's gonna sound strange when I tell you this. Best
• 3:34
  thing you can do is create a stream of income. Now that may cost
• 3:38
  you money. Right, You might need to create flyers cost money. You
• 3:43
  might need to create business cards cost money. You might need to take a
• 3:46
  class online cost money right. Pick Bull said scared money don't make money,
• 3:53
  and that is correct. So if you're sitting here saying I have thirty dollars
• 3:57
  in my bank account, I can't pause simply spend this thirty dollars to make
• 4:00
  business cards because I need this for food. Here's what I'm going to tell
• 4:05
  you. Every one of my six companies I have created with thirty dollars in
• 4:11
  my bank account up to three hundred. That's it. I didn't get a
• 4:15
  loan, I didn't get an investor. I didn't write a business plan.
• 4:17
  I didn't do any of that Shenanigan stuff you're supposed to do. I said,
• 4:21
  I'm going to print business cards. I'm gonna print flyers. I'm gonna
• 4:25
  go out and me in the mouth. I will get a climb or I'm
• 4:28
  going to create a LinkedIn profile which is free and market it on my Facebook.
• 4:31
  I will get a client. There are things you can do within the
• 4:36
  confines of what you have. The problem is you're sitting here saying I don't
• 4:41
  have anything. That's the problem. You have to think of what can I
• 4:46
  do right? Think of it this way? You need extra income? Is
• 4:49
  there a room in your house you can airbnb. Is there an additional piece
• 4:53
  to your house you can airb in me? Is there a mother in law
• 4:55
  suite? Okay? People are renting their cars out for additional income. You
• 4:59
  can rent RB or your boat that's just sitting there in storage for income.
• 5:03
  If you're a stay at home mom and you say I don't have any money
• 5:06
  and you're into couponing, I just saw a girl on our neighborhood watch group
• 5:13
  take her extreme coupon it and sell it. She went out and had all
• 5:16
  these products that she got for free she couponed, She watched she got free
• 5:20
  product, set it all up in her garage and said, come to my
• 5:24
  house. I'm going to sell it for less than what it's being sold for
• 5:28
  in the store. So right now, a gallon or five gallons or whatever
• 5:31
  they are, the big laundry intertion of tide that cost you twelve to fifteen
• 5:35
  dollars in the store, she's selling for eight. Guess what she's making eight
• 5:41
  dollars profit on something that cost her pennies on the dollar because she coupon.
• 5:45
  That's a side hustle. So she's going to walk away with money. Because
• 5:48
  people are gonna say, wow, why would I pay fifteen dollars for tide
• 5:53
  when I could pay eight? Makes sense absolutely. My sister who's not on
• 5:59
  today, has a friend who does donation. She says, donate me your
• 6:01
  baby stuff, donate it. She resells it for a profit. It's a
• 6:05
  side hustle. It brings her additional income. These are things you can do,
• 6:11
  and sometimes a side hustle becomes a main hustle. When I was in
• 6:15
  my early twenties, I was a certified massage therapist State of Pennsylvania, and
• 6:20
  I used it as a side hustle. I used it to get through college.
• 6:24
  I did massage for a massage company and they paid me thirty five dollars
• 6:29
  an hour. That was a good money for a college kid back in the
• 6:31
  nineties and the os so. Then I said, well, why not do
• 6:35
  this correctly, do it like a main hustle. And I was in Westchester,
• 6:40
  Pennsylvania, with no money, and I went around and I ran into
• 6:43
  a choir prorector who had a building and I said, this is what I
• 6:46
  do. I do massage. He said, well, I already have a
• 6:46
  massage therapist. I said, let's start a wellness center. Let's have all
• 6:50
  kinds of stuff, massage, yoga, reiki, acupuncture. And he looked
• 6:55
  at me and said, what a great idea. Why don't you rent one
• 6:57
  of the rooms. It's four hundred bucks. I said, I don't have
• 6:59
  four one hundred dollars. I have zero. But I can get those people
• 7:04
  to rent that and split through. And that's what I did. I found
• 7:08
  four other people to split that four hundred bucks a month with me. So
• 7:12
  I paid one hundred dollars and then I charged ninety nine dollars a massage.
• 7:15
  So in one month, I had to do one massage to pay my rent.
• 7:20
  Now I have the rest of the month as free money. And he
• 7:26
  had great foot traffic. So I took his little sign and stuck it outside.
• 7:29
  I stood outside, I handed out my business cards and every person walking
• 7:31
  by. We were near the courthouse in Westchester, on Gay Street in Westchester.
• 7:36
  So I did that on nothing zero dollars. That's a side hustle that
• 7:44
  became a main hustle. And then we sold the company. We actually sold
• 7:46
  Westchester Wellness Center and it's still there today, almost twenty years later. So
• 7:51
  what I'm telling you is you don't have to have a lot of money,
• 7:55
  but you have to have a lot of grits. You have to have a
• 8:00
  or a need to make that happen. And now is the time. Things
• 8:03
  are going up. Prices are going up. The chicken I buy my dog
• 8:09
  was six dollars a piece, it's now twelve. It's doubled for the same
• 8:13
  amount of food for my dog. Right, same amount of food for me,
• 8:18
  same amount of food for you. And people say, oh, just
• 8:20
  buy cheaper, buy cheaper, buy something cheaper. That's a weird mentality to
• 8:26
  me, because you have a quality of something you like, you don't want
• 8:31
  to buy cheaper. Right. If you're a woman and you buy makeup,
• 8:33
  you don't buy makeup at CDs unless you're fifteen. You don't buy makeup at
• 8:39
  Walmart. You buy makeup from a makeup counter and MACI, you buy land
• 8:43
  Come, you buy Clinique, you buy makeup, you buy Mac. Right,
• 8:46
  it's good for your skin, like good for your skin. It's better
• 8:50
  for your skin than the garbage at Walmart. But there's a reason you want
• 8:54
  quality, the same reason you don't go to the dollar store and buy pots
• 8:58
  and pants. They're going to break. It's better to spend the two hundred
• 9:03
  dollars on a pot and have it for two or three years, than the
• 9:07
  fifteen dollars on a pot and had it for a week and have to buy
• 9:11
  another one, and another one, and another one and another one. It'll
• 9:13
  cost you more in the long run. So what I'm saying to you is
• 9:18
  I understand what's going on. I understand you're scared. I understand you're frustrated.
• 9:26
  I understand your panic. And when I talk about increasing abundance and making
• 9:33
  money, people say, I don't have any money. I can't make money.
• 9:35
  That's a mentality, right, that is a thought process. And I
• 9:41
  posted this a couple of weeks ago on my Instagram, and I have a
• 9:45
  troll. I always have a troll that came on and said, well,
• 9:46
  how do your you say, poverty is a mindset. Poverty is a mindset.
• 9:50
  I've been homeless twice. I grew up in a very, very poor
• 9:54
  household, and I left when I was nineteen because I didn't want to be
• 10:00
  poor and I didn't want to follow in the footsteps of working a job right
• 10:05
  at high school and retail. At the best, I might be a manager
• 10:11
  at forty grand I didn't want that. For myself. I wanted more.
• 10:13
  I knew I had more to give back. I could do more, okay,
• 10:18
  but I didn't have any money. So I had jobs and I ended
• 10:22
  up homeless, and I was sleeping in my car, and at one point
• 10:26
  I was sleeping out in Huntington, Djene, sleeping bad. So I didn't
• 10:30
  have all these resources that wealthy people or rich people had to give their kids.
• 10:35
  I had no resources. My father was successful, but didn't share it
• 10:39
  with me. My mother, you know, she was same job since she
• 10:46
  was in high school and thirteen bucks an hour. She didn't know how to
• 10:50
  get out of that. Her mindset was going to work, get a paycheck,
• 10:52
  get a pension. Now there is no pension. You know, you're
• 10:56
  gonna work till you're seventy and you'll be lucky if social side curity is three
• 11:01
  hundred dollars. So you cannot rely on that. You cannot rely on the
• 11:05
  government's funds to help you, or money you paid in for thirty or forty
• 11:09
  fifty years. You have to think outside the box, and ninety nine percent
• 11:13
  of people panic and say I can't do that. Well, I'm here to
• 11:18
  tell you that you can think outside the box and not only that you need
• 11:22
  to think outside the box because if you don't, you will be in lack,
• 11:28
  and lack is panic. I don't have money for food. I don't
• 11:33
  have money for the rent. I don't have money for this, that and
• 11:35
  the other thing. Now, I'm not telling you to go out and get
• 11:37
  into an MLF. I'm not telling you that. So please don't think I
• 11:41
  have to run out and join this MLM and sell prep to my friends.
• 11:45
  That's not what I'm saying. But there are things you can learn to do
• 11:50
  to help yourself. One is coaching. Of course, I'm gonna plug my
• 11:54
  company shameless blog coming right here. You want to be a life coach,
• 11:58
  they make between seventy five and twenty five an hour with the certification. It's
• 12:01
  ic accredited. We are the Addiction's Academy. Is icf A credited. The
• 12:07
  Life coach method is icf A credited. If you want to be a life
• 12:09
  coach, you should do that. If you want to be an addictions coach
• 12:13
  or an interventionist, now is the time. Because addiction has gone up thirty
• 12:20
  to forty percent, mental health has gone up thirty to forty percent. People
• 12:24
  are not going to therapy anymore. They're going to coach you. Here's why.
• 12:31
  I've been a clinician for twenty seven years, so I have done every
• 12:35
  facet of therapy, CBT, NLP, DBT, all of it TC.
• 12:41
  I've done therapy. Therapy approaches you as if you're broken and I need to
• 12:46
  fix you. Coaching approaches you as if you're a whole and I need to
• 12:52
  make you better. Let that sit for a second, broken to be fixed
• 12:58
  or whole, to be the best version of yourself you can. That's why
• 13:03
  I do coaching. That's why I teach coaching. I teach addiction coaching.
• 13:09
  I teach life coaching. The new Life coach method is going to blow you
• 13:13
  out of the water, it really is. It's taking the principles of therapy
• 13:18
  and throwing them into the accountability of coaching and making it so powerful and so
• 13:22
  amazing that your clients get transformation fast. That's what you want. So if
• 13:28
  you make a small little investment in yourself, whatever that is, to become
• 13:35
  a coach, you could turn around and make that money back. For example,
• 13:39
  if you came to my Addictions Academy, it's nine hundred and ninety nine
• 13:43
  dollars one thousand bucks, right we do pay the plant. You come to
• 13:46
  us, you pay one thousand bucks. How many clients do you need to
• 13:50
  make that back? Well, if you charge one hundred and twenty five an
• 13:54
  hour, which is going right, you should have no problem getting that one
• 13:56
  twenty five an hour. How many sets do you need to make that back?
• 14:01
  Think about that for a second, right, one twenty five, two
• 14:07
  fifty three, seventy five, five hundred, repeat that twice. That's eight
• 14:13
  hours of your time helping one, two, three or four people to get
• 14:18
  your money back. Now you after eight hours, it's all your profit.
• 14:22
  So this is very simple. You can build a LinkedIn page, you can
• 14:26
  market on Facebook, you can do a few lives, you can grab a
• 14:30
  TikTok account. All of these things are free. All of it with us.
• 14:35
  You get a free directory listening, you get two of the largest networking
• 14:37
  groups on Facebook, you get a job board. All of this stuff.
• 14:41
  There is no reason you shouldn't have a client. So that's simple. So
• 14:46
  investing in yourself is something you need to do. It's something you need to
• 14:48
  take the time, energy and effort to do. I'm always investing in myself.
• 14:56
  I'm always looking at what's the next thing I need to learn. I
• 15:00
  just took a course on negotiating with one of the top FBI negotiators. Why.
• 15:03
  Because I want to be better. I want to be better at what
• 15:07
  I do. I want to be better at what I can offer my clients.
• 15:11
  If you don't want to do coaching, figure out what you can do
• 15:15
  to add value and increase your income. That is the key for today's podcast.
• 15:22
  And I'm doing a short podcast because I want you to get off with
• 15:26
  me and start figuring out what your side hustle is. That can be your
• 15:30
  main hustle. That's important side hustle, main hustle. If you hate your
• 15:35
  job and you hate going to work nine to five and you hate the people,
• 15:39
  you're in the wrong field and you're probably not making enough money. So
• 15:43
  creating abundance solving your problem. Stop looking at the gas pump going, oh
• 15:48
  my god, to fill my time get costs me an extra twenty five dollars.
• 15:50
  I can't handle this, Oh my god, it's awful. And figure
• 15:54
  out how to make that twenty five dollars. Because if you're complaining about it,
• 15:58
  you're in lack. If you're in action phased solution phase, you're getting
• 16:03
  things done. If you have questions on this what helper Guide needs, reach
