- 0:25to be diving into a couple more questions around manifesting. So this is going
- 0:29to be an extremely valuable episode no matter what season of business that you are
- 0:35in. Enjoy Welcome to All In with Ali, the podcasts for online business
- 0:45owners and entrepreneurs who are ready to create the life in business of their dreams.
- 0:50I am so happy you are here. How are you doing? As
- 0:56I record this? It is finally the end of January. January is the
- 1:02longest month ever, is it not? I mean, it just feels like
- 1:06this is like month seven or I'm sorry, week seven of January. But
- 1:11we've made it, and so far, so good. I feel like I
- 1:15feel I'm feeling good about twenty twenty four. I hope you're feeling the same.
- 1:21I personally am feeling some positive momentum and there's a lot of things that's
- 1:26coming up that I'm really excited about. I've gotten a spark of creativity back.
- 1:33And I mean, if you can't tell if you're in my world and
- 1:36you follow me on Instagram, We've launched a few different things, so that
- 1:41usually will tell you where I'm at creatively. So I feel really really good
- 1:46about that. I'm in a good space with content creation and just all around
- 1:51in business. And I'm so thankful because what I've found as an entrepreneur,
- 1:57when you're doing this for years, in years and years, there's seasons to
- 2:02these things, right, There's seasons where you feel really connected and excited and
- 2:07in love with your business, and then there's other seasons where you're just kind
- 2:13of going through the motions and we've got to address that. We get to
- 2:16address that, and we get to clean it up as fast as we want
- 2:21to, and it's helpful to know how to do that. Maybe I should
- 2:24do an episode, I mean, I kind of we talked a lot about
- 2:28this in the last episode. I think it was titled Let's See It came
- 2:31out January twenty ninth, and it was titled if You're feeling blaw in your
- 2:37Business? Do this or something like that, and we talk about this,
- 2:42right, like, it's really helpful to know how to address these things instead
- 2:46of just like continuing with it because it doesn't have to continue for a long
- 2:52time. I think it's normal, for sure. But if you're noticing that
- 2:54you're feeling disconnected or bored or just not as excited about your business as maybe
- 3:04you typically are, there are ways to fix it, and it's your job
- 3:08to look at that and to dive into it and ask yourself the really valuable
- 3:15question of why am I feeling this way. It's just like any relationship,
- 3:20you know. And that's one of the examples that I brought up in the
- 3:23last episode. It's like, if you're married, or you know, you're
- 3:24in a long term relationship, it's not going to be the honeymoon phase all
- 3:29the time. But if you're going through a rough patch, instead of just
- 3:34saying, oh, this is just how it is now, you're going to
- 3:36address it. And it needs to be the same in our business. And
- 3:38I feel like personally, where at least where I'm at, we're turning a
- 3:43really positive corner and I feel really good and I feel really connected with the
- 3:49work that I'm doing and what's coming up. So I pray, I pray,
- 3:54I pray that you are feeling the same. And if you're not,
- 4:00my love and you are listening to this the week that this podcast goes live,
- 4:06please come to Reinvention. Reinvention is my next class. Or even if
- 4:12you're listening to this later on, get the recording. You can always get
- 4:15the recording in my world, but come to class. It's called reinvention whole
- 4:21The tagline is She's you, but brand new, And this is how we
- 4:26juse it up Right, if you're feeling like your business needs a facelift,
- 4:30and this we what we're going to be talking about in Reinvention surpasses business.
- 4:38It's going to have a business focus for sure, but this can be applied
- 4:42to any area of your life. Like you're the leader of the business,
- 4:46right, you're the star of the show, so you show up in many
- 4:51more areas other than business, So this is gonna affect many other areas.
- 4:56But this is the facelift we're looking for. Know that this is this is
- 5:00what we're gonna do. Like if you and what I talked about in the
- 5:03last episode, and then we'll move on to the questions is oftentimes we feel
- 5:09the disconnect because we've outgrown whatever it is that we're doing in that area of
- 5:15life. Right when you're feeling disconnected in a partnership with you know, with
- 5:20your partner, it's often because there's there's a mismatch of alignment. One of
- 5:25you is outgrowing the other, or you know there or whatever you guys are
- 5:30doing, it's just not working anymore. We need to reinvent the relationship.
- 5:34We need to reinvent what it is that you're doing so that we can have
- 5:39fun against that we can get to the good part again. And this is
- 5:42especially especially true in our business. So please, if you're in that season
- 5:46and or you just feel like you're ready for something new, you feel like
- 5:50a reinvention sounds sexy and exciting for you. You know you're ready to call
- 5:57in new levels. Maybe where you're at it's really great right now, but
- 6:00you're like, no, I'm you know, when you get the feeling of
- 6:02like I'm ready for a quantum leap now, I'm ready for an up level
- 6:06now, reinvention, I got you. So we'll put all the details in
- 6:12the show notes. No matter when you're listening, you can get at least
- 6:15the recording, or you can be there live with me, and you can
- 6:16get that two ways, either on its own or through the LFG membership.
- 6:21Okay, I'm so excited about that class. I just oh, it makes
- 6:26me so happy. Okay, let's get to these questions, shall we.
- 6:29So these are questions that I got from y'all a couple of weeks ago,
- 6:33and I only answered one, which I'm going to be I'll refer to that
- 6:38episode in just a minute because somebody asked a question that I'm going to have
- 6:42you go back and listen to that particular episode. But I went really deep
- 6:45into one, and then these were the other questions that were added, and
- 6:48they were all really good, so I wanted to, of course bring them
- 6:51here and answer them because this makes my job so much easier. So thank
- 6:57you for all that submitted these questions. So the first one that we're going
- 7:01to dive into is how to create an offer that you are excited about?
- 7:09Okay, So this is really any any business that has the ability to create
- 7:15your own offers. You have that creative freedom. But I'm of course going
- 7:20to be talking about this through the context of online business too, but this
- 7:24could definitely apply to to really any kind of business. Again, if you
- 7:29have the creative freedom to create your own offers. So the very first thing
- 7:33that I recommend that you do if you're like, Okay, I'm ready to
- 7:38create some sort of new way for people to work with me, but I
- 7:43want to feel excited about it. And I love that you asked it in
- 7:46that way. I love that you said, instead of saying, how to
- 7:48create an offer or how to create an offer that's going to make a ton
- 7:51of money, you said, how do I create an offer that I'm excited
- 7:55about? And that is the work, because if you are excited about this
- 8:01offer, you're going to want to talk about it, you're going to have
- 8:03fun selling it, You're going to be excited to fulfill it and to do
- 8:11it whenever the time comes, and you're really going to show up and probably
- 8:18do some of your best work when it's time to give this offer. You
- 8:24know, however you're whether it's a program or it's a service, or whatever
- 8:26the thing is, it's when we're just trying to create an offer, or
- 8:30maybe an offer like somebody else, or an offer to make money, that
- 8:33we don't really funnel it through the lens of that I'm also excited about.
- 8:39That. We sometimes make the mistake of making something that we're not excited about
- 8:43at all, and therefore there's that disconnective energy and oftentimes it won't sell in
- 8:50the way that it could if we had the excitement and the energy behind it.
- 8:54So the very first thing that I recommend that you do is to create
- 8:58an offer map. Okay, what is an offer map? An offer map
- 9:03is where you're going to put a big old circle on a piece of paper
- 9:07and in that circle, you're going to write your current mission statement whatever it
- 9:13is. Okay, and this is just for you, But what is the
- 9:16vibe of what you're doing for in your business? You know, what do
- 9:20you want to be known for? What do you help people with? So
- 9:22for me, my mission is I help women create online businesses and lives that
- 9:31they're obsessed with essentially, Okay, So like that's that's what I do.
- 9:35But there's a lot of different ways that I support you in doing that.
- 9:39Hence the map. Okay, we're going to map out from this. So
- 9:43we're to start with that middle section what is your current mission and way that
- 9:48you support people in your own words, and then we're going to map out
- 9:54from that, how you support people in doing that? Okay, So oftentimes
- 9:58there's multiple So for me, how I help women create online businesses and lives
- 10:05that they're obsessed with is first, we have the business portion, right,
- 10:09so we have you if you're creating an online business, we have to have
- 10:13the offers. So that's one way I help you create offers. In order
- 10:18to self offers, we have to know how to market them. So that's
- 10:20another way. Okay, So i'd be putting like on the map, I
- 10:22put offers, marketing, launching social media. What about growing a team?
- 10:30That's another way you need support. What about the life piece, delegating in
- 10:35the life outside of the team, that's another way. What about your most
- 10:39important relationships in and outside of business. That's very important. If you're creating
- 10:43a life and business that you're obsessed with, you have your relationships probably onlock
- 10:46in some way. Okay, that's another way that I can support you.
- 10:50So you're going to be doing the same way, and you're going to be
- 10:54thinking of every single thing. Another thing that you can do that might be
- 10:58helpful in enother way to think about this is think of like a step by
- 11:01step. Okay, So if you help women manage anxiety in multiple ways.
- 11:09What maybe you start with the very the steps on how you do that.
- 11:13That also could be an offer map as well. Okay, so like step
- 11:16one would be getting clear on the type of anxiety this person HAPs or or
- 11:22even pinpointing do you or do you not have anxiety? And then the type
- 11:26of anxiety, and then maybe the severity of anxiety, and then how do
- 11:31you manage anxiety in the workspace? How do you handle anxiety in a marriage?
- 11:37How do you handle anxiety as a parent? You know, how do
- 11:41you it is anxiety curable? Can you cure anxiety? Should you take medicine
- 11:46or should you do something else? You know, like see what I'm doing
- 11:50here, There's lots of different steps. If you could see the video,
- 11:52I'm like, my hands are everywhere. But that's what we want to do.
- 11:56So that's what I recommend. Because what this is going to do is
- 12:01this is a crap ton of offer ideas in front of you, right,
- 12:05because you can let's go to the anxiety example. You can go to this
- 12:09and you can create an offer on any one of these steps, right.
- 12:13You can create an offer on on do you have anxiety or not? You
- 12:20know, like or what type of anxiety you have, how do you manage
- 12:22anxiety in this particular way, in that particular way, how do you cure
- 12:26anxiety? These are all offers, whether it be a freebie or a high
- 12:30ticket thing, or a load ticket thing or whatever. So there's your ideas
- 12:33right there, and all of those ideas can be broken up even more into
- 12:41more offers. Any idea that you have can be any type of offer,
- 12:45which is really really cool. So take one thing that you put on that
- 12:48map. That could be a freebie, that could be a load ticket offer,
- 12:52that could be a mastermind, that could be a maybe even a membership,
- 12:58that could be a one on one offer, that could be a retreat.
- 13:01You know, you can take any idea and make it into a myriad
- 13:05of things, which is really neat. So I don't say that too overwhelm
- 13:09you. I say that for you to see, Okay, there's always going
- 13:13to be opportunities and new ways to bring in money and new clients and new
- 13:18energy into your business, because look, look at all these ideas that you
- 13:22have. I have my offer map that I've still used to this day.
- 13:26I've taught on it many many times. Have you've taken any program with me
- 13:30around how to create or how to launch something. You've seen me do this
- 13:33offermap and take you through it, and I still refer to it to this
- 13:37day and I'm still adding on to it, like I think of new things
- 13:41all the time, like ooh, I'm doing this really well. This is
- 13:43something that I can teach. I'm nailing this, so I could totally create
- 13:46an offer around this. So it's going to grow and evolve as you do
- 13:50as well, which we love. So the first step is going to be
- 13:54your offer map. The next step is you're gonna look at that and you're
- 13:58gonna say, Okay, what problem do I want to solve next? And
- 14:01how I think about this is I think about this in two ways. I
- 14:05think which one of these have I done really well? Or am currently doing
- 14:11really well? Okay, So there's parts of my offer map that I know
- 14:16one day I will absolutely teach on, but not yet because I know that
- 14:18I haven't nailed it. So we want to have extreme integrity whenever we're looking
- 14:24at these, because there's no reason not to. You have plenty of other
- 14:28things that you're already nailing that you could preach on and teach on and create
- 14:31offers around all day without having to dip into an area that you haven't nailed
- 14:35yet. So I funnel it through the lens of what am I nailing or
- 14:39have I nailed that. I know that I can bring my own approach to
- 14:43this and teach it well, and what feels fun to teach and to offer
- 14:50now. So there are seasons, for example, where I love talking about
- 14:56social media. I'm nailing social media. I'm excited to talk about ways to
- 15:01make your stories magnetic, in ways to get more engagement and ways to get
- 15:05more clicks on your links, and all of that feels really fun. So
- 15:09that might be a really fun time for me to relaunch stories that sell or
- 15:15killer content that sells. But then there are other seasons where I don't want
- 15:20to talk about social media. I'd much rather talk about the creation of offers
- 15:26or energy or literally any other thing. So again, I just fully trust
- 15:33where I'm at right now, because next month that preference could change, so
- 15:37then I would launch something else. So to be excited, we want to
- 15:41make sure that we ask ourselves that powerful question what am I nailing? Powerful
- 15:46questions what am I nailing right now? And what do I actually want to
- 15:50talk about. And then here's where we want to be smart business owners and
- 15:56leaders of our companies. How much which money do we want a need to
- 16:03make right now so to keep our business afloat, to live the type of
- 16:07life and lifestyle that we want. What's what's the money? What's the money
- 16:11goal for this particular launch. So often I will feel into that before I
- 16:18decide what it is and I'm launching, because that sometimes will dictate is this
- 16:22going to be a higher ticket offer or a lower ticket offer, or is
- 16:27this going to be this you know, this type of offer or that type
- 16:30of offer. Because there are times where I can get really excited about selling
- 16:36a ton of low ticket things and still having an incredible launch. There are
- 16:38other times where that feels more daunting and I'd much rather sell maybe a few
- 16:42spots of something higher ticket. It just fully depends on my mood at the
- 16:48time. But I always know what's the goal here to again to as a
- 16:56business stay afloat, pay bill, pay my team, and then to pay
- 17:02myself so that I can do the things that I want to do on this
- 17:06planet. So what's the monetary goal? And then finally we bring it all
- 17:12together on how we want to make that happen. Okay, so we now
- 17:18know we now know the area of focus that you want for this offer.
- 17:22We now know the monetary goal. Now you get to decide the type of
- 17:29offer that you want to create. So when I say that, I mean,
- 17:33do you want this to be maybe something that you record one time and
- 17:37you sell it evergreen or pre recorded to whoever wants it. Or is this
- 17:42something that you're going to teach live and there's a live element and a live
- 17:47component that will also depend on what's required for you to get the level of
- 17:52transformation that you want to give to people. So there are times where I
- 17:56know that I I want something to be more hands on because that's going to
- 18:03give the best transformation. So like whenever I created money Vibes, it used
- 18:07to just be vibes and now we've rebranded it to money Vibes. But the
- 18:11first few times I did it, it started as a one on one offer
- 18:15and then we shifted it to a close proximity group program kind of like a
- 18:21mini mind because there was so much personalization that went into that program. Because
- 18:26I'm literally walking you through how to create your own offers and how to market
- 18:30them and how to create branding and how to sell them and mindset and everything.
- 18:36So I wanted it to be more hands on so I could support through
- 18:40all of the steps. It was such an involved program in the best way.
- 18:45So I made sure that it was somewhere between like five and eight weeks,
- 18:51and there was hot seat coaching included, and there was private calls that
- 18:55was included, so the price reflected that level of proximity. It was a
- 19:00higher ticket offer because of that. And then eventually we had done that so
- 19:04many times and I felt really good about the training itself, and there was
- 19:08such a request for people that wanted just the training that then we eventually decided,
- 19:14okay, now we're going to take this recording and we're just going to
- 19:17sell it as the training, so you can buy it and you can go
- 19:21at your own pace and do it on your own. And then that felt
- 19:25really good. So there's lots of questions that you want to ask yourself,
- 19:29which I have covered here, But the big thing here that we want to
- 19:33always come back to is what is going to excite you, what feels really
- 19:37good. So this is where comparison can sometimes bite you in the butt,
- 19:44because if you're looking at somebody else and you're seeing the type of offers that
- 19:47they're creating, and you're like, they, Okay, they only do master
- 19:51classes that lead to like big intense, multi week programs, So that's what
- 19:56I should do. But you don't have to. You literally, this is
- 20:00where you have to remember. You can literally do and sell whatever it is
- 20:07that you want. So if you don't want to do the masterclass to program
- 20:11model, don't do it, because if you're not excited about it, it's
- 20:15probably not going to sell, or it certainly won't sell as well as it
- 20:18could. So I actually have a freebie and we'll link it, and it's
- 20:22called the offer cheat sheet, I think something like that, And I actually
- 20:27map out all the different types of offers, right like masterminds, mini minds,
- 20:33one to one everything. I map it out for you and I give
- 20:37you different I give you like a couple of different exercises and things to help
- 20:41you create your own offers around this. But this is just a really good
- 20:45resource to have because you need to know what type of offers that you can
- 20:51work with, right, Like, if you only think I have to make
- 20:55a program because you forget, no, you could do like a close proximity
- 20:59mastermine for three months, or you could do a smaller micromind for three weeks.
- 21:04You know, like literally, the online world is your oyster. So
- 21:08i'll link the freebie in this. Go get that because you can always refer
- 21:12to it. And what I recommend is just picking one that feels really exciting,
- 21:17based on your schedule, based on your bandwidth, based on the price
- 21:19that you want to offer it, and so on, and before you know
- 21:25it, you're going to have the perfect recipe that feels really good for you.
- 21:29So all of these things, think of them like ingredients, right.
- 21:32The price, the overall revenue goal is an ingredient. The problem you're solving
- 21:37is an ingredient. The level of proximity is an ingredient, you know.
- 21:42The type of offer, the amount of weeks, like all these things we
- 21:48just need to pick. As you pick, just make it be or let
- 21:51it be the most fun thing for you. It feels really good for you,
- 21:55and then you're gonna put it all together and boom, you have the
- 21:59exciting offer, and then you need to go out and sell it. Okay,
- 22:04So I'll link that freeb for you. If you would like a program
- 22:08that walks you through all of that, plus how to actually like put it
- 22:12together, name it, price it, and then actually like launch it and
- 22:18what to do to launch it. I have a program called how to Create
- 22:21and Launch and Offer in a Day, which is pretty gangster, and this
- 22:26is one of my favorite things to do because I feel like we can overthink
- 22:29these things. You don't have to launch it in a day. But also
- 22:32I feel like, definitely know we can rethink or overthink these things. So
- 22:34I'll link that for you too if you'd like to see it, and that
- 22:40how to Create and Launch an Offer in a Day is actually included in the
- 22:44LFG membership. You get instant access to it when you join, pretty much
- 22:48as a bonus, so you can consider that if you want to. Moving
- 22:52on to our next question, how to transition to your own business when you
- 22:59are so condition to work at a stable nine to five job. This is
- 23:04a big eie. I know a lot of people can relate to this,
- 23:07and I really want you to listen to this too, even if it's been
- 23:11a minute since you've had a And I'm going to say instead of stable,
- 23:15I'm going to say conventional, because our businesses get to be stable too.
- 23:19Obviously, and maybe you're not there yet, but I want you to shift
- 23:25from stable to conventional. So even if it's been a while since you've had
- 23:29the quote unquote conventional, traditional job, listen to this because you would be
- 23:33shocked. You would be shocked some of the mind warfare that can happen when
- 23:41you're still transitioning to your business and some of the things that can really affect
- 23:47you, especially when it comes to your mindset as you move forward and growing
- 23:51your business. So again, the big thing here is I want to shift
- 23:56from the idea of stable to conventional. That's a really stincd shift because if
- 24:02you continued to say to yourself, I left my stable nine to five for
- 24:08this business, you're essentially saying for this unstable business. And maybe it is
- 24:12unstable right now, but we want to be kind to our businesses. Right
- 24:18this is like a baby that you're growing. So we would never look at
- 24:22a tiny infant and say, well, I have this older kid who's smart
- 24:26and capable, and then I have this baby that's dumb and uncapable of doing
- 24:33anything. It's like, wait, I get what you're saying, like you're
- 24:36not exactly wrong, but also it's baby, you know, like we wouldn't
- 24:41put that energy on our babies. We get it so like our businesses are
- 24:48the same. And the more it's like a plant, you know, it's
- 24:51like it's like a human. The more that you love it and have grace
- 24:55with it and stick beside it, it's going to grow, it's going to
- 25:00flourish versus Again, if we make this weird comparison our mind of like stable
- 25:04and unstable, then there's just like a negative, there's an unnecessary negative connotation
- 25:11there. So we're gonna go conventional to unconventional. What I love about this
- 25:15is because that's exactly what it is, okay, And what I have found
- 25:19is first you need to prepare your mind and heart for the difference between conventional
- 25:26and unconventional. So what I mean by that is conventional is quote unquote normal.
- 25:34Right, It's what most people do, which is fine, but it
- 25:40doesn't mean that it's right for everybody, and it certainly doesn't mean it's not
- 25:42the only option, which is why you start your own business. Conventional in
- 25:47that sense, in the way that we're thinking, you know, the conventional
- 25:51nine to five. Another thing that this is that your your own business currently
- 25:56isn't but can be later on. Is it's predictable. You know the hours
- 26:00that you're going to work, you know the scope of work that you're going
- 26:03to be doing. You pretty much can predict what's going to happen on a
- 26:07day to day basis, and who you're going to speak to and what you
- 26:11need to do in order to get by. And usually you certainly can predict
- 26:15the amount of money that you're going to be making. However often you get
- 26:18paid in this business. With our own businesses, we are giving that up,
- 26:23okay, at least for a time being. Now, as you grow,
- 26:29you get to create a level of predictability. Obviously, you get to
- 26:33create a level of cushion and a level of recurring revenue in different streams of
- 26:38revenue that create a level of predictability. So we are giving that up at
- 26:45least in the short term compared to the conventional job. But what we are
- 26:51gaining with the unconventional is the unpredictability. Okay, so it's predictable in you're
- 27:00nine to five because there's a ceiling, there's a cap to pretty much everything
- 27:03that you do. Again, the amount of time that you work, the
- 27:07scope of work, and the amount that you can make and in the unconventional
- 27:11business, you're probably wearing a lot of hats. It's gonna look different many
- 27:17different days, depending on what it is that you're doing. But there's no
- 27:21cap. There's literally no limit to what you can create in your own business,
- 27:26no matter what that business is. Give me any example, there's no
- 27:29limit. There is a way, no matter what, to blow the roof
- 27:33off whatever you even thought was possible, and then some times two times a
- 27:37million. So you got to prepare your mind and heart for that. There
- 27:42are some people who only want predictable, They only want the conventional. It
- 27:48means nothing about them, it's just their desire. That's what they want.
- 27:53They want to be able to go to work and know what to expect and
- 27:57know what to do, and be able to shut it down at the exact
- 28:00time pretty much every single day, and then go and do the unpredictable and
- 28:04the fun and the exciting in their lives and it be like this separate thing.
- 28:11But they know what to expect in the job, and because of that,
- 28:14they're willing to accept a cap on what it is that they can create
- 28:18in terms of life and the money that they're calling in. And that's great
- 28:25and then there are other people, the sick bastards like you and me.
- 28:29We don't want that right like, we get it, We see the appeal,
- 28:33and some days we're like, oh, wouldn't it be nice if if
- 28:37I could just shut it down and not think about this until Monday. Meanwhile,
- 28:41it's the only thing we're thinking about because we're entrepreneurs because it's in our
- 28:45blood. Okay, So we've got to be able to handle a level of
- 28:51unpredictability if we want unconventional results. So that's number one. It's a very
- 28:56distinct shift in your mindset and your energy because if you go into owning your
- 29:03own business and looking for predictability, especially in the beginning, you're going to
- 29:08have a hard time. It ain't there, and that's there's a reason why.
- 29:12But if you can handle that, and you can hold that, then
- 29:17you will be able to be one of the ones who can create the unconventional
- 29:22results that blows everybody's mind, including your own. So prepare your mind and
- 29:27heart for that and practice holding it. And what that looks like is on
- 29:33the days where you are stressed because you don't know when that next dollar is
- 29:37going to come, and you're stressed because your partner is wanting to have money
- 29:42conversations with you or budgeting conversations, and you're like, I literally don't know
- 29:49when the next dollar is going to come, and how many of them are
- 29:52going to come in this month? How are we supposed to have this conversation?
- 29:55You're stressing me out right, So this is also a good conversation to
- 29:57have with your partner, spoke and by somebody who has done this many many
- 30:00times. So just own that. Be kind to yourself, and as these
- 30:06things come up, just remind yourself, Okay, this does not feel stable,
- 30:11This does not feel predictable because it's not, because it's not supposed to.
- 30:14And that's okay, that's what I'm signing up for. Can I handle
- 30:17it? Yes or no? And be honest with yourself. Some people cannot
- 30:21handle it, other people can. It's just you got to remind yourself of
- 30:25this next thing as much as you can. It really will serve you to
- 30:30focus on the good. So there's plus and minus size. There's positive and
- 30:34negative sides to every situation. Okay, So to your conventional stable job,
- 30:41there's a lot of perks. There's the predictability, there's the you know,
- 30:47a level of benefits to that. There's a ton of support. There's you're
- 30:55not obsessed with it, so you don't need to obsess over it. There's
- 30:59a lot of things there, and then there's also the con list to that,
- 31:03which means maybe you have to commute in, maybe you're doing work you
- 31:07don't love. You desire a type of lifestyle that you wouldn't be able to
- 31:12achieve with the level of money that you're making in that business. Right,
- 31:17there's plenty of cons. And then same with owning your own business. We
- 31:21could go on and on with the pros and cons as we've already touched on.
- 31:25So what some people tend to do, and this is a big mistake,
- 31:29is they get hyper focused on the cons. They get hyper focused,
- 31:33especially in the building phase or in the EBB seasons. Right, as an
- 31:40entrepreneur, it's not just an upward trajectory onward forever. It's an EBB and
- 31:45flow just like anything. So in the EBB seasons or in the beginning and
- 31:48the building seasons, it can be easy sometimes to focus on all of the
- 31:52hard and the things that are going wrong without taking a beat to say and
- 31:59this is what I signed up for, and yes, like money isn't flowing
- 32:01in the way that I want to. But I get to work from home
- 32:05and I get to be with my kids. Or I'm finally doing work that
- 32:08I love and nobody is buying it yet, but I believe that they will,
- 32:13and it's only a matter of time and then I'll be paid for work
- 32:16that I actually love. Right. So, being able to use a good
- 32:24filter on your experience in the down in the hard seasons is an absolute game
- 32:30changer. That delulu mentality, you know. And then the last thing I
- 32:37would say for you is to treat it like your job. This seems like
- 32:42a no brainer, but I have found I had clients where like and I
- 32:45for sure did this too, like when I started working from home, and
- 32:49you're like, oh my god, I can work anytime anywhere, however much,
- 32:52however little, And then you're like, I haven't worked at all this
- 32:55week. Oops. And sometimes that's okay, and other times we need to
- 33:00be real with ourselves. Okay, what are my current results? And if
- 33:07I'm wanting more, am I doing what's required to get the more? Am
- 33:10I treating this like my job? Right? So, Like part of your
- 33:14job as an online business is marketing, So if you're avoiding social media and
- 33:17you're telling yourself the story that you're bad at social media and you don't want
- 33:21to do it, and you do everything other than everything else under the sun
- 33:24in your business, but you never market yourself, and then you scratch your
- 33:28head wondering why you're not getting sales. Well, baby, let me tell
- 33:30you, because marketing is your job as an online business. That is literally
- 33:37how people are going to find you and want to buy from you. So
- 33:42that's your job description now, So either do it or hire it out.
- 33:45But it's got to be done, So treat it like your job. Get
- 33:50clear on what is your job description now, right, Like what's required for
- 33:55you to support people in your business and to get the clients and the level
- 34:00of awareness that you need to create the level of money that you want.
- 34:06That's your new job description. Do it every single day, otherwise you get
- 34:09fired and you go back to your other more conventional job. Next question is
- 34:15how to navigate loneliness As an entrepreneur who can relate to this. I feel
- 34:23like everybody listening is shaking their head and maybe one soul, sad little tear
- 34:30is seeping from your eye. Right now, we get this we all get
- 34:32this. So I feel like the most obvious answer here is we simply need
- 34:38to get in groups of like minded people. Okay, so that's part of
- 34:42it, and I'm going to give you some examples. And I do think
- 34:45that this is something that you get used to for sure, and it totally
- 34:52depends on your personal experience. But if you're somebody like you know, our
- 34:57friend who just shared the last question, that's the last question. How do
- 35:00you transition from you know, a traditional nine to five to your own business?
- 35:05If you are recently transitioning to to you know, from a job to
- 35:10solopreneur life, that's a big transition, right when you're used in going into
- 35:15an office with a lot of different personalities, or even even if you did
- 35:20work from home, you were probably communicating with multiple people. And on top
- 35:24of that, maybe your partner or your friends all can relate to you and
- 35:29your job woes and you know what it is that you do because they also
- 35:34probably have traditional nine to five situations. You don't feel alone, and then
- 35:38you transition to your own thing, and next thing you know, it's like,
- 35:42wait, I feel like I'm on an island and I'm the only one
- 35:45here and that feeling is so real, and in my experience, you really
- 35:51do get used to it for sure. So I would just say, first
- 35:55and foremost, just know that you will acclimate. You will. And that's
- 36:00not to say like you're gonna be sad forever and you're gonna get used to
- 36:04that. You're just gonna get acclimated to this new normal for yourself. And
- 36:08back to my first point, there are so many opportunities and situations that will
- 36:16allow you to get in groups of like minded people. The online business space,
- 36:22the entrepreneur space is growing by the millisecond, like this is the thing
- 36:29to do, especially in the past couple of years. Like everybody in their
- 36:31mom wants to own a business, which is amazing. So you have so
- 36:37many different options in terms of connecting with like minded people. And I genuinely
- 36:43with my heart and soul, could not recommend it more. I couldn't.
- 36:46I will tell you the times that I feel like I have performed the best
- 36:53in my business and have created the best and the most and let me just
- 36:59say it this way, I feel like the times that have been the most
- 37:00on top of my game in my business is because I was connected to some
- 37:07sort of group of people that inspired me where I felt like I wasn't the
- 37:10only one on this island. Because when you get on this when you feel
- 37:15that feeling that you're by yourself out there, then the mind can play some
- 37:21tricks on you, and sometimes you lack the inspiration and things can get a
- 37:27little stale. But when you're around people who get it, who are I
- 37:31feel like we really when I say getting around like minded people. There are
- 37:37free communities, for sure, and that's one of the examples that I would
- 37:39give you. Right there's a Facebook group times a million of free communities of
- 37:45people, and that's good. But we also want to think, and I
- 37:51also want to get you around people who are playing at the level that you
- 37:57want to play at. I would love to get you and people aren't groups
- 38:01of people who are a little bit ahead of you, or maybe even a
- 38:06lot ahead of you in some cases, because when you can consistently be around
- 38:10people who are doing the thing that you want and who are doing it well,
- 38:15and you're witnessing their tenacity, and you're witnessing and maybe even hearing some
- 38:21of the challenges that they're going through and that they're feeling feelings just like you
- 38:25are. But they're just playing a little bit at a different level. For
- 38:30me, it normalized so many things that I put on a pedestal. It
- 38:35brought so many things down to earth that I thought was so far out of
- 38:39my reach whenever I got around people who were playing a bigger game, who
- 38:44are playing at the level. And when I say playing at the level,
- 38:46like they have the type of businesses that I'm currently creating, they're earning at
- 38:52the level, they're living, the type of lifestyle right, all the things
- 38:55that like why I want to do this and the things that I want to
- 38:59create in my own business in life, they're already doing it in their own
- 39:01way. So to me, it's invaluable, absolutely invaluable. And I'm not
- 39:07one of these people who thinks that you need to constantly be like in a
- 39:13mastermind or constantly need a coach. I think there's definitely seasons for sure,
- 39:17you just need to have your own discernment for it. But it is helpful,
- 39:22it really really is. So there are there are co working spaces.
- 39:28There was a while where I was part I've been a part of a couple
- 39:31co working spaces in Nashville because I just wanted to get out of the house.
- 39:37This was after COVID and we were just all so cooped up and I
- 39:40was like, I just I need to get out of here. I need
- 39:43to be around other people, but especially business owners. And there's a really
- 39:49cool co working space in Nashville that I joined, Collective six to one five
- 39:52and loved it. Loved it. It was so cool, it was so
- 39:57viby, and it just felt like, Okay, these are my people,
- 40:00right, we get each other. We all have different businesses, but we
- 40:05get what it is that we do and why and probably some of the challenges
- 40:09that we're facing. And a lot of these co working spaces they'll have mixers
- 40:15that you can join. Ours had like an online community, and online it
- 40:21had a way to like like if you needed a photographer, you could search
- 40:24through some of the members to find a photographer, or if you were looking
- 40:28for somebody who did social media marketing, they put you in different categories,
- 40:32which I thought was really cool. That would allow you to search and connect
- 40:36with people that you were wanting to collaborate with. So I thought that that
- 40:39was really really neat and that might be something that you look for as well.
- 40:43So I think a co working space is such a great way to get
- 40:45around like minded people. Again, there are a billion online communities, many
- 40:52of which that are free, but I would just be mindful of getting in
- 40:57the right one for you. And if you're looking for something maybe a bit
- 41:01more valuable, hands on, intentional, then I would consider some sort of
- 41:08mastermind or hiring a coach, or getting in some sort of group coaching situation
- 41:15with like minded people. When I joined Melanie's Mastermind in the beginning of twenty
- 41:22twenty two, it changed everything for me because in my mind, when I
- 41:29think of people that are making, you know, millions of dollars a year
- 41:32and charging a certain amount, and who have a level of authority and notoriety
- 41:39in their respective industry, in my mind, I was thinking that they were
- 41:45so different than me because I wasn't doing that yet. In my mind,
- 41:49I was thinking, they don't get upset like I get upset. They don't
- 41:52get frustrated in the way that I probably get frustrated. Right. It's sometimes
- 41:57you can have in your head that like, they have it all figured out
- 42:00and they're superhuman, and you know, we do this artly sided for sure.
- 42:06And then I got in this group and these women are slaying the game,
- 42:12but like, are so emotional in a lot of cases deal with all
- 42:16the things that I'm dealing with oftentimes more right, because when you're playing a
- 42:21bigger game, you're dealing with a lot of you know, plenty of challenges
- 42:24across the board. But it just like it made me feel It didn't.
- 42:30I didn't feel as separate, I didn't feel as far away. It's like,
- 42:32like you are, we are so similar. You've just been doing this
- 42:36a little bit longer. You've just figured out you're just more of a match
- 42:39for this than I am, right, and it just it gives you this
- 42:43healthy For me, it gave me this very healthy perspective on what I was
- 42:46wanting to do by getting in closer proximity with women who were already doing it.
- 42:52Also, you know when you get in these groups, and this is
- 42:54why I'm such a huge proponent for long term mentorship, long term masterminds,
- 43:00because you're building real relationships. And what do you do with royal relationships?
- 43:06You get together, right, if you're in the same city as one another,
- 43:08you get to connect, you get to collaborate, you get to be
- 43:12on each other's podcasts, you get to like really ask them deep personal questions.
- 43:16Because you feel comfortable with each other, you get to get to the
- 43:20root of the good stuff. But more than anything that level, like any
- 43:25kind of proximity like that, especially in a group setting where you can really
- 43:30connect and you can hear other people's questions and concerns and when they're having a
- 43:34bad day and all the things that we deal with. When you hear somebody
- 43:37else and you can see that, like, you're not this weirdo that's different
- 43:43than anybody else. We're all so so similar. They just have figured out
- 43:47a little something that you have it, or they've been doing it a little
- 43:50bit longer, And that was a game changer for me. So like minded
- 43:54people. There's a reason why that cliche saying of like the five people you
- 44:00hang around the most is often what you're going to create, because you're going
- 44:06to be influenced by the people that you hang around the most. If you're
- 44:09around people who simply have conventional jobs and who are happy living the conventional life,
- 44:16making the conventional level of money and all those things, then as you
- 44:22try and continue to forge forward on your own path, and the more that
- 44:25you feel scared and the more that you feel alone, you're not going to
- 44:29have anybody to lean on, and you're just going to feel like the odd
- 44:34man out because you're around people who are happy doing the conventional thing. So
- 44:39you're much more likely in that scenario, unless you have a solid mindset,
- 44:45you're much more likely to maybe slow yourself down or talk yourself out of wanting
- 44:51the things that you want because you feel weird for wanting them because nobody else
- 44:55around you does. But when you're in groups of people who all want to
- 45:00make insane levels of money, who all want to drive the gorgeous car and
- 45:05have the gorgeous relationship and travel the world and live the type of lifestyle that
- 45:12you want, you don't feel weird or selfish or awkward or like it's not
- 45:16possible for you because that's what everybody else is doing and it the more that
- 45:22it becomes normalized, the more, in my opinion, and the faster you
- 45:24can become a match for it. So please, please, please get around
- 45:30like minded people. However you decide to do that, do it. It'll
- 45:32be one of the best things that you do for yourself. Okay, two
- 45:37more questions. The next one how to handle business as a new mom.
- 45:43Grace Grace grace, times, infinity, grace. Okay, who trust and
- 45:52believe? I think as a new mom, especially somebody, if you are
- 45:58a creative, if you've been doing you know, if you've been an entrepreneur
- 46:02for a minute, you're used to going. You're used to maybe being a
- 46:07high achiever, a high performer, and then you become a mom, which
- 46:13is the ultimate creation, which is the ultimate achievement as far as your body
- 46:17is concerned, creating another human life. But what's so sick is because it's
- 46:24not attached to something monetary, it doesn't equal the same thing in our minds.
- 46:30Right, even though you just created a life and your body is a
- 46:35miracle and you have this miracle that you get to take care of now and
- 46:39figure out your new normal. Because it's not directly making you money, it
- 46:45feels like you're not being productive. It feels like you're not as good or
- 46:50as powerful as you were when it could not be more of the opposite.
- 46:54You are so much more powerful. Not saying you have to have kids,
- 46:59but I'm saying, like, like what you just did was the epitome of
- 47:02power, the epitome of manifestation, the epitome of creation. So reconnect to
- 47:09that truth. Look at yourself and remember how bad ass you are for what
- 47:15you just did. Like, are you kidding? Women are insane? Okay,
- 47:21so there's that next thing. We have to remember that this is just
- 47:24the season. And I remember being a first time mom. It's like going
- 47:30on a road trip to a place you've never been to before. Have you
- 47:34noticed that when you're driving to a brand new place, the drive there feels
- 47:38so much longer than the drive home. Have you ever experienced that. It's
- 47:42like when you're driving somewhere new for the first time, it's like, oh
- 47:45my god, especially if it's if it's a trek, right, if it's
- 47:47like maybe in another stay or another city, it's like, gosh, this
- 47:51is taking forever because it's all new, and you don't know how long you're
- 47:53going to be on this highway. You don't know how many turns you have
- 47:58to take to get to this part of the destination, and then that part
- 48:02you don't know what the traffic's gonna look like or what you're gonna run into.
- 48:06But then whenever you turn around to go home, you know what that
- 48:08looks like. You know how long you're gonna be on the interstate. You
- 48:12know like the back of your hand. The path. You know, once
- 48:15you get off the interstate to your home, you probably know about what the
- 48:19what the traffic's gonna look like, so it seems a lot shorter. That
- 48:22is motherhood. The first time, the first time you're a mom, you
- 48:28have and all and by the way, all kids are different. So even
- 48:30the second time or the third time, you don't know how long seasons are
- 48:34gonna last. But especially the first time. Your mom, Oh my gosh,
- 48:37you're like, wait, wait, how long are you telling me I'm
- 48:43gonna be changing diapers? Because it's been three days and it already feels like
- 48:47a lifetime and you're saying that we're gonna be doing this for three years,
- 48:51Like, absolutely not, you know what I'm saying. It just feels so
- 48:54the unknown is the unknown. It feels scary, it feels done. So
- 49:00take a step back and just remind yourself that this is a season. You
- 49:07will get through this, but it's going to feel a lot longer, and
- 49:13it's going to be a lot more powerful painful. The more that you resist
- 49:17what is taking place in your life, that's just a fact. The more
- 49:22that you resist getting crappy nights sleep because your baby is waking up at all
- 49:27hours. Or the more that you resist not being able to have your normal,
- 49:30typical schedule because you just created a human, or the more that you
- 49:35resist not feeling your best because you're freaking exhausted because you just created a human,
- 49:39is just compounding the difficulty that you're already feeling. It's unnecessary. So
- 49:47my advice to you is grace. This is just a season and surrender,
- 49:53really, and it's so easy to give that. It's so easy to give
- 49:59that advice as somebody who found it very difficult to take it because I love
- 50:05being a mom. I love to be impregnant. But like having a baby
- 50:10and managing a business and a baby is it's a whole ass thing. But
- 50:15in hindsight, it really goes by so fast. Genuinely, in hindsight,
- 50:22it's like, Okay, we've survived and it really wasn't that bad. But
- 50:25if you had asked me in in the in the mix of it, like
- 50:30hey, how's it going, I'd be like, this is the worst thing
- 50:31I've ever done. I will never do this again. Yeah you will.
- 50:36I mean I won't personally, but I did. I did it twice,
- 50:38you know, So grace and get support if you can. What, like,
- 50:45what kind of support can you give yourself? Like, what what would
- 50:49it look like if you needed to get back into business or you wanted to
- 50:52get back in business. How can you support yourself in in that that transition.
- 51:00So for us, this looked like bringing on nanny's and that's one of
- 51:05the best things that we invest our money in because my work is very important
- 51:08to me. It's what I love, It's what keeps me going, right,
- 51:13it's my outlet. I would die if I didn't have this business.
- 51:17Truly, I truly feel like that what I do is so it's just who
- 51:22I am as a person, and I'm a mom, right, so it's
- 51:27important for me to also have proximity to my kids and be able to be
- 51:31with my kids when they need me, and take time off whenever I want
- 51:36to write, and to have that level of flexibility. Hence why we have
- 51:40nannies for each of the boys in the way that we do, and why
- 51:44we brought them in at the time that we did, so that I could
- 51:47have support and transitioning back to work and supporting my clients and getting back to
- 51:52the podcast and the things that keep me feeling human and like me. So
- 51:58what does that look like for you? It doesn't look like nannies, I
- 52:00mean, or full time nannies. Maybe it looks like a part time situation.
- 52:05Maybe it looks like having a family member come over a couple of hours
- 52:07a day, a couple hours a week so you can do some things.
- 52:12Maybe it looks like having somebody come and support you with the laundry or ordering
- 52:19meal services or anything trading off with your partner, you know. So support
- 52:25is going to be key. And then the last thing I would say here
- 52:30is if you can which you absolutely can do this and I would highly recommend
- 52:34it create a bigger context for yourself now and your business. So what I
- 52:38mean by that is, how does this baby now fit in and make your
- 52:45business and your brand and your mission even more powerful? Because we don't want
- 52:51the two to compete, right, We don't want your sweet baby or your
- 52:53babies competing with the other love of your life, which is your business.
- 53:00That's not good. How can they coexist together and make each better right,
- 53:07and support each other. So what I mean by that is your business supports
- 53:12you as a mom and your babies because obviously it brings in money because it
- 53:16brings in a love, It allows you to it gives you an outlet to
- 53:20create, so you're happier and you're more fulfilled. So it supports your babies
- 53:23in that way too. How does your baby support your business and your brand?
- 53:30So for me, when I had Cruise, my context for my business
- 53:34got so much bigger because now I'm a mom and I can relate to other
- 53:37moms, and I want to show other moms how they can do this as
- 53:42I navigate these seasons as a new mom and then a more seasoned mom,
- 53:45and then a new mom again, and then a mom is this and a
- 53:47mom is that? How what am I learning? And then supporting other women
- 53:54do it just made my why so much bigger once I had babies and I
- 54:00added that, you know, I started infusing that into my content and I
- 54:05started sharing one I'm having a bad day with the boys, or when I'm
- 54:08feeling frustrated, when I'm having a great day with the boys, when I
- 54:12finally figure it out and we find a good mix and it just it all
- 54:15gets to work together. So I would start really reflecting on what what's the
- 54:21new mission for you? Now? What's the new why of why? Both
- 54:24get to work. Why you get to be the type of mom and the
- 54:29most amazing mom that you get to be, and the level of business owner
- 54:32that you also get to be. We can have both, but we've got
- 54:37to decide what that looks like and then have the audacity to go for it
- 54:40at the same time. And you will make it happen without a doubt in
- 54:44my mind. It may not be easy and it may not be overnight,
- 54:46but you absolutely will make it happen if you do those things. Okay.
- 54:52And then finally the last question, she asked what my process for manifesting is
- 54:59after I have decid I did that I want a specific thing like a car
- 55:02or a money goal. Those are the examples that she gave. So the
- 55:07first thing that I would say is go listen to the episode that went out
- 55:10on January twenty second. This is the episode when the results aren't resulting episode
- 55:16because I share, you know, the manifesting equation is asked, believe received,
- 55:22But I get into all of those and I share where I think a
- 55:24lot of people go wrong, like if you're if you've decided that you wanted
- 55:28something and it's not happening. I share from the lens of like this is
- 55:32probably why it's not happening. So that episode's going to be really really helpful
- 55:37for you. Now I'm going to talk about it from the lens of Once
- 55:39I get a brand new desire, what is it that I do? Because
- 55:43I do have a process for this. So the very first thing that I
- 55:46do, Let's say I have a new money goal. Okay, let's say
- 55:51I want to start making I don't know, let's say like one hundred and
- 55:53fifty k months. Okay, that's my new money goal. That's what I'm
- 55:57going for. So the very first thing that I do is I would make
- 56:00sure that I don't have this number on a pedestal. What this means is
- 56:06that I've over glamorized this number. In my mind, I think that like
- 56:10if only I was making this amount, then I would be this type of
- 56:15business owner, or I would be happy if I was just earning one hundred
- 56:21and fifty thousand dollars a month, or or you know, like when we
- 56:27I think the best way to say is over glamorize it, right, we
- 56:30make it this thing that feels big for us. Now, this sounds silly
- 56:35because when you're talking about really big things like it's a big thing because you
- 56:38haven't done it yet. But if in your mind it's this over glamorized thing,
- 56:45right, then you're naturally creating this energy that you are apart from it.
- 56:52Otherwise it wouldn't feel like a big thing. Now, this doesn't mean
- 56:55that we can't appreciate the bigness of it. This doesn't mean I mean that
- 57:00if we ever create it or we get close to it, that we can't
- 57:02appreciate the fact that we made it happen. This also doesn't mean that we
- 57:07can't appreciate where we are now. But we want to take it off the
- 57:10proverbial pedestal. How are we glamorizing this thing in such a way that we
- 57:16are keeping it within arms distance of us that we're saying, I am not
- 57:22the type of person who can have this yet, because if I was,
- 57:23and I would be so much better, I'd be so much whatever. Or
- 57:29oh my gosh, can you imagine if I hit that holy crab? That's
- 57:31what so and so does. I Just I can't even believe, like I
- 57:35can't even in my head go there and think and imagine that this is possible
- 57:39for me. You got it on a pedestal. Take it off, right.
- 57:44I'm not the type of person to do that. I've never done that
- 57:45before. I'm not the type of person you see a lot of people do
- 57:49this with like relationships. You know, I just I'm unlucky with love.
- 57:52That's not I'm not meant to have that type of relationship. It's like,
- 57:57Okay, why do you have a healthy relationship on a pedestal? That's that's
- 58:00silly, Like you can want it, but but like there's nothing to glamorize
- 58:07about that, Like it's just it's it should be a standard for you.
- 58:10I think that's a really good way to say it. It's a new standard.
- 58:15Well, that's a really good way to say it. Okay, I've
- 58:17been doing this. I've been creating like kind of shitty relationships. I've been
- 58:22I've been accepting these things into my life because I realized that my standards were
- 58:27a little low. I you know, I needed to build my boundaries a
- 58:30little bit. And you know, because I wasn't doing that, I've been
- 58:35creating this level and I've been accepting this level of results. But now I
- 58:38have higher standard. My new standard, my new normal is this thing,
- 58:45this type of relationship, my new standard. My new normal in my business
- 58:50is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars months that or nothing like, nothing else
- 58:53will do. And if less comes, that's okay. I'm not going to
- 58:59turn it away. But I'm also not going to settle for it. I'm
- 59:04not going to write. So this is obviously different in relationships in business.
- 59:07So if I'm going for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars months and I make
- 59:12a hundred, I'm not going to say that that's just ridiculous. That won't
- 59:15do that just like send it back. It's not one hundred and fifty,
- 59:20right, I would say that's freaking amazing, And we're going to go for
- 59:24one hundred and fifty next month, because that's my that's my new standard.
- 59:29Like I'm so proud of myself, and I'm so I'm so incredibly grateful for
- 59:34what I've created this month in my business. And I'm still going for this
- 59:37new standard because that's the new standard, because of course, because why wouldn't
- 59:42I. Of course, it's just a matter of time until I create it,
- 59:44So why would I stop trying to create it or stop going for it?
- 59:49Now? In a relationship, this is a Relationship podcast. But if
- 59:52you have a new standard for relationships and you're getting something else right, like
- 59:55if you're dating and you want to stop messing with with messy guys, then
- 1:00:02when a messy guys come, when a messy dude comes to the situation,
- 1:00:07and you have a new standard, we don't. We're not gonna play with
- 1:00:09that. We're not gonna no, we don't have time for that. We're
- 1:00:13gonna return to sender right like, no, thank you, thanks for no
- 1:00:16thanks, keep it moving. We're not gonna be like, thank god,
- 1:00:20Well at least you came, thank you, thank you for being here.
- 1:00:22Let's go on a day, Let's let's spend time together. Well, i'll
- 1:00:25date you. I guess you're you're here, so I need to have gratitude
- 1:00:30for you. No, you don't return to center. So obviously there's it's
- 1:00:35there's nuances depending on what we're talking about. Here is what I'm trying to
- 1:00:37say, take it off the pedestal. That's step number number one. Step
- 1:00:42number two is to appreciate what I have now. So what we don't want
- 1:00:45to do and a very common mistake is to set a new standard. But
- 1:00:51then anything less than that is not exceptional or not, we just lose appreciation
- 1:00:58for it. Okay. So like in our businesses that the money example is
- 1:01:04the perfect example for that. I can go for one hundred and fifty thousand
- 1:01:07dollars months and if I get one hundred and twenty I'm not going to sit
- 1:01:10here and cry about it, right, and I'm gonna feel I mean,
- 1:01:15I could feel disappointed, like if I was going, you know, there
- 1:01:16was like a big, very specific launch or something, but I'm not gonna
- 1:01:22not have deep gratitude and appreciation for what I have now because anything less than
- 1:01:25that would you attract the energy that you put out right, So we want
- 1:01:30to feel grateful for any money that's flowing into our lives because that's going to
- 1:01:35continue the flow of it. And we can still have at the same time
- 1:01:38standards and be excited. And we go very deep into this vibe in the
- 1:01:45January twenty second episode when the results aren't resulting. And then the very last
- 1:01:50thing that I do is I allow myself to feel into if I had the
- 1:01:57thing that I'm wanting, the thing that I'm calling in net nex, how
- 1:02:00would I feel, How would I feel about myself? How would I feel
- 1:02:04about what it is that I'm doing. How would I feel? How would
- 1:02:06I go about my day? What? Maybe maybe there's very specific actions that
- 1:02:10I would be taking that I could take right now to be a match for
- 1:02:14that right, But this is this is just across the board. This is
- 1:02:20just like your everyday life, Like how would you play with your kids if
- 1:02:22you knew that you just had one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a month?
- 1:02:27Like for me, I would be so joyful and I feel like a be
- 1:02:30more present because I wouldn't have to stress about, Oh I need to go
- 1:02:35and I need to make another post, or I need to come up with
- 1:02:37another offer, or I need to like check did that sale come in?
- 1:02:39Did that payment come in? I would be so esthatic and thankful and I
- 1:02:45would just want to like go and play with my kids because I'd have nothing
- 1:02:49to worry about. Or at least that's how I feel. You know,
- 1:02:52I get clear on just like the mundane everyday things because you, as a
- 1:02:58person who isn't generating my in her business, and you, as a person
- 1:03:01who's generating multi millions in your business, still eat, Still play with your
- 1:03:07kids, still speak to your partner, still get ready for the day.
- 1:03:12Still get in the car and drive places. There's things that you're gonna be
- 1:03:15doing, no matter what level business you're at. So allow yourself to feel
- 1:03:19into how would you feel if that was your situation now? And how can
- 1:03:24you feel more like that now? So it tells me a lot. If
- 1:03:30I'm like i'd be more present with my kids, then I better go be
- 1:03:35more present with my kids. Now the hell? Why am I not being
- 1:03:37present with my kids right now? That's clearly like keeping me. I'm not
- 1:03:42a match for that thing. I'm not being as presents as I would be
- 1:03:45with that thing. This is going to tell you a lot. It's really
- 1:03:51really powerful work. Okay, So that's all that we have today. I
- 1:03:54hope these were helpful for you. If so, I would love if you
- 1:03:58took a screenshot and shared and tag me in your stories. You could tag

- 1:04:12I hope you enjoyed this. If you are ready to shake it up
- 1:04:15a little bit, and if you're ready to create the vibe and the business
- 1:04:23and the next iteration of yourself that matches how you feel within and what you
- 1:04:27want to call in next in your life. I hope you will join us
