Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hi, it's Amy with Intuite of Coaching with Amy Radio,
- 0:06Speaker 1: and this is your sacred space for spirituality, intuition, manifestation
- 0:12Speaker 1: and metaphysical wisdom. So the question is what do I
- 0:18Speaker 1: do when pursuing my passion feels risky. I've done some
- 0:24Speaker 1: shows recently on pursuing passion, and I think I summed
- 0:27Speaker 1: a lot of this up, but I'll put it here.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I'm a woman who has pursued her passions for her
- 0:34Speaker 1: a very long time and it being my job, and
- 0:39Speaker 1: so I can get the risky. I don't know what
- 0:42Speaker 1: risk the question is rooted in, but my first thought
- 0:46Speaker 1: was financial risk, and then I will talk about like
- 0:50Speaker 1: the risk of being seen, so financial risk, and I
- 0:57Speaker 1: think this is important to know. We have no idea
- 1:02Speaker 1: when whatever it is that we're up to is going
- 1:05Speaker 1: to pay off, and so you have to look at
- 1:07Speaker 1: everything that you do. It will add up and it
- 1:10Speaker 1: will lead to cash money at some point, and you
- 1:15Speaker 1: have to see it as a paycheck waiting to be cashed.
- 1:19Speaker 1: So and I learned this from an author not that
- 1:24Speaker 1: long ago, and I wish I had this mindset before.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So you really have to trust your intuition and be
- 1:31Speaker 1: really honest with yourself about does this look like an
- 1:34Speaker 1: immediate paycheck for me? And it doesn't mean you don't
- 1:38Speaker 1: pursue it, because if it's on your heart to pursue it,
- 1:41Speaker 1: it's right, and the timing is right to pursue it.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You just have to balance. You have to be balanced
- 1:48Speaker 1: and reasonable in how long you take to do it,
- 1:54Speaker 1: how much you invest in doing it, and how much
- 1:57Speaker 1: energy you exert. Because the other piece, so this is
- 2:00Speaker 1: if you think, you know, if you're really sensing the
- 2:03Speaker 1: payoff on it's a little bit further than what you
- 2:07Speaker 1: need in the immediate, then you have to have enough
- 2:12Speaker 1: gas in the tank, right, enough energy within you so
- 2:16Speaker 1: that you can go and do whatever you need to
- 2:18Speaker 1: do for money, immediate money, right, and so so and
- 2:31Speaker 1: vice versa. That's the piece I want to go with
- 2:33Speaker 1: because what just flash was a quote from Daniel Laporte
- 2:36Speaker 1: about energy and exerting yourself. So Danielaporte says, if you're
- 2:43Speaker 1: in a job right now and you're wanting to start
- 2:46Speaker 1: a business, she said this in the fire starter sessions,
- 2:49Speaker 1: you're going to have to pull back to like eighty
- 2:51Speaker 1: percent seventy percent. I have some clients they've been doing
- 2:56Speaker 1: their job so long, and they're so good at their
- 2:58Speaker 1: job that they can go back to twenty five percent
- 3:00Speaker 1: and still be wildly effective. And then that gives them
- 3:03Speaker 1: seventy five percent of their energetic resource to go and
- 3:08Speaker 1: do the business, to grow the business, to grow the passion,
- 3:12Speaker 1: if you will. And this can be really challenging. This
- 3:18Speaker 1: balancing of energy can be really challenging for people who
- 3:22Speaker 1: overfunction and overdo. But you're already exerting way more energy
- 3:28Speaker 1: than you need to, So you gotta really you have
- 3:31Speaker 1: enough energy to start the business. You just have to
- 3:36Speaker 1: be again be honest with yourself about does this really
- 3:41Speaker 1: require this must exertion? And oftentimes it's just thought. We
- 3:45Speaker 1: don't realize how much our thinking can deplete us because
- 3:49Speaker 1: thinking triggers feelings, and feelings get going in the body,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and then it does it does affect us, right, And
- 4:00Speaker 1: so you might be overthinking some project you can do
- 4:04Speaker 1: in ten minutes, maybe overthinking it for three days. Well
- 4:08Speaker 1: that was three days you could have been working on
- 4:11Speaker 1: your passion. So you really have to be one more
- 4:14Speaker 1: time honest with yourself about how much energy you're exerting
- 4:17Speaker 1: and where, and then and then you can find that, oh,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I can see where I can take risk to pursue
- 4:26Speaker 1: this thing. So paycheck waiting to be cash. You don't
- 4:32Speaker 1: know when the money's going to come back, but you
- 4:35Speaker 1: do have your intuition and if something's on your heart
- 4:40Speaker 1: to do it and be aware of you know, sometimes
- 4:46Speaker 1: we logically know, like if I'm doing a book launch
- 4:50Speaker 1: or if I'm starting a manuscript, I always set my
- 4:52Speaker 1: release date and then I know the earliest I would
- 4:56Speaker 1: see money from this book is, you know, given the
- 5:00Speaker 1: payment cycle for the retailers, right, so sixty days from
- 5:04Speaker 1: the date of release or sixty days from the sale right.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I say day of release because you know, there's usually
- 5:12Speaker 1: a lot more sales activity around a release date. And
- 5:16Speaker 1: so then I can gauge how much I'm going to
- 5:18Speaker 1: spend the way I'm going to spend it to determine
- 5:24Speaker 1: not if I'm not going to do it, I've already
- 5:26Speaker 1: decided I'm going to do it right. And you have
- 5:28Speaker 1: to really want something and you have to really be
- 5:32Speaker 1: passionate about that thing and love it, and then you
- 5:37Speaker 1: can gauge how to use your resources, particularly your cash,
- 5:44Speaker 1: money and your body or your credit. If you're you know,
- 5:49Speaker 1: say you're going to finance it. So I hope that helps.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Now the risk of being seen, well, if you're pursuing
- 5:57Speaker 1: a passion that requires you to be seen in order
- 6:00Speaker 1: for that thing to be monetized, you got to go
- 6:03Speaker 1: ahead and get over the idea that it's risky to
- 6:08Speaker 1: be seen. It wouldn't be on your heart to do
- 6:11Speaker 1: something that requires eyeballs on you if it wasn't meant
- 6:17Speaker 1: for you to do it. And so just get over
- 6:19Speaker 1: the belief that it's going to be risky. Surround yourself
- 6:23Speaker 1: in a blanket of protection, believe that you know, if
- 6:26Speaker 1: you're doing something online, that the online space is peaceful
- 6:29Speaker 1: and safe for you, The online space is peaceful and
- 6:32Speaker 1: safe for you, and then get going. So there's no
- 6:40Speaker 1: risk in being seen if that's what's required of whatever
- 6:47Speaker 1: passion you're pursuing. And most of us have to be
- 6:50Speaker 1: seen for us to monetize a passion, right, So, and
- 6:56Speaker 1: I can understand, Oh, maybe I'm afraid of judge or
- 7:00Speaker 1: criticism or rejection. I mean that's par for the course, right,
- 7:05Speaker 1: And there will always be someone who doesn't get the thing,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you know, because I've said this before on the program
- 7:14Speaker 1: My second business, which I start, well, after this one
- 7:20Speaker 1: is a book business. I write and publish romance novels
- 7:25Speaker 1: and I and so I'll often read, you know, even
- 7:29Speaker 1: as I'm looking for a romance, I'll read some reviews
- 7:32Speaker 1: and I'll be like, what book did they read? Right?
- 7:36Speaker 1: And I have reviews for my books where I'm like,
- 7:38Speaker 1: what book did they read? That was not in the book?
- 7:41Speaker 1: You're always going to get something like that, right though,
- 7:46Speaker 1: my spear guits are jumping in. They're saying, because there's
- 7:50Speaker 1: a woman that have been following for years business coach,
- 7:55Speaker 1: I know she holds the energy of what is allowed
- 8:00Speaker 1: in her world, and her reviews reflect that. And so
- 8:07Speaker 1: you can hold the energy that you're not going to
- 8:09Speaker 1: get that whack and do person who's writing about a
- 8:13Speaker 1: book that wasn't there, Right, They've made up some story
- 8:16Speaker 1: about the book, and right, you can definitely hold the
- 8:19Speaker 1: energy that you're not a match to that type of consumer,
- 8:22Speaker 1: and you're available for people who genuinely love the work.
- 8:28Speaker 1: You can hold that in advance and believe that to
- 8:31Speaker 1: be true, and then that is what you will attract.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So I pray this was helpful. There is no risk
- 8:40Speaker 1: in pursuing a passion if you are reasonable and you
- 8:45Speaker 1: know that's not a word I often use on this program,
- 8:47Speaker 1: but reasonable as it relates to productivity, your energy essentially,
- 8:54Speaker 1: if you do it in a balance centered way, if
- 8:57Speaker 1: you do it in a conscious, aware way, stop and
- 9:00Speaker 1: you have quiet reflection and you get clear about what
- 9:03Speaker 1: you want. If you return to a place of stillness
- 9:06Speaker 1: as you're making decisions and trust, trust that the answer
- 9:12Speaker 1: is within you and that it's accurate. Right. If you're
- 9:19Speaker 1: sensing yes, this is going to be profitable, that's true,
- 9:25Speaker 1: trust that that's true, while recognizing you have no idea
- 9:29Speaker 1: how and when it's all going to come together and
- 9:32Speaker 1: in what form it's going to come together. So stay
- 9:37Speaker 1: open and stay aware, focus on your desired result and
- 9:42Speaker 1: not your fear. That's the other way you can manage risk.
- 9:46Speaker 1: I think people people either don't take enough risk because
- 9:51Speaker 1: of fear, or they take too much risk because they're
- 9:54Speaker 1: feeling fear and they think they just have to bet
- 9:56Speaker 1: the farm, and neither of those really work. So stay
- 10:00Speaker 1: focus on what your desired result is in pursuing your passion,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and you will find that you win every time. You
- 10:07Speaker 1: win every time, and if you have a lot of
- 10:09Speaker 1: ideas beautiful, do them all. Do them all while again
- 10:13Speaker 1: respecting this model of paycheck waiting to be cash. You
- 10:18Speaker 1: don't know the date it's going to actually end up
- 10:21Speaker 1: as cash money. You're going to need to be balanced,
- 10:24Speaker 1: meaning you might have to exert energy over here so
- 10:28Speaker 1: that you can either bring in money or complete something.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And my stircuits are jumping in right now. It's just
- 10:40Speaker 1: you got to be mature. You got to be energetically mature,
- 10:45Speaker 1: and that can be tough. And that's why I do
- 10:47Speaker 1: the work I do, and that's why I create a
- 10:50Speaker 1: sacred space where you can have conversations like this so
- 10:54Speaker 1: you know, like, Okay, this is the best path for me,
- 10:56Speaker 1: and this is the next right step for me, and
- 10:59Speaker 1: this is the best toacision for me because I get it.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I get it. I know it all makes sense as
- 11:08Speaker 1: I'm saying it to you here on this show. But
- 11:11Speaker 1: in your real life, as you're navigating your passion and
- 11:15Speaker 1: monetizing it, it can be difficult to remember all the
- 11:21Speaker 1: spiritual wisdom so that you can do all that you
